Great times. And new rules every year!

No docker. Plain executable.

You need this for your family, and not hundreds of people? No crazy, outlandish usage requirements?

Then basically any PC will do.

I do regularly have issues with radicale, for years now. One is that it does not work properly after boot. I have to SSH in, kill the radicale process, and restart it.

What the heck are you self-hosting that anything beyond 64G is even taken into account?

An old co-student back then went away for a number of months in 1998/99. Turned out he had done a job in Frankfurt for some bank before 2k for some real money. The job included a nice apartment and a chauffeur free service.

Especially as they call them “illegal aliens”. Does this imply that the little green men are “legal aliens”?

Interesting read. My wife and I both have A4s, bought at the same day in the same shop. Her phone does not really fast charge anymore, but my still seems to do it. And even more surprising, mine went from “battery holds one and maybe a half day at normal use” to “battery works for two days again at normal use”.

My coworker and his wife had the bad A4s (bought earlier than ours), and were offered the $50 refund.

Wonderful!

If a SteamOS desktop system gets established, it would be time to add productive software to the ecosystem. Like a web browser, email, libreoffice, maybe some other tools. There are good free versions of all kinds of productivity software, and having them nicely packaged for a system like that would add a lot of value to the SteamOS driven family PC.

My home server runs on an old desktop PC, bought at a discounter. But as we have bought several identical ones, we have both parts to upgrade them (RAM!) as well as organ donors for everything else.

Be happy if you get single-ply paper. Some places have half-ply.

No problem for me.

Simple solution. Don’t buy those games.

I don’t speak elisp, but I speak regexp. Looks like the LLM speaks neither.

If you don’t notice the difference, well, your loss. I take a nice Darjeeling or Assam over a British Zombie Tea any time.

Luckily, it seems to be disabled by default. At the moment.

Will there be one member of the cabinet hear the “You’re fired!” each week?

Watch “Beard meets Food” on YT and learn.

Someone who does not know about “permanent delete” and not having backups, especially when switching to a new system, should have no business complaining about this.
