I always thought be was Varicose vein/venous insufficiency Linux… At least that is what it is for me

I think “technical” is a bit of a stretch… But who doesn’t like a good cat meme?

Melange of course. Really gives you that baked in sand worm flavor without having to catch one.

Acid burn has a laptop with a “p6” chip, and the mention how risc is superior. From what I remember around that time there was talk of Intel chips being risc with a translation unit changing cisc instructions to risc, so you had the compatibility of one but the speed of the other.

The number of .gov email address found in janitor section of the DB dump when the site was hacked not too long ago perhaps.

The only thing I figured out before the main characters (so far) has been

There was a ton of foreshadowing but I’m still pretty proud of myself .

Maybe your right and I am coming at it from the wrong angle.

But several side discussions in the book have prompted major philosophical discussions with my daughter… Primarily the one about 3 being a prime number. Is that just how he universe works? Or it only prime because of the way we define a prime number? I think it was like a half paragraph afterthought in the book but it is an interesting thought experiment.

Lol.

It’s funny… I started Cryptonomicon thinking it was going to be daunting… But I tore through it in about 3 days it was just so captivating. I think I have reread it 3 or 4 times.

I can tell you now, no matter how Anathem ends, satisfyingly or not, I doubt I will ever pick it up again.

I tell almost everyone, scifi fans or not, they should read the cryptonomicon tho.

Some people want to watch the world burn.

In order to improve your accuracy might I suggest:

alias i='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias s='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias sl='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
alias ll='sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
...

Etcetera. It will make sure you are punished for typos

Balatro is rogue like? Maybe I don’t understand the genre as much as I thought.

Hack the planet!

Underrated comment.

My company uses a VPN where the client is so slow inside the VM it is functionally useless. 99%of the time I can still get away with it because my connection amounts to a couple of telnet sessions, but when I actually need data or a spreadsheet or something transferred local, I need to fire up windows directly to snag it.

Sonicwall has a VPN client that will run fine on Linux (or so they say), but the company won’t switch over to it. And sonicwall considers the windows only version eol and won’t add a Linux version

I got tired of windows updates breaking my dual boot. After some research I found that it’s possible to have two uefi partitions: one for windows and one for Linux. It’s not standard but there is nothing expressly written into the efi spec that prohibits it. And it just works. My bios doesn’t care, and works with them both just fine.

I only use Windows for that 1% of business stuff I can’t accomplish in a vm under windows. Invariably after I boot into widows once ever 3 months it installs so.e update and would kill my ability to boot into Linux. Since setting up 2 partitions I haven’t had this problem.

The best advice I got was to periodically delete your current account and create a new one. Then remove any association you have with the old account: history, password managers, etc. Yes, that accounts comments may live on for ever in some archive, but removing your association with it goes a long way towards plausible deniability. If your super paranoid only access Lemmy through tor going forward.

Airvpn can generate a pure wireguard (or openvpn) config. No vendor specific GUI needed. I have several boxes using it and have had zero issues. Plus their support is awesome.

Loops.video maybe?

How long until we deploy troops to Russia to help in their invasion of the Ukraine?
