A local hero was saving women from Windows by installing fresh Linux distros on their dated machines. I wanted this superpower.

In working through the installation I was the least disappointed I’ve ever been with an OS. The result was something I truly liked. If I nail down every single problem it could be my all time favourite machine.

I live in my headphones. If anyone chatty is around I put headphones on as an indicator of concentration. (Not that it works)

Use a form attached to a spreadsheet FTLoG! What a finicky way to dunce your job!

Arch is great, but it needs longer explanations considering the user needs to do a lot more. Sometimes you find them, but other times you find a snarky superuser with zero people skills.

It’s a shame they aren’t government standard, so I could take a local course to become a snarky superuser too.

Most of it involves everyday Linux usages, but some of it is specific to Arch and it breaks so hard. It’s not a great thing when you’re stupid busy and don’t have the headroom to get to the bottom of it. Sometimes all you get is vague theories on how a fix might occur. After that you’re playing shell games trying to debug your problems.

Definitely recommend for pro-Linux people that have a breakable laptop that can go on the backburner.

This looks interesting, thanks!

A lot of blind courage is also missing. People used to answer to a lot of blind requests in a way that demanded a leap of faith and an effort to establish their own character. It also had a healthy dose of just wait and see. These days people can weasel out of uninformed situations quite a lot. So, we lean to shallow decision models with fewer good intentions accordingly.

He wanted that job!

It’s a new management objective.

It does make sense in terms of working in a box for military awareness of enemy combatants. No expert, but that is something we’ve seen before.

Ah, good point. The universe hadn’t expanded yet.

Yeah, I’m slipping after 3 days. It’s like putting on beer goggles.

Spam is primarily contained as an illicit act. Normal corporations can’t engage in spam activities without some regulation. Around the world there are limitations on spam. As we know it, unstoppable spam is nothing in comparison to unstoppable heavy hitter DDOS type attacks.

If legal you would have to pay email providers to get out from under it. Think ads!

All the neutrality of a traveling rocket scientist working for the highest bidder.

TIL, unlawful perfidy.

Which is why they’re calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate, no?

Open source isn’t struggling. It’s a struggle. People have high expectations, and expectations go awry in open source and profit models.

Two men destroy a 7/11. The police throw both in jail. Nobody cares if they were fighting and double daring each other to destroy more 7/11 which will get them in trouble. Both are committing crimes.

We need more of these balanced accusations.

Having an electrical background I noticed a lot of logic disappearing into code and still wanted access to it. Also, virtualisation and emulation are a lot cheaper to run.

Meat grinder probability in the red sort of problems. It’s not just another day resisting the oppressors.
