And this is why the best reason to go vegan is for the animals.

With dairy and egg industry I was referring to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. Egg laying breed is totally different compared to broilers that are bred specifically to be edible.

Source on that? I’d reckon dairy and egg industry equally bad as meat industry. Here in northern Europe dairy and meat industry go hand in hand, that is, when a dairy cow stops being productive it gets ground to beef.

Focus on being part of the solution: Go vegan. Then tell your friends and family to go vegan. Tell them to do the same to their friends and family members.

Once we’ve gotten rid of dairy and meat production, we can toy with the CEO’s and prisons.

Also, if it’s a decent application, it probably logs stuff somewhere. Check /var/log for software installed system wide. If the logs are not there, check the install dir etc. If there’s a README around, check that out first.

Good luck!

100% agreed. If possible, get a rescue kid. (In general, without getting into the nitty gritty details about the adoption processes around the world.)

Read “evil dildo” at first. Even that fits.

E. The fits was not intended, but suits here as well.

Great job! Now it’s a good time to learn a bit of Ansible so you can keep your fleet up-to-date and configured. It would also come in handy in case you get a permit to do more conversions in the future.

Do they really nag for streaks? Damn, it’s sadder than I thought…

I have a love/hate relationship with Nethack’s Sokoban levels.

A long lost host (a machine that’s been offline or in a closed off network etc.) can find its master (puppetserver) when it sees the daylight again with the regularily polling puppet agent service. This is not as straightforward with ansible’s push model.

Stealing this one!

No, no and yes.

Type-O-Negative had its most popular moments in the 90’s. I think the placement would be quite horny and fairly sad. (If it were Carnivore and the 80’s, the scale would implode because it doesn’t accommodate very angry but really horny.)

As a shorthand writer I approve of this comment.

The point was that the lines are pretty blurred nowadays.

No, they’re apps.

I get it. That’s why I included the part about “the family tech guy”. And I think some sparkle of interest must be had in order to learn about that stuff. Or any stuff, like learning Ancient Greek. One has to be able to use a web search (or write a prompt to an LLM) for “beginner install linux” or some such. If the spark isn’t there, maybe buying a new Windows/Mac is the correct way to go.

Life is a long learning experience. Installing (or asking that nerdy relative to install) a Linux distro is no biggie anymore and when picking a good all-around distro like Mint, for example, pretty much anyone who has some basic experience on computers can do it.
