Those are two different measurements.

He’s six feet tall.

And he’s three inches.

I know. I’ve played it many times. I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough.

Why not just go through Sloan? Seems so much easier.

(I know why you don’t go through Sloan. Feel the sarcasm, people.)

It’s another slice of Swiss cheese. If the user has a strong enough password or other authentication method through PAM, it might stop or hinder an attacker who might only have a compromised private key, for example. If multiple users have access to the same server and one of them is compromised, the account can be disabled without completely crippling the system.

Using sudo can also help you avoid mistakes (like accidentally rebooting a production server) by restricting which commands are available to the user.

Because one hog ain’t enough, and two’s too low, it is I, Thirty-To-Fifty-Hogg!

I’ve had the same mechanical pencil for ten years. It’s comfortable, reliable, easy to reload, but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, I’d still go with the traditional wood/graphite pencil. It’s cheap, it’s everywhere, it’s durable, and not a great loss if you lose it.

“Are you a man or a woman?”
“I am hammer and sickle.”
“What gender are you?”
“Communist.”
“Yeah, but what’s in your pants?”
“The means of reproduction.”

Funny how time works.

• 1995 was ten years ago.
• 1997 was three years ago.
• Every year of the 80s was 20 years ago.
• 2010 was 10 years ago.
• 2016 was two years ago.
• 2018 was two years ago.
• 2019 was one year ago.
• 2020 lasted for six years, but ended three months into the year.
• 2021-2022 didn’t happen.
• 2023 ended just a few weeks ago.
• 2024 still hasn’t ended. We also invented time travel. Consequently:
• 2025 apparently started in the 1960s, and rapidly progressing towards the 1940s.

Pretty good, and somehow getting better with time; especially considering how much you can get out of the game for completely free.

The game’s main premium currency is platinum. There’s no way to get it through in-game activities. You can buy it directly, it is included in most cash-only purchases, or you can trade it freely with other players. Most of the trading is organized on the third-party market board warframe.market, and the in-game trading chat… exists, I guess.

Most of the game’s items (weapons, warframes, companions, upgrades) can be farmed through regular gameplay from random drops, from specific missions or boss fights, crafted from gathered resources, or bought using in-game currencies. You can buy most of them for platinum, but don’t have to. The only payment-exclusive items are cosmetics (skins, helmets, color palettes), but not all of them, and inventory slots. There are also many late-game items that are impossible to buy and have to be earned. Some items are also sold in discounted packs. As of the latest major update (released literally a few hours ago), you get an additional discount for items of a pack that you already own.

The worst limiting factor for a new player is warframe and weapon slots. Your account can only hold a limited number of certain items, and slots are almost exclusively purchased with platinum (a small number can be earned through Nightwave, a free battle pass-like system). A new account starts with 50 non-tradable platinum – my recommendation is to buy 2 weapon slot packs (12p for two slots, 24p total) and a warframe slot (20p for one).

I’ve had Friday evening sessions that were ended by the morning sun. I wasn’t kidding about the crack simile. Time is just a suggestion when you have an assembly line to complete.

I have the most hours in Warframe, but Factorio is on a different level. If you’re anywhere on the spectrum, it is pure crack cocaine. The only reason I haven’t bought the DLC is because I know it’ll consume a month of my free time.

By the way, Warframe 1999’s soundtrack fucking slaps.

You wrote an SQL statement?

Calculating animations and game mechanics assuming a constant 30 FPS worked well for Eternal Ring, it’ll be fine for Elden Ring.

Оф корс ит из сэтайрь. Ай’м виллинг ту бет мост Американс вуд шит брикс иф дей хед ту лёрн а секнд алфабет.

(Approximate transliteration of: “Of course it is satire. I’m willing to bet most Americans would shit bricks if they had to learn a second alphabet.”)

Just a few short months and it’ll grow into a proud spanning tree.

Hey, you. You’re finally woke. (cognitohazard warning, it’s pure, distilled brainrot)

Femboys are.

(I don’t and have never used autocorrect on this phone, but I can still affirm their existence)

Counterpoint: if you have the ability and willingness to learn how Linux works, un-fucking a broken Arch installation will teach you more about the system than spending months with a stable distro. I know because my first serious daily driver was Manjaro.

Spez.

He’s spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, “accidentally” banned a ton of NSFW subs. This made at least some people realize that their future is not guaranteed on reddit, that an off-service backup is needed; then a r/piracy post mentioning Lemmy reached the front page.
