Boy that’s the most sanewashed way saying ‘whipped up a mob that wanted to hang him’ I think I’ve ever seen. Kudos, I guess?

There’s no such thing as too much seeding.
Well, maybe the 85tb of Ubuntu 24.04 I’ve done is too much, but I mean, whatever.
(I’ve got basically everything I’ve downloaded in the last 7 years seeding, some 6000 torrents. qBittorrent isn’t the most happy with this, but it’s still working, if using a shit-ton of RAM at this point.)

“They say”, but they’re right. Ryzen chips do have worse idle power usage, but you’re talking about 10w or so, at most.
And uh, if you were looking at an X-series CPU, I can’t see how that 10w is a dealbreaker, because you were already looking at a shockingly inefficient chip.
They were NiCad batteries, which would leak, and then completely eat and destroy the charging/temperature board.
Source: I have one and uh, they did and it’s completely useless because it won’t power on without the batteries attached, and I’m at a total loss as to how to or where even I could get/fix that charging board.
Shame since you’re right, it’s super cool, but must-have-a-battery was a horrible design choice that’s made repairing it seem like it’s probably not possible - I’d have to buy another one to get a working charger board at which point, well, I have a 2nd one so why fix the first?
Debian stable is great: it’s, well, stable. It’s well supported, has an extremely long support window, and the distro has a pretty stellar track record of not doing anything stupid.
It’s very much in the install-once-and-forget-it category, just gotta do updates.
I run everything in containers for management (but I’m also running something like 90 containers, so a little more complex than your setup) and am firmly of the opinion that, unless you have a compelling reason to NOT run something in a container, just use the containerized version.
I really, really wanted one as a kid, but they were quite expensive. Like, actual-real-computer expensive, if I recall correctly.
The good news is the tech pretty much ended up in the S60 Nokia phones, of which I had uh, a lot. And some of them even had normal keypads, and not one from whatever meth-induced fever dream some guy in Finland had.
Oh that’d be nice, but you just know it’ll be "Damn Obama! Why did he blow up those nukes!’ without a single hint of self-reflection.
fax the FBI their plans
Opsec is not the fediverse’s strenth, no. Anything you post here is going right to the FBI, courtesy of Palantir and Peter Thiel.
Anything you post online ANYWHERE is likely to end up there: if it’s not e2e encrypted, then you just told the FBI, and even if it is, you probably shouldn’t trust that it’s actually secure unless there’s public audits showing that it is, and you’re using a reproducible build from verified source.
…also, unrelated rant: stop taking pictures of people at protests and posting it online. Why is everyone doing state security’s job for them?
Look, if you can post your way out of this, then we should have been able to post our way into not having to.
But, judging from the outcomes of all THAT posting, I strongly doubt there’s a single thing anyone can post anywhere that’ll suddenly make people decide to wake up one day and go ‘Oh my! What a mess, I should throw away my entire world view and do ________!’ because that’s very much not how people actually work.
Best case, there’s enough pain and blood to nudge the lazy fucks into doing something in 2 years, but really, that doesn’t do anyone any good for the next 2 years and also very much isn’t assured: at least some of the lazies are actually in favor of this and the facists have a pretty good grip on the media and social network effects, so you can’t make a toot and expect it’ll do shit.
We’re past the polite letters to the editor stage, and in the misery and violence phase, even if it’s still being mostly coated in decorum.
I still have one!
It’s broken because it was designed by crazy people.
(The battery is required, the battery failed in such a way that it leaked and ate everything on the battery charger/temperature board, so uh, I have to find a replacement controller board and then put a new battery on it and I have to admit I just haven’t been motivated enough to try to find a non-destroyed board from a tiny production run that’s like 30 years old now.)
I don’t think you’d need to use an A-series SOC, considering the power usage of even a M4 is basically a rounding error - and they’ve already got M-series stuff running passively jammed into a tiny case anyways.
I’d be on something like that immediately, but I somehow doubt Apple will ever make a 12" Macbook ever again, given that the majority of people seem to like the 13" airs just fine.
Love to be wrong, though.
Man, I had one of those. And I hated every minute with it.
It was, by far, the slowest “modern” computer I ever used, and I legit do not miss the whole netbook thing with slow-ass atom CPUs and the world’s slowest hard drives.
(They probably would have been far less awful with a more modern SSD option, but well, that wasn’t a thing soooo…)
I’m the same way. If it’s split license, then it’s a matter of when and not if it’s going to have some MBA come along and enshittify it.
There’s just way, way too much prior experience where that’s what eventually will happen for me to be willing to trust any project that’s doing that, since the split means they’re going to monetize it, and then have all the incentive in the world to shit all over the “free” userbase to try to get them to convert.
I’m not a huge fan of the email analogy, because nobody knows how email works who isn’t a tech nerd anyways.
See: people who ask what your gmail is, not what your email is.
I’ve started explaining it as picking a user and server name you like, and then that’s how and where you login to the ‘fediverse’.
Less tech people have seemed to follow that at least, since it’s a much simpler thing they can understand: they get what a username is, they get what logging in is, and they get that a username and a login lets you access something.
And before everyone comes in with why that’s a horrible explanation, I know. It’s terrible, but it’s terrible enough that I’ve got family members who can’t keep left and right clicking sorted out to understand what I’m trying to say and how all these things are related.
I have to ask: what j2me games would you actually want to play?
Like, given you have enough compute to run the actual version of most of these games, (why play the GTA java mobile thing when you can just run all the actual GTA games?) what is there out there that’s a game that’s worth playing on its own merits?
Fedora was always a bleeding-edge distro and never all that stable or reliable.
The problem is RedHat/IBM have been fucking with everything, and Fedora has suffered along with everything else and it’s just kinda decayed a bit over the past few years.
…Ubuntu went to shit at least a decade ago, if not longer.
TBH it’s on message for them.
The guy they had to lead the DOE last time had no idea what they did, either. It’s nice to see that at least some things don’t change.
New business opportunity!
New fintech startup, Wankr, provides loans at 2400% to pay your wank-fines.
…Now to get $300 million in Series-A funding.
Not voting was a vote for Nazis, so yeah, the ~40% that did not vote are being clumped in with them.
The only way you could make that worse is if Palantir bought them all first.
