Gork,

Extra Virgin Motor Oil, cold pressed, coming right up.

Can we get a Sci Hub link? Not all of us have good library access, or want to enrich publishers who leech the work of scientists who aren’t even compensated for it.

Gork,

I have the same question, but for 4D shapes.

How do you work full-time and stay awake all shift?

A few questions to people who have struggled long-term with fatigue, exhaustion, insomnia, etc.: what do you do to keep awake for a full-time workday? Black coffee, supplements, herbs, drugs/prescriptions, other? None, and it required a lifecycle habit change? Have you had success with “desk” jobs sitting all day, or had to...

Gork,

I struggled for a long time before being diagnosed with sleep apnea. I sometimes feel asleep at my desk (not willingly, just passed out) until I got prescribed a CPAP machine.

Now I just need some coffee in the morning and I’m good to go until evening.

Gork,

Out of curiosity, do you VM the Windows or the Linux? I know Windows really doesn’t play well with bootloaders.

Gork,

If you’re feeling even more paranoid, go with something even more obscure like Plan 9 from Bell Labs. It’s Unix-like but differs so much from it that a Unix or Linux type malware would do nothing to it.

I think you’re right. A single desktop, unless it is either someone in a position of power or access to trade secret files, is not a time effective attack vector.

A server on the other hand can access all of that stuff across an entire organization.

Indeed. A fun little project but unfortunately it doesn’t seem ready for any sort of daily use. Driver support (a crucial component) is probably pretty scarce. Their web browsers too are hit-or-miss, with one in particular (Links) that crashes when performing a during Google search.

Still, there are few alternatives that differ substantially from the original ancestral Unix that are available and more should be developed. GNU/Hurd and the BSD’s are the only ones I know of.

Mmm too modern for my tastes. Gotta go with the Lyons Electronic Office LEO I OS from 1951.

It would need punch card malware lol.

Ooh let’s go back even further to ENIAC in 1945.
