Oh, yall got that im invoking the psudo-history to make a point.

To add to it, it would have to be a very small recorder.

I was going to guess Nero, but he was taught to play music. If 47 tried to do the same he would be playing a plastic recorder on the roof while the east wing keeps getting demolished.

Thank you, I was not in a place where I could have looked that up easily when I threw that comment onto the interwebs.

Hey, where are my fellow ISO-8601 fans?

IIRC the EU is working on one, but its still a ways out.

Incorrect, a raspberry pi will run off of a phone charger (it will whine at you if it provides less than 2 amps).

And for some of the projects listed that are meant to be out in the field like Meshtastic, there are plenty of guides to get them hooked up to solar cells.

In addition, to avoid costs of the RAMpocalypse/data centers butt-fucking the local power grid, reduce, reuse and recycle. Older desktops can run hypervisors like Proxmox or other VM/container solutions to split the work load into a bunch of VMs. (Dell Refurbished has decent deals, if you dont mind scratched up cases, but its beena bit since ive checked them)

In my case, the same device hosts multiple services split into several VMs, and I just got the backup server taking nightly snapshots. Wont save my data from a fire, but if hardware issues happen, backups are being taken (still need to test them, but thats a problem for future me).

I know he is an asshole, but I miss Chuck Norris jokes.

They were never funny, but they were not funny in a simpler time.

I was thinking using this to practice making web apps again. Find me in a year if I actually do…

Like how the Tappan Zee Bridge is now the Mario M. Cuomo Sr. bridge (they rebuilt it a while back, and its not named after Governor bad touch, its named after his dad).

CT re-did their signs, NY re-did their signs, but NJ being the spiteful bastards they are (love ya New Jersey, keep it up) still has the old Tappan Zee signs all over the place.

But were his pants on fire?

When I was at the park we saw a huge SUV navigate that road in the first photo. This Uber Black motherfucker spent 30 min trying to climb that cliff and we just watched and cheered them on. I do not know how they made it… Canyonlands is not a park to mess around in.

Nuuuu!

Im very thankful that it appears this chapter of consumerist history is over. Last entry on Black Friday Death Count was from 2021 and I was going past my big local mall and I saw tons of parking. In past years that place was a zoo, but today, slightly more crowded than normal, but nothing dangerous.

I saw that clip… Its normal current-level unhinged. In times past, it would have been a black mark and his colleages would use it to mock him for ages, and it would cost him elections… But in [current year] its Tuesday…

[slaps buzzer] logical fallacy, Straw-man, you are awarded no points.

Hey now, Vance already has a restraining order, he isnt allowed within 200 feet of sofas, ottomans or Ikeas.

A bit of internet history, account age was a measure of clout on Slashdot.org. Your account ID was posted as part of your replies, so the lower the number, the longer you have been on the site.

Mine personally is in the 1.3M range, and I still read the site and I still see users posting on accounts as low as 500k ID, those have been around since the late 90s.

The site is just a news agrigator at this point with a comment section full of boomers and greybeards (sys admins that probably should consider retiring), but its been my home page for ~20 years and I have no intention of changing that.

The thing is that with W10 going EOL, everyone is going to be forced to learn a new OS, regardless if they want to or not (W11has been out for years, if you havent jumped, there is likely a reason). Lemmy users being the socially concious crusaders that they are, are encouraging people to make a better choice than defaulting to Windows again (given all its very real issues of useability and data harvesting).

Not having access to preditory games due to self-imposed tech limitations isnt high on the list of reasons to choose linux, but its good shitpost material.

Shhh, we do not speak of such places. We do not wish for people to know their names and seek such dark recesses.

Ha [Internet high five], there is a thing about EvE online players and being opinionated nerds about VOIP solutions.
