    Obama was and is and always will be a centrist playing the role of a leftist. Romneycare watered down with extreme Republican ramrodding torpedoeing their own policies into Romneycare-lite and Obama still went with it. That’s some of the reasons why people hate hate and really hate corpo dems and their nominees. Either voters get turned off or turned away or turned against.

    Kamala and DNC are to blame for this mess.


  • No I don’t think it is because “woman” but rather “obvious awkward disingenous hello there!fellow kids!” Reasons why McCain wasn’t nominee Kerry failed and many other reasons. Bernie would have won. Just sayin’. But too late now innit. It’s not old guy or woman. It’s how the dems campaign with zero and negative conviction benefits or reasons for voters to go vote. Not copium but sad reality. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. If your policies don’t align then they won’t risk their life for you.

    And climate change doesn’t reduce the grocery bills or stop inflation. Just sayin’

    I use Ventoy regularly but im too lazy to setup Grub2 on a USB and load up isos.

    Not sure who these Ventoy fanbois or bros are.

    Yup Ventoy does hide binary blobs and has some dodgy devs and code. Use at own risk.

    Also I dont have any sensitive stuff. So mostly Ventoy is used to install playground server isos and stuff. Not much use for it otherwise.

    It is the same/similar problem that Nokia/Maemo and Sailfish/merOS have all had.

    Some things are binary-blobs + NDAs and many things are still locked, the OSS community can only do so much before they hit the commercial roadblocks.

    We need a complete CoreBoot + OSS silicon-chips + OSS firmware + all-community / all-commercial dual production lines.

    The open-source-based company should be able to sell both the commercial locked-version and the oss-all-unlocked-version with the ability to switch infinitely between the two models.

    But the world of electronics rarely will ever work or reach that level of interoperability , repairability or recycling this way. Not for a long time maybe in some distant future.

    Nobody is going to actually care about this except as a gossip item.

    Did he use Campaign finances to pay for things ? Did he break the law by misusing and mis-appropriating funds ? Has he done money laundering ?

    And most important of all, IS HE GOING TO SPEND TIME IN JAIL FOR ALL HIS CRIMES ?

    If its “Rules for thee and not for me” most people are not going to care. They will want to set the world on fire and watch it all burn to the ground.

    I hope no one wants to know the private going on of these kinds of deranged people. If they do the crime, they must do the time. Sadly it is rich-get-out-of-jail-free card at play.



  • It is important to stay on message and also to do a bit of attack-dog name-calling.

    Totally correct for Kamala to do both.

    Drumpf is a sad old filthy-rich loser egotist smoocher criminal who never should have been allowed even 10-feet to the Oval Office.

    DO NOT F.A.F.O. this election Kamala and the DNC.

    It is so vital and crucial to keep campaigning and doing things right.

    If you F.A.F.O. kiss goodbye to EVERYTHING. You WILL BEAR THE BLAME.


  • Now it is up to Kamala and the DNC to hold their promises and keep fighting till election day.

    1. Keep campaigning in key rust-belt states.

    2. Stay on message.

    3. Pass as many executive orders to be finalized after Jan 6 2025.

    4. Keep fighting for the middle-class families and get people like Bernie Sanders and Katie Porter and Tammy Duckworth to front-run every possible middle-class campaign and draft bills for congress, house and senate.

    DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSIES OR SIT BACK IDLY!

    Get Elected and then do whatever PR statement, controversy, bs etc.


  • So, since this is related to your course and a required part of assignments, get things in writing,

    1. Let the Dorm and ISP know that you need an exception due to coursework.

    2. It might be in your best interest to temporarily invest in your own internet,I think 5G might have low enough latency to manage the connection.

    If all this is for one semester until you move back ? Just get a cheap mini-PC install pfSense or any other firewall/router software to isolate all your devices and Wifi router from the rest of the network. I believe some people have mentioned MAC-spoofing and TTL-reset as ways to bypass detection. And if anyone asks, you can show your written communications and your course requirements.

    Always be on the safe side when it comes to dealing with academics and private orgs.

    There might be a Dept Counselor or Rep you can discuss about your requirements. Even professors can help with some of these kind of things.

    Mighty unpopular opinion here.

    OP you are there at the Uni to learn to grow and pass the course+exams. If you need to do extracurricular activities, please setup time at home, travel home to do those things.

    If home is faraway and you still want to do it, find a reliable off-campus-non-dorm location and do your stuff from there.

    Your main objective is to get through Uni without falling behind and managing your time and effort wisely. If you fail Uni because you focused too much on non-essential activities, be a responsible adult and accept the results of your adult decisions.

    Edit: I never said that OP shouldn’t do non-Uni activities. Just that time+effort has to be MANAGED between the two. Life isnt fair and life doesnt give two shits if you fuck up. That is what being an adult means.

    Edit2: I can see people commenting on Universities imposing mandatory dorm fees. Do you people not choose which university to apply and get accepted? Did you not think…“this uni is very strict, or this uni has a lot of on-campus resources, or this uni has great course-materials, etc etc” … and it would also include “this uni dorm is optional/mandatory and I can live there cheap or live outside expensive or it is bum-ducking nowhere but fields/forests/wilderness” … you did choose that uni to attend and paid up ?



  • A lot of Unis have IT on a shoestring budget.Especially the CompSci dept have the most idiotic IT “professionals” working there.

    Usually it is the Sciences dept like Mech-E or Tech-E or Elec-E who run massive Compute nodes for Rendering Physics or Fluid dynamics or something something research …

    Unfortunately, the Unis that have massive student dorms on-campus tend not to isolate their networks properly and allow students to directly connect to all depts Networks without any barriers. The isolation happens between LAN and Internet which is where most of the controls and filtering happens.

    It would be nice if each dept had their own VPN servers and proper network isolation at the LAN instead of the crazy monkey wiring everything to everything else on-campus.
