If it ain't fun, you're not doing it right.

Yes, it could've been worse indeed

You can also buy laptops with Linux installed from major laptop manufacturers these days. Dell and Lenovo, at least.

When you do, it works well.

'als maar kan' literally means 'as but can', but the sentence idiomatically translates to 'as corrupt as possible'

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.

"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."

"Are you sure?"

"You think it frivolous?"

"No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."

"Would my life change?"

"You ask that every time."

I helped my uncle jack off a horse.

Sorry.

I am giving up drinking for a month. Sorry, that came out wrong. I am giving up. Drinking for a month.

Try managing it when you move servers.

My current Algo:

- Get the new server
- Add the new server to SPF, and add it as low-prio MX (but don't run anything on port 25, yet)
- wait a month
- cross fingers
- pray to the gods of email. Like, *really* hard
- switch servers, but keep the old server around, just in case
- monitor results
- if problems occur: switch back and fix

Nog één keertje dan. Speciaal voor de Cyber Security Raad met hun FUD brief over AI aanvallen:

AI ransomware bestaat niet. Je lekke firewall wel.

Dank voor uw aandacht.

They'll do what they did after the dot com bubble burst: GTFO, wait a decade or so, come back and do it all over again

The msdn article mentions that superscript digits are recognised as digits and therefore also illegal, but your repository doesn't have them.

COM¹.txt (and 2, 3 but my phone doesn't allow me to type those in superscript) should be in it too.

May you live in interesting times... https://no01.substack.com/p/march-19-21-god-is-a-comedian Three weeks into the Iran war, reality has passed through the looking glass, out the other side, and is now selling tickets to the gift shop. What follows is not satire. Satire requires exaggeration, and you cannot exaggerate something that is already operating at maximum absurdity. This is simply the news, and nothing but the news. Told straight, in a universe that has clearly stopped taking its medication.

@VoltEuropa
Just remember what happened in Hawaii in the late 19th century: non Hawaiian citizens were allowed to vote and even run for elections, which then resulted in the Hawaiian government being overtaken from within by American ministers who were loyal to the US, not to the kingdom of Hawaii.

Allow non citizens to vote, sure, but within reason!

@liw
That's probably impossible.

Douglas Adams said it best when he said,

> There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

@bkuhn
I'm not that frequent a flyer, but frequent enough that I managed to get on the lowest loyalty rung with a single airline, barely.

Unfortunately that airline is Emirates, which was a good choice in South Africa until the recent exploits of the trumpet.

Considering focusing on Star alliance now, but not sure if my three SA<->Europe flights a year will be sufficient to get similar status...

@miekg
One advantage which FreeBSD has over Linux is that due to its smaller community, they can focus more on certain things. Linux has people pulling it in all kinds of, sometimes conflicting, ways. This is not as much of a problem for FreeBSD.

@miekg
There are benchmarks, e.g., https://openbenchmarking.org/result/2406146-NE-2406131NE13&hni=1&sgm=1&sor#r-542e6001bf05f1eaa298d6ffc8001da894c3a653, in 'geometric mean of all benchmarks' at the bottom shows FreeBSD on top. The difference is small enough to not matter to most people, but large enough that if you run gazillions of machines it might matter.
