Do you remember when Microsoft tried to patent sudo?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

Pimsleur courses were the best tool I've used for learning languages on my own. I haven't tried the apps, but your local library might have books and CDs. I got mine from the high seas.

I don't think there's an age limit for hunting in my country, either. I did have a couple of shotguns for the purpose.

To get a license for them I had to pass an exam identifying all game, even by silhouette. And I had to pop in for a quick interview at the police station before applying for a weapon's license.

I feel like those hoops would filter out 95% of those looking to get weapons fpr illicit purposes. In the case of a handgun, you'd need to show a long-lasting interest in either range shooting or hunting game that hide in dens.

Why does a 13-year-old have access to guns?

It feels like a common and repetitive theme that doesn't bring much discussion to the table. I might be an old grumpy fart, and I probably would've done the same posts back in 1997 when I left Windows NT 4.0 in the rear view mirror.

I'd much prefer to keep the discussion on Linux and not other operating systems. I enjoy AmigaOS and MorphOS as well, but I can't recall anyone every comparing those to Windows on the forums.

I do the opposite.

• "I'm thinking to go shop for new winter boots on Saturday"
• "I'll allow it."

Define cold.

I have an air-water heat pump as the only source of heat and hot water in my house. It takes heat from the air outside and dumps it into a 200 litre water tank. I'd guesstimate that 80% of the homes in my neighborhood have the same setup.

Temperatures are going to be around -10°C for the next few days. When the silver falls below -15°C a resistive element kicks in to help the pump. In my climate I won't see more than a handful of those per year.

Nordic models scale down to -30°C before doing the same.

I took the dogs for a walk. Gas stations and 24/7 pubs were open.

I've had my mk1 kit for nine years. I expect I'll get another nine out of it before it goes to college.

I have no experience with either of the two.

I did however buy a Prusa MK1 ten years ago for 650€. It has since received the MK2 conversion from 3mm to 1.75mm, plus autoleveling. The heatbed needed a new connector at some point, and I've enquired about old STLs to replace some parts. It's still running great to this day, and support has been excellent.

If it ever gives up, I'll go with another Prusa.

You can. In practice

If you have two or more network adapters in your computer it can do network address translation to share your connection with your other devices that would use private IP addresses. If one of those network adapters is WiFi, your computer can act as a wireless access point.

Sounds like you're looking for EncFS.

It'll leak the size and structure of whatever you have there. Filenames and content are encrypted.

I guess I'd sail my late brother's yacht for a season before I sell it. Could be nice to explore a new area without having to spend weeks on getting my own (bigger) yacht there.

I'd also inherit a couple of airbnb rentals, so I guess those would be business as usual. There'd be a couple of family houses to sell as well, I guess I'd invest those back into rentable real estate.

I was torrenting porn with good speed.

Seems unreasonably slow to me that xterm would take a second to start. My two computers running kernel 6.7 are slow than the machine in the test, both have BTRFS on LUKS.

I tried a cold start of xterm on my older thinkpad with an NVMe drive at ~0.3s.

A cold start on my desktop (also NVMe), 0.08s.

I'm unable to reproduce. I wonder if he might've had a fresh install with some background operations grinding on, or some indexing going on.

My 350€ three-year old phone has an SoC with 12GB of RAM.

I've discovered OneShortEye. He covers the speedrunning history of old point-and-click adventure games. I'm not particularly interested in speedrunning myself, but I'm just amazed at all the things I've missed in games that I've spent so many hours on. And the production quality is just insane for a one-man-show.

I think it's a bit more invasive of a browser to inject shit depending on the sites I visit.

Why call them settlers instead of invaders or squatters?

Do you have an iGPU as well?

If that's the case, the mx150 needs to copy over the framebuffer to that one when you use the internal display. Performance can improve with an external display, but don't expect wonders.
