- Comment on McDonald's is getting rid of self-serve drinks and some locations may charge for refills 5 months ago:
No kidding. No one needs 64oz of soda with their meal. McDonald’s is actually one of the few fast food places that saw an increase in customers over the last few years and they’re planning on releasing a $5 meal soon.
- Comment on Microsoft announces the Proteus Controller, a gamepad for Xbox gamers with disabilities 6 months ago:
Lots of people make valid criticisms of Microsoft and Xbox, but one thing that no one can criticize is their dedication to making products for people with disabilities. They have been consistently releasing these products for people despite a small market for them.
- Comment on Fewer people are using Elon Musk’s X as the platform struggles to attract and keep users, according to analysts 7 months ago:
There’s probably a sociology theory that would apply, but my guess would be a loss of 33% of active users over the course of 6 months.

I don’t think anyone is commenting “Who else is listening in February 2024?!” on Practical Engineering videos about how fish swim through turbines.

Ew. Who reads YouTube comments anyway?
- Comment on Why is AI Pornifying Asian Women? 10 months ago:
Because we have been pornifying asian women on the internet for decades. Does that really beg the question posed in the title?
- Comment on Hackers can infect network-connected wrenches to install ransomware 10 months ago:
Sick, so now I get to worry about the fucking emergency exits being ripped off the plane I’m flying on because the network connected torque wrench was hacked and displayed the proper torque setting while under torquing the bolts.
Can we not connect every fucking thing to the Internet?

Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.

- Comment on PlayStation Portal Is Out Today, But Fans Are Having a Hard Time Finding One - IGN 1 year ago:
I’m mad that people are being sunk by consumerism. The cost of living is sky high right now and people are wasting their money on products that don’t make a whole lot of sense. Theres similar products that work much better for just a little bit more. Hell, buy a used tablet. At least that has processing like I mentioned. You can remote play through the tablet for a fraction of the cost.
- Comment on PlayStation Portal Is Out Today, But Fans Are Having a Hard Time Finding One - IGN 1 year ago:
Others have said it already, but it’s the best way to describe it. It’s literally just a screen with a controller attached. You can only use it for remote play on a PlayStation console at home. It doesn’t offer cloud gaming and it doesn’t allow you to even connect to WiFi networks that require you to sign on in a browser before gaining access to the Internet because the thing doesn’t even have a browser included in the software. The only common use case I could see for this thing is if you’re you going to a friend’s house as a teen and want to play online games while in person.
Even then, as a parent I would much rather just spend the extra money on a steamdeck or other handheld that has compute and actual software. This is a ripe $300 turd that hardcore PlayStation fans and overzealous scalpers are buying.

- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator 1 year ago:
Yes. Independent developers have regularly released smash hits like Stardew Valley.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator 1 year ago:
No way Microsoft let’s that happen. He’ll be forced out. The only reason Microsoft looked into this consolidation is because he was running the company value into the core of the earth.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal gets preliminary approval from UK regulator 1 year ago:
Counterpoint: Consolidation in such a fast paced industry with a low barrier to entry isn’t as bad as physical goods consolidation. If Microsoft acts in bad faith, people just won’t buy games from that studio anymore, developers will just leave the company and start a new studio, free lance, or work for another party. It’s not like ABK was lighting the market on fire either. Microsoft is buying a trash heap and hoping to turn the internal culture around to bring back neglected IPs
- Comment on My least favorite thing about Flatpak 1 year ago:
I used optimize, but what I really meant was organize
- Comment on My least favorite thing about Flatpak 1 year ago:
I’m new. I only just took my first few steps into the world of Linux like 2-3 weeks ago to set up a Pi-hole VPN. From what I can gather in other comments is that flatpak is a program that optimizes storage by keeping any program and it’s dependent files in one place instead of having dependencies spread out amongst system folders. The drawback would be that running simple commands like OP did don’t work because the files are either held in an unexpected place according to the repository or they files were technically installed in their respective folders, then moved to their respective container by flatpak which marks them as having been “used”. The other drawback seems to be system overhead. The container system must use a bunch of storage.
That’s what I took from the post and comments anyway.

Wow! You absolutely know what you’re talking about! You did an amazing job clearing that up for me. I’ll save this comment in case I need to come back to it. Thank you!

That makes total sense. I never really considered that I have been learning Windows over the past 20 years. It was just learning “computer”. And I really appreciate the compliment to my dedication on it! I’m really happy with the result and I learned more about linux/networking/LePotato/Pi-hole than I would have guessed at the beginning of this whole project. From battling with Wireguard server configuration…ufw and portforwarding…client configuration…back to ufw…IP configuration…keys…etc. Troubleshooting was a maze sometimes 😂. One more thing before I go.
About the name thing. Say I type:
name="Gerald" wg genkey > ${name}.key
Would my output then be a key generated by Wireguard and named “Gerald.key”? Or would it need to be:
wg genkey > "${name}.key"Or like in your example:
wg genkey > $name.keyI think I’m mostly getting caught up in when the quotations are necessary and when they’re not.

Linux is so cool, but boggles my mind. I just simply don’t have enough time to really get a good grasp on the terminal and commands associated with it. It took me 3 days worth of attempts from 8am when my fiance leaves for work to 5pm to finally get a pi-hole set up in tandem with a self hosted VPN with wireguard. I just got it up and working on Wednesday this week. I know there’s a tutorial on the pi-hole website, but with no Linux terminology experience it was tough to know what I was supposed to be typing into the terminal. Several times I was typing:
sudo -i cd /etc/wireguard umask 077 name=“client_name” echo [interface] > “name”
I thought the name= line would tell the terminal that I wanted to replace all the following lines that “name” should be replaced automatically. Then I figured out that they were just telling me that I needed to replace “name” in their terminal commands with what I wanted to name the associated files I was creating lol. It was a real man…I’m a fucking moron moment.
