Under direct democracy (or even representative democracy but with more levels in between) it would be at people’s disposal to try and ultimately solve anything…

I’ve done a semi-exception in the case of Xitter. I like this new name Elon chose because it brings the possiblity of playful sounds. Same goes to Xitler.

How did you get from 128 GiB of RAM, as the reported specs, to 96 VRAM ?

Not sure if this is what you’re are after, but https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot allows, among other things, to share the Ethernet-connected PC internet (with VPN if needed) as a WLAN for TVs, Phones, etc.

To make things more infuriating, Meta was found “unable” to stop or censor hate speech in many opportunities…

Not exactly sure of what “dominating” a market means, but the title is on a good point: innovation requires much more cooperation than competition. And the ‘AI race’ between nations is an antiquated mainframe pushed by media.

What people? “It’s bots all the way down, of course!”

Precisely. I was remembering someone else’s complain on a co-worker thay had. It was bad for this reason(s), and to make the situation even more infuriating they were able to sell themselves quite well. So they changed jobs, always ‘capitalizing’ on their frauds…

That’s when you start self-hosting…

Ah, that key. Keyboard. This was really scary. It did not mean as in cryptographic key, I was thinking my secure UEFI was getting more complicated now that I managed to run the stupid ‘mok’ command in the universalblue Fedora installation just last week…

Yeah, this was around the time they first released it. Back then I had issues with downloading and installing Debian, regardless of drivers. I was inexperienced, and was using Mint (ubuntu-based) already, so the UI (gtk2, mate) was a huge plus for my restricted specs (a netbook)

LMDE, Linux Mint Debian Edition was my goto for a long time.

You can have a remarkably similar experience on any distro, just enable flathub and install verified packages from there.

That’s actually a perk. Means the decryption key is not uploaded to telegram servers.

And, yes. The encryption all of the normies learnt to use for buying illegal goods while the prices were posted in wide open group chats. At least that’s how it was working in latin america with drugs.

Published in January 2025, seeing the URL, huh.

But whose bug is it? Really, Git origins have it tied to Linux development.

Case sensitivity, or the lack thereof, on a filesystem is opinionated. That’s the real issue and is not a bug.

I played that on a LOTR-themed felucca-only shard, and hosted a runUO server myself for friends later when no one was playing it anymore. Great memories, I kind of enjoyed the “blue vs. red” factions of the early game, like 1999.

The fact that black goo “eats” other life to “grow” implies that this Engineer on, according to the article, ancient planet Earth wasn’t just planting life. Also, there was almost no lava on Earth so it would be some recent geological time. I can only accept that he was planting human-like Intelligent life, perhaps our species itself. I liked it because it seemed to align with creationist myth and that’s a huge cultural mashup to me.

Anyway, I tend to overthink…

There’s another ‘fact’ taken for granted by this article that I can’t quite follow. They say the Engineer was acting on its own and this was a negative behavior in their species, a bit of a paria. What sustains such claim?

PS. I only saw Aliens (1986) and Prometheus. Not a fan of horror, but SciFi.

In their jargon it’s called “scrub”. There are different arrangements, I have 3 disks under raid 5 or raidz 1. Data is written twice and every month I confirm checksums.

In the past I had lost photos on faulty disks, this solution provides me with techniques for coping and dealing in such scenarios.

True. But you can save photos and videos under self-healing filesystem like zfs. Is far more cheaper than a year of multiple premium subscriptions (google, netflix, spotify). And it’s not recurring monthly other than electricity bill…
