Or, malicious compliance by someone with a moral compass. Best is to somehow leak documents wholesale. But if that’s not possible, I think the next best way to all but guarantee that the information gets out is to do a lousy job censoring, and let “The Internet” do the rest. It also makes the administration look even more stupid, especially in the eyes of technically minded folks.
But yeah, not the best and brightest, that’s certainly a possibility.
If Gentoo can be both Chad and Schizo, Slack should definitely be in the Chad category too.
I mean, it’s Torvalds’ distro of choice iirc, which should count for something.
Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat would ask for various airplane specs (“what is the service ceiling of an F-4E?,” “what is the ferry range of a MiG-15?”), and you had to flip through a booklet to find the answer.
You could copy the book, but it was fairly long so I guess the friction kept you in check.
I would probably add “transmit power” in there somewhere, but I guess if you’re assuming regulatory limits then it’s not a big variable.
Global Outbreak World Response Outreach Network, perhaps?
Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.
Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that’s not the case!
For old stuff though…yeah, I’d hope it’s not moving backwards :)
Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).
VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.
A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It’s easy to forward over ssh though.
You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.
San Francisco’s current trolly bus fleet are from New Flyer, a Canadian company, though they use German motors.
In CA and we pay north of $40k in daycare alone for each kid.

200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.
Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I’d be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I’m sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.
But once you got that XFree86 config dialed in, life was awesome.
(Ok looks like Xorg has been around for 21 years, so maybe you were running it instead.)
Per the Linux kernel coding style:
Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.
Mac at work. Yabai+sketchybar is no i3wm replacement, but it works ok.
My .zshrc is basically the same as I use on my personal computers, and aside from a few coreutils differences it…kinda just works. I have apt aliased to brew so I can feel more at home.
Stock terminal works fine—I use xterm on Linux, so I’m used to relying on tmux for nice features anyway.
Basically, I miss the window manager, but practically speaking that’s a about it. (I obviously have xscreensaver installed!)
Slack got me through college on an ancient (even at the time) ThinkPad 600e. Good times!
I had a suite of scripts to log in to the university Linux cluster, download the kernel source and out-of-tree modules (required for the PCMCIA WiFi adapter), compile it, and rsync it back to my laptop.
nc is useful. For example: if you have a disk image downloaded on computer A but want to write it to an SD card on computer B, you can run something like
user@B: nc -l 1234 | pv > /dev/$sdcard
And
user@A: nc B.local 1234 < /path/to/image.img
(I may have syntax messed up–also don’t transfer sensitive information this way!)
Similarly, no need to store a compressed file if you’re going to uncompress it as soon as you download it—just pipe wget or curl to tar or xz or whatever.
I once burnt a CD of a Linux ISO by wgeting directly to cdrecord. It was actually kinda useful because it was on a laptop that was running out of HD space. Luckily the University Internet was fast and the CD was successfully burnt :)
Well f2k me, T1L, t4s!
