I’ve been using Linux for like 18 years and I still hop. I got a better idea of what I like to use for different situations though…but there are so many great builds/derivatives now. I’m pretty well settled into Bazzite and Nobara, or regular Fedora and Fedora Blue, depending on specific needs now though.

Yeah but your Rule 34 insurance premiums are less if you have a license.

I know, I know. I’m just busting your Bibles.

Sacrilege. Op, if you want Bibles in the pour, you can certainly do that. I’d recommend Leviticus.

Part of me really thinks that our entry into Vietnam was partly because there wasn’t enough jobs for all the baby boomers that were coming of age, and they needed to cull the numbers a bit.

Its common, it’s called the refractory period. Younger men can sometimes go a couple minutes after a “reboot” but as you get older it takes longer and longer.

ETA: maybe I should read past the topic…

I’m doing my part.

I set up bazzite in a VM and passed my GPU thru it.

Now I’ve got a nuc clone in my office with bazzite on it as well and it’s just a moonlight client. But it’s silent. Or damn close. The GPU is two floors away, I hear nothing!

That was two separate downloads, too…Nvidia-gnone and gnome-standard.

I was on Nobara a couple months ago and liked it…but a colleague piqued my interest on immutable distros and now here I am.

As someone from the class of 2003, the numbers are definitely going down. Can’t tell you anything else about this graph though.

Yes. Water is most definitely not rated for sub-freezing temps.

Though the stronger stuff helps clear ice off your windshield faster…especially on those mornings when you’ve got that smooth sheet of ice that doesn’t want to be scraped.

No, that’s how Mamdani gets federal AIDS. Totally different.

I definitely recall talking to someone at Cisco TAC (or maybe Fortinet…but most of my dealings with FortiTAC lately are with the same groups of people…you get to a point in understanding the tech that only certain people can help you…) who has a “villainous” middle-eastern name.

There’s likely more than one though.

Yeah but police follow the money until it gets too hard to pull people in (or someone on the force is protecting them).

So usually they just take your basic B&Es and corner street dealers and shoplifters and leave it at that.

Nobody ever asked why the criminals chose a life of crime.

Nobody goes after the employers that are paying slave wages, training employees how to sign up for welfare, or getting their employees to work off the clock.

The welfare one especially. People get mad at welfare recipients and not the people that put them in that position. Welfare is subsidizing the Walton’s more than anything. They could afford to pay their employees a living wage, but why would they when they can pay the minimum and working-class taxpayers can pay for the rest. Dumbass redcaps should be shunning Walmart, not sucking its proverbial dick.

I had to rent a car from Enterprise during a mild snowstorm.

I picked it up the night before and brought it home (work paid for the rental, I didn’t want to put miles on my car).

They had filled up the wiper fluid with water, so my wipers wouldn’t work. Frozen solid.

Swung by the rental agency on the way to my trip to complain and swap out the car.

Next car was fine for like 30 minutes but then it stopped working again. Frozen solid.

I guess some idiot decided to top up all the cars with water. Which doesn’t work so well in the wintertime.

ETA: for those who don’t know driving in the snow…you often need wiper fluid. Especially when the road has a mist of salty, sandy water on it from melted snow + sand/salt trucks.

My chickens do this too. Its called a dust bath. Its an integral part of their self-care routine.

This one’s in dirt right now but most of them really love my kids sandbox if I let them out of their area. They treat it like a spa. Good thing my kids are too big for a sandbox now.

She was really in it though…stretching out those feathers and getting it in the little crevices. Rolling around. Just having a grand old time.

Oh shit does he work for Cisco TAC? I think I’ve worked with him before. Forgot all about that.

Literally Hitler.

Also hes 59…so he’s born in 1966-ish. Hitler was recent history. That’d be like me calling my kid Suddam Hussein.

Oh really was there someone else by that name already? I hadn’t known.

You’d think at least a nurse or something would be like “uhh you might want to reconsider”.

I think they are saying that her suicide was for the benefit of all humanity.

Getting some Michelle Carter vibes…

I honest to fucking God don’t understand how cybersec is so fucking bad that there are so many damn data breaches that I lost count

Really? It’s hard to understand?

Dude it’s a fucking arms race between cyber security teams and attackers.

And there’s more money in attacking than there is in defending. Defending is an expense. Attacking is almost entirely profit

And some attackers are backed by nation-states.

Attackers only have to get through once. Defense has to work 100% of the time.

Well it’s a good show regardless.
