Ok, that is awful, but part of me can’t help thinking “he knew too much”.

For gaming, I honestly agree. Things are better with Lutris but running programs in their native OS is always going to be a better experience. Still, I think it’s very cool that you can run any of that in Linux. Valve is making some awesome progress with that…

For projects, yes… most of the things I want to build don’t need to go fast, so the pi zero is amazing and so so small. If you are just talking little cheap computer to stash somewhere, then no. I do think it would be neat if someone made a SBC N100 in the “credit card” size.

I actually moved everything to docker containers at home… Not an apples to apples, but I don’t need so many full OSs it turns out.

At work we have a mix of things running right now to see. I don’t think we’ll land on ovirt or openstack. It seems like we’ll bite the cost bullet and move all the important services to amazon.

Xubuntu… It’s light weight and pretty much everything is kind of Debian or kind of redhat anyway…

The charm of rolling my own died off when I got old enough to buy better hardware if I wanted to go faster…

I’m shocked I tell you; simply shocked…

If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it… Though, it’s not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.

Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…

It is. Though they clearly had to set up the bomb to save the donkey. Which is good I suppose, but man I have a hard time following that thought process.

I had totally forgotten about this album. Thanks for the reminder!

Doh, replied to a repost bot. Stupid lemmy

Exactly right. Copyright is one of the only things that forces creatives to be paid for their work… It’s definitely not a perfect system, but feel free to improve it.

Yes, just make sure it stays clear, so the more slope the better.

That artist had no idea how weapons work.

Check out the Ride1up revv1. Similar idea, more sport, less cargo, but you can buy it and stuff in extra batteries now. ;)

I actually went the other way and ended where you are now. Had an electric car and ended up letting it go when I actually did the math one $/trip. Between the payment, power and insurance, I was at looking at something like $50/trip.

I miss 2008 Google

Yeah, I mean don’t like uefi, but this makes me want to…

Sounds like the blocks are sealed to stop decomposition… so I guess the bricks would rot if the seal is compromised? That wouldn’t be good for a building. And it would let the carbon out.
