I had a friend describe this method as well, though he was a bit more direct and grabbed the piece with pliers and pulled it out, usually fairly bloodily. Then he’d bandage it up until it stopped bleeding, and watch it grow back and clip it if it started edging back out to the side.

I had it happen a couple times and used his method, and then I heard someone say if you cut the toenail straight across instead of following the curve, it wouldn’t do this. Since I started that, I haven’t had it happen again. I just use electrical sidecutters and don’t cut them super short either.

About 1962

I swear, he puts that “Thank you for you attention to this matter” in there just to piss me off.

This thread makes my asshole itchy.

Mir wasn’t adopted and is now a Wayland compositor.

It doesn’t matter if you hide the number; at some point they deanonymized you when you signed up.

Want to be a dick about “hoops”? Get a number that isn’t traceable. It can be done, but it’s tough. I doubt its possible in the countries that really need anonymity of association.

Matrix

No clue. Never even tried to use it since it’s a Meta product. I was referring to Signal’s phone # requirement being a non-starter.

Matrix and Element. Run your own server if you want or use a server that’s not in the US.

Don’t ask me for a phone number and I’ll use it.

I switched from a Pixel 4a to a Moto Razr when the 4a lost support, because I wasn’t going to go any bigger than the 4a. Wish it had a custom ROM like Graphene though.

I’ve actually been really happy with the Razr for size and screen protection when folded. Haven’t broken it yet and that’s a record for me.

There used to be a discount on condoms but it never got used.

Call customer support, say your 90yo dad is staying with you and you need to disable all wireless devices that will interfere with his medical devices.

So I have a smart plug set up on my printer and print server (old HP 4P with separate network print server.

I have NodeRed watching my CUPS queues via HTTP scraping, and if it sees a job in the queue for that printer, it turns on the print server and printer via the smartplug over wifi. I have seen someone link a project that does something similiar.

Water?

Never touch the stuff.

Fish fuck in it, doncha know?

Basically it’s two vulns chained; first one gives a remote user privileges that a physically present user would get, in order to do things like put a thumbdrive in and have it mount. Then that udisks privilege can be subverted to escalate that level to root. So as long as you can start a remote session, you can pull root and it doesn’t even look that hard.

Ah. Yah, well, I just went with the article’s own headline since so many comms insist on that.

Are you saying LPEs aren’t a security hazard?

Nexus 7 with FBReader connected via OPDS to Caliber, and I get books via Usenet, most of which I’ve physically bought but hate reading physical books now. I have several extra Nexus 7s because I like the size, old Android doesn’t have a lock screen which annoys the fuck out of me when I read in bed and they work fine.

There’s a blast from the past; it has to be 30 years since I played UO.
