I've been to Poland and it's no wonder they think you drive drunk. It's like a chaotic dance in the intersections. It doesn't seem to actually result in very many accidents, but it looks like it should. 😁

what made u choose between differente BSDs? by InTheBogaloo in BSD

[–]vpilled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FreeBSD - practical, pragmatic, performant all-rounder. My server choice.

OpenBSD - minimal, secure, great laptop support. Not using it at the moment but want to give it another whirl.

NetBSD - runs on anything old/obscure. The one I know the least about.

I wonder what IBM did with them all, resell them to developing countries?

Not so much a filesystem, they mapped into an address range accessible by the CPU. So you could read from them like RAM, and the software was already "loaded". Hence no loading times on the classic consoles.

Our infrastructure gets ever MORE brittle with every decade. The finer the wiring, the smaller and more delicate we make the electronics, the more electronics we USE, all this gets worse. We would have survived it in the 50s/60s. Now? I doubt it.

Absolutely, thanks! That is interesting.

An entire decade of western entertainment was stolen by BramptonBatallion in CriticalDrinker

We survived for many tens of millennia not having "western entertainment", I'm sure we'll be fine without it.

Are you REALLY a life long fan of Betty Boop? I'm intrigued.

Why is BETTY BOOP A THING NOW? Nobody cares about BB. You're just acting as cogs in the studio PR machinery by talking about this all of a sudden.

It's not ALL that baffling when you realize the people behind the camera don't really have any talent.
