  • Actually saying it out loud it kinda sounds like a BFE, Minnesota accent. Or maybe more Canadian. However my idea of Minnesota accent is based on the mom from Bobby’s World and Uncle Joey’s beaver.

    I’m realizing again a few minutes later that 00s+ kids may not get either of those references. And Dave Coullier is Canadian and I think his beaver is too.

    Edit again, I realize that the 00s+ kids that don’t get the references would probably be more confused by me referencing two mens beavers.

    Dave Coullier (sp?) was the actor who played the character Uncle Joey (Gladstone) in Full House, where he pretended to be the uncle to three little girls and lived in their house, with their dad Bob Sagat (of “the aristocrats” and “Rolling with Sagat”), after the mom died of mysterious circumstances. As the girls got older Uncle Joey started making videos where he stuck his hand into a beaver and used it as a puppet. Part of this gag usually revolved around various jokes about “wood”. Eventually this got him to become a bit of a local celebrity, in the morning news and as a radio host.

    Partly related fact, Alanis Morissette’s album (and now Broadway Musical), Jagged Little Pill, was inspired by a bad breakup with Dave Coullier





  • Link shorteners and redirectors, especially new and lesser-known ones tend to get caught in the fray with things like Google Safe Browsing (which FF uses as well) and Smart Screen.

    It’s because the original/shortened link gets reported and not the real/destination site. Then the domain (of the shortener/redirector) gets flagged, instead of the real site.

    This happened to me at work this very week, with a redirector service that’s a part of our email security stack. FF and Chrome were both blocking links that were safe, because the redirector service itself was classified as sus.







  • Ime Google AI is much worse about making up wrong answers to sound right.

    If I’d ask ChatGPT and Google AI to help me craft a set of Ansible tasks to do something rather simple but also something I don’t do very often, like converting PEM certs + key to PKCS12…they’d both write a playbook that’s close, but ChatGPT would be much closer.

    But they both say crazy shit sometimes. The other day ChatGPT told me Fedora 40 is the latest release and 43 is still in testing.


  • The idea is to have four stacks of cards at the top. One for each suit, ace thru king. Once you get that you win.

    You can move cards around the bottom by stacking them in descending order (King thru 2), in alternating colors (red, black).

    You can move multiple cards to a new stack if it’s suitable.

    You can turn the upside down cards on the bottom once there are no face-up cards covering them.

    When the bottom stacks are empty, you can start a new stack in that spot, but only with a King.

    The draw pile at the top is where the different sets of rules come into play…some people draw 1 at a time, some draw three at a time. Some people also play with a limit of how many times you can loop through the draw pile.

    There’s also a scoring system but that’s unimportant for most people unless they really care. After all, solitaire is a one player game.


  • Ah if you want to use it on their website or in a browser you’ll probably also need a mini card driver like OpenSC.

    And if you’re using firefox, you might have to go into settings to add a pkcs provider and tell it where opensc-pkcs11.so is.

    There’s lots of generic info out there on smartcards in Linux if you were so inclined to “figure it out”…but I don’t blame them for not “supporting” Linux…that’s kind of a minefield.

    Still, that’s the fun of Linux…realizing that “not supported” doesn’t mean it won’t work…just that they won’t help you.





  • Not OP, but I have been meaning to talk to my Ubuntu admin about Intune on his systems so we can use conditional access on them.

    With how difficult it had been to get macs setup, I have a feeling Edge will be the only way it works.

    So in enterprise situations…I’d say “Plausible”.

    Personally I mostly use Firefox on Linux, but Proxmox gui doesn’t handle that so well…so for that I have an App-isized Ungoogled Chromium window.
