It used to be 20. But my wife claims I leave skidmarks on the sheets.

Now it’s 17.

What? What did the moderator of r/jailbait do now?

Moroccan oil is the main sponsor.

Hint: it’s not a Moroccan company.

It’s an easy mistake to make.

You’ll need to update to a point release sooner or later.

Are you the kind of person who lives to peel off the band-aid or pull it off in one go?

I prefer to peel mine. I’ve learned from pulling stitches by ripping it off.

On a more serious note: btrfs and timeshift are 👌. If there ever is a botched package, I’ll just roll back to this morning and keep working. It’ll probably be fixed by tomorrow.

Navidrome.

They’re sold as “Thomson streaming stick” in Europe.

Mine works well.

The Laestadian sect from my neck of the woods are big on forgiveness. If I had a quarter for every time this story has surfaced, I’d have a nice mixed bag of beers for the weekend. I might get alcohol poisoning if I had a quarter for all the stories that never surfaced.

imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s

I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.

The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).

My original Průša i3 mk0 has been going for 11 years now. It did receive a mk1 upgrade at some point when 3mm filament was getting scarce.

The IEC heatbed connector melted twice. But it’s been solid since I replaced it with an XT60.

Looks like I’m finally getting some metal fatigue in the heatbed temp sensor. I’m considering a new printer. The rest of the components are probably close to giving out after all these years.

I’ve been doing computer engineering long enough to do the field in the 80s and still live as comfortably as I do now, if not more so.

I also sail, with a license old enough that I have my own sextant and reduction tables. I’d assume those skills transfer hundreds of years back, but I wouldn’t like those survivability odds.

I used to shave my head with a razor when I was in the army. I’d give my ponytail a go with the scissors when I let it grow afterwards.

Both are easy and work.

My wife has requirements on my hairdo nowadays, so she gets to cut it. It’s getting too thin for ponytails and she doesn’t like baldy.

I use my dog’s name as password for my WiFi.

Ed&1e.78x!

We call him Eddie for short.

I’ve got my important data encrypted and backed up weekly to the cloud.

I used to have a 1985 sailboat where some previous owner had installed a safe. I guess cash was more important when cruising abroad 30+ years ago.

I have a caravan now. The caravan door is flimsy enough to tear open with your bare hands. I’d like to put something bolted to a cupboard wall just to lock up our electronic devices while we’re out and about.

We’ve been married 12 years now. She still doesn’t have a clue.

Yes, but now you get all the bad news streamed straight to you 24/7.

Previously you would have to pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV at the right time to hear about it.

I ran it 2003-2006ish.

Having a package manager that updates online was a game changer for Linux distributions.

I had been using slackware for 6 years prior, and there was no real update path. Best case you’d just get the latest release on CD and install it over your (hopefully) separate root partiton.

Conpiling all your stuff sounded like a good idea in the age of the architecture options at the time. Alpha, Crusoe, PowerPC, SPARC and MIPS were all viable options.

Removed by mod

I wonder if those DevOps cost $72M/h.

Otherwise I have an idea that might save AWS some money.

I have two machines running the latest kernels on EndeavourOS. One with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX has no issues.

The other one has a Radeon 6650 XT, which since a week or two ago starts getting kworker threads stuck while throwing errors about fence queues. Load can go up to the hundreds (while there’s no real load, but just blocked threads), until the machine crashes.

As I recall there was an amdgpu firmware update around the time it started happening, but the changelog on the amdgpu kernel driver hints at solving similar issues.
