I mean, that’s high praise for a vacuum. I would be more concerned if it didn’t.

They’ve actually achieved a higher state of enlightenment by using the superior duodecimal system (a.k.a. base 12).

Gosh dang, I was trying to make that a joke but yours is better than anything I thought of.

Alternatively, send them straight to a site that absolutely gets them put on some watchlist. Not as much instant karma as malware, but situationally more useful in the grand scheme of things. (Some kind of government honeypot perhaps, or just phish n’ dox them.)

If they actually read the Bible, they would never let a child near it go near a child.

I feel like Linus has a good heart, but I think the constant pressure to be relevant has kinda ruined his personality over the years (at least on camera). I have fond memories of LTT’s videos like 8 years ago, but now they’re overproduced for my taste; they just don’t seem genuine anymore. Same old story as most anyone that makes it big, I know.

OOHHH very true, didn’t think of that. I’ll definitely try to be more considerate next time.

Not a big enough company for the owners to have vacation homes (only like 8 people so they were still very involved in the day-to-day), but one of them was talking about upgrading their riding mower a lot at the time. They were going to spend like 9 grand to cut their mowing time from 3 hours to 1 hour 45 minutes. All I could think was “lol, why not just restore most of that grass to native grassland and never think about it again?”

If I had the perspective then that I do now, I probably would have at least tried to do similar. At the time though I thought it was my dream job and blamed myself for feeling like I wasn’t meeting expectations. My crippling social anxiety (also just depression?) making it darn near impossible to ask for help… well, that didn’t help either.

The funny(?) thing is it was a small company of like 8 people total including the brothers that founded and own it. They’re not mean or totally heartless people either, the owners just don’t have good business sense.

I did my summer internship there during college a couple years earlier and thought everything went fine, but when they let me go they mentioned out of nowhere that “we had a similar concern while you were interning” even though I don’t recall them ever bringing that up with me prior to that very moment. Just weaseling for any justification they could think of for what they knew was a terrible miscalculation on their part, methinks. Oh well, it only put a minor dent in my self-esteem… 😅😑

For real. My last job essentially let me go because my being depressed meant they weren’t confident I could handle the workload of 2.5 people. Of course, they made that out to be my fault. Thanks guys, I’m worse now.

Agreed, copyparty is awesome. However, the one obvious downside is that you lose guaranteed offline support (some clients may allow for it, but it’s not baked in).

It’s weird with a multi-command string (i.e. when semicolons get involved), shortest answer is to fiddle with it. I think it may work at the beginning if you put the rest of the command in a (subshell)?

Ah yes, good ol’ absurdism.

Pro tip: you can also put the < urls.txt at the start for readability. The arrow doesn’t have to point at the command.

I think you may feel more at home in Non-Political Comics then. (Tbh I understand, sometimes I have to live over there for a few days. No need to be rude about it though.)

To commandeer their superior grammatical sensibilities?

Do I have enough ___ stockpiled? No. Hoard more. Rinse and repeat.
