Guh, someday I am going to have to learn that bracket-based syntax (lisp?) that keeps popping up on particularly interesting projects but I can never be bothered to learn.

I love the train illustrations. I’m not sure they’re that meaningful or accurate, but OpenTTD is my jam so it earned my attention anyway. I guess healthchecks is cool too.

And RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner too. Been a rough week that we’ve lost three loved entertainers.

Part of the transition from a democratic government to an oppressive regime requires filling the military and police with only your supporters and thugs. This is all part of the plan.

Subnet routing is generally far more complex than simply installing the client. If you aren’t succeeding at one you’re likely not going to succeed at the other.

I don’t know the exact problem based on what you’ve described and I’m not going to promise I can solve it for you but I’m going to try to give you some tools you can use to help yourself a little and hopefully be able to better understand what is going wrong and that will help you understand what you can do about it. Don’t get frustrated by this issue, this is a learning experience and this is a skill you need to invest in and develop so that you’re not just blindly copy-pasting instructions from videos (which is a bad place to be)

Step 1: Figure out where your tailscale.sh actually is.

Once inconsistency I noticed in your description of what’s going on is that you’re attempting to run tailscale.sh but you’re describing a path of /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale.sh not sure if this is just a typo or what but that describes a file called deck-tailscale.sh which is not the same thing as tailscale.sh.

I think the repository you’ve downloaded based on those instructions is called deck-tailscale however a repository is a folder full of files, and tailscale.sh is ONE of those files. That repository’s name would probably be /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale/ so if you’re looking for tailscale.sh inside that repository it will be /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale/tailscale.sh. (two tailscales in the full path, one for the repo and one for the file itself)

You can verify all of these paths by using the ls <path> command, ls (that’s L and S, not IS) means “list” and is similar the dir command in Windows, it will show if the file you specify exists, or if it is a directory it will list all the contents of that directory. ls is a useful command to explore the directories and see which ones exist and which ones don’t. You can work your way up the path to see where things are going wrong, for example, if ls /home/deck/documents/github/deck-tailscale/ does not exist, try ls /home/deck/documents/github/ and if that doesn’t work try ls /home/deck/documents/ and so on

Second note: I notice your documents path is /home/deck/documents I don’t have a steam deck in front of me to check, but my Linux system has a documents folder called /home/<me>/Documents with a capital D. Paths on Linux are always case-sensitive. That means /documents is not the same thing as /Documents, which is not the same as /DOCUMENTS/ and if you attempt to use one when it’s actually the other, the file will not be found. Make sure the capitalization is correct in the whole path.

Step 2: Once you’ve located the correct path name of tailscale.sh you should be able to run it with: sudo <full-path-to-tailscale.sh>

Good luck.

It’s literally rotting people’s brains. Like people are having actual mental deficiencies and psychotic breakdowns depending on how heavily they depend on this technology. I used to think it was merely digital pollution. I’m now starting to think it’s actually worse than that, much worse.

That sounds annoying. The old FF7 is also buggy, but mostly in funny and delightful ways.

Yup, they all have trailing slashes when viewed on Lemmy, and 3/4 have trailing slashes when viewed on piefed. So only piefed actually respects what was originally typed. Lemmy adds a trailing slash when you’re adding the comment, and also adds a trailing slash when reading a comment posted that doesn’t originally have a trailing slash. Intriguing (and slightly annoying).

Very interesting I wonder what happens if I post both trailing and non-trailing options, do they both get canonized into the same format?

https://piefed.ca/ – has a trailing slash https://piefed.ca/ – does not

Thank you for having me along on this journey. I don’t really know where it’s leading, but maybe it’s about the weird software behaviors we discover on the way.

That should just be a general capitalism reminder.

Elevator music is a surprisingly profitable commercial niche. For that matter, there are always going to be soulless, insipid, overused imitations of real art that gets turned into staggering commercial success precisely because it’s bland and meaningless. “Live, love, laugh” for example.

Not everything has to have meaning and significance, but we also have the right to judge it when it should.

The problem with AI is that a lot of artists literally rely at least to some extent on the money that flows from that soulless commercial drivel, either with their eyes fully open to the situation, or by convincing themselves that it does have meaning to somebody, or just themselves if nobody else. They need to pay the bills and put food on the table and a huge source of that comes from commercial art work which has a high bar for visual impact and a very low bar for ideas or meaning.

If AI replaces the meaningless filler content of the art world, how do artists survive if that’s their bread and butter? It’s never going to directly replace real human art, but if it removes their meal ticket, the outcome will still be the same. Soon there will be almost no real human artists left, as they’ll start to become prohibitively expensive, which will drive more people to AI in a self-reinforcing feedback loop until only a handful of “masters” and a bunch of literal starving artists trying to become them without ever earning a penny. The economics of the situation are pretty dire and it’s increasingly hard to picture a future for human art that doesn’t look bleak.

I’m planning to do my part to make sure exclusively human-made art is always the choice I’m going to make and pay for, but there are bigger forces at play here than you or me and I don’t think they’re going to push things in a happy direction. The enshittification of art will happen, is already happening, and we’re just along for the ride.
