@KimPerales Somehow it feels like a good time to experiment with shorting stocks
@polygonalhorse So as always, fuck Instagram!
While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
@purpleidea Québec is really insane like this. I've literally had tellers at the bank tell me in fluent English that sorry they can't help me in English.
@withaveeay It's a paradox. As a tech person, I don't use and refuse to use WhatsApp, but in poorer communities who get it zero rated (for actual completely selfish reasons by the companies) it is actually making a significant positive difference. But also, as they get locked in that eco-system, it eventually cuts them off from the people who are privileged enough not to be there. We really need something proper that's free and open and zero-rated.
"In August 2025, Google announced that starting next year, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google." What this means for your rights, and how you can help: https://keepandroidopen.org
@debby Usually more rights for others means more rights for everyone as a total!
@demoographics There are even mirrors, forks and various off-line distributions, so it takes a lot to take out Wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
@UncleDuke1969 Are you unporkgiven II?
@alienghic @majorlinux I want to switch to EV too because my home has plenty of solar power, so then I can eliminate my fuel bill, which would be great! But extending the life of a petrol vehicle is better for the environment since such a big part of a car's lifetime emmissions occure during manufacturing (no matter what type of vehicle it is). So when this one ever become unrepairable, I'll probably get some BYD (probably the Dolphin Surf).
@alienghic @majorlinux I have an old A3 that turns 20 years old in a few months. It still runs like a new car and I'll admit I've had lots of fixes done, but still significanlty cheaper by factors than buying a new car. If you have a decent old car and take care of it, it will take care of you financially!
@juliank my experience was the same. Beautiful visuals and landscapes... But what's the point again?
@ben Aliexpress
@simple_sabotage does this manual try to sabotage the saboteur? Have you ever tried catching a dozen moths when you actually need a moth!?
@jlecour I use the zfs-dkms package, and I don't use zfs for /
Sometimes it looks like people really want to demonize raidz2 in favour of using sets of mirrors when you have 4 or 6 disks. At home I use raidz2 on my machines because I care a bit more about any 2 disks being able to fail rather than it being Russian Roulette after the first disk fails, and I haven't ran into any performance issues whatsoever, even when moving large amounts of data around, installing to multiple VMs on those filesystems or deleting huge amounts of files.
