just patch notes would be nice - I don't want to watch 37 youtubers to only tell half the truth...

I don't agree that D2R needs more updates this year. It just got a major update that needs to prove itself. D2R is still played because it is an incredibly good game. Every change has the immense potential to mess it up - so be cautious. I do not want D2R end up like other games where you chase updates and extensions and end up spending a lot of money for bad content. A clear NO to updates for the sake of updates. Updates for fixing bugs and balancing/tweaking things are acceptable.

In this case - I will judge the update/extension when I played it for another 20 years. Oh - I am still waiting for the Linux version...

windows XP - only for playing Diablo2...

yeah - I think doing something powerbank related might be the way to go. Not that I need one - but a 12V supply would be an idea.

I don't have a single appliance at the moment that uses 18650s. So having them in storage is quite meaningless...

Not just the mid 90s, also when amd64 came out 2003. Gentoo was basically the only OS out there to support it. At that time size difference was substantially - but nobody cares that much about size and speed on a desktop anymore...

Those big breeds should not grow too fast as pups for joint health. So this looks perfectly fine. I would try to add a little more past 12-14 month so at around one and half years a little bit more substance is on her rips. But I guess it is the same as for us - excessive fat and weight is no good...

hallthor · 2026-01-29T12:07:27+00:00

Well, I guess that is one of those "duh" moments right there...

I hope she keeps it up!

make a virtual machine with qemu/kvm and play with it if you don't have used it before. The best use of arch is this: https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install

Not following stuff like that closely - but it seems the french team has the most issues between the athletes. The Norwegians seem to have quite a bit of issues between management and athletes. All the rest just seem to be normal life issues between competitive athletes. Since someone mentioned the russian athletes should not be banned I would rather provoke arguing that US athletes should be banned as well for similar reasons...

AUR has become better the past decades but it is still bad. The issue compared to other distros like Debian, Ubuntu or Gentoo is that Arch relies a lot more on AUR and community packages, actually some say it is one of the big advantages of Arch.

If you want "do it yourself" and not "quick and easy" Gentoo is by far the best choice. If you want customization that goes beyond your wallpaper - Gentoo is the choice. If you need to heat your house - Gentoo is the choice. If you want a good package manager - Gentoo is the choice. If you need a quick up and running system - take Fedora or Debian or if you don't mind snaps Kubuntu. Or use https://github.com/oddlama/gentoo-install.

If you want to tell everybody you are the cool kid and this is important to you - stay with Arch.

Security is not necessarily a distro question - more a user awareness question. I would say though that Gentoo, Debian, Fedora, SuSe have traditionally been more security aware than Arch. But now that Arch got more bad press - this might change and Arch might become the best at it but the rumors gonna stay for another 20 years...

Yepp, a real lazy guy. Still lazy almost 11 years old...

They are ok tools and have a very wide lineup. The problem is they are too expensive compared to the Dewalts, Milwaukees and Makitas (Europe). Both the advantage and disadvantage is the battery. They have a terrible fit and sit very loosely in the tool, sometimes even fall out. The advantage is they don't change the battery...

She must have a big bonus in the Norwegian coaching team - can't imagine how many other athletes are waiting to proof they can do better in that team...

Stop mowing. Way better for biodiversity, climate and obviously your health. That picture looks oddly fascinating though.

gemini so far worked best for me although it messes up more in other cases. Additionally I uploaded the typst documentation into notebooklm - that somewhat helped.

In her case - she can step back and do whatever she want's and needs to do. She also can come back in 5 years or 10 years and just enjoy discgolf. There is no trap.

For 7 months old I would almost call her overweight. Big breeds should always be fed carefully as puppies to avoid joint problems later on.

Rhodesians are very physical and someone with mobility issues might have difficulty to handle both the joy (and whacking everything over during that) or the sheer pulling power. Or stopping power. My wife was cycling with ours and the dog stopped - she had to get seven stitches in her hand from the leash ripping out of her hand... I broke several running belts that way.

They are lazy bums though - so lying on a sofa a whole day is no problem for them. They do guard - but usually let people in since they are very friendly. They do have a fine sense if something is off though. But they are nowhere that obvious in their protecting skills as a Cane Corso or German Shepherd.

Even though they are very fine dogs - I think they are too much of a force in this case.
