We never had these when I grew up, but we did have these:

These are also a classic, there was always a rumor that one of the bigger kids managed to swing around the top, yet never any proof… There was also a variant that had a single attachment point at the top and could swing in all directions:

This speech dude seems pretty sweet.

Yeah, Apple has built an image of hardware stability, if you want an iPhone, you will be able to get one at MSRP. That shifts the perspective of Apple from just another company, at the whim of the market, to an institution standing against the market.

The OS should get out of my way as much as possible.

Technically, no, but I don't want a world with just one browser engine. I remember the dark days of IE6

And this is relevant how? If I wanted Blink trash, I would not be using Firefox

Here people actually tend to dim their lights before blinding others, it is not uncommon to approach the top of a hill and see the light from an oncoming car dim before you see the lights. High beams during daytime is not really an issue here, I have driven since 2023 (driven a LOT), and have only seen it a few times.

Interesting, I never knew that the boyfriend left for the military. I have heard, but not understood the song in Spannish. And the english version doesn’t mention the military.

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know what GFS is, I have been a Linux sysadmin for a few years, but never came across that. We used LVM and ext4 for the storage in tjose VMs

I know it is a bit complex, but after seeing the shenanigans Synology tried to play and reading review about Ugreen NAS units and how they seem to connect to external servers often, I just decided to roll my own TrueNAS build. I am using an AMD Ryzen 4600G, 32GB of RAM, a 500GB boot SSD, the only mATX board I could find with six SATA ports, the Asus B550m Pro4 and a Corsair SF750 750W PSU to power it all.

I will if I can, as it stands I have four 8TB seagate drives, enough for my actual storage need, but I want to have two parity drives for extra protection. I am planning on running ZFS with Zraid2, the drives are the final piece of the puzzle to at least get it working. When I planned the build, I planned to get another controller card and run two SSDs as well, one for cache (I can add that later), and one for VM/App storage, I also planned on getting an Intel GPU for transcoding video, and a 10Gig NIC, mainly just to say I have it, as my network isn’t more than normal gigabit. It is getting more important to complete the build as I need to move my media from single, non raided hard drives in my computer to a well raided server that I can configure for bitrot protection.

I do see that another retailer has drives in stock, but at about 40-50% more than I paid back in October

I get paid on the 27th, I need two more 8TB drives to complete my NAS, my local retailer had 50+ in stock earlier this week, and now the drives are no longer even listed. Fuck sake...

I didn't know they had Pepsi when these were used.... https://youtu.be/fZJNsDagK2g

This is unrealistic, dead man switches has been a common part of trains and trams since the 1930s or so, it is therefore highly improbable that any tram operating would lack that critical piece of safety equipment. Thus it is ridiculous to assume that the tram would continue on after the driver has been killed. I refuse to participate further with this preposterous charade.

This reminds me of the northern part of the current Prästgatan, “Priests Street”, in the Old Town in Stockholm. Before 1885 that part of Prästgatan was called Helvetesgränd, “Hell’s ally”, which is an amazing street name in Swedish, and a brilliant metal album name in English. The entire block was known as Helvetet, “Hell”. This is the location: maps.app.goo.gl/DGCAT98vZ7e8HwDUA This is where the gallows were located.

But these laws are not anti immigration, they are anti freedom in general.

Almost, it is more like they hear it, they don’t see it.

That has actually been answered. Beavers react to the sound of running water. Researchers put a speaker playing the sound of running water in an area with beavers and came back to find the speaker buried in a beaver dam structure.

I keep a pair of ear defenders and a large pack of ear plugs in my car, just incase I decide to go planespotting, then I can also help friends who forgot to bring theirs.

They do this every few years, when the contract is up for negotiation, M$ will make a way cheaper option, and they will switch back

Sigh, I truly meant it as a a way of saying that I don’t care if I am being monitored, I will keep protesting and posting about them.

I am happy to accept being the most in the wrong, it is not unreasonable to read it that way.

Only due to a mistake, my intention was to to try and show solidarity with the people actually affected by ICE, by saying that I didn’t care if ICE monitored my posts, that it would not prevent me from protesting further. As I woke up this morning, I realized my mistake and have tried to rectify it.

Fair, my comment was rude and arrogant, though I maintain that it was a (failed) attempt at showing contempt toward ICE, telling them that I will keep critisising even if they monitor my account.

I am fully aware and horrified about chat control, I am doing my best to work against it, please see my other responses to understand what went wrong with my comment.

This entire comment chain is a just a mis understanding, I made a bad attempt at being edgy and note that I would not stop protesting ICE just because my account may be monitored. I can now see how it fell flat, and I am sorry for the miscommunication.

Ok, clearly there has been a miscommunication here. I was trying to say that I don’t care about if I am monitored, I will keep protesting ICE. I did try and say it a bit edgy which was wrong, I can see that now. I am sorry for the miscommunication.

No? I thought I was pretty clear,I was trying to say that I don’t care about if they monitor my account, I will keep protesting ICE on social media

Don’t really care, I am a Swede in Sweden, with no desire to visit the US in the forseeable future.

Yes, but I don’t know if any software on windows can actually send ctrl+alt+del to windows given that the key combo is a system interrupt sequence…

Not all laptops have the ability to remap keys in the BIOS/UEFI

I hate that they defined a Copilot key on standard keyboards

Back in my early school years, I attended a school built on top of a hill, it had an exciting school yard, it had a wooded area, a small field, two football pitches and a secluded steep stone staircase where few teachers could see you. Anyway, during one winter I was down at the bottom end of the staircase playing during recess, and there was a brown plastic pipe leaking warm water coming out of the ground. I was fascinated by how it melted the snow, so I started playing with the water, it went on for a few days, possibly a week, only then did I suddenly see a tissue paper and brown stuff coming out of the pipe… Yeah, it was a pipe with raw sewage that I had played with, shortly thereafter the pipe was dealt with by the school. I am 37 now, and I was seldom sick as I grew up…

Sometimes when my room is very cold, I sleep with socks on, though the rest usually stays off.

20 at home, 18 when away.

I am currently building a server, I have five things left to get before I can use it, two 8TB HDDs, two 2TB SSDs and a SATA controller card. I bought RAM for ut this summer a 2x 16GB Kingston kit, that kit has increased in cost by 1000SEK, insane…

Ah, I am currently looking for a Trimui Brick Hammer, though I may start with an Anbernic device and they are easier to come by for me…
