Are you aware of Redlib? Self-hostable frontend for Reddit aimed at privacy. I’ve never had a problem with old.reddit but Redlib has a bit of a more modern UI if that’s what you’re after. There are a bunch of public instances if you don’t want to host it.

Otherwise I’m sure you could use uMatrix to disable the tracking (can’t give detailed instructions sorry), but I’d argue hitting Reddit’s domain at all is already less than ideal if you’re trying not to be tracked.

I had never heard of coffee tonic, but I love both coffee and tonic, and it’s rolling into summer here. I am absolutely going to try this!

I’m on Wayland these days, but if you happen to be using X11 this is the homebrew solution I used to use:

xdotool type --delay 50 "$(xclip -o -sel c)"

The --delay argument specifies the delay in milliseconds between keystrokes; if you go too low on that it tends to break things.

Interested to see what solrize comes up with because this method definitely has drawbacks – no way to interrupt it and if you accidentally paste something large it takes a long time to finish due to the forced delays.

I’ve never really had the need for a Wayland version, but I don’t see why subbing ydotool for xdotool and wl-paste for xclip wouldn’t work.

For fun I did a quick check and based on GEBCO elevation data this looks like about 20m sea rise (I’m guessing exactly – I assume whoever made the image picked a round number).

I could have posted what 2m looks like but at this scale it just looks like current Florida.

shopt -s dotglob will make * include .dotfiles.

That’s just a one-time pad with extra steps.

I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. As far as I know it’s an issue with a driver installed on the computers, not with anything trying to reach out to an external server. If that were the case you’d expect it to fail to boot any time you don’t have an Internet connection.

Windows is bad but it’s not that bad yet.

Looks like the laptops are able to be recovered with a bit of finagling, so fortunately they haven’t bricked everything.

And yeah staged updates or even just… some testing? Not sure how this one slipped through.

So close.
