It’a kinda frustrating how often a native Linux port is a super-fucking-trivial job and they had decades to do it and just could not be arsed.

I think the August 2001 backup is a good restore point.

Yep. It’s not Inkscape.

Do PhotoShop and Illustrator both do full vector editing? I never paid to find out.

Photoshop can’t draw capsicums so GIMP is still better.

2024 Suzuki Swift.

You even need to dial in the date and time manually because there’s no GPS either.

I didn’t tell ChatGPT who I am. I have a separate email address for it and everything.

Just keep in back of mind how everything is being linked and profiled behind the scenes. Without anything else, all they have to link you to other things is an IP address and an email. IP addresses aren’t terribly reliable these days. There may be supercookie/fingerprinting mischief going on though.

Even if a relative has shared their DNA, it can be used to make some fairly safe assumptions about yours.

My car’s computer doesn’t transmit. It doesn’t log anything more than engine fault codes. That’s how I like it.

The backend and frontend on the product I work on are like this.

As long as you remember that booleans are not strings and should always be parsed if they are, this won’t be a problem.

I am yet to see a boolean.parse() implementation in the wild that is case sensitive.

I would have assumed the hosts file got cached, indexed and re-read if the file changes. Surely it’s not read and parsed for every single hostname lookup.

My adblock list is in BIND9 anyway, so I don’t get this issue. I can see it definitely takes a second or two to parse the whole list on startup.

Leave the battery in and you have a free UPS. Perhaps set it capped at 80% charge to increase its lifespan.

My server is always my old desktop hardware. It’s a 4th-gen i5 with 16GB RAM and it’s keeping up fine. I have thrown quite a lot of work at it too. If you avoid containers, you can serve 20 services off it no problem.

I too, was worried about power costs. Every time I do the maths, the new hardware will be obsolete by the time I make the money back in savings. If you’re concerned about environmental impact, the initial manufacture of hardware does more damage than running it over its lifetime.

Dedicated (1U rackmount) servers are always loud and power-hungry. I they idle at 130w and sound like a hairdryer that’s been left on.

Find secondhand on Facebook marketplace. Dive into an e-waste bin if you have to.

The photoshop page doesn’t even have a download link.

0/10 would not download.

This is what I did. Flashed OpenWRT on all devices and enabled the 802.11r stuff. My “mesh” is just multiple APs connected by ethernet and fast BSSID handover.

802.11s is a mesh where it’s all done over Wifi. 802.11r uses ethernet for comms between APs.

The last task I got from my boss had a Jira ticket headed with “THIS CODE IS BAD. FIX IT BUT DO NOT REFACTOR IT”.

Yeah, I have a reputation.

But it would be better if my coworkers didn’t write garbage.

It feels like I spend 15 hours waking up.

OMG Hypnotoad HTPC is so much better! Why didn’t I thnnk of that?

Server (big iron): Bender

Desktop (main character): Fry

Laptop (for accounting): Hermes

Netbook (small and dumb): Nibbler

Phone (held to my head): BrainSlug

HTPC (one big viewport): Leela

I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.

I just went on Youtube and watched the real song that was posted 15 years ago.

The comments are flooded with “RIP Rick Buckler” (drummer) from 15 days ago.

Now I’m ruined.

I first visited London only a few months after this came out. It was stuck in my head the moment I got on the platform at Heathrow.

$250 is a dumb denomination that only US would do.

1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 ,100 is followed by 200, 500, 1000.

JFC every measurement of everything in that country gets decided by someone who flunked in maths.
