NixOS and Home Manager config both ways to get rid of the same thing

I use metric temperature when I talk to my kids. Now they give me a hard time when I give them a Fahrenheit value! Keeps me honest I guess. I’ve also got my oldest using a 24 hour clock.

#7 is my goal owl

It seems like only one side of the ancient rivalry is represented in the comments here. No worries, I’m right there with you.

Oh, good point

The picture looks like an Indian Runner duck to me

That’s a different form

From what I’ve learned revolutions are often accompanied by circumstances where people are desperate due to lack of basic necessities, especially food.

The French revolution was preceded by a serious food shortage. Remember that “let them eat cake” comment? One of the key events, the Women’s March which displaced the king and queen from Versailles, was specifically motivated by demands for food.

The European People’s Spring saw lots of revolutions across Europe in 1848-1849 including in France, Italy, Bavaria, Austria, Hungary. That was about the same time as a continent-wide grain shortage on top of an economic crisis.

The Russian revolution of 1917 came at a time when a combination of WW1, bad leadership, and an extra cold winter led to food shortages, and fuel shortages so people were starving and freezing at the same time.

I think you want to remove the c because that means “create” an archive, and you’re missing a z which applies gzip decompression/compression

Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)

It’s great that the system is so efficient. But things do come up. I once worked with an LSP server that was so hungry that I had to upgrade from 32 to 64gb to stop the OOM crashes. (Tbf I only ran out of memory when running the LSP server and compiler at the same time - but hey, I have work to do!) But now since I’m working in a different area I’m just way over-RAMed.

That’s a good one, and also the first thing I thought of.

There’s also a remake that’s not bad that features Hugh Laurie using his native accent.

Oh interesting! I guess that explains the awkward arrangement of two people holding three cups of coffee between them

Oh yeah - the classic move of saving people from doctors! Everything I know about this is from the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan which suggested that Rasputin likely provided an emotionally-calming influence that probably helped.

It’s likely a myth that Rasputin was sleeping with the czarina. (Although there’s no proof either way.) He had a very close relationship with the czar and czarina because their son had hemophilia, and Rasputin’s presence seemed to help his condition. It was a serious illness, and the parents were desperate for anything that could help. But the hemophilia was a secret so nobody outside the family knew why the czar and czarina kept Rasputin so close despite dangerous rumours that Rasputin was the one running Russian policy. The idea that Rasputin was sleeping with the czarina was a popular theory because Rasputin was a well-known horny motherfucker.

To clarify, the kids that my kids meet at school who want to play Minecraft with them almost exclusively play Bedrock, often on ipads.

One of these days I may get around to trying running a server with GeyserMC which purportedly extends a Java server to let Bedrock users connect.

Yeah, I’d like to be able to set my kids up with Bedrock because that’s the version most other kids play, and it would be great for them to be able to play on servers together. I have run the Android version on Linux in the past using a community launcher, and it worked flawlessly with a mouse and keyboard. But I think there was an authentication change that prevents that from working anymore. It’s very frustrating that they have a Linux version, but they just won’t let us use it.
