    I said this to someone once and they accused me of being “elitist”. The simple fact is when I learned how to do this stuff, there was no such thing as a GUI for any of it. You did it on the CLI, or not at all.

    (Almost the exact same experience with git, funnily enough)

    I 100% agree though; the bones of the setup of my NAS (admittedly mine is Ubuntu, just because everything else I run is too) was done once 18 months ago, and most has never been touched again. Just software updates every now and then and ignore it the rest of the time.

    I don’t feel like I’ve lost any functionality doing things this way, either. I discovered when a disk died that it even uses SES to light the error LED and turn on the annoying beeping noise on the JBOD, and I didn’t have to do anything to set that up. I call that a win.

    Not that I know of, which means I can only assume it’ll be a timing-based attack.

    With strategic use of sleep statements in the script you should stand a pretty good chance of detecting the HTTP download blocking while the script execution is paused.

    If you were already shipping the kind of script that unpacks a binary payload from the tail end of the file and executes it, it’s well within the realm of possibility to swap it for a different one.

    Presuming you mean 4x 2560x1440 there, you can have close enough to that pixel count today; one of the things Dell released at CES this year was a 52" 6144x2560 display (U5226KW).

    Since it’s intended to be a monitor, you get a USB hub, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, and other things you wouldn’t get on a TV, too.

    I’ve been looking at it longingly, but I can’t quite justify that pricetag right now.

    Having had one for almost our cats’ entire lives, I can confirm that they do not.

    It also creates something of a pavlovian response; it doesn’t matter if there’s still food in the dispenser’s bowl or he’s literally just eaten, the sound of more biscuits dropping is enough to make him absolutely hoof it in the direction of the feeder. Sometimes doesn’t even eat anything, just has to run over to it.

    But also at regular checkouts.

    You’ve just stood there motionless for the last 4 minutes, while someone else (potentially two people) scanned and bagged your purchases for you.

    How is it that JUST NOW is the time you’ve decided is right to rummage through your bag for your wallet/purse, or check your banking app on your phone to see if the account actually has money in it? What were you doing for the rest of the time that was so vitally important?

    I swear you can just about hear the birds flying around in their head sometimes.
