In high school friends and I made a (terrible) "Very Low Budget Star Wars" sketch. The only gag I remember is that Vader was wheezing because his costume was a black garbage bag over his torso (arms torn through at the sides of the bag) and we didn't make a hole for his head/breathing.
While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.
This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.
By the end of the first term, www.orst.edu became 'osu.orst.edu' (www still worked, but nothing linked to it). Then over the summer everything was changed to oregonstate.edu.
When I worked for my university's Student Computing department, usernames were all "up to 7 characters from surname + the first letter of their given name." So there were plenty of stories about bad usernames that the admins would have to fix.
The best one for me, personally, was when I helped a student out whose surname was Takashi and his first name started with a T.
It didn't help that no one at Oregon State considered the 'www' when they chose the school's first domain name. So that turned into takashit@www.orst.edu
Edit to add: This was in the mid-90s. That was that guy's first and (at the time) only email address.
I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can't get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I'm still making heat like crazy.
Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I'd rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.
Yeah. The generations older than me in my family never got over the great depression. So late summer was always about pickling and canning. Then the family spent the fall trading their canned goods. Then spent the spring talking about which things were and weren't so good.
