I think that's just one of the official binary penguins that were released last month.

Shit, you've just reminded me I've been running this install for months now and I don't even have neofetch installed.

Sorting immediately, not sure how I've managed these last few month.

Found in UK, not stumbled upon this before.

I thought Libertarian was just an American thing for people who don't like the Republican candidate but don't want anyone messing with gun or equality laws.

Ohhh, nice find.

It's still on my bingo card to find in the wild.

Not had this stuff in many years.

A friend brought it back from Japan and told me it was either sencha or hojicha but I think I got lucky.

My beloved clay kyusu died some time ago, this is my charity shop backup kyusu. Not a looker but makes a fine cup of Japanese tea.

I'm not sure there is a need to run linux on bare metal, or carry around a second laptop.

My daughter is starting a college computing course next month and has been told they will be using linux.

She has a fairly recent, last 5yrs or less I think, intel macbook but knows nothing about linux or vm's.

I advised her to install Ubuntu in a VM when she asked about it, she asked how to do this. Initial thought is Virtualbox but I've not used MacOS since well before it became MacOS nor used VirtualBox in many years, have heard of new shiny new things like UTM, Parallels & VMWare.

Is it a reasonable suggestion to just use VirtualBox? Is there a better option?

Bit of a dad moment; "Just install Linux and then I can help you", "But how do I install Linux dad?"

In my early teens I stumbled upon Charlie Parker, stuff like Salt Peanuts made a big impact.

The past decade or so I've been enjoying Pharaoh Sanders, John Gilmour & others......only just stating to really appreciate the genius of John.

The past few years Albert Ayler has made me smile even more than Charlie, John (Coltrane or Gilmour), or Pharaoh did with this & this sorta stuff.

I'm a big fan of John Coltrane but the noises Albert makes on his horn seem to often be a wonderful step beyond John.

Who are your sax heroes and which tracks do you love and return to?

From Ted, the ext4 maintainer, on the LKML a few days ago.

The thread is about mainlining bcachefs but the post from Ted, who from what little I know seems about as trustworthy as ext4 has been over the past few decades, gives an interesting overview of the business approaches to software of IBM, Red Hat, Google & Sun Microsystems.

Of general interest to myself but mainly posting as it seems relevant to the recent changes in RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma & Fedora over the past few weeks/years and gives some context of how we got where we are from ~2010.

We need more threads about not talking about that thing that we have been talking about too much.p

[-] SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah.

But if knowledgeable users have access to archives they can use that as sacred scriptures of ancient wisdom to guide and inform new communities in the ways of the old gods.

Not quite RES yet but I'm running this at the moment:

I'm very new here and curious if I could ask as it sounds like you know what you are talking about.

My self hosting skills are extremely basic. I have an 8G Pi4 I run jellyfin, navidrome and a few other bits and bobs on. I'm scared of opening ports on my home network so use Timescale for external access. Could I run a personal Lemmy instance like this? Can I interact with other instances via Tailscale or do I need to actually open ports?

Resource wise what would a personal instance require in the cloud? Would something basic like a 512mb 10G droplet from Digital Ocean suffice?

I'm trying to be generous, whilst being largely ignorant, and consider he is responding to a hierarchy that have an 'over my dead body' approach to changing the traditional ways and perhaps he is just informing them that tradition has an option for that sort of thing.

and/or it does seem like he could well be a horrid person.

On the plus side I was both shocked and happy to learn Japan has very recently changed the age of consent from 13 to 16 whilst also recognizing consent in the context of rape which does seem like a step in the right direction. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-65887198
