Not too ick someone’s yum, and this ventures outside of Linux.

I dislike the BSDs. Great for getting pf, and not being a homogeneous shop, but just different enough to be difficult outside of one specific use case.

Gentoo was similar. It may be different now, but a pain on the Xbox.

Mint was too dumbed down and ugly.

Ubuntu is useful, but likely harmful with it’s constant pushes to commercialize everything.

Redhat is needed for work, but the commercialization drives worse quality. Documentation seems purposely bad to drive training courses.

(Yes, I like Debian.)

I have never read them except out of Boredom

Fun Fact: this has always been true. That and avoiding the children. In the days of outhouses, sitting on the toilet for hours was not great. So they read newspapers.

Edit: I was more being funny about wasting time in the bathroom too avoid child responsibility. People have often needed long times to make things work. The person that responded to me had some great points.

MNByChoice,

Very true! I love thinking about ancient greeks complaining about “kids these days.”

MNByChoice,

You are right. Thank you

MNByChoice,

The CLI was there first. GUIs are still catching up.

MNByChoice,

Hey now. A divorce could also sink things. He doesn’t have to die for things to go to shit.

(I know nothing of his personal life.)

MNByChoice,

You know, I am glad you thought to check.

MNByChoice,

If one were alive during the things that Forrest Gump experiences during the movie. Then seeing those things in a movie with Tom Hanks could cause feelings of nostalgia.

MNByChoice,

I think nostalgia carried the movie.

MNByChoice,

Yeah. I had presumed the sonar was just annoying, not body destroying.

MNByChoice,

Starting with a small loan of $10 million, at 8% return, invested for 60 years, is all that is needed to be a billionaire.

Get rich parents that will loan their newborn $10 million.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

MNByChoice,

True.

A case can be made for a large number of buttons. I wonder if the extra complications of multiple buttons would have a good payoff.

MNByChoice,

Imposing Democracy on others does not seem to work, or requires a skill set rarely developed.

MNByChoice,

Point of Clarification. Are you calling Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer a dictator, or referring to an earlier point in time?

MNByChoice,

This is why fires in fireplaces pose no threat.

MNByChoice, (edited )

Fuck, I like it. Is it for sale, or is someone making more?

Edit: I mean on a car that looks classic, but is not as there are few classic cards.

MNByChoice,

Yup. The store has more.

MNByChoice,

I wonder if the specifics of the hack would make backing up elsewhere fail. Possibly by spreading the hack to new machines.

In any case, testing backups is important.

MNByChoice,

I know nothing of fighting crime. I expect it is long periods of boredom, with short and intense action. At some point, except at the conclusion of something, crime is nearly nothing at 4 AM. Sleep to noon, then get going. Alfred and any assistants can have decisions lined up for him.

I bet he does not cook, do laundry, or clean.

MNByChoice,

They had an amazing ability to fall asleep almost instantly so I imagine that made it much easier.

Sleep deprivation will do that.

MNByChoice,

Please do. I really like this chart and expect a lot more coming soon.

And no, I don’t expect to get any actual data from the chart at all.

MNByChoice,

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information, but it passes my totally uniformed bullshit detector. distractify.com/…/what-happens-if-a-guy-takes-pla… has an article on just that. In summary, nothing fun or pleasant. Keep away from Ambien, as they may look physically similar.

Protecting HDDs from (external) train vibrations

I am worried that externally caused vibrations might damage my HDDs (NAS in the planning). The subway / metro runs under my building, and every time the train passes, this causes slight but measurable vibrations in the 50-100 Hz frequency range. It is more like a rumbling noise than the usual vibration of a passing train....

MNByChoice,

Also consider rubber feet.

MNByChoice,

The espresso machine next to the drip coffee maker also has issues.

MNByChoice,

Treating Future Me the way Present Me wishes Past Me would have treated Present Me, has really helped Present Me be kinder to others.
