Spoken like someone who never accidentally typed something into the wrong terminal or accidentally used the wrong keyboard.

Funny thing about that one, gnuplot is not under GPL and has nothing to do with GNU.

It’s not like Putin hasn’t tried that…

It’s hard to believe how insanely long it took, and still is taking to get a production-ready, solid ntfs driver in linux.

Congratz on the woodworking achievement! But,… somehow a fireplace seems like an inappropriate place for books…

From the photo, there seems to have been a substantial-thickness concrete wall and then a brick wall. Obviously, they were still not enough, but it wasn’t just a brick wall.

And about the wooden shelves: So what? They are not security relevant or customer facing, they just need to work as shelves.

The password for the hard drive encryption and the system login are two separate things, so, yes, this combination is easily possible. You’ll have to input a password for system bootup, but not for logging in.

How advisable that combination is is another question entirely.

I found two posts in this entire thread asking what these actually are. That’s not a whole lot.

It’s a pack of resistors. Electrical resistors for building electronic circuits.

Those are not mutually exclusive. ADHD people notice different things in life than others do.

Some things never change

Weeell… If you actually look at some of the things the elites back then did and how the place was run, it was pretty damn extreme, even compared to today’s Trump era. Just two examples out of many to look up would names like Crassus or Caligula. As far-fetched as it may seem looking at just the modern world, I actually would argue that the sheer degree of general bastardry has come down a lot since then.

The Roman Empire may be very fascinating from a historical perspective, but let’s be realistic, most of the people at the top there were absolutely terrible, tyrannical, often murderous bastards witha completely self-centered sense of morality.

Some of these look familiar but I have no idea what any of these are.

Are you being serious right now?

Grow your own = Insanely cheap, very easy, super delicious.

Not going to be anywhere near enough food for one person unless you have more land available for yourself than people in a city or even most modern suburban developments are likely to have. Also takes a lot of time and effort if you want more than the occasional tomato, cucumber, lettuce head or zucchini to enrich your diet a bit. (Can be fun on a small scale, though.)

Farmer’s market = Cheap, convenient, super delicious and big.variety.

Nice, but takes a lot of planning, storage and home cooking to work out. You may need to start planning your life around when the farmer’s markets are and what they carry. Also, the variety is necessarily limited to what farmers in your area are growing.

Friends with chickens = Delicious high quality free eggs offloaded onto you every week.

Cool if you got those, but most people don’t.

Proof by break: Before the break: “We will proof this theorem after a short break”, After the break: “As we have proven before the break…”
Proof by unavailable literature: The prrof can be found in a publication only available by in-person request in one library of one university in Brno, Czechia. That closed 30 years ago.

Well, it’s not the department of planning ahead…

My plants are tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, oregano, garlic and coffee (no serious hopes for a good harvest in my climate).

Am I still allowed to call myself a man?

Why the he fuck am I sitting here, looking at this pic and getting nostalgic about those stupid bulky, power-hungry, washed-up picture producing, x-ray-emitting CRT shit boxes?

It would be pretty mean to not pay him that point – but technically, I’m pretty sure he cannot legally demand payment after quite that much time. Pretty sure purely civil claims expire after some time of not being pressed.

I don’t even know which Linux specific fork you are referring to, it could be either a git fork or fork(2).
