Dropped my martini on thinkpad. Dried it out with a cloth the best I could. Nothing happened apart that every time it warmed up it started smelling of Martini

for the downvoters, it’s a song from a Monthy Python movie, so comedy (and great one at that!)

Agree with you, that’s why I buy my butt plugs (and similar toys) with my gmail account! 😁

Proton a few years ago disclosed the IP address of the user of a certain mailbox upon request by LEA. That was enough to get the person found and arrested (I don’t remember what the case was about). They HAVE to comply with these requests, but they DON’T need to log/retain those info ETA: and I was wrong, thanks @Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works to set me straight. But I think the point still stands. I don’t want to be ALWAYS be tied to a VPN, there are some scenarios where I can’t use a VPN.

That was the moment I decided to selfhost my email server.

Quit smoking.

Apart from that, it’s been a clusterfuck.

one of my two screens is aiming for 20 years of (intensive!) service. It’s even still in 4:3 format. I will probably replace it in the next couple of years, if the magic smoke doesn’t escape first!

That’s not how the prison industry works. There’s no money in fixing people if you can use them as unpaid labour.

In countries with proper national health, yes. Source: live in EU and got mine for the cost of the uber to get home.

Yes, but… London has great underground network qnd service as well without the dictatorship. France too. Stockholm as well. Sorry, your argument is based on one data point only.

The underground stations in Prague are great as well!

Hello fellow parent. I feel your anguish. I have star wars and dinosaurs. Tbh I’m not even mad, most of the times… I’d just need some more time in the morning before the uninterrupted stream of words!

That’s fine, I am an evil genius with an army of minions, bring it on!

Well the previous ones were all great, so let’s hope so!

Ok ok, I know it’s a meme, but gentle reminder that :x is :w and :q combined (save and exit). I got taught that in high school (it was a dec unix with real vt120 terminals) and luckily for me I remembered that even if I didn’t touch vi for a few years afterwards.

I assume you have configured raspberry to start the desktop environment when at boot. Also, that this is on the internal lan only. You can run raspiconfig and enable vnc. Then from your laptop run a vnc client and connect to the server.

On dvd yes, they all had the original language plus the dubbed one. Anything out of dvd no. Even when dvb-t came out (digital broadcasting) very few programmes had the original track. Now it’s a bit more common, but not the general rule.

I don’t use ebook readers, just a tablet or my phone, so it was better for my use case.

Yep, hosted via docker, for epub, mobi and pdf. Works great with the librera reader as well.

Or forgetting to enable the third button/wheel in the kernel

Gather around kids, I’ll tell you a story of the olden days. Back when it first came out I installed gentoo, and at the time the recommended process was to start from stage1. And of course I was a true believer and spent a lot of time optimizing cflags. I could get the base system running in maybe half a day, on the third try on average (I was distro hopping a lot). I used gnome at the time, and it wasn’t that bad to bring it up. Less than 24 hours. But if you wanted openoffice (there was no libreoffice at the time), oh boy, you could say goodbye to your system for a good day and then some. Assuming that it didn’t fail and then you had to change cflags, recompile half the system and try again. But man, when it finished the system would fly sooo smooth.
