You could set up Parsec with 2fa to access a node on your home network.

But you really don’t want anything public facing, and even if you did, it should be on a different VLAN.

But, why?

Hell yes. Final Fantasy 6. Fallout 1 & 2. Just a couple off the top of my head. This question is weird.

I prefer “meat proxy”.

The police are prosecution. They claim they don’t have quotas, but with any job, there are unsaid quotas.

I worked in IT help desk, and I was told our department wasn’t opening and closing enough tickets to justify our department’s existence. So I changed the sensitivity of our network monitoring system for our SDWAN and wrote a script that would automatically create a ticket and close it pretty much if a single packet was lost. I was hailed a hero as the bean counter CTO wasn’t going to review the actual tickets, but he got the metrics he needed for the meeting.

This kept a team of 14 quality support technicians employed. This stupid trick I rolled out over a weekend kept families fed for a good five years, delaying the inevitable layoff.

And we all found better jobs and left at our own pace.

But I digress, it isn’t like the police work on commission (eh… well drugs disappear… and bribery and extortion exist…) but if you aren’t writing tickets, then the prosecutor is going to bitch because they aren’t handling enough tickets to justify the department of prosecution.

So cops will look for any packet loss. Registration is said lost packet. The same for insurance, any discrepancy in your license, and if your license plate isn’t perfectly mounted on your vehicle. Just fucking anything.

You have insurance but don’t have the latest card on you? They will write a ticket. You take the insurance card to the county clerk and they throw the ticket out and cancel the court date. Makes no difference to the cop, as it boosted his KPI.

“Yay, I am halping! Pay me!” Oh, how the bureaus will burrow.

You know, it depends. I went into a bar and the female bartender carded me. I would have gauged her at 50+. She was amazed I was three years older than her.

She was 38.

And on dating sites, I see women who at least claim to be a couple of years younger than me, but definitely look mid-fifties, some I get like, “you look like you could pass as my mom” vibes.

Knock Knock

“Who’s there?”

Impatient cow

“Impatient cow-”

Moo!

A fat chance means the odds are so wide it would be impossible. Like, you have so many slim chances at once on different factors for it to remotely work.

A slim chance means the odds are tight but there is an actual chance on a single factor.

One slim chance is better than 40 slim chances focused on a single goal, so fat chance.

When I use slim chance, I actually will try it if it isn’t going to work and it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Fat chance means you shouldn’t bother to try it. The stars would have to perfectly align.

Doom. Meh. Pointless. Not practical.

Now, running Doom from a database and acheiving 30 fps, now that’s impressive. Installing linux on your car’s computer, very impressive. Doom on your car’s computer?

Well good job lowering the resale value. I pray they got the bluetooth and GPS to work.

And you are correct, and to add to it, your formatting information also takes up space. But your point is far more pertinent.

It isn’t like it makes me cool. I was talking about how I enjoy making shit.

And I don’t fucking care about downvotes. I can’t cash in internet points. God, the voting system which Reddit and Digg used was supposed to be for relevancy, not about if you agreed or not.

I don’t know you, and outside of the respect of general life, I don’t give a fuck what some random person on the internet thinks of me. In fact, I don’t want you to know me.

However, if you met me, you would get a solid realization that text is a terrible form of communication.

You cannot see the tone of my voice. You cannot hear the look on my face. You cannot feel my energy without a handshake.

I don’t like toxicity over the fact that all I said was it isn’t practical to install Doom on your car.

But you can hate me all you want. Don’t know why you specifically just want to rage on the internet as if this means a single thing to your life.

The newspaper will come out after I am dead and I will not be mentioned.

We have 8 billion people on this planet who want to judge me, so I won’t bother with doing your “job”.

But I think if you did know me, you might be kinder and recognize I am not an asshole.

I am a prick, and that is fair. Assholes get fucked. So… get fucked. I have to go to work.

And an mp3 player, where you start with a personally designed pcb, solder on the components, design the core logic, write the code, attach an LCD, and print an enclosure. Meh? You build one.

You’re so meh, I bet you think this comment is about you. You’re so meh! Don’t you, don’t you, dooon’t you!

No, I said was asking why the hell they would install Doom. That’s why I was being a prick. Look through my comments: you will see me talk up the achievements repeatedly.

But of all things to install on it? Doom. Not an anti-flock GPS app, or VLC. Nope, Doom. That’s what I mocked.

Why are people just being assholes? I thought we were talking about computers?

So which is it:

Am I a prick because I said that they loaded Linux onto a car’s computer and they installed Doom, which is impractical, but certainly a cool feat to get Linux on there.

But Doom? You can’t shoot imps while you are driving.

You’re rocking a 5090? You doing video work? Mining?

What an ironically meh comment. Did you work on that all night?

Oh no, it sucks, because now I am management. But I do get to design new solutions: that part is pretty dope.

It is just a pain in the ass to get a proper budget.

Dude, J said it was cool.

Sorry, were we wanting to talk about computers? Because you are simply just being toxic. Go touch grass.

No.

Yup. You won.

I know it isn’t. But it is a necessary step. And you should know that as well.

The cool part is that they figured out how to interface with it.

Why is everyone just trying to be the bigger asshole? Are you just begging for it because you think I am the biggest prick?

You can run Doom on a fridge. I am not saying the feat isn’t admirable. I bet it was tough to get Doom to run on a C64. That’s very cool, as is the achievement that this post is about.

I don’t understand the itch in your ass.

No, I didn’t. That shit won’t run Crysis.

Stop being a dick. You are projecting your dickness onto me.

Not really? So OP compiled the Linux kernel to the chip architecture, which was the real feat, and that is admirable, and then played Doom. Cool!

Cool, man. I am getting heat because I am asking what they would do with it, as running a custom OS on your damn death machine is alone dangerous, but let’s test it out by playing the most opened source and well optimized code on the fucking planet… that is the predessor to the real grandpa of FPS… on your fucking car screen… hold up: what is the make, model, year, bluetooth adapter hardware ID or at least which chipset, the wifi chipset, the video chipset, how were each of these compiled to… hold up, what is the CPU used in this year, make, and model of car?

One of these days, people are going to figure out why I said what I said. Not holding my breath.

Edit: to be VERY clear, the structure of the comment was to literally mock you.

Just didn’t want you to assume that I don’t know how to write. And I am not upset. Just being sardonic.
