Almost a chuckle

On a Commodore64?

Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

You’re probably about my age. I was just late getting into computers. First attempt at university was dumb terminals connected to some Unix host. Failed everything and dropped out. Went back a few years later and had 8086 based PCs booting DOS off diskettes.

Took a while, but I found “me”. Slackware 3.1 was 3 or 4 boxes of floppies if I remember correctly. A full box, or more maybe, for X!

fvwm2?

And, F-Droid shows apps that were installed from the Play Store.

That made me laugh for real. Mainly because it bought back memories - I’m pretty sure I first heard it from my dad - about 50 years ago.

Yep - I use Facebook and Instagram regularly. I spend a lot of time in both tapping on “hide this” or “show less of this” or “report and block user”, but I find it worth it for the interactions with some like minded people in hobby related groups. I’m aware of the privacy implications, but I figure I’ve been there for so long there’s not much more for them to learn about me. I use ad and tracker blocking to slow them down a little.

I’m the same. When I was recently buying some new wool socks the seller said something like “these are great - you can wear them for days without washing” and I thought that was gross - but he was right. I leave them loosely sitting on top of my boots to air overnight and they are ready for another day.

I’ve been using vim since it was just vi and I can’t even begin to think about using it on a virtual keyboard!

As an Australian who moved to Canada - I’m jealous! I can’t buy cartons of custard here - I have to buy custard powder in the international section at the grocery store and make my own!

Oh wow - that looks interesting. I’ve been investing a bit of time recently getting into musicbrainz/listenbrainz - now I’m torn.

No h on the end - just Jerboa

Protecting children would mean knowing which users are children, which would mean knowing the actual legal identity of every user of the platform. It’s never going to happen.

I assume “data” includes your container configuration files in this strategy?

It should be obvious from the context here, but you don’t just need geographic separation, you need “everything” separation. If you have all your data in the cloud, and you want disaster recovery capability, then you need at least two independent cloud providers.

It seems that as I get older I get Larson less and less. I think I just follow for the nostalgia value now.

I suspect a caption has been cropped off this. I tried, but couldn’t find it.

I know it’s probably sacrilege, but I avoid the need for one of these by grinding half a dose, tamping a bit then grinding the rest and finishing the tamp. I’m using a Breville Barista Express so couldn’t (easily) use one of these even if I wanted to.

I’m curious how you retain the magnets in it? Are they printed in, or mechanically added later? (I know very little about 3d printing, this just came up in my top-6-hour feed)

I used Kodi and now use Jellyfin as client/server - my media is on a local server. The difference (the way I use it) is that with Kodi the server was just a file server and the client (Kodi) was doing all the work. The Jellyfin server is a media server and the clients are very lightweight. I was pushed to move to Jellyfin when I got a new Sony TV - the built-in Android TV experience was very usable but I couldn’t install Kodi - it ran out of space trying to build the media database. I’m sure there are ways I could have made it work, but I’d heard about Jellyfin and figured I’d try it. I liked it and never went back.
