• Back up your data now

• Run a self test on the drive - smartctl -t long - if it doesn’t pass, then the drive is trash. If it does, then it might limp along a bit longer before catastrophically failing

Imagine the most stereotypical Australian you can. Now imagine he has a PhD in chemistry but no money for a lab, so does all his work out of a literal tin shed full of spiders using stuff he found at the hardware store

I’ve used 85GB of the 128GB of my current phone after using it for 2 years and never deleting anything. I suppose if I took a lot more video I might burn through it quicker.

Personally, if I’d paid $1500 for 1000 of something and got any less than 1000 units I’d be kinda pissed

In highschool I worked a shitty job at a butchery, and one day the boss decided to “test how smart” I was or something by asking me to get him 1000 wooden skewers out of the box.

Being an attention to detail kind of person, I spent a few minutes counting out 1000 cos I wanted to make sure I gave him exactly what he asked for - wouldn’t want a customer to order 1000 and get 995 or something cos I miscounted right?

Apparently not, cos that was the dumb way to do it - boss slapped 10 skewers on the scale then weighed out 100x that and was really proud until I pointed out that the certificate of accuracy only guaranteed the scale to +/- 2 skewers, then apparently I’m a “smart ass”. Can’t win with some people

Yup, this - batteries are consumables. They have a service life of ~2-5 years depending on load. If the manual doesn’t tell you how to replace them then it’s basically ewaste already

Depends on what you need:

• As cheap as possible, but actually want a VM: OCI free tier will be way bigger than you will probably need
• Happy paying money but still want to learn about Linux things: I’ve had good experiences with Scaleway
• I just want something I can set up and not think about: don’t use a VPS. Architect your site as a pure-static site, stick it in an S3 bucket. You’ll probably be within the free tier unless you do absolutely bonkers traffic, and once it’s running you can leave it alone for literal years without worrying about patches or upgrades

I suppose the point of a longsword is less “wickedly sharp razor blade to slice and dice with precision” and more “wedge shaped heavy piece of metal to drop on people with the hope of finding a gap in their armour”

Over grip seems like a really great way to slice your hand open

Tingly

They seem to be pretty good at making sure the military has all the finding they need

I’d be ok with anonymous donations if they were truly anonymous both publicly and to the management of the institution receiving the money.

Maybe this is something that the government could facilitate - pool these resources, then help distribute them where they are needed. Almost like how taxes work.

Maintains uncomfortable eye contact with the camera

They are in it for the vibes more than the anything

What is the constitution if not a law?

Since when has a trivial thing like “the law” stopped him from trying to do something he wants?

Oh shit it hadn’t occurred to me that the logical end state for Elon is running for president
