This is just for him to get a basic feel for the various distros, before choosing one to permanently install; setting up a VM properly is probably going to be too technical

[A day after mainland China invades Taiwan]

“Fuck, why did graphics cards quintuple in price?”

Or perhaps the 54 kg is an exaggeration and includes packaging and so on.

Bet $20 the 54 kg includes the weight of the cutting agents in stuff that was already cut to ~heroin strength

Well I use key-based login for security; obscurity just keeps the network congestion down

So, uh…link?

Solar panels are also added weight, which reduces range. Any way you look at it, it makes more sense to have the solar panels at a base location you go back to.

I guess an RV, or a camp trailer, makes sense to have panels on it, but that’s about it

I imagine the problem was just as much older microwaves as it was older pacemakers

You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped

On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it’s a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).

I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.

I was expecting rickroll, I’m pleasantly surprised

Trump could literally shoot someone in Times Square in broad daylight and somehow not lose a single vote for it

One of the only true things Trump has ever said

Real and straight

The people marketing it have absolutely no understanding of what they’re selling.

Has it ever been any different? Like, I’m not in tech, I build signs for a living, and the people selling our signs have no idea what they’re selling.

Let’s see what millennials accumulate as they go senile

Probably not as much, what with not having anywhere to keep it

Answer is sell the shit.

Sell it to who? Nobody else wants the shit either, that’s the problem

Damn, is that why I feel like shit all the time, I’m supposed to be eating food too?

Well, you lock them up, use them as slave labour, and then bill them for the cost of their imprisonment once they’re released

Presumably they were cleaning the coolant lines, same as flushing a vehicle radiator

And they might be about to fight an actual civil war to extend those “rights” further.

Well we know how American civil wars end, and the country could use some more Reconstruction

Why would he care?
