Got a source on how they hid the body? It’s very not cool if that’s what was done. I know the Nazis are trying to turn him into a martyr, and having the body both to hide from the investigation and to make it mysterious so they can tell any lies they like is classic.
Ich auch!
We moved to Germany a few weeks ago (well… moved to Berlin). Immersion here is sorta immersion.
I read some new children’s books. Spent time translating government documents (the never ending array of government documents). Learned a few new words in conversation and got a bit better at people’s names.
Deutsch jeden tag!
It should just be that the government doesn’t patrol the high seas, of course! Every ship should enter into personal 1-on-1 contracts with each pirate for a market appropriate rate to ensure they don’t get attacked. The Libertrian way won’t cause any issues of scale, rampant loss of merchant ships, and an eventual ending of all oceangoing shipping outside of the handful of ships that can afford their own navies to escort them… /s
Come to the Open Source community for ideology, stay for the better life. It’s a learning curve to get in. After that it’ll open more doors and be much more relaxing to run OSS operating environments than you think.
The real fun is when you’ve been on Linux for a few years and are forced to do some tasks on a Windows machine. It’s amazing how bad the Windows UI and tooling is, but it’s hard to see until you can look with some perspective.
I usually start a desktop on Mint since it’s got at least some new drivers and a few more tools with Cinnamon desktop.
If the hardware is finicky or there’s odd devices a distro doesn’t handle, I often just try a different distro instead of driver hacking. It’s a very big hammer, but I’d rather have things work with the distro configs instead of maintaining it myself.
Servers? Debian.
Desktops? Mint (prettier Debian out of the box)
Otherwise? Use what works with the least effort.
Since 1998, baby! Found my RedHat 3.0.3 install CD recently. It’s been such a long road, but it keeps getting better.
I haven’t had broadcast or cable TV for at least a decade now. The major news/media outlets hold very little interest given their approach to generally being informative in any serious way. So, no, our household doesn’t watch TV.
There it is. Thank you for the great summary of the tautology that is reveleation-based religion. In the end, it all boils down to a presup argument with no basis and dries up under even a modicum of analysis.
That’s the Fox News (or similar) pus leaking out of OP’s head. Up until that line they were sorta on a basic “I don’t understand why people value reason over superstition” track, but then veered into crazyland.
They may or may not be used here. You could use LLMs to parse the content of sites being visited by web clients on your network. Then, ask the LLM whether the content includes certain topics or is work related. Based on the results of that, you add/remove the site from a blacklist.
Is this better than just string matching? I would say likely so, though more stochastic in the results. It would let the LLM provide summaries/context of the pages, and not by just confined to specific strings in a list. It might be better ramble to handle context and complexity of the desired outcomes.
For example, there was a paleontology conference at a hotel once that was stuck behind a firewall blacklisting all sites with the string ‘bone’ in them. Completely ridiculous. The string ‘bone’ has different meanings based upon context, which simple string matching cannot provide, but an LLM might be better and identifying and acting accordingly.
America is owned and operated by rich people. They couldn’t make money running passenger trains so once we were ordered to invest in car-only infrastructure the trains were mostly disbanded and shut down. There’s a ghost of a system left with just a few corridors that could be considered bare minimum service in a developed nation.
How many kilometers of high speed rail does the US have? Zero. We have some that gets close, but not really.
My mid-sized city has two trains per day, one each direction, and they both leave between 1am and 2am. In Germany you would have 30+ trains per day in a city this size, likely a notable S-Bahn network, and also some trams and/or U-Bahns in the city to compliment busses. I’ve got busses in town, but they operated about every 30-45 minutes each, with evening service being every 60 minutes. Here’s the fun part: our busses are the most used public transit system for a mid-sized city in the US right now and it’s still pathetic when compared to even basic services in Europe.
DB needs to keep getting investment. Germany must get to a dedicated passenger rail network to separate out the freight trains. DB should also be re-nationalized and operated as a national service, not a for profit system that will inevitably fail as a commercial venture, leading to yet more terrible service. Here’s hoping the latest German Parliament follows through on investment money that they pushed through at the start of the year! Also, keep the Deutschland Karte! That’s such a great resource for everyone.
My city has two trains per day: one each way. They leave at 1am and 2am. The US train system is hilariously bad.
I know that DB in Germany is horrible compared to the rest of Europe, but at least it has trains that run during daylight hours!
Costco polish dog (from the freezer aisle, since they stopped selling the real ones at the counter). Mustard, catsup. That’ll do great. Oh, but make sure to grill it! Yeah, now I’m hungry.
Sample size: 1
That’ll do! Let’s hit the pub.
According to one of our adjuncts: “Windows just works for dev, why are we teaching Linux at all?”
He didn’t last.
It’s not a conservative’s problem until it effects them personally. By then it’s usually too late, but at least they feel bad about that one issue for a while.
I did the same thing with the Linux machine there, but we got it up and running with a sweet potato using a patch set for the kernel and cross compiling it from the basic potato release. We did find the drivers for the VGA card we salvaged from a scrap pile too! Got it up to the full 640x480 supported by the card.
You could say it was a sweet setup.
Awesome follow through. Thank you.
