To fill gaps in information, one must first identify the gaps. Then one must prioritize. (King Tut’s address is missing on a lot of forms.)

Why don’t they target the heads of state and leave normal people alone? Joe Sixpack’s family is only going to be enraged by his death.

She was no dummy. But was always going to die this way.

(I only assume she is dead.)

I search things so others can be lazy.

Cluster B things:

Cluster B disorders are marked by inappropriate, volatile emotionality and often unpredictable behavior. The disorders in Cluster B are antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder.

A and C are also things.

I wish there were more lighted “closed” signs. I often cannot see the unlit “open” sign, but can see the lights inside are on with people inside.

Yup. Customers gotta note and avoid the untrustworthy spokes people, otherwise there is no downside for the spokesperson.

The joke is electricity and Linux.

The real answer is the free hardware.

My main reliable is from 2008? It cannot do modern virtualization due to not having the CPU instruction sets.

I don’t think I would want to piss off a government.

Can’t think of pro-LLM fan boys in the same light anymore.

And what happens when the AI is an official at work? “My boss says I am the second coming of Jesus and this expense is approved.”

Apt-cacher-ng doesn’t tend to expire automatically. It can be configured to keep the last version regardless. https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/html/maint.html#extrakeep

One can also use a cache to hold deb and rpm files requested by the machines. (Works great when running hundreds of systems.)

I like “apt-cacher-ng”. It will do deb and rpm. https://wiki.debian.org/AptCacherNg

Offline repository caches for Linux have been a thing for decades. People absolutely pass binaries to friends.

Flatpac may not be suitable, but that is only one way to get software on Linux.

Pretty much every Windows machine I’ve ever owned after a certain year requires you to type in your Bitlocker key, including my first-gen Surface Go from 2018.

This is interesting. I had a work computer require this ~4 years ago, but not one of the three since have (personal and different employers.)

Contact is labelled ‘Lil Sis’. OTOH, I wouldn’t be surprised if her husband handles her texts.

It is complicated. There are several options, each with tradeoffs in functionality, compatible software, and performance.

A simple method is to use one system as a desktop, and SSH into the others as “headless”.

Other options include making a K8s or HPC cluster (there are other cluster types).

Spreading a single set of communicating processes requires a low latency interconnect. Something better than Ethernet, like Infiniband. But many programs don’t support that.

What features do you want?

What should my first configurations and preparations

Write on paper your goals. Write on paper a list of your systems and what needs to speak with what.

Then pick the most important or simplest device and get it connected the way you want.

Time to check Humble Bundle.

At home, colors Whatever color the purpose is.

Me and the homes in the old person dorm. Playing games, watching movies, doing community service.
