Wow. I’ve never considered why we don’t do this and it’s amazing it works out to such a beautiful metaphor.

Was thinking similar. I just got through setting up a 4x1TB SSD RAID.

Yeah, I figured all the parts talking about losing files were jokes. All the new guys know about unrm. Also useful is ssh root@[remote] unshutdown

If you have the opportunity to treat $100 as ephemeral, I recommend it. I’ve never kept track of money loaned to friends. If I get it back, nice, but otherwise, I was just helping a friend.

It’s worth noting, I’m not friends with grifters.

The actual solution is something like Jellyfin where you stream your whole organized music library using a browser and public access to your home network, but that takes months to learn and weeks to configure if it’s your first time doing it, and you likely won’t have a DRM-free collection to seed with, so it’s also a significant cost investment if you want to respect the artist.

That also wouldn’t make for an easy article.

When my previous relationship ended, it just instantly called to me. Knowing that I suddenly didn’t have anyone keeping me where I was, it wasn’t even a day before I knew I wanted to move.

I spent 3 years saving and preparing and making sure it was the right place to go, but never doubted it for a second. Made the right move, too. Happier and more confident than I’ve ever been before.

Orochi in Okami. You spend the first entire third of the game building up to your first fight with him and by the time you’re fighting him, you have an incredible amount of context for how legendary your battle actually is.

Many of the boss battles in that game had amazing lead-up.

I always get annoyed at people jump on all the justifications about how just handing someone a house isn’t enough to set these people’s lives right, and I’m like, “Right. ‘Cause the street will definitely help themselves get back on track. That lack of shelter is an attitude problem.”

Same. Mint was at the start too, though.

Doesn’t look like anything to me

Someone taught me on this site a while back that his visor isn’t a mirror or a filter. I had questioned why they didn’t heat up and they explained that it’s apparently a straight-up portal that sends the energy to another dimension. Wild stuff.

This is actually really cool. Little bit of good news for the day. Thanks.

I used awk for the first time today to find all the MD5 sums that matched an old file I had to get rid of. Still have no idea what awk was needed for. 😅 All my programming skill is in Python. Linux syntax is a weak point of mine.

I needed an SD card for a new recorder I picked up and only probably needed a 32GB. Smallest option at the store was 128 for $25 and $30 for 256. I went with the 256 just because I could.

Storage is practically free these days. I’m sure you could find an eBay listing for like 100 of the cheap ones for $10.

I work with customer art for my job. And every time someone brings in AI art for their project, it just tells me they don’t respect artists. I usually put a lot less effort into their orders.

It also usually doesn’t have any personality.

I can’t speak to mail/cloud providers, but a big difference between 99% of open source software and proprietary software is that updates are manually installed by the user.

In theory, this allows the user the opportunity to read the new source before installation to verify it isn’t malicious or to check for any known compatibility issues or bugs.

For instance, “stable” Linux distros are not stable in terms of not crashing, but stable in the sense that functionality will not update and only security patches are applied. But the user always gets to choose when that happens.

I dunno. I feel like the fact that it’s able to reliably simulate 10^[1] particles in realtime since the beginning of time, I’d guess it’s not running on Windows at least. But I also have a hard time it’s Linux because someone would always be messing with things and it would have needed to reboot for some reason or another about 6 or 7 times. Maybe the 7 days God spent building Earth was just time spent on building the server config lol.

I just don’t see the effort paying off here in taking what was already antiquated hardware when it was produced and making it work now just because it exists.

I take it you don’t know the Linux community very well. One of the most common uses I see is getting use out of outdated hardware.
