I un-licenced the Emily games from my steam library. The writing felt… arrogant? Like, it didn’t matter what you chose you were wrong.
I know what consent is, I don’t need a videogame to do things without mine and then rub it in my face.

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.
My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to ‘upgrade’ to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.
I’m looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don’t seem worth it.
I’m going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I’m not sure they’ll compete with surplus server kit.
I used to think so too, but I’ve got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking ‘crashes’ (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.
I’ve never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.
My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.
She did? Which wife?
If the Russians had not been rude to Musk, and hurt his little ego, SpaceX wouldn’t exist.
I guess we blame the Russians for this too then.
Sounds like they’ve stayed much the same.
There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with. When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.
In a way I’m glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can’t remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.
It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby. I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.
Ahhh Slackware.
Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?
I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.
Forensic data recovery. How many 500GB drives ship to PCs that never use more than 20% of that?
As of January 2024, archive.org claims to have over 99 Petabytes of data stored.
Absolutely. This video does a great job of debunking the myth. There’s a follow-up explaining why higher sampling has a place in audio mastering.
I was too, but as soon as I heard about the acquisition I started diversifying my non production kit for testing. I’ve now got Proxmox installed on an HPE DL380G10 with GPU pass thru, same on an HP Z440, and XenServer 8 installed on a pair of DL380G9 with MSA2040 backing storage.
At home I’ve got both truenas scale and truenas core set up each on a z230.
No matter what happens with the IT department at my office, I’m ready to either meet the new standards here, or go find work elsewhere.
For me, it was an obscure Canadian tv show from the 80s called ‘The Odyssey’ - but I contacted the rights-holders and they sent me a dvd set of the show for $50.
Fun fact: Ryan Reynolds has a small part in it
How obvious is it that it’s a bot?
