For me it’s not about the size, it’s about the understanding. I’d really like to understand what everything on my system does and why it’s there. It seems impossible with modern systems. Back in the '90s I needed a secure email relay - it had lilo, kernel, init, getty, bash, vi, a few shell utils (before busybox…), syslogd and sendmail. I’m not sure any more as it was a long time ago, but I think I even statically linked everything so there was no libc. I liked that system.
Oh, I know how they work - we have an ET-8550. I just didn’t realise generic ink could be so cheap. My wife sells prints of her photographs and artwork so is a bit “cautious” about her ink and only uses genuine Epson at $25 per 70ml. I just looked on Amazon and found that generic ink can be had for around $6-7 per 70ml ($40 for a 6-pack) - wow!
What ink are you getting for $12?? Even allowing for quite a bit of poetic licence, this seems ridiculously cheap.
It blows my mind that they need to do this with physical phones. I would have thought they could virtualise/emulate everything needed.
That made me laugh for real. Mainly because it bought back memories - I’m pretty sure I first heard it from my dad - about 50 years ago.
What’s going to stop you from taking over?
Sane, rational people don’t want to take over anything. We just want to vote for reasonable governments, let said government get on with governing and get on with our lives. We don’t want to be bombarded with all this political bullshit everywhere we turn - MAGA stickers and Fuck Biden stickers, you can’t open any comment thread on any public social media post without some idiot blaming Biden for the most ridiculous things.
Since the growth of the internet and social media these right wing nazi fucktards have figured out they can weaponise their followers to take over anything at any level and with your attitude to this site that’s exactly what I predict will happen there.
Wow - I’d forgotten about Flickr
Food looks good!
You clearly didn’t use it for long enough - I was “stuck” with it for over 20 years. I wouldn’t say I liked it, but it was so familiar I couldn’t dislike it.
It’s a good read. I have aphantasia and really struggle with reading non fiction. I was able to read, and enjoy, this in a couple of sittings.
That used to be my approach, but since I got symmetric 1Gb/s fibre I’ve found that if I leave it uncapped anything I download completes in a few minutes and I don’t download anything popular so I don’t have to worry about uploading too much.
Ha, good point. I’m showing my age here. I understand our modern phone screens have resolution approaching that of good print, but when I think of a screen my brain still defaults to something like a 14" VGA at 57PPI :-)
I’m curious if this relies on the fact that we’re looking at on pixelated screens to work. But not so curious that I’ll print it out to check.
I used to think that there was hope for humanity. Now, in my late 50s, I’m realising we’re fucked.
We’ve always been fucked by the mega rich that own and control everything but, with more and more people trying to survive here every day, things are getting exponentially worse.
There is no indication at all that any of these rich fucks have any appreciation of the fact that we can’t grow indefinitely and we seem doomed to hit peak population (around the year 2100?) in Mad Max, rather than Star Trek, style.
I’m glad I won’t be here to see it, but sad that my grandchildren probably will.
Yeah - a few years ago I moved to an area where the Robins returning meant the start of spring. They were here last week.
I’m in the process of replacing all my mp3 (including a lot of V0 and 320) with FLAC. I know that most of the time I can’t tell the difference, but I did some testing and in some scenarios with some music I could tell. And, at the size of music files, disk is cheap.
I assume enforcing the no photography rule?
My son has just signed up to a new retailer where he pays wholesale rates (he understands the risks) and for half an hour yesterday afternoon they were paying him 13¢/kWh to take it!
I’m in a similar situation - I’m a (retired) Unix admin and have Linux servers at home but I’m still on windows for my desktop because of OneDrive. If you use it as intended, it works really well. I can login to my laptop, my phone or either of my wife’s PC’s and all my stuff is just there.
Yes, I’ve tried nextcloud and it’s close, but the windows sync client is (was?) broken - the upload speed throttling logic is broken and it was going to take ages to sync my data. I went to the nextcloud community and it seemed to be a known issue that know one cares about because the sync just happens in the background and it’s done when it’s done.
As I typed this I realised that if I move to Linux desktop I don’t care about the windows sync client :-) So now I’ve just got the issue that I won’t get my wife off windows and if we’re paying for 5TB of cloud storage, I might as well use it. Yes, I know there are ways to use OneDrive on Linux, but it doesn’t look as seamless and I’d be always concerned that Microsoft will do something to break it.
