Probably Achaea, that’s an Iron Realms game, good choice. I haven’t played a lot of MUDs but Iron Realms made the better ones that I have played. I liked Starmourn quite a lot but it seems not many other people did because it’s gone legacy mode now.

Achaea is still up and running if you want to go log in again.

Hey, I was working on the same problem the other day and maybe you can help me with it a bit further. If you don’t mind.

I like to run gotop on my second monitor so I can watch my system resources, and normally I just open a terminal window and type gotop and it runs and stays open and continually updates. I’ve made this command into a shell script to run at startup. Using this script presumably halfway works, because a terminal window shows up, but it tells me “the child process exited normally with status 127.” and prompts for relaunch (which does nothing except present the same message again).

Now the internet tells me that 127 generally means “command not found” which doesn’t really make sense to me because gotop is in my PATH and can be run normally without any kind of special arguments or location if I pop open a terminal and do it myself. So I’m not really sure where the problem lies. The script in question is currently parked on my desktop and when I run it manually, when logged in and everything, nothing changes except that I also get an additional terminal window that states the child process exited normally with status 0.

I’m brand new to both Linux and shell scripting so I barely have any idea what I’m doing here, I’ve gathered through individual research that I should also have a line starting the file with #! /bin/bash but I’m not actually even too confident about that part. Currently the entire script reads as follows:

#! /bin/bash gnome-terminal -- sh -c gotop

I’ve tried with and without quotes on gotop and I’ve tried with and without the hashbang and none of the four options have given me different results, which makes me think I’m barking at the wrong tree. I have made the script executable so I don’t think that’s the problem.

O wise one, please bestow upon the poor noob your knowledge. (This request is also open to other wise ones who may be passing by.)

Meanwhile I’m trying to get diagnosed as an adult but because I got good grades as a kid and didn’t actively commit crimes all the time I’m being told that it’s impossible that I have ADHD

It’s so frustrating

You ever had Cornerhounds in your walls? Trust me, it’s worth the tear down and rebuild.

But they do make a good melee weapon in a pinch

Alright there Mr The Expanse

Yeah that fork gets washed between uses. The water comes right out of the pipe. Most people would immediately vom if they saw inside their water supply pipes.

Martin Luther King Jr was able to succeed with his peaceful protests because the threat of Malcolm X was looming directly over his shoulder. One requires the other. Either of them alone would not have made nearly the progress they did.

Ah, fuck

I’ve met a couple hackers and their polycules, this probably already exists irl

Wouldn’t this be very easy to defeat with just a star chart? If they were also able to remove stars from view, sure, I might get where you’re going with this. But adding extra stars? That’s just noise that can be ignored if you know what the stars are supposed to look like. Match up existing stars with yesterday’s chart and anything that doesn’t appear on the chart is discarded.

My contact in my fiancé’s phone is still labeled “[Name]'s Brother” lmao, we first met at my brother’s dnd game

If he drives that mountain with any regularity there’s a high chance that truck is upside down in a ravine by now

Wa wouldn’t do his tennis bro dirty like that.

My money is on that little shit Bowser Jr

Given the attitude on display here I’m not convinced that was a bad thing. People are in here trying to give you legitimate life saving advice and you’re telling them all to go fuck themselves. Gun ownership is not for everyone. Hell I’d argue it’s not for most people. That’s why I don’t own one, but I know how to use them and I’m very up to speed on firearm safety.

First guy was being an asshole but had one good point about training, because the majority of gun owners have a rifle or a pistol locked in a closet and they’ve never fired a round out of it. That is a recipe for disaster in one of several ways.

It’s not my place to insist that you shouldn’t have a firearm, and I’m not going to do so. I will say that your attitude surrounding the subject has been very poor and alarming. A simple “I know what I’m doing, thanks” would have sufficed but instead when faced with well meaning advice your response is to immediately start calling everyone names and telling them to go fuck themselves. If someone in my community had a firearm and this attitude alongside it I would feel extremely unsafe around them.

I also admit that when responded to in such a manner I also became a bit of a jackass and you have my apology for that. I shouldn’t have taken the bait. But this whole exchange has not been a good look for you. I’m not going to press this any further though.

Truly an appropriate attitude for the owner of an unsecured firearm

I bought it so it can sit in the rear window of my truck and make me look tough, obviously. get stolen out of my truck and used in a crime that is then traced back to me

This is really important knowledge to know about yourself. I wish more people were this self aware.

But a war requires a lot more than just soldiers. Even if we end up in a hot shooting Civil War 2 there are still many things you and other nonviolent folks could do for your fellows to keep them safe. Safe shelter and food mean even more than guns and bullets in a conflict like that.

I hope with every bit of my heart that we don’t have to go there. But if we do, you are not useless. Soldiers may fight a war, but logistics wins one. And in this hypothetical situation a lot of us are going to be very charged up with hot tempers and someone with a cooler head and an aversion to violence will be important to keep things from falling to chaos.

Don’t sell yourself short, Squid. A coward with a good head on them is a good person to have on your side in a fight. A coward knows how to prevent that fight that might not have been otherwise necessary.

He is 100% a jackass but in this particular point he is right. Please learn and practice with your rifle. Untrained gun owners are a huge danger to themselves and others and they usually don’t realize it. And owning a gun doesn’t do you any good if it gets taken out of your hands in the first 5 seconds of an altercation.

For your safety and others this is actually legitimately good advice.
