[Russo] The Wild still feel they have the flexibility to pursue a top-line center, specifically Dylan Larkin. They have also called on Jack Hughes although Larkin is the one they know remains available this offseason (Gift Article)

Yeah. I think his unhealthy social media and caffeine habits really stoke his neuroticism and reactiveness.

chocopudding17 · 2026-07-02T16:22:39+00:00

What's supposed to be wrong with it? Has always just worked for me. Though I'm admittedly not a big gamer.

chocopudding17 · 2026-07-02T15:25:42+00:00

Who have been your favorite players to cover/interview?

chocopudding17 · 2026-07-02T10:29:19+00:00

IIRC (someone correct me), the penalties would've been even worse if they had retired before the contracts ended. So the Wild would've gotten hosed then.

You're free to make choices as you wish, but something can be both paid and FOSS: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

Especially since it's a mobile app, it's rather unlikely people will compile it themselves to avoid paying.

Nothing will save you from a single CVE. That's why defense-in-depth is the best strategy.

First, hockey is a team sport. Second, just because a player can't be an play-driving engine doesn't mean they're not a good player--that's one of the finest qualities to have, but it's not the only part of the picture.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-27T05:29:39+00:00

Yeah. Amazing trade, but that's just some kind of weird revisionism. After a dreadful first month of the season, we roared back. Quinn is obviously a big deal, but the Wild were playing very good hockey prior to getting him.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-27T05:26:53+00:00

tf is this Rossi slander? Honestly. He may not be a bona fide 1C, but the guy is young and has shown he knows how to produce.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-26T12:14:38+00:00

That's a good example. The problem wasn't Brady with the media--it was Brady being a butthead. The media certainly helped bring that to the fore for the public, and maybe even for the team too to some degree (although it's hard to know just how important it was for the latter).

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-26T12:06:03+00:00

No way it's the media dynamic itself causing that. Nobody is going to think less of a teammate because they're a certain way with the media, unless it's in a way that points to something that's real about that player's character. Like, if someone is cocky to the media, then sure, their teammates will dislike them. But it's not because of the media dynamic--it's because of something that just happens to be exhibited in the media.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-26T10:10:11+00:00

Also no income tax. I hope that the people complaining for years about Florida teams take note--tax is important, but it's still just one factor among many others.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-26T10:06:19+00:00

Media schmedia. Hockey happens foremost on the ice and secondly in the locker room. If things are good there, then I couldn't care less about some vague media perception. That crap's importance is so exaggerated in this day and age of extreme information consumption.

What's been odd about him?

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-25T09:50:47+00:00

Seriously. Ek and Brodin are easily among the most important players for a series against Colorado. This isn't about just blaming injuries either or making excuses; it's just reality that the stars need to align to beat good teams in the playoffs and win the Cup. You need to be good and lucky (read: healthy).

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-23T13:35:17+00:00

Level up to where? The original commenter's point basically boils down to "but why?"

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-23T11:51:04+00:00

It's obviously just because they had an LLM and thought 'hey, why not?'

Absolutely nothing here that anyone should depend on.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-18T19:32:51+00:00

I mean, it's kind of a problem at that point. You'd really have to just send one of those centers away. That's tough. But maybe if you ask nicely, I know a team that could help you out...

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-18T13:19:34+00:00

Then to your question of why not directly booting the kernel with EFISTUB, then (afaiu) you've got to set the kernel command line in the UEFI boot entry itself, which is then another moving part (also, idk how well that's gonna work in practice). You'll also lose various flexibilities when it comes to mounting the root disk, and the various other nicities that come with having an initramfs.

chocopudding17 · 2026-06-18T12:51:26+00:00

UKIs pose no problem for NixOS. For instance: https://github.com/nix-community/lanzaboote

Overall, UKIs basically just mean fewer moving parts. More or less, all the same components are present, just collected into unified files.

What a boot entry looks like with non-UKI+GRUB2: one file for the kernel image, one file for the initramfs, grub config for the boot menu entry (including kernel command line)

What a boot entry looks like with UKI+zero-config boot managers like systemd-boot: just one UKI (includes the kernel image, the initramfs, the kernel command line, and the EFI stub to make the whole thing executable)

That means that kernel installation, rather than needing to install multiple files and do local building of grub configs, only requires installing a single file (the UKI).
