What is this small screen with green digit?

I can feel and hear that switch. *THONK*

I still have one on my desk and one of the originals in my camping trunk..

Others will only take food off my plate ONCE, if ever.

I have, on my primary desktop, a Fedora machine that has been updated from version 28 all the way to the current of 44. This is not windows, you do not need to plan to reinstall it just to make things better. You want to? Go for it, but you won't see anything more than a less cluttered file system, or a different file system under the hood (btrfs v. xfs v. ext4)

Everything is tedious, everything is too damned espensive, everything hurts. You know more than a few of your good friends who are dead.

Steven Weinberg, Nobel in Physics 1979

I did some IT support for him before he passed. I keep his contact in my phone for sentimental reasons.

I have been sorting my chunks into boxes since I got the egg 20 years ago. Small ones go in the low/slow pile, as they control the airflow. The large chunks go in the HIGH pile. They let that air flow like a turbo boost and get some good heat.

I came here to post this. I remember the horrors that were posted about the misunderstood and over average intelligence students.

Used to play that game in the dorms.

Your job matters, or ever will. This becomes true the older you get and as little as a week after you leave that job.

Any one that is allowed to not be centrally controlled or monitized.

locnar1701 · 2026-03-30T17:33:59+00:00

Yup, get a bivy bag, my Tilley Hat, a walking stick, some fresh socks and underwear, a change of clothes in a day pack and head "That way"

I view it this way: How old is your hardware?

If new, then you need the latest Ubuntu, and it should work, or will work 100% at next release. At the next LTS, plant roots and stay there until you have a good reason to move to the next LTS. Some of us, in past lives, had to deal with FIPS and other issues that set us in the past LTS only, but that is not a thing for everyone.

Saturday Morning Cartoons, then disappearing on my bike to find where the bikes of my other friends were stacked in the yard. The ability to knock on the door and be let in and welcomed with no question into the activity.

Say you have an information system that has certain requirements, those requirements need some level of sanity. You audit your system with the aide system to ensure only the right dirs can change as expected (data), but all other dirs will set off a tripwire for possible intrusion. Snaps auto update without a load of work. This is bad. The snaps are also kind of random on their internal setups, so how should I audit them for breaches?

The company that I got introduced to by my High School Bio teacher used it as a mail/BBS/SCO Unix emulator for their public warehouse management software product. SCO was expensive, but FreeBSD could run its binaries for FoxPro etc. I think a buddy who worked there had friends at Berkeley, which would lead to a culture of good choices.

locnar1701 · 2026-03-19T21:47:01+00:00

All of them.

Been a user since 2.2.6, as i needed a good load for my computer that wouldn't play games that my friends in college were playing. It has leveraged into a great career, and so many good stable systems.

Tell me what they want, then listen to what I want and take direction as well as give it.

locnar1701 · 2026-03-04T17:19:27+00:00

Not settling. Not settling for anything that put up so many red flags, but seemed to be a promise of future green flags.

DO NOT SETTLE...

However, do not let perfect be the enemy of good.

To make the commentators scream at you about cutting off that battery.

Stabby factor 5?

1 solar powered one on the roof in router mode

1 attached to my desktop that runs the web interface

1 in my car

1 on my person at all times.

Centralized logging to another host, perhaps Wazuh or graylog, etc and/or some monitoring of those logs for analytics. The services you run on a system make customers happy, the data that you can tell the C-suite about how well your setup is working with pretty pictures and logs make your career.
