The article says the 45 day window is due to fuel limitations with Starliner, so at that point I’d imagine they’d un-dock it and de-orbit without crew. Regardless they wouldn’t leave the astronauts to die (I hope) and would mount a rescue mission.

Ew, imagine having brittle, unreliable solder joints instead of just using the fume extractor that you should already be using. You think that flux smoke is good for you?

I can second the suggestion for the x3d, I have one and it’s wonderful.

If you start wearing programming socks it’ll happen on its own.

Live up to your username and go shake down your house mates and boss every time you gotta do other people’s work.

GameCube or gba-sp.

And in some of the snowy states in the US they put a shitload of salt down on the roads if it even might snow or freeze, which turns all the steel on your car into rust over the years. There are so few affordable used cars that won’t be a maintenance nightmare in some of those places.

plz no.

Fuck I better not have that power.

I think I’ve touched too much grass to understand this.

China pls sabotage TSMC so we can stem the flow of chips into every goddamn thing I can buy. I don’t want an ad burned onto my morning toast once dumb toasters aren’t sold here anymore.

I can download patterns to sew them though.

You wouldn’t download a purse.

WATCH ME MF!

Oh that could be, I’ll set up an openVPN connection later and see if it’s any different.

The old Pop! shell (I assume you’re using the old one since last I checked the new one written in rust isn’t ready to daily yet, hopefully soon though…) hasn’t gotten any love in a long time, but I’m surprised you don’t see it in Ubuntu. Here’s what it looks like for me on Fedora:

I don’t know the situation on Windows but the network manager VPN integration on Gnome is actually pretty amazing. Just have my VPN set to auto connect and it just works and comes right back up without any drama when the system wakes from sleep or switches access appints etc. definitely +1 for not using the vendor apps.

Any body know of any good ones that use wireguard? I have PIA (didn’t do anything I needed to be actually secure on fortunately) since I get amazing performance with wire guard vs openvpn, or least it seems to be a lot less picky when the underlying connection is weird or unreliable.

Also, for anyone who needs to hear it, a VPN alone will not protect you and you shouldn’t use both at the same time unless you know what you’re doing and the security consequences.
