Someone please make a backup

This, but I used a CD-RW as my scratch disk. Was it good? No. Did it matter with dialup? Not really.

Having professionally terminated fiber, that shit is nasty and hazardous in a way copper will never be.

The little fiber bits can be razor sharp, you have to be careful of the naked fiber end, because it can get into your skin like a splinter, only it is clear, nearly invisible, can shatter if grabbed too hard, and is invisible to MRI and X-RAY scans…

There’s a great talk called “Lawyer. Passport. Locksmith. Gun.” From saintcon that’s really good.

it’s very early days for loops and as far as i’ve seen there’s no option to host your own instance (though they say it will be open source, it is not right now). https://loops.video/help-center/frequently-asked-questions

I… Thought it did…

Man I loved that game. I didn’t even play the story much. It’s was just a fun drive around game

FOR KARL!

Hey, welcome. Hope you find the places you like here. That’s all.

I can’t wait for a new left party.

This is written as if the election were still in the future. We’re going in, and it’s going to be hell. This is the loadout selection screen before the match starts. We need to be thinking of ways we can bolster our communities and defend ourselves.

Fucking duh

I right click the start menu more than I open it normally.

This is my experience. I had them on my desk in a test bay to make sure they were all good to go and the only time I notice them is when they’re doing a lot of read/write movements. While they idle they’re quiet. So it depends on your use case, where the drive physically is, and what the drive is attached to. If it’s mounted with nice rubber dampers or something you might never hear them. If they’re mounted up to a loose chunk of metal they might rattle and drive you nuts.

PopOS. It was the easiest to get my Nvidia GPU set up and plays all the games that I wanna play without too much pain. I’ve been meaning to try something like Arch with KDE, something like what my SteamDeck is using… but I don’t wanna fuck around setting up Arch.

I just grabbed a pair of 18TB Seagate Exos SATA drives - surprisingly quiet for what they are.

This is exactly how my local municipal fiber network works. The the county owns, and builds put, the fiber network and maintains it, selling network access to local ISPs who sell to customers.

Only shitty part is that if you want to have a connection built out that isn’t on their plan, you have to fund the fiber run to you from wherever the nearest spot is, and that can be many thousands of dollars.

I imagine if we expanded the program like you’re talking about in the rest of the world, we could actually run it fine, like, we have the ability to… It’s just that the people in power are fucking awful.

I mean … Of your mom’s still around… Maybe buy fish and like, ask to learn the recipe and cook it yourself? I’m not a mom, I’m a dad, but I cook a lot and if my kid wanted to learn what I do when cooking, that’d be cool.

Hell yeah. Also, support your local library! I know your local library doesn’t have a free for all streaming service, but they lend books and all kinds of media… Just imagine if we could push it to where your local library DID have a Plex/Jellyfin/Netflix-esque service? Just log in with your library card! That’s the dream…
