Time for a new one!

The starfish, clamshells etc. serve only the purpose of appeasing American religious conservatives.

Y’all still give your data to the data miners?

The murderers have to do C++.

How do you connect them? Via SATA? Do you have a drive enclosure?

Having just a single drive doesn’t really provide a lot of security. I’d want at least two drives in a RAID config.

On the other hand, having one home server that does it all has its advantages. I have a mini PC with an N100 processor and two HDD drive bays. It hosts my Docker containers and holds my data. As long as you install all the software on the internal drive and keep only the data on the HDDs in RAID, you should be pretty safe. I hope. So far I’ve managed not to fuck it up.

It’s going to start assimilating the neighbourhood soon.

Das ist die Waschmaschine! Setzen, sechs!

Definitely!

That’s what the woke mob would have you believe! The water isn’t getting warmer at all! Believe me!

Linux uses forward slash. Windows uses backslash. Because some dude 45 years ago wanted to make it look different from UNIX.

Pathlib is the answer.

Try pathlib. All your problems solved.

I once saw a TV program where they tried something like this. They had a few dozen people on exercise bikes try to power a normal family home. They barely managed even going flat out with a lot of people. Humans aren’t very good for generating electricity. I think it’s basically impossible to get more out of them than you have to feed them. Our future robotic overlords won’t have much use for us.

You just use a mirror. Geez, people, read your mythology!

If you want to tinker a lot, you can always use Arch. But if you’re like me and just want your computer to work, Mint is absolutely fantastic. And I’ve run all my steam games on it without any issues. Mind you, those games were all bought for the Steam Deck, so compatibility is already sorted.

For our American friends: the Opel Corsa is a car.

TIL. Thanks for the tip.

This gets mentioned far too rarely. Threw me off too, when I first tried to run Steam games on a Linux PC. This could surely be made more prominent in the interface or even largely automated, like on the Steam Deck.
