I was lucky to meet some real operating systems (VMS, Unix) before I got contaminated with Microsoft products. So when I first heard about Linux (some guy in Finland wrote a new kernel and showed it to Prof. Tanenbaum, and when he grows up, he wants it to become a full fledged unix :-)) I knew already what it is.

NeoNachtwaechter,

I hope we can separate the DE from the OS some day

We had that from the beginning of X. It could abstract nicely from all unices and even a little M$.

That era ended (unintentionally) with the dawn of KDE and GNOME, and I’m afraid it won’t come back with Wayland.

NeoNachtwaechter,

I want it with Elon’s face in the backgrund, so that I can throw some darts at it!

NeoNachtwaechter,

Is it April 1st already?

NeoNachtwaechter,

e2image

There’s a good reason for the 2 in the name.

Today we have ext4, and ZFS of course.

NeoNachtwaechter,

instead of using a proper file level backup

Backups do not solve everything.

For example once I had a bad cable, and it did a kinda sneaking silent damage. Let’s say 5 or 50 broken files every day. And only after some weeks I noticed some of them, and there was hardly a chance to identify them each day. And sometimes there was damage to the file system, too. It took a while find the root cause.

Today I use ZFS with redundancy and it does the recovery all by itself and my sleep is so much better :-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

I wasn’t saying backups are useless or something.

I was saying there are situations that backups can’t solve.

NeoNachtwaechter,

They dug it out before. Later they rebuild it. But if they wait for a year, nature suffers much.

No, the question isn’t clear.

Which time do you want to stop?

Since Einstein’s papers from 1905, we know that every being lives in it’s own time and also every place and every thing in the whole universe has it’s own time. So, which time do you want to stop?

NeoNachtwaechter,

LOL you know what, I am currently reading the original.

I guess it’s you who wants to read it again.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Currently, there is no other really powerful figure next to him.

Therefore a giant power vacuum emerges.

The war would stop, probably very soon. But then the situation gets chaotic and unpredictable.

NeoNachtwaechter,

"Doppelgangers! Listen!

There is a good news and a bad news for you this morning.

The good news is: Our Great Leader has survived the dangerous attack last night.

The other news is: He has lost his right arm. "

NeoNachtwaechter,

largely to secure someone’s position in their upper ranks

Yes, or simply because noone else really wants this war (=wants the country to pay the price of this war).

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

NeoNachtwaechter,

I’ll sacrifice enough of my time to help build the guillotines we’ll need to deal with the root cause of these problems.

Billions of guillotines??

I do not want to know your dreams at night…

build a better world

Doesn’t work because that goal doesn’t say much.

People are willing to spend or sacrifice for specific goals with good chances of actually reaching them. Otherwise they would turn away, unimpressed.

Also, the measure of how good the chances must be, and how specific the goal needs to be, is very diverse between the cultures and societies.

So, less is more: limit your scope to 1 country and culture, restrain your goals to specific and realistic ones, and you can achieve a lot with many followers.

NeoNachtwaechter,

The most cost effective ones are not exactly on the market.

You order the parts and the needed tools/devices from the land of the free mail order businesses, and then you follow some youtube tutorial for instructions how to build your battery. Saves you thousands.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Owning a home AND being stupid is a good way to become poor. So what.

NeoNachtwaechter,

The most terrifying siren is the one of a dive bomber.

NeoNachtwaechter,

But you are assuming that he cannot remember his answers from the first try, and whether they were right or wrong.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Let’s say you use both tries and you remember your previous two respected answers.

Important question here:

If your first try gives you a grade of 50%, do they tell you which one of your answers was the right one and which one was the wrong one?
