You’d probably get better coding advice in the comments.

I love Mint for this reason.

When my OS works well enough that I don’t even have to think about it day to day, it’s doing its job.

Why make a new area on a new engine, when you can sell an old area on an old engine?

Don’t forget more length restrictions because the copper can’t keep up.

I still don’t get why my laptop shipped with BIOS raid enabled.
It only has one drive!

There is nothing wrong with using things that “just work” when you need them to.
Same reason people buy Toyota and Honda.
My life has enough chaos to handle, without starting my day faffing with Arch for no good reason.

You take the green USB, it’s Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it’s GParted.

People apparently rub them with IPA.

I need to have a try of this, as I regularly burn through 2032s.

Awesome work, thankyou for taking the time to do this.

I too love a metal USB stick for the keychain, and my old DTSE9 could do with a refresh!

Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.

It’s only Virgin Media to my knowledge who does this.
Most of the other providers are happy for you to use anything that works properly for VDSL or FTTP.

Most FTTP providers fit an ONT that puts the connection back into an RJ45 ethernet connector.
Then you connect to the provider using PPPOE. Anything past the ONT, you can do whatever you like.

For most squishy remotes, you can disable the buttons by taking the remote apart, and putting tape on the underside of the rubber button.

You can block or disrupt communications with LEO.
But you’d need the blessing of the country’s government to pump out that much interference continuously.

I unblock ads on AVForums. And honestly, the ads are either really well targeted (because I’m probably going to buy that amplifier eventually), or random ebay stuff.

If they started serving up the generic “reduce belly fat in 2 seconds with this simple trick” with some AI generated picture, I’d re-evaluate very quicly.

At least on some smaller subs, there seems to be a suspicious amount of brand new accounts asking one question to get human answers.
It would not surprise me if reddit, or some other service, are seeding to get more LLM-able content. Of course, this might backfire if people start giving stupid answers to eff up the data.

Turns out, a lot of the problems in nixland were solved 3 decades ago with a single flag of built-in utilities.

The workload that’s starting now, is spotting bad code written by colleagues using AI, and persuading them to re-write it.

“But it works!”

‘It pulls in 15 libraries, 2 of which you need to manually install beforehand, to achieve something you can do in 5 lines using this default library’

I’m down to two 2.4GHz devices over the whole network now.

The day I can disable it entirely will be a happy one!

All pale to the satisfaction of inserting a digibeta tape.
