It was a relative “nobody”

Nobody on Linux uses Chrome, however, and many disable telemetry. We need to normalize small amounts of statistics. Nobody will be able to trace you based on just uname -srpio.

Someone should introduce the Americans to the bicycle… I commute 6km by bike, and that’s considered a short commute. And before you complain about missing infrastructure: a lot of our bike paths are just painted on as well.

Duolingo for some reason outputs its sound effects as Media, so they still play if your phone is on silent, and interrupt music. The only way to get rid of them is to turn down your volume entirely.

Wovon sollt’ ich satt sein? Ich sprang nur über Gräbelein, und fand kein einzig Blättelein, mäh, mäh.

JIS is only good for being cheap, and only works if you’re a precision robot. You lose the autocentering and overtorque protection of Phillips, without gaining any of the advantages of Torx. (Phillips has overtorque protection in the sense that your tool doesn’t break, the screw does; which doesn’t matter if you don’t need to unscrew it.)

Did Walmart block mobile payment, and is now selling it as an advantage???

Technoblade never dies! Tom Scott came back, so I was right staying.

You don’t die in Elite. You escape in an escape pod and are recovered by the PFRR. Honestly, it’s a good universe (if you can afford the ship). You have infinite insurance without any reputation repercussions and with an absurdly small copay, can go anywhere you want, and can actually earn money instead of living your entire life doing the same monotonous job. Even smuggling, piracy, assault and attempted murder (Odyssey’s “death” message implies life-endangering injuries) is forgiven by a very short time in jail and a fine. Also tuning your craft is allowed and in part encouraged.

Turing Complete’s main character was abducted by aliens, who threaten to kill them if they don’t prove intelligent by learning how to build a computer.

Unlike Google, Lemmy (and Mastodon etc.) are FLOSS, so if one instance enshittifies, we can move, even to different ones, fediblock that instance, and continue on. This is the problem with Bluesky: You cannot (realistically) self-host all the ATProto infrastructure, or federate with anyone while not using some service from Bluesky.

DDG allows you to disable ads and AI in the settings!

And you can still visit it today! https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

And unlike most „forbidden characters“ for file names, the colon is actually used in NTFS: to separate the file path from the name of a named fork Alternate Data Stream.

How do I do that with the SSD cache? Everyone just talks about it, but I can’t find any documentation…

I have them at home and as such don‘t need to spend money on them.

Follow up question: Do I need a separate CPU cooler, or is the boxed Wraith enough? And how loud is it? I can’t really find info on that.

The NAS drives are here because they are from an old NAS which only uses a cheap dual-core Intel, has 2G of RAM, and boots from eMMC. So anything would be an upgrade…

I personally use a TPM with Measured Boot (so it doesn‘t give the key to external disks), and have a YubiKey and password as fallback options.

Well, that depends on the PC. Upgrading a laptop is quite hard (with exceptions). And with RAMageddon, a „real“ desktop may be prohibitively expensive. In Germany, where I am, a PS5 Digital Edition is 599,99€ (including VAT), while a good PC would probably be at least 1300€. But OP, if you can afford it, I‘d still recommend the PC for its versatility. You can do anything with that. Put SteamOS on it, its like a console. One button press, you‘re on a full desktop you can use for work, education, social media, etc. p.p.
