Seriously... If y'all want a general strike, we need:

  * 2 weeks' notice to plan
  * Conditions for when the strike ends
  

Assuming this even got enough traction to catch on, one 3-day weekend isn't going to do anything.

This almost feels like "corporate manipulation": Let the slaves "have a day" to cool off and feel like they've accomplished something, then get 'em back in the mines!

> * 2 weeks' notice to plan

Here you have two more further in the future: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/

> February 17th: Impeach, Convict, Remove, Defund

> March 28th: No Kings

Out of those two, I'm guessing the "No Kings" one will be the larger.

> This almost feels like "corporate manipulation":

It is indeed! Manipulating the corporations by showing that people can actually decide to stop working, and it generally scares all the executives because they realize (yet again) that it's actually them who depend on the workers, not the other way around.

This is all strikes. People love to point to the strikes that got us forty hour work weeks and women voting but they forget that the other side has had time to respond. So now we waste our time with this instead - and look at your proposal seriously. What kind of strike give two weeks notice to the entities you're striking against?

I briefly looked over the PDF, but I'm not a lawyer. If I understand correctly, they're suing "DOES 1 through 10".

So, I'm assuming they're hoping for a "default judgment" against Anna's Archive, and then they'll presumably start taking domain names and any other hosting resources?

Then, I assume in the end, nothing will really change, just like The Pirate Bay still exists in the open on a series of rotating domains.

But at least the lawyers will be able to justify their job.

Foobar2000 is ... tricky through WINE. Though I will proudly say that I did it, it took a lot of research into obscure wine configs. These are my notes from last time I did it, maybe you'll find them helpful:

  ```bash
  export WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.wine-foobar2000  
  winetricks allfonts  
  for packg in vcrun2003 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2015 vcrun2017 vcrun2019 vcrun2022; do winetricks -q $packg; done 
  winecfg # Set Windows version to 11
  ```

In theory...

In practice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_re_Boucher

The government gets what the government wants.

That's literally like asking "What car has the best driving experience?". There is no one answer.

If you want something that "just works," Linux Mint[1] is a great starting point. That gets you into Linux without any headache. Then, later when bored, you can branch out into the thousands[2] of Linux distributions that fill every possible niche

I would never, recommend anything from Debian-family for consumer use. Its literally outdated linux, under the marketing 'stable'.

Fedora is so significantly better.

I wouldn't confuse popularity for good. Ubuntu gave away free CDs in the 2000s and are living off old marketing.

Debian family is so bad. You will be in the terminal constantly just trying to get stuff to work. Stick to a well maintained, up to date, consumer distro, Fedora.

(reminder that Fedora is Not Arch)

There's a famous quote:

  Those who cannot remember nmap are condemned to remake it poorly

Rootless nmap scan of a /24 in under 10 seconds:

  nmap -T5 -sn -PR --script broadcast-dns-service-discovery,broadcast-upnp-info 10.0.0.0/24
  …SNIP…
  Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (30 hosts up) scanned in 9.99 seconds

https://nmap.org/book/toc.html

I like nmap and use it often. The linked tool seems to be doing different or additional things vs nmap.

What makes you think it’s not learning from/remembering nmap?

That nmap command does the same thing as the author's command, except for the UI, for which there are dozens of nmap-uis available.

But you've got to admit that OPs tool does it quicker, except if you like to memorize flags or already have a script specifically for this. And it's much nicer on the eye than most (all?) nmap-guis out of the box.

It does it quicker if you already have this tool installed. nmap is everywhere.

The goal has never been to create something that can replace nmap, the goal was to learn more about networking and about building TUIs in Go. Honestly I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of traction it got today, definitely not what I expected.

I am very grateful for all the feedback and suggestions, and I will take my time to evaluate every comment. In the coming weeks I will try to implement most of the feedback and do releases to improve the tool further, thanks everyone!

LLDP and CDP would like a chat

Tooooo be fair

Vim had also had its share of execution vulnerabilities over the years.

Yep, it's a shame that we keep making the same mistakes when it comes to basic security practices.

Was going to say the same thing about emacs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42256409

What is share dot google? Here's the real link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42256409

Bah. It's what chrome on Android is doing now when I ask it to give me the link. Fixed it. Thanks!

I had searched for it in the search bar at the bottom of the home screen, which opened it in a chrome window. If you tap the share icon on the top right, you get the share.google link. If you tap the three dots and then something like "copy link" you get the actual link.

160k over three years. That’s like 1 or 2 junior devs and zero hardware budget.

The fact this failed is not surprising, I’d be amazed had it succeeded.

You didn’t want to buy online but then were happy with the poorest quality stone harbor freight had to offer? That’s an odd choice.

There are many quality whetstones to choose from and a lot of debate on the absolute best. But TLDR, KING is generally highly rated:

Harbor Freight has random decent stuff. Maybe the whetstone was one of them.

That's like saying Goodwill has random decent stuff.

Technically true, but rarely true.
