running your own server is super lightweight.

Not IME. Are you running Synapse? Gigabytes of disk usage and memory leaks requiring restarts.

The hacker formerly known as Lemmy, written 𓁁.

I definitely understand the call of the void. The mental image of killing my cats quells any desire to squish them - for me - but I get it.

I can use IRC

The fact that many Discord and IRC channels (servers?) block Matrix connections has drastically reduced its usefulness for me. When I was running my own Matrix server, I could have gotten around it by using a puppet, but Synapse is such a hog I had to shut it down, and most of the IRC rooms I want to use don’t allow Matrix proxies.

Is it possible to configure the kernel to allow access to decrypted contend only through the user session?

Theoretically, kernel keys can be set to be readable only by the user session, and in an uncompromised root is not able to read those keys. I can imagine a filesystem encryption design that uses a user session key to en/decrypt data on the fly using a user session key, such that not even root or a process in another user session could read the mounted filesystem.

Does such a system exist? As I understand, this is not the way dm-crypt or LUKS work. FDE and TPM are still vulnerable to hacking while everything is running, unlocked, and mounted.

Is Lemmy a furry?

Yes!

Current understanding of cat psychology is that being constrained is calming to them, so there’s a good chance that your cat enjoys being given a firm but gentle (i.e., not to goo) squeeze.

A hypothetical pet that’s basically a stress ball that loves being squished would be ideal, but a cat is pretty close!

Yeeeeah… um… except OP includes the consequences. Most people want to squeeze but stop at the wanting to splatter their pets to goo. That’s where it goes from “normal” to “psycho.”

Really. Do you really empathize with squeezing your pet so hard you kill it? I think most people’s cute aggression desire stops before the killing.

That’s the corn syrup. There’s a definite difference; corn syrup is more cloying. Side by side, it’s easy to tell the difference. My comment was just that not even sugar could make Coke more palatable.

Messing around is how blow jobs were first invented. If we’re ever going to discover the next major sex move, we’re all going to have to do our parts and mess around a lot while we’re cleaning the starfish.

Yeah. Back when sugar-Coke was a thing (it was going around in popular media about “better” Coke being available around Passover) we searched around and found some and tried it. I couldn’t tell a difference, but that’s probably because I don’t like Coke to begin with and hadn’t tasted the corn-syrup version in decades so had nothing to compare it with. It was putting lipstick on a pig.

You’re right that Coke-Cola’s just going to fine ways to cut corners. My guess is that they’d start with sugar, but slowly start adding corn syrup back in in increasing amounts until it’s back to mostly corn syrup and some token sugar.

It’s not widely stocked except around Passover, IIRC because it’s more expensive. Because corn subsidies.

I don’t like Coke, and I stopped drinking colas altogether years ago, so I’m not exactly current on shelve stocking. But that’s my recollection.

I’m lucky to know I’m a smart dumb person, because

1. I know several, and have encountered many, truly smart people.
2. I’ve known a great many clever dumb people.
3. I know my father, and believe genetics is a strong influencer (not determiner).

I liked it through the last season I watched, which was there season after the big gap. 5, I think? I don’t watch a lot of TV, and I don’t fanboi very well; was that after he left?

Not for her, apparently.

Would capillary action still work, or does it depend on surface tension? I’m thinking about superfluids. Would the water stop at covering the floor?

What is that? A squirrel? Chipmunk?

I mean, if that’s how you get your rocks off, you do you. Personally, I’ve never found vitriol to be in any way healthy.

“You’re not obligated to respond”, combined with “nobody else cares about your quarrel but you and that idiot” are the two maxims that make my social media experience better. Sometimes I feel like arguing, but if I think someone’s arguing in bad faith, I just block 'em.

Life’s too short to spend time interacting with morons.
