Going from my laptops to a client’s Windows machine feels like I’m stepping back in time, every time.
Even my Win10 VM is light years ahead of Windows ‘proper’ because of all of the modifications to make it usable.
MS Windows belongs in a museum, not at an office or on a desk.

Love the Descent franchise, especially Freespace .
Normalize 6D games!
Self checkout in the PNW rules.
Self checkout in South (east) Florida sucks.
Why? Because the volume is on 11, and the customer base is as dumb as a rock. Seriously, stand at any self checkout in SF for 10’ minutes and watch.
In 11 minutes you will either want to kill them or yourself, sometimes it’s a tossup.
I live on a cruising sailboat and have bought gear from Sun Electronics in Miami Lakes, Fl a few times.
They’ll sell you A panel or pallet after pallet of every conceivable type and manufacturer and power rating. There is no sales tax in Florida on anything having to do with solar power, so that could also save you some money.
Here they have several examples of complete systems to give you an idea / crash course of what’s involved.
These are examples, and as you start to learn more about the different components and choices (lead acid vs LifePo4 batteries, or home built or store bought, EV powerwall, etc etc) you’ll see your prices change.
I’m not affiliated, just a happy customer.
Purchase a used laptop for $300. Install Lini (Linuxes, Linuxis?), learn.
No, because it’s Discord, no.
Reef Whitetips are a good book, mostly harmless so Don’t Panic.
Oceanic Whitetips - straight gangsters … When they come rolling in on a dive it’s ALWAYS gonna be more than one like you intha wrong hood cuz and thugs be comin up outta the shadows circling you, checking you out deciding if you a pussy ass or what. (Spoiler: They always eventually decide you are in fact a pussy ass …aallllwwwaaayysssss)
I don’t fuck with these at all ever, I get the fuck out of the water.
The Bahamas you can do this, but you are absolutely correct, and I think they are like ranked 5 or 6 in human bites, something ridiculously high, because they are all calm and people get stupid, mostly divers from what I’ve heard.
I totally forgot about those …
Great whites are just like running backs or a slow AF freight train, tigers are twitchy like that meth head at the petrol station, bull sharks are actually bullies, makos are a bullet train with teeth and something to prove, hammerheads are just plain graceful.
Coolest shark is definitely a hammerhead, I’ll vote for the Great HH.
[edit 2nd coolest sharks are Nurse Sharks because you can wade / sit in the water and they come up like dogs.

Oracle, where the best technologies go to die.
No link, we didn’t publish the work.
A hacker group in Seattle (GHI) years ago attempted to build secure systems on top of compromised hardware. Although different levels of security could be achieved, the overall outcome was No. You cannot build a fully secured system on top of compromised hardware.
A VPS for this exercise counts as ‘compromised’ hardware.
Have you perused Distro Watch?
Lots of good info & news, and info on just about every distro there is, stuff you’ve never heard of. Years and years ago this was my introduction to FreeNAS that made a huge difference in my life. You should check it out if you haven’t already.
Wait, that’s still a thing?
Not the fee, the company.
I’ve used Lets Encrypt for years and years, in fact it’s been at least 6?. LE with the encryptbot?, automate the entire process, and then completely forget about it until someone posts on Lemmy asking about it.
It’s been long enough I’ve forgotten the proper names of the software and I would have to go back through my notes to recreate it.
Just checked the logs and it’s fine.
Don’t pay for shit.
