We were so close to a phone usable by non-enthusiasts with the Nokia N1. The Nokia Linux phones were killed when Nokia hired a former VP at Microsoft to be their CEO. I’m still bitter.

Is it consensual or not? 🤔

My son asked me why people grill instead of using the stove, and I had no real answer for him. Can someone help?

I thought vaporware was announced or promised code that never materializes, or shows up much later than claimed. Often used by big companies to squash competition, who typically have very real solutions available.

Worse than NixOS?

Are all Huffington Post articles a bunch of Twitter links?

I mean, the pull requests will arrive.

Especially if they are security related, even if only 5% are anything, that’s still quite a few actual bugs. 😞

That sucks comrade. Take care.

I think a tongue dom is something different though…

I think this vaccine was especially upsetting for right wing folks, since it is for a sexually transmitted virus, and works best if given to people before they become sexually active. Telling God-fearing Christians that they need to vaccinate their pre-pubescent girls for sexually transmitted diseases was always going to be a tough fight.

I use Jottacloud for off site restic backups. You have to use rclone, but it’s not too tricky. I don’t know how well it works outside of Europe. It’s cheap and can store terabytes of data!

I mean, good?

Using some very basic security, like minimal services and keeping stuff patched and having backups, and you’re probably fine. I’ve run stuff locally at home for decades and never had a security issue as far as I know. (I did have a problem with a hosted server that I shared with some friends 20 years ago, because at that time updating Fedora was a hassle and we let it get behind on updates.)

Your eu.cc domains are fine. You don’t need to spend money on a 2nd-level domain if you’re happy with the longer name.

For comparison, I’ve had a nl.eu.org domain for decades, and never had any issues. I also had a number of .tk domains for a while and those all went away when the business managing the domain got sued out of existence. I currently use nom.es domains for various tests.

Huh. With my impacted wisdom tooth they just broke it in half with a hammer and then twisted the pieces out with some calipers. The anesthesia was good, so I didn’t feel pain, but the crunching and scraping sounds were… off-putting.

In the late Middle Ages some scholars argued that there could not be humans in the southern hemisphere… a.k.a. antipodes

The idea was that it gets hotter and hotter as you go further south. Eventually it would get too hot for people to survive, certainly at the equator. So you can’t cross to the temperate parts of the southern hemisphere.

The Bible doesn’t mention creating any other people on the other side of the planet, and none can get there from the northern hemisphere, so therefore they must not exist. Q.E.D.

That’s no moon star!

My family only has one car. We don’t have pre-recorded seat settings, but it would be handy.

Take a nap… Zen fire ze fucking missiles!

You never know. I thought Devuan was a fantasy but the team’s burning hatred was enough to make it work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
