I long ago moved to a pair of 4TB hdds and recently upgraded to a pair of 16TBs

Disk… drive?

Or soda. Or sugary drinks in general.

There is one big caveat to universal time:

Future dates: If you use utc here and a time zone definition changes, you’re boned. You have to store local time and offset for just this one usecase.

I’m 40+ and still love spinners :)

I have been using unstable on desktop for at least 15 years. Every time a new stable was released that would cause a month of just staying off updates till things stabilized. Recently it’s not even had that issue.

I’ve had to pin a package or two in that time, but unstable has been rock solid otherwise. I even run it on my server.

MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.

There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that’s the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.

If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you’ll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.

This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.

I’ve found people mostly very helpful and courteous.

Existing established open source projects? Basically never.

My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I’ve been very happy with Debian (Sid).

There is no such thing as a visual learner.

Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don’t have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don’t need a $2000 top of the line phone.

An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I’m probably going to call opulence.

I never figured out why, but I couldn’t get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I’ve been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.

My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).

The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.

Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.

Seamless sleep on close and wake up on open. Macs still does it best, but Linux it’s an adventure each time.

Do you “see the matrix”?

Y’all motherfuckers need vimtutor

This is why I love l’eclair. The boundless optimism!
