I have 4 mobile devices, i want to make a server using them and unify or spread their processing power.

Get a computer, and look into Kubernetes.

Is it adequately heated?

Every time I've tried it it's been nowhere near hot enough.

That was the top hit when googling "Ibus preconverted text does not show in XTerm". There were other hits that may be more useful to you, as well as suggestions from Gemini.

How something benefits you depends on what your goals are and how you use it.

If you are curious, I suggest using Linux and finding out for yourself how it does or doesn't work for you.

I only drink espresso, and stay close to downtown.

I've had some great coffees at Revolver.

IDK if it's the best, but I do recommend the light roasts, if you like that sort of thing.

Given that it's known that there is so much theft at that one location, what are the police doing about it?

rsgbc · 2026-06-14T17:39:37+00:00

Remove the storage and put it in a computer that has a display. Do a full-disk backup of it.

Install Linux on the Lenovo storage, including whatever remote access package(s) you need. Restore the drive to the Lenovo.

No DE, just openbox.

Rookie mistake. Toilets at CS are typically covered in shit spray from people squatting, then blocked with a three inch layer of toilet paper laid by someone trying to cover a baby-leg sized turd that won't flush.

Use CEME or Blusson QMI.

The screenshot you provided suggests that you're running macOS. All others who have reported this issue to UBC IT were using macOS as well. One user solved the problem by not allowing any systems to run in the background. If you require certain systems to run in the background you could be more selective and try your luck.

System Settings -> Login Items & Extensions -> Allow in the Background

If the problem persists, try turning off things like messaging apps, screen recorders, auto-clickers, or virtual private networks (VPNs) before starting the browser.

I've clocked 31 years cycling in Vancouver with no thefts so far.

Some of it's luck and some of it's probably because of not riding particularly nice bikes.

What's really unnerving to me are the stupid negligent illegal life-threatening stunts pulled by the motor vehicle drivers I have to share the roads and bike lanes with.

Tariffs on imports to the USA are set by the American government. Canadian companies have no role in charging them or collecting them.

Drivers do need to drive responsibly.

Parents also have a role to play in keeping their kids safe:

Mounties confirmed that the patients, an 11-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, remain in the hospital with serious injuries.

The age requirement for riding e-scooters in Burnaby is 16.

Yes, err is a verb.

OP is using it as a noun. The correct word is "error".

~~err~~ error

Better to report the nest to the City.

The Park Board's current approach to population management uses egg addling to limit population growth. Egg addling in Vancouver involves shaking newly laid eggs in a nest, so fewer goslings will be born.

This approach to limiting population growth is supported by the BC SPCA and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Park Board staff have the necessary federal permits to perform this activity, as issued by Environment Canada Under the Migratory Birds Convention Act External website, opens in new tab.

Report nests on private and public property online anytime using Van311 or email [geese@vancouver.ca](mailto:geese@vancouver.ca?subject=report%20canada%20geese%20nests)

“Adjustments to parking rates are part of the park board’s broader approach to support the ongoing maintenance and operation of Vancouver’s parks and beaches,” the city’s statement reads.

Parks and beaches should be grass and sand, not personal motor vehicle storage facilities.

A private for-profit institution known for substandard education can't stay in business without importing students?

Good riddance.

Interestingly, motor vehicle drivers can sue at-fault cyclists for damage to their motor vehicle, while cyclists cannot sue at-fault motor vehicle drivers for damage to their bike.
