I’m glad in my 30 years of work I’ve never even caught a whiff of this nonsense. I’d undoubtedly heckle someone who proposed it to the point where I’d be fired. And I’d do it again.

Yeah. The blast radius for stupid is higher with more power. See: physics.

I look at redhat differently now. Thanks.

Give me ReactOS or give me … fedora.

no one buys these outlets as some kind of Fourth Estate above it all

The actual journalist organizations out there are few and far-between.

Your statement above is doubly apt. Murdoch wasn’t buying them as some kind of 4th estate either ;-)

You don’t come back from death.

If you’ve seen Narcan work, you’d change your mind.

And, very rarely, hospital trauma patients have been brought back from what’s defined as death, to life. But the timing, the on-hand staff and equipment has to be varied, be many, and be relevant. And also a lotta luck.

America will remain. There’s a chance it’ll remain as three separate countries.

This will be a VERY challenging time, if so, and the risks of Chinese loan sharks or oppressor-nation saboteurs will be very high.

But, when it’s done, we’ll all have two strong coastal nations, a brand new arctic province and a mexican state, and a central area for everyone to ship their lead, cobalt, and recyclables.

90% of Black people are Democrats.

In America, only one of the two viable parties will ever do anything for urban or non-white or non-rich people. I’m glad 90% of black people have figured this out and hope they’ll continue to support the party that fucks them around less.

I literally

This is where your argument fell apart. If it wasn’t literally, how else were you going to find the part where the candidate lied about everything? You didn’t mention using your eyes and reading comprehension, and I worry one of those wasn’t in use.

Also, there are a million better adverbs, and learning them is fun.

Define “too many”.

True story. I got a joke gift of a gallon bucket of cashews one time. I ate the whole 4L over pretty much a weekend, and got oh, so sick. I don’t remember that particular seal compromised for the avg 4 min between ejecta sessions but I admit I was a little preoccupied with my own death and begging for a swift one.

What is a bash script?

At this point in time, I need to stop you.

There’s a massively-increased risk of you being misled by someone else’s agenda without knowing it’s not the simplest and most effective solution to your problem because there’s a lot of technical stuff you may not know and can’t pick from available options based on their nuances. So:

1. find a real person you trust who knows this
2. ask them

Whatever they tell you, they’ll be able to support. Ensure you’re the one typing so you learn things, and ask every question you think of all the time.

Stop asking random strangers which solution is best, because you’re going to get a lot of short-sighted clique answers that DO NOT HELP YOU.

I’m going to mention Ansible

Oh for the love of god, don’t. Ansible is 2002 technology used in 2024. It’s so clunky and janky that I’m relieved I can get chatgpt to boilerplate my stuff and save me time actually staring at fucking YAML all day. Use Anything Else before your brain rots.

source: it’s like half my day job now and I should’ve charged more.

replicable.

As someone who spent time in OS Build/Relmgmt before security, I have a pressing desire to play the “how do you know” game, here.

The only thing is that I would want the way I’ve configured Gnome, Joplin, Thunderbird, Gnome Calendar (only for the widget), my Gnome extensions, what program is automatically opened on what workspace, etc to be saved so that it could be reproduced on another computer easily.

These sound like user settings that don’t even exist outside ~/ . Rsync is your friend. So is git, gluster, syncthing, resilio, and a good bunch of others depending on how often you want synch to occur and how much time you have to spend.

you need to fix the UUID

Don’t use UUIDs. They serve a very specific purpose, which you’re now trying to defeat (for all the right reasons).

Fix your mounts and then carry on.

With an achilles injury and a great apartment, I’m only leaving for shopping and various appointments. Why the hell else would I go out in this mess? :-D

It’s cute how they call that a War.

It’s the culling of prisoners.

Justin Trudeau could cure cancer 6 days in a row and our pseudo-aristocracy would claim he was lazy on the 7th; or probably the cause to begin with.

Polievre - if he’s still the leader of the “no tax no benefits” American party this week - has no platform other than “Trudeau sucks” and the truck-nut Flatlanders just nod their head.

Sadly, they could take the election, and our hopes for decent hospital care go from “soon” to “never, plebe”. Fucking Texans.

“gee. Ya think?!?” – everyone

I got hit in college with a virus 30 years ago; a couple dozen of us, but they couldn’t figure out the common carrier that got us all. Anyway, the damage to the vestibular system was permanent and it was a month or two before I could cope.

The brain has a vestibulo-ocular reflex that picks up when the vestibular is out. It uses the eyes and the horizon as a backup/correction to the bad data from the vestibular. Can confirm it works really well.

… except when I’m really tired, like today. Bedspins while sober, and if I look up then I’m dizzy. It’s super-great. But it works to remind me I’m over-doing it, and it usually resolves after a few days of good rest. until then, I just have to be careful lest I walk a bit like a bat-spin player.

In short, ya get used to it.
