  • The idea is to have four stacks of cards at the top. One for each suit, ace thru king. Once you get that you win.

    You can move cards around the bottom by stacking them in descending order (King thru 2), in alternating colors (red, black).

    You can move multiple cards to a new stack if it’s suitable.

    You can turn the upside down cards on the bottom once there are no face-up cards covering them.

    When the bottom stacks are empty, you can start a new stack in that spot, but only with a King.

    The draw pile at the top is where the different sets of rules come into play…some people draw 1 at a time, some draw three at a time. Some people also play with a limit of how many times you can loop through the draw pile.

    There’s also a scoring system but that’s unimportant for most people unless they really care. After all, solitaire is a one player game.





  • Ah if you want to use it on their website or in a browser you’ll probably also need a mini card driver like OpenSC.

    And if you’re using firefox, you might have to go into settings to add a pkcs provider and tell it where opensc-pkcs11.so is.

    There’s lots of generic info out there on smartcards in Linux if you were so inclined to “figure it out”…but I don’t blame them for not “supporting” Linux…that’s kind of a minefield.

    Still, that’s the fun of Linux…realizing that “not supported” doesn’t mean it won’t work…just that they won’t help you.




  • I’m doing my part.

    I set up bazzite in a VM and passed my GPU thru it.

    Now I’ve got a nuc clone in my office with bazzite on it as well and it’s just a moonlight client. But it’s silent. Or damn close. The GPU is two floors away, I hear nothing!

    That was two separate downloads, too…Nvidia-gnone and gnome-standard.

    I was on Nobara a couple months ago and liked it…but a colleague piqued my interest on immutable distros and now here I am.






  • Yeah but police follow the money until it gets too hard to pull people in (or someone on the force is protecting them).

    So usually they just take your basic B&Es and corner street dealers and shoplifters and leave it at that.

    Nobody ever asked why the criminals chose a life of crime.

    Nobody goes after the employers that are paying slave wages, training employees how to sign up for welfare, or getting their employees to work off the clock.

    The welfare one especially. People get mad at welfare recipients and not the people that put them in that position. Welfare is subsidizing the Walton’s more than anything. They could afford to pay their employees a living wage, but why would they when they can pay the minimum and working-class taxpayers can pay for the rest. Dumbass redcaps should be shunning Walmart, not sucking its proverbial dick.


  • I had to rent a car from Enterprise during a mild snowstorm.

    I picked it up the night before and brought it home (work paid for the rental, I didn’t want to put miles on my car).

    They had filled up the wiper fluid with water, so my wipers wouldn’t work. Frozen solid.

    Swung by the rental agency on the way to my trip to complain and swap out the car.

    Next car was fine for like 30 minutes but then it stopped working again. Frozen solid.

    I guess some idiot decided to top up all the cars with water. Which doesn’t work so well in the wintertime.

    ETA: for those who don’t know driving in the snow…you often need wiper fluid. Especially when the road has a mist of salty, sandy water on it from melted snow + sand/salt trucks.
