And you finally get to jump


I hear that the US has oil and WMDs


Id love to believe this is to weed out the bad applicants.
People that answer “lol, I just want a job” actually get the interviews


Um, akshually it’s a DNS issue not a router issue.
I think.
It looks like a router issue. But it’s always a DNS issue


I installed endeavouros on my windows laptop.
The installer guided me through the partitioning, setting up systemd-boot, and it was all great.
I had to disable bitlocker in windows (not that bothered about) and secure boot in bios (also not that bothered about).
Ran smoothly dual booting both for about 4 months.
Then a windows update hit, and fucked the boot.
Thankfully, this is a common enough thing that there are plenty of tutorials out there.
A liveUSB of endeavouros, some tinkering, and I was back up and running.
The cause seems to be FastBoot, where windows keeps the boot partition mounted. What I think happens is that bios tries to read the boot partition, which is configured/loaded for windows (because it never cleaned up after itself due to FastBoot being on) and boots into windows.
Since turning off FastBoot, I haven’t had any issues in the past 8 months.


Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!


Oh look, fediverse is still working.
You can share in the smug grin


I’ll trade you your gold for my petty insults


But they felt it. The whole building. Felt it.
And the clapped until their hands bled.


Maybe it’s about redaction of the files
And yet, there is an entire world out there. With people from all countries that are dealing with sash and case windows, restricted opening windows, or windows that don’t open at all.
The “ever” is maybe stretching it.
I think it can survive the occasional mis-opening. But I wouldn’t do it regularly, not leave it like that for a day.
Like “yeh, you’ve fucked up but I’m fine for now. Please fix me and never do it again” kinda scenario
I feel like it’s a “can survive, but please fix quickly” kinda scenario.
I have no doubt the mechanism can support it. But used regularly will likely break something (where the entire fucking window falls into your room)
1st position detent = tilt (small opening).
2nd position detent = door (big opening).
I get that “horizontal handle = door” kinda makes sense… But doesn’t feel intuitive to me


Maybe Ukraine couldn’t retake the areas occupied by Russia, but they could deliver a Pyrrhic blow to Kremlin.
They have delivered a pyrrhic victory.
Russia thought they could take Kyiv (Ukraine?) on 3 days.
The fact that Ukraine has resisted so hard, have redefined the modern battlefield, have conducted huge deep strikes…
Ukraine is winning.
The reason Ukraine may not be “winning” is because the Russian war machine is huge. Like really really big.
The reason that Ukraine is “winning” is because the Russian war machine is outdated and corrupt.
The western opinion of Russia has been devastated. Russia tested themselves, and failed.
Russia is holding on by their nukes.


A NAS as bare metal makes sense.
It can then correctly interact with the raw disks.
You could pass an entire HBA card through to a VM, but I feel like it should be horses for courses.
Let a storage device be a storage device, and let a hypervisor be a hypervisor.
There is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.
The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.
It’s had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.
The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.
