We also don’t do this, because it will lead to people agreeing to be killed for money. Also you’d need everybody involved to undergo a mental evaluation. We wouldn’t want manipulable people bring killed for sport. Because let’s not kid ourselves, that would absolutely happen. And so we just don’t allow it at all.

Who owns a drill and a saw, but not a simple set of bits? I’ve never encountered a screw from Ikea that couldn’t be handled by a standard bit. It’s all Philips head and hex and only in like four sizes over all furniture.

Ugh, I loathe that soulless POS.

Even if he died, they’d Mitch McConnell him.

/proc is one of the things I keep learning about again and again. I always read about it when I don’t need it and when I would need it, I have forgotten about it.

I love this idea. We need more whimsical technology.

That’s what pizza ovens run at and it takes about 2-3 minutes for the pizza to be ready. You can also get ones that go up to 500°C.

Way back when, the observed ABAB sequence could be explained by one server using outdated data and another having the new data and visitors being round-robined to each in turn. I have investigated issues like this and this has happened. Not sure how many companies still use a setup like this, though. It’s been K8s clusters everywhere I’ve worked for many years now.

Oracle has a free tier where I run my Wireguard.

You son of a bitch, you got me.

That is really interesting. I have never read about this, so the thing about the pipes was new to me. Here’s a cutaway look into a steam locomotive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive#/media/File:Cutaway_steam_locomotive.jpg

I recreated the meme in higher quality, because the bad quality annoyed me.

The fuck it did.

I think they do this to promote their new SynthID.

Used Manjaro for a while, gave EndeavourOS a try and have been happy there for a few years now. Before that it was Ubuntu, Mint and Debian. Also had OpenBSD on my servers for many years.

Coolers are forever. Unlike men, coolers linger.

Ugh. I’ve had a teacher who wore so much perfume, it made my eyes and nose itch. But I’ve also experienced homeless people who made an entire bus unusable. It’s just both too much.

I first installed Linux in 1995, before I had a second computer where I could look for help. Compared to that experience today’s situation is paradise. So you won’t hear me complain.
