Firearms aren’t a social issue, you can’t stop people from camping in forests and using firearms as a tool for wilderness defence or folks who hunt and trap for a profession, not to mention people who live in remote locations where a Walmart is hours away opposed to minutes (I can’t confirm this last point for the US, but this is certainly a Canadian issue).
Target shooting is also recognized as an Olympic sport globally, you want to prevent teams from practicing their sport?

Debian for everything.
I think the can of worms being opened is far greater than what people expect.
Firearms are known to last over a hundred years and can be rebuilt, they don’t just magically go away when sales stop.
And as I mentioned in another comment, In the United States firearms don’t have to be registered, as far as I know this applies federally, may differ per state, how do you plan to track something with no traceability?
If I’m not mistaken, not every firearm purchased in the US is registered. How do you expect people to find these firearms without traceability?
Slams hand on the underside of the table on the first attempt.
Quick search indicates 342 million people in the United States according to their census, i tried to find the total amount of American citizens but that statistics doesn’t appear easy to find, if we divide it in half and say 171 million US citizens who all potentially own 1 maybe 2 maybe 5 maybe 10 firearms, even if the laws were to change federally at any point do you think every citizen is going to comply?
Even the Canadian government struggles confiscating firearms from licensed owners, and that’s closer to 2 million firearms now prohibited, I can’t imagine how Americans would handle it.
Bought an Asus TUF laptop back in 2020? Maybe 2021, had a Ryzen 3750H and a 1660ti, at first it was great and was an improvement from my previous laptop but unfortunately barely lasted a year before the fan bearings started to give out and made terrible sounds, even after replacing the fans they barely lasted a month before going back to the horrid noises.
The thing struggles to keep itself cool. Doesn’t matter if it’s running Debian or Windows it was horrible to do literally anything without getting frustrated.
Eventually upgraded and gave it to a buddy who didn’t have a computer, thing still sucks as a daily driver and I definitely wouldn’t trust it in a server environment. The sounds of those fans still haunt me to this day.
Why is this a long code block? Quoting would’ve likely fit the markdown more suitably.
Wow, remember seeing these guys on Tosh.0 nearly 5ish years ago, surprised the movement is still going.
Guess you won’t be making issues there for a while eh
I learned writing code for free, by looking at other code and reading online manuals.
I also learned how to play the piano by listening to people playing it and getting online sheet music for free.
Do you have a bot army that scrapes websites and repositories? Do you not give credit when credit is due? Do you poorly plagiarize work and claim it to be your own?
While I appreciate the learning aspect, the abuse of these LLM’s is blatantly clear.
Who cares?
The people who actually spent the time writing the code and documenting it, remember these LLM’s have to learn from somewhere.
A lot of repositories use the GPL license.
The GNU General Public Licenses are a series of widely used free software licenses. The GPL is a copyleft license, which means that it guarantees end users the freedom to run, study, share, or modify the software, but if you distribute a derivative work or modification, you must provide the source code to those recipients under the same or equivalent license terms — there is no requirement to publish anything to the public at large.
I doubt many LLM’s are sighting their sources or giving proper credit when they spit out code snippets.
What distro are you using? There are 3 big distro’s you need to keep in mind for, Debian, Arch and Fedora, every other distro typically bases themselves off of one of these big distro’s.
Documentation is your friend, if you’re using a Debian based distros the stress ng repository linked above has this in their documentation -
Debian packages for Ubuntu
Recent versions of stress-ng are available in the Ubuntu stress-ng ppa for various Ubuntu releases:
(run the commands below to install the package)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/stress-ng
sudo apt update
sudo apt install stress-ng
Now that is installed, they have an examples section.
Examples
Run 8 CPU stressors for 60 seconds:
stress-ng --cpu 8 --timeout 60
stress-ng: info: [184401] setting to a 1 min run per stressor
stress-ng: info: [184401] dispatching hogs: 8 cpu
stress-ng: info: [184401] skipped: 0
stress-ng: info: [184401] passed: 8: cpu (8)
stress-ng: info: [184401] failed: 0
stress-ng: info: [184401] metrics untrustworthy: 0
stress-ng: info: [184401] successful run completed in 1 min
Couple of definitions and examples that will help you along the way.
If you really need to expose something to the internet set yourself up an SSO/OIDC provider and have it sit in front of the service and have a deny-first policy in place, whitelist the known few IP’s that need to connect regularly or alternatively geoblock.
Also suggest setting up some security headers, however headers can be confusing for beginners.
Virtualize or containerize everything.
Somebody watched the backrooms recently.
Canada 2026 - Tumbler Ridge school shooting
Australia 2024 - Atlantis Beach Baptist College school shooting
Germany 2026 - Welfen-Gymnasium school shooting
France & Austria 2025 - School shootings 2 hours apart from each other
Gun control helps minimize these incidents, sure, buts is certainly not a be all end all solution. Also Canada’s Wes Stevens heads to world shooting championships without a firearm due to countries regulations.
