it makes you sign in to see it hahaha

i think if you ask that question, itll result in abolishing the minimum wage, in the usa anyway

does stapler really mean forklift, and lager really mean storage, in german?

i get a lot of simpsons pictures in the image results for some rsn

basically youre asking the ai to generate chunks, then check those chunks. it might work

edit: sorry i didnt provide a soln

if this isnt a troll, then you are one of a dying (pretty much never existed) breed

burning dvds or copying vhs tapes made sense years ago bc you needed a converter to plug your computer into a tv, and the quality was iffy. now most machines and tvs are compatible with hdmi, so going from digital to physical is like printing a mapquest route and taking a picture of it with your phone

i have no idea what to think about this, but im in favor of crazy new ideas and directions. will this be good?

does nobody else notice this is absolutely and obviously an ai generated image?

not to say that wal-mart is helping anyone at all. but this was clearly designed to spark outrage.

thanks so much for the coaching!

okay i got it now.

was something wrong with the mirror i was using? if so, is there some way to know if i have a “lesser” mirror? or was the arch linux world just going thru a major update today and i had to wait it out?

so… i did another reflector refresh and then did an Syyu. Now this is happening…

this is with the mirrorlist shown in the picture below. not sure why i’d be getting almost 3 gigs of updates right now. i’ve been updating this and using this machine daily for months on this installation. when that is complete i’ll try for python-polib again.

about 15 ruby packages got replaced with extra/ruby just now too.

pacman -Qi python | grep Architecture yields Architecture : x86_64

yep, dns points me to 108.61.5.83 and i can get there by hostname and address thru the browser. i spun up a new live arch session i built with archiso. still can’t get a hit thru pacman tho. really can’t explain it.

absolutely. i’ve tried this on two x86 systems as well, my desktop and laptop. if there’s no quick fix or obvious problem, i’m not above doing a full reinstall to fix this.

i’ll spin up a vm to test too

no luck. still getting: error: target not found: python-polib

giving this a try: sudo reflector --latest 10 --protocol https --country 'United States' --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

i was too young to get disappointed by the lionhead hype. have very fond memories of b&w and fable

When I use just the wget aspect of the command, it dumps a bunch of jargon to my terminal, so I think that means I have the “stdout” aspect of that command right.
