Chalk it up to cache invalidation issues 🙃

The single hardest problem in computer science is naming things.

And counting things.

Ok well this deserves a closer look. Might slap this on a spare laptop and give it a test drive.

Because it’s pretty much all public knowledge. There’s nothing novel there. It’s very obviously a distraction and obfuscation tactic.

It’s a tactic commonly used as a defense strategy by corporate attorneys, especially when defending against private parties: you simply inundate the opposing side with reams of borderline irrelevant bullshit. Makes it substantially harder to find pertinent documents, and also serves to delay the discovery that maybe something important was left out.

No no - it’s not plagiarism; it’s standardization.

The appropriate response from constituents to the senator saying this is “get a real job you fucking asshole”

A damn sight more than “mildly” tbh

Fantastic insult, if I’m being honest. Also, yes.

I love that people are removing the solutions, but keeping the “holy shit you just saved me 2-3 full quarters of work”

I genuinely could not care less, tbh. There’s not been anything I’ve found really groundbreaking in the genre for a very long time.

Wish he’d hurry the fuck up about shuffling off his mortal coil

Ok, sure, you do you. Simply offering a way to do this that works well for me.

Tbh I will usually simply swap out the OEM drive for a bigger and faster (and typically cheaper than the OEM upgrade option, per size) one the second I unbox it (optionally, go through the setup process before taking it out, so it’s ready to go next time you want to plug it in). This lets you not waste space on that “rainy day” contingency (which I’ve almost never actually needed). The one exception (and I keep a dedicated laptop around for this) is automotive diagnostic suites with proprietary USB hardware - I’ve got an old thinkpad still running windows 7. XP would honestly be better, because a lot of that shit doesn’t like “new” versions of windows.

Then do it in two steps. There’s a way forward. Just requires bit of fiddling.

FWIW, Fedora with KDE is fantastic - been using that as my distro of choice (for systems I want a UI on at least) for a few years now and I love it.

Lmfao protein additives (or whatever that is) now come with a EULA…? What a time to be alive 🫠

It’s extremely context-dependent.

If we’re talking about enterprise-grade, five-nines reliability: I want the absolute simplest, bare-bones, stripped down, optimized infra I can get my hands on.

If we’re talking about my homelab or whatever else non-critical system: I’m gonna fuck around and play with whatever I feel like.

That is some big dick energy ngl

Yep. And a lot of the gas stations in my area have the auto-hold latches busted or removed, so you have to stand there and have a super loud ad screamed in your face. Which is why I now have a pack of reusable zip ties in my car that I will slap on the fill handle if I come across a pump like that. And no, that’s not dangerous - the stop mechanism in the pump handle operates such that the handle depresses further when the auto-shutoff engages, so it does not disrupt the safety of the filler mechanism.
