But he killed the guy who killed Hitler.

Here: I made the most depressing countdown.

OrderS of magnitude? How heavy does this guy think we are?

Yeah, adding a separate microarchitecture like amd64v3 would be a separate item. They might be able to do that with amd64v3 overlay repos that only contain packages that most benefit from the newer microarchitecture.

Personal stuff goes in ~/Projects

Work stuff goes in ~/Work/Code

My laptop had 2 USB4 with type C connectors, a USB 3.2 type A connector and a USB 3.2 type C connector, but recently it’s had an HDMI connector instead of the 3.2 type C.

It’s a distilled version that becomes a potion in your stomach. There are several versions of this, my favourite of which is “instant bubbling potion, just add water”

Advocating against voting for Democrats, no matter what the particular language, is advocating for actions that will increase the chances of Trump getting elected, of Republicans having majorities and of Israel’s further escalation in Palestine, in addition to all the other bad things Republicans will do.

The time to move Democrats on the issues is not now. Those times were during the primaries (in which I voted uncommitted on the presidential level and for pro-palestinian candidates on other levels) and after the election through things like lobbying.

If there are particular third-party candidates who have any reasonable chance of winning rather than being a spoiler (I don’t know of any), it’s reasonable to advocate to their electorate that one vote for them instead of the Democratic candidate. However, if one supports Palestinians and opposes genocide, the best vote in the presidential election and in most national or state elections on November 5 is for the Democratic candidate. That’s not a “vote blue no matter who” opinion or an “all you need to do is vote for the Dems” opinion. It’s harm reduction in the short term so that we can ensure that there actually are medium and long terms for as many people as possible.

This is one of the reasons I recommend using any provider that provides you with OpenStack when moving to the cloud.

The OpenStack website has a list of cloud providers who use OpenStack for their clouds. https://www.openstack.org/marketplace/public-clouds/

It’s still worth voting for those down-ballot items. I’m in a very blue area of a swing state and we currently have some local ballot proposals that are so poorly written they’ll get the city mired in lawsuits for years to come.

I didn’t make this meme at all.

Especially if you’re using raid5 for multi disk.

Ann Arbor doesn’t want him.

Fortunately she’s in Davidson county, which is very blue. After 2020 the Republican state legislature redistricted in a way that cracks Nashville (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee’s_congressional_districts#/media/File%3ATennessee’s_Congressonal_Districts_(2023-).png). That got Nashville voters pretty pissed.

Kinda amazing how some people would rather spend their energy denying well-known facts than just admit that both players are kinda crappy…

Some of the worst landlords in my city are locals who rent out 1-2 houses to students.

The least bad landlord AFAICT is a local corporation that mostly rents out commercial space but has a few residential rentals too.

Well yeah. I had all sorts of mental health problems I was struggling to deal with, but now I’m struggling to make the perfect desktop configuration instead.

Still pretty important given how many systems are using the 1.0 series.
