Asteroid city? Really? That movie was so far up its own ass.

I ran rca jacks throughout the house. These are connected to a distribution amp. Then I have cheap PC speakers plugged into that from the main receiver. This is structured wiring so they can be changed to Ethernet if necessary.

Usually I listen to the news in the morning while showering.

Another way to do it is make dongles for unused phone jacks. Just make sure they aren’t plugged into the Telco as a landline.

Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.

I’m getting old and am a whitewater kayaker. You have to go where the water is which means a lot of long road trips and long weekends. Setting up and tearing down camp constantly wears you down. Now I pull in. Sleep. Can drive part way and sleep at a truck stop. Much nicer. Mine has the bed over the garage so bikes and snowboards can just live there all the time too. Most creek and freestyle boats fit inside too until I get around to putting the racks on. Then I’ll also have an awning and solar.

I keep my paid off subie around, but I do like driving the camp converted van around because I can just sit and relax without having to go all the way home.

If you have the background and get the right head hunter, you can get sponsored for your TS/SCI. I used to work for a place…

I will tell you, however, that working in a SCIF is not as awesome as it looks on TV.

Usenet and IRC were the good ole times.

See if there’s a way to disable power save for your audio driver module.

I had to do this for Intel for example

#/etc/modprobe.d/audio_disable_powersave.conf
 options snd_hda_intel power_save=0

I actually prefer generics. But because I’m a fat ass, I haven’t been keeping soda at the house.

Sendmail + Mimedefang + Spamassassin + Dovecot + Sieve

For calendar and contacts I’m using radicale.

Authentication is via ldap.

This solution admittedly requires a bit of experience and knowledge of how it all works. It blows the doors off most bundled or commercial things you’ll find though.

I host my own.

• For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
• In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
• for a terminal ctl-alt-t
• alt-f2 to execute a command with history

Used to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.

I had 2 cats. That was a good number of cats. Then a stray put 5 kittens under my garage. I found a home for 2. I now have 5 cats. 5 cats is too many cats.

Patents should simply be a monopoly on an idea for enough time to gather resources to develop that idea’s prototype. I know it doesn’t work that way, but it should. They really should be there for small inventors, not giant corps who have plenty of resources, but I digress.

But software itself can implement that prototype without having to build anything. Your ideas can be created directly. We don’t patent math and we don’t patent poetry or even poetic writing structures.

Software and business method patents are utter bullshit.

Fuck software patents and business method patents. Patent the machine. Copyright the instructions to tell the machine what to do if you must.
