I’m pretty certain the this image is an AI retouch of this origional (click on the source for a much higher res version). It looks like it changed his nose, the texture of his skin, his outfit and a bunch of misc small stuff. Completely unnecessary slop.

Where did you get “he must be a woman” out of that?

Anyone else reading this in 2037?

Does anyone have a direct link? It seems that my PornHub search skills are a bit rusty.

If I had those, here’s what I would do:

First, for both an optional but nice quality of life improvement would be to replace the HDDs with SSDs. Boot up and file access times will be much snappier.

Congratulations! You have a nice foundation for a home server running linux. You could plug in a USB RAID of some sort ( example) and go full pirate running the *arr stack. You could set it up as a HTPC using the IR receiver with Kodi and whatever adapter is needed for your TV. You could set up a developers server, running git and whatever tool you find useful. You could set up https://nextcloud.com/ and self host most of the necessities of modern productivity. Or all of the above.

Congratulations! You have a great dedicated low-distraction writing and working machine. I have a pair of similar, though slightly lower end, laptops. I got a replacement battery for one of them from Ali, and run a minimal Debian + i3 setup on it. It’s great for taking with me to write, whether code, gaming notes, creative writing or whatever else. The modern web is pretty terrible on it, which takes away a ton of distractions, but still usable enough if I need it in a pinch. I also have it set up for music, both local mp3s and streaming from my home server. It also runs a ton of classic games through DOSBOX. My other one I use as a sandbox, testing out alternative OSs, weird setups and whatnot. I haven’t upgraded its HDD or battery yet, but my older daughter is wanting to type more when writing due to being left handed, so I’m thinking about setting it up as a dedicated machine for her.

I’ve been an embedded developer for coming up on 20 years at this point, and recently went through a job hunt. Of the three that made it to the offer stage, two used Rust almost exclusively in their embedded stack and one used Rust in their embedded LInux stack and was trying to decide if they were going to use rust in their bare-metal/RTOS stack. I ended up at on of the Rust places, though I had no Rust experience. I have to say, while I do find many parts of the syntax too cute by half, in general I’m pretty happy with it as an embedded language. My current target architectures are ARM Cortex-M7 and Cortex-A53. In general toolchain, and debugger support has been good, peripheral support has been ok but could use improvement.

Taking a look at the bottom circuit, the killers on the left have the supply voltage across them, as does the resistive load. The ones on the right have fuck all going on, so may be a Magic Switch.

This has been considered by the Linux community literally since the day Linus first announced his kernel on Usenet. The primary defense is the GPL and related licenses which legally protect against that kind of abuse by forcing derived works to also be opened under the same license.

This is why, as much as I support the general idea of uutils, I’m deeply suspicious the it is under a MIT license instead of the GPL.

Huh, I had never considered deaf slang before. Is there somewhere to read up on this?

Just install Mint. Honestly, “gamer” Linux is a pretty silly concept. You can install Steam and Lutris on any distro which gets you access to basically all modern PC gaming. Even something as slow to embrace change as Debian has recent enough drivers and kernels available.

On the other hand, the city put up signs years ago near the HD nearest me to point out where the day labor gathering place is, as well as some car barriers to keep them from getting hit. As far as I can tell it’s worked out pretty well. Next time I need to move more stuff than my back will allow I’m planning on hiring someone.

The difference between letting the engineers use all the sensors instead of trying to get by with only cameras for Elons ego is astounding.

I’m curious, what AI features do you use and why? I can’t even figure out what one is supposed to do.

Yoga clothes?

To be fair, he was almost certainly using Arabic numerals.

My version is definitely wordier, but I like it.

add-alias() {
  if [[ -z "$1"  ||  -z "$2" ]]; then
    echo "Useage: add-alias <alias_name> \"<command_to_alias>\""
    return 1
  fi
  echo "alias $1='$2'" >> ~/.bash_aliases
  source ~/.bash_aliases
  echo "Alias '$1' for command '$2' added and sourced."
  
}

And, of course, the first thing I test it with is $ add-alias alias-add add-alias.

What?!? Someone played with the English language in order to make lyrics rhyme and scan? How terrible!! glances at Shakespeare

Whenever my ex was low on gas she would park in the driveway in such a fashion as to block me in so I would have to move her car and probably end up just taking it in to work and get gas on the way home.

There is a huge amount of C code underlying most things, including the Linux kernel, most compilers, the Python interpreter, etc. At the same time, C doesn’t have dynamic arrays as a built in type but they are often critical to the operation of all of those. So, C developers keep implementing them in specialized ways for all of their applications.
