No fucking way anti-oligarchy is the future of the party. The Dems are going to run the same tired playbook of courting the center and hoping the Republicans shit the bed. They are already saying this loudly and often.

Harry doesn’t need to study or practice because, by accident of birth and circumstance, he’s naturally gifted at magic. Hermione isn’t naturally as gifted, but with hard work and dedication, she can do it all. Ron is neither, so he’s just the fuck up.

Lol thanks for clarifying your sarcasm. 😂 I can be an airhead at times.

I was actually interested in trying NixOS on a laptop that is gathering dust. I did see a few months ago that there was some drama surrounding the project owner, though. I never investigated enough to understand what that was all about, but I’m less excited about digging into something if it may suddenly end.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am interested in nix, but haven’t explored it yet.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I think I have a clearer picture of the problems it’s trying to solve and the solutions it’s delivering.

It also now seems connected to immutable distros I’ve heard about recently. So I guess the idea there is that the OS is just a tiny core set of libraries that never have to change, then the applications have their dependencies bundled, instead of requiring them as system dependencies.

I’m not convinced it’s something I want as a user, but more importantly not something I need.

From a development perspective, it seems downright seductive, allowing almost total freedom of opinion.

The AUR is a different kettle of fish entirely, though. I do see your point, but the AUR is solving a problem common to all distros; hosting a repository for applications that there isn’t willingness or capacity to host in the official binary repos.

Installation, removal, dependency management, etc are all still handled by pacman. As others have pointed out there are great tools available to aid in AUR usability. My favorite is aurutils.

Some kinda wise guy over here 🤣

They have young people at metal shows where you are? Seems like the only heavy shows people under 30 attend are hardcore.

The sway man pages are really helpful. I prefer waybar and bemenu to round out my core environment tools.

“Bad people” isn’t the schtick of Sunny or Seinfeld, or any comedy. Shitty people is a trope that’s as old as comedy itself. Twists and turns of their lies, dastardly plans backfiring, etc. If you have a problem with that, I think your sense of humor is broken.

On the other hand, if you think their particular bits or premises aren’t funny, you’re just demonstrating you have bad taste, and that is fine.

The billionaire class probably have enough resources to starve us all out of a general strike. The system ticks on in the meantime… Landlords expect rent, banks expect mortgage payments, interest accrues, etc.

I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I don’t think there’s a way to swat the system in the nose and in bring it around to working for regular people.

To cripple capitalism in the way that people seem to envision would require mass worker revolt; seizing assets and land, securing access to basic needs, military and communications operations. However, a prolonged revolt will only create a power vacuum, so it would also require a plan to implement reforms in a coordinated, cooperative, and sustainable manner.

“It’s Always Sunny” is some of the greatest American comedy since “Seinfeld”. If you think it’s trash, I’m interested to know what you consider great comedy to be.

Alright let’s get this started. Shōgun is not a good TV show.

Manjaro actually made me lol.

That would be torturous, indeed

I dunno, but it is certainly in the universe of movies I don’t care about.

Biopics suck in general, but calling this a cinematic universe is cranking it up to levels of lame I wasn’t prepared for.

This could have been something I blissfully ignored; four movies about each of the band members. Instead, some movie studio asshole right now is dreaming about Jimi Hendrix getting his own feature for the BCU.

That sounds miserable. I don’t know if any music would hold up under that, but I’m damn sure “Love Me Do” gets old fast.

I don’t really have a problem with their music, but biopics are generally bad and they’re making one for each of them.

I’m reaching here because I don’t know the first thing about Mullvad, but it probably has some script that takes care of it’s own DNS needs. I remember the before times, when you had to write up and down scripts that would update resolve.conf directly, then configured OpenVPN to run them on connecting/disconnecting.

It’s possible it could be a box checked or config option in Mullvad that broke it by not fixing DNS on it’s way down?

OP also said they don’t fully remember what was done, so they may have disabled systemd-resolved or installed openresolv or who knows what else.

Fortunately, in this case, they should be able to follow the systemd-resolved docs from the beginning to end up with it working.

127.0.0.53 is the local stub used by systemd-resolved, so OP should pull this thread and comb the docs. If systemd-resolved is installed and not being used, it will cause conflicts with openresolv (most likely alternative).
