What is this, some sort of devil kernel?

yeah a well executed punch definitely doesn't need to have your whole body strength behind it in order to fuck someone up, and whatever lands is infinitely more damaging than what doesn't

I'd also recommend training combat sports. even if you never end up in a violent altercation the compound benefits are fucking amazing

My left hand is named "semantic jab" and my right hand is named "ad hominem"

Cool comic and mostly good advice but I'd make some adjustments and additions :

  • Don't ball up your fist, keep your hands relaxed and flex your knuckles right before impact
  • Exhale as you're throwing the punch, you'll get a bit more power and you won't get tired as fast if you have to throw some more
  • You shouldn't lean into it that much, leaves you open to unpleasant things like getting knee'd in the face
  • Best not to "follow through" like that either. Your punches should be snappy and practically bounce off of the nazi's face. This is also conducive to punching more nazis, or punching the same nazi more

I've been using this adapter for both BT and WiFi and it's honestly pretty good. Works out of the box and I've experienced zero hiccups in the past 6 months. So long as you don't mind the big ass antenna that is

I'd still recommend getting an AMD graphics card and generally prioritizing hardware with upstream drivers. As in, drivers that are included with the kernel itself. The experience is always better. Overall it's still a good habit to look up how any hardware runs on Linux before buying it.

Gaming in a Windows VM is possible but it was a big ordeal when I did it. You have to make sure your CPU and motherboard support IOMMU for PCI passthrough. It's less of a problem nowadays but there are still some pitfalls with PCIe lanes and whatnot. You need two video adapters, one for the host and one for the guest (because the host has no access to the passed-through GPU) and if you want to game on both Windows and Linux that can be a pain in the ass. It goes on. I personally don't recommend it. If you have to play trashy eSports that ship with built-in anti-cheat malware then just Windows for that.

There is no crypto peddler in this thread

Sure let me meaningfully engage with "dae le drugs amirite stop-posting-amogus"

No that's pretty much on the money, but it's also a problem with proof-of-work consensus algorithms specifically

I don't know I guess it's just exhausting how everybody has to have a crazy out-there opinion about every fucking thing in or outside their spheres of competence and just loads up that shit with twitter irony like it's free salad at a salad bar

Man what the fuck am I doing on hexbear. Even the most inconsequential disagreements turn into this sort of bullshit, without fail

[–] ennemi@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Completely fair. I'm mostly interested in what it can do for distributed computing and inter-organizational trust and most of that is being done outside flashy VC circles and not getting much media coverage. Naturally anything that allows organizing outside of bougie government institutions is good up to and including crime money
