Calibri kind of sucks, it’s better on screen then TNR, but it’s ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But:

Rubio did admit in the memo that Calibri wasn’t the “most illegal, immoral, radical or wasteful” example of DEI to his mind’s eye, but he still berated the font for contributing to “the degradation” of the State Department’s official correspondence.

Fuck this guy, regardless.

You could do that, but I could argue that master/slave nomenclature isnt a good scheme for this anyway, since it doesn’t control any other branches. Unlike master and slave drives from the olden days.

By all means go ahead and keep your naming schemes. It’s your own stuff that after all, that for some reason you felt the need to tell everyone about. However, I might recommend trying to move past it seeing as language has an impact on how people think, and being edgy doesn’t exactly have a good track record of producing the best people.

I brought a laptop from 2003 back from the stone ages. It runs surprisingly well, is up to date, and only really struggles with web stuff because of the state of things.

Antix linux running on 2GB ram, Pentium m 1.4GHz, and an SSD in an IDE enclosure. Uses about 200mb of ram. As far as being functional, the screen is small and low res, and it doesn’t do these newfangled video formats. But if you consider 90% of my work life is in spreadsheets and documents and low resource applications, it really could be just fine. I’m not saying I would enjoy it if it was all I had to use, but I could if I needed to.

Open source developers are just like you and me. They’ll get fed up with the bullshit and start developing things they need with the resources they have, just like they’ve always done.

Rpis are great for always on things with low power use but not if you have many low power use things. But you would really be feeling that 1GB of ram, and microSDs kind of suck to run off of. I would honestly save the $25 and put it toward one of the $100 tiny/mini/micros.

I would not steer you away from an RPI if you don’t have one, they are very useful and fun, but if you’re looking for learning about self hosting, you’re probably going to end up getting something more powerful anyway

The Le Potato AML-S905X-CC has h.264 and h.265 decoders up to 4k, emmc connector So you don’t have to run off an SD card. I’ve used it as a media player and its pretty damn solid. I can’t speak to streaming games because I don’t do that, so I don’t know if it’s a different format. It does not have a powerful processor, so if the stream is encoded differently I wouldn’t expect it to be very good.

Its pretty old, around rpi3 performance, but having the decoders in there make it better than the RPI 4 for playing those types of videos.

Ah, but you see, they don’t do it now.

Seriously, the number of tunnels they cut off in as soon as a call comes in is astounding.

OK, but what about the lab coat?

Oh, I agree, but I have to argue enough with professionals who know better as it is. I have to do it every day with recent PhDs as a BA who’s been doing the job for 15 years. At this point it’s not my problem if something happens. I have other things that affect me every day to fight about. I’ll just continue cycling through my no repeats after 10 changes, 12 character passwords and using my yubikey for docusign for my own sanity.

K, I’ll go tell the CEO that they need to come up with something different.

I’ve found a pretty good use for a passkey. Docusign. About every 3 months I need to docusign something at work. The process involves logging in, changing your password, logging in again, opening the document, logging in to sign, logging in to finish. The only steps you get to skip if there’s more than one document is the initial log on, and changing password. So with a passkey I just touch it a bunch of times and there’s no password change.

Jokes on you, I’m upgrading my IBM x31. No one in their right mind wants DDR pc2100 ram.

For me, unattended-upgrade does it’s thing. Updating other packages happens whenever I think about it. Very few things are not containerized and there’s very little added beyond the base Debian install, so when I do update its maybe a dozen packages.

I would previously reboot during thunderstorms if we lost power, but now that I’ve got a UPS I probably ought to come up with a different plan.

Hmm, 3tb to mirror all the architectures I have around is very tempting. I have an unused dual bay external, and another one that desperately needs (wants) to have its 4tb drives upgraded.

Having just dealt with something similar from Linux to windows, I’m 97% sure this is the cause. Mine was a “same file name” issue because capitalization.

Also, it could be a temp file or hidden file that’s created by a program, like the recovery files made by libreoffice/word. They sometimes use weird characters.

Ain’t that his hoodie?

“Trying some things”

Then you end up liking what you slapped together with jank and a prayer to the temporary work-around and now there’s a new prod server!

He looks like someone in a cult. Wide open eyes, thousand yard stare, not mentally in the same universe as the rest of the world.
