I’ve switched over to one disk redundancy to stretch out my spinning rust. If SSDs come down just a little bit more it’ll be worth it to replace my array. Just hoping two drives doesn’t die until then.

Realistically, it’s only a matter of time until Steam becomes as enshittificated as any other services. There is profit to be made from Steam selling advertising space and customer data. They can either choose to capitalize on the profits that are in front of them, or allow another company to and take that capital from them. For a business it’s not a matter of what’s right and wrong anymore but consume or be consumed. If Steam isn’t willing to do that someone else will be willing to play the long game and do it. Then it’ll be only a matter of time until Steam gets acquired by another company and then it’s game over.
Give it a few more months and ads will be back. They dropped us in boiling water and expected us to just accept it. Microsoft will just slowly boil us next time.
Small brain move: install Windows as a guest on a Linux host. Rip out so much of it’s guts it can’t show any ads and barely works at all. Declare victory over the desecrated husk of Microsoft Windows.

I think so. Like I said, I have a very basic understanding of it. There are definitely a lot of people who know more about this than I do.
From my very basic understanding, yeah that’s basically what it does. However it accounts for a whole lot more into adding or subtracting from UTC. Timezones aren’t absolute, they’re political. Timezones have weird rules, and history that needs to be somehow expressed in the code to get the right time. That’s what’s sets tz_database apart from just looking at a map and saying it’s +7 UTC.
Yeah, well that’s just, like, your opinion, man. (You mentioned the word opinion in a post referencing The Big Lebowski. I had to. Thank you for coming to my shit post.)
That’s when district management gets involved.
Problem: There are 19 sources of truth for this information
Solution: There are now 20 sources of truth for this information
C’mon I’m smarter than that, my password isn’t 1234. It’s 1235, what do you think I am, an idiot?
Neiche application like old industrial equipment. Sure 90% of it is well documented and properly sourced. Still there’s always that one piece of equipment purchasing got because it was cheap with no documentation and just a safety placard from the 90s. Regardless it needs to be integrated and you bet your ass no one has ever searched that. Then you’re back to basics, sometimes even BASIC.
I think people underestimate how good those self-service photo booths are or that they print more than photos. It’ll print whatever you tell them so as long as it can open the file.
My first job right out of college I was writing assembly for some epically old industrial equipment. That shit runs on its own language that was only ever used on that piece of equipment. Usually x86 but with some wacky modifications. There’s no compiler for that, just a manual the size of a textbook and a million chicken scratch notes in it that’s half covered in grease. I’m so glad I don’t do that anymore.
Part of me wishes I still had my families old 386 or commodore knock-off. Read some of the terrible short stories I wrote, play tanks. I remember when my Mom’s friend came over with a stack of 51/4 floppies and installed a program that played the Loonie Toons theme song with their logo and Buggs Bunny captioned saying “That’s all folks.” It blew my mind, video (sort of) on a computer, how was that even possible. I wondered how they got it to connect to the cable cause no way a computer could do that. Dang I’m getting old lol.
I have to explain to my aunt how to navigate to her external hard drive every time she plugs it in to see or save her pictures. That’s with autoplay. Asking her to click on a script I set up to mount it and click the shortcut to that mount point. No way, it would take 45 minutes on the phone every time. I’m telling her to buy the extended support, cause I’m not going through upgrading her computer again. As long as that malware riddled cesspool stays exactly the same she can use it. Some people are just very bad with technology.
Might be recoverable if you had a live distro ready. Otherwise, o7.
Not a biologist but have to understand some biology and my understanding is that the current consensus is that most of that junk DNA isn’t actually junk and serves some purpose. We just have a very poor understanding of what that is or how it works.
I did the exact same thing.
Then start climbing the pirate ladder me matey. For the capin’s keeps their secrets from us crew, or else it’s the King’s rope for us all.
