If I wanted to give it a bold facelift I’d just use the top one and remove the letters. Gives it an arrogant, “if you have to ask what this is…” vibe, which is probably a good thing for them.

IIRC that was the release that cleaned up the make output substantially.

I really don’t think it’s the devs driving these decisions…

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.

But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.

How do we get everyone angry.

This is the problem — taking away my coffee makes me angry, but I’ll be too tired to do anything about it.

Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great…). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too…and good luck finding many AAA open source games.

While “the system” is absolutely at fault for this, lifestyle creep — and changing finances — is very real.

For example, if you can almost afford a house, and your rental is modest, you’re probably not spending all of your take-home. But if you make just a little bit more it might make financial sense to buy a house, stretching your budget to the max. Short term this really hurts, but long term may end up being a savvy decision.

Opting for a hefty mortgage can be risky, but can also pay off in the long run — especially in a place like California where property taxes are basically fixed at time of purchase.

Come see the vise grips inherent in the system! Help! Help! I’m being drill pressed!

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

Unfortunate abbreviation…

Remote backup server would be my suggestion.

Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend’s or family’s place.

I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.

My headcanon for The Matrix’s “humans are batteries” is that it’s the machines’ perverse interpretation of this — killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives “meaning” in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) “battery” somehow satisfies the rules.

It’s a very big stretch, I’ll admit…

I’m guessing it’s because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

Duh, just read it back from /dev/random

You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.

Just stick to elements lighter than iron and you’ll be fine.

That’s how I started using Linux — big book with CD, I think it was “RedHat Linux Secrets 5.4” or something. 2.0 or 2.2 kernel.

Honestly, it was fantastic. And almost all of it is still relevant today. (Some of the stuff on xfree86 and the chap/pap stuff not so much.)

But it gave a really solid (IMHO) intro to a Linux/*NIX system, a solid overview of coreutils, etc. And while LILO has been long replaced, and afaik /sys didn’t exist at the time, it formed a good foundation.

I’ll refrain from commenting on any init system changes that have taken place since then.

Handy back-of-the-envelope is that a year is about pi*10^7 seconds.

Also…hate to be the guy to mention leap years but…

If you have a TV, you likely already have the receiving device. Antenna can cost, or you can play around with wire length and orientation.
