Fascism

· Misc

The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power "under the guise of 'super-patriotism' and 'super-Americanism.'" And they would use three techniques:

First, they would pit religious, racial, and economic groups against one another to break down national unity. Part of that effort to divide and conquer would be a "well-planned 'hate campaign' against minority races, religions, and other groups."

Designing an (unofficial) transit map

I've blogged about it before.

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

Bookworm: eth0 -> enX0

· Linux, Networking, Software

Started updating my Debian systems from Bullseye to Bookworm.

The first thing I noticed was that ethX renamed to enXY.

To get back to the old naming scheme, you can fix this by adding the following in /etc/network/interfaces:

rename enX0=eth0
rename enX1=eth1

And reboot.
