No, it’s better than that. It’s a chromium browser that does the browsing for you!

Airlines. When JetBlue was new they were genuinely enjoyable to fly. After a few years they realized they only needed to be the least worst option, and now they suck like everyone else.

I’m in the US (and in FL no less so it’s routinely 30-38C/80-100F). I moved to my specific house, among other reasons, because it’s about 250M/a quarter mile from a grocery store. I walk there 2x/week and carry back on average about 10kg/20-25 lbs of groceries. Lots of others in my neighborhood do the same, but most of Florida is not built for walking which is incredibly disappointing.

My brain is like having 100 apps and tabs open and my brain constantly hitting alt-tab some random number of times.

Meh.

Almost constantly on calls and meetings. If I’m not moving my hands I’m not paying attention or absorbing and storing information. Or, as I like to say, just another day with debilitating ADHD.

One can dream…

I’ve you ever looked at CUPS code? Forget wizardry, it’s straight up Eldritch lore in typed form.

Nice try, ChatGPT. No more training data and PII from me, thank you very much.

Any hallmark channel original content is like white noise for your brain. If you like to have something on in the background but want to have absolutely no stake in the content it’s a good choice.

Wait that’s what you would do if you had nothing to lose? Why wouldn’t you just do that now?

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

FYI many credit cards will allow you to make virtual numbers which you can then use for individual purchases or groups of purchases. They were originally meant to help combat fraud but I use them for subscription services so that if they give me a hard time about quitting I can simply cancel the card number and file a dispute (which in my few experiences has always gotten me my “overage” fees back)

On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they’re a bunch of feckless cowards.

The safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.

And it was powered by Linus Torvalds!

I don’t think the Mediaworkstations a-X2P ever came out of “limited production”, but with an EPYC processor, desktop GPU and 6 screens it still meets the mark IMO.

[Edit]: Sorry, a pair of EPYC processors. And it’s a shipping product.

Which is especially annoying since it does touch on something interesting and human and ephemeral.
