my younger brother called me once, which was unusual, so i immediately answered. he was crying, which was new to me as well, and told me that our mom's laptop he had been using to game on was hacked, and that he was now being extorted

it could help that our country is pretty small, rich, and has about the same population size as New York City :) but i do agree, Swiss Post is great. live-tracking while they're delivering, nice app which shows you all info etc.

why go to the trouble of building and maintaining mines in your expensive western country if you can just take all the minerals from african mines, while also getting the profits of these mines. no worries about salaries, no one cares when

Fedora Atomic and RHEL used to ship with rpm-ostree, new versions are now using bootc. the base philosophy is still to ship the OS as an image, but bootc goes more into layering like docker-images, so that you can deploy changes a bit more

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could b

i think it's the by now internet-meme worthy difference between walls in the US compared to most of Europe. i've never lived somewhere which didn't have thick brick or concrete walls. 30cm was a bit high, more like 20cm. i&#x

One of the new ones. Or I guess old ones? I mean I bought it new from Core Devices / RePebble, but it's the OG model. Pebble 2 Duo.

by 4ggr0 10mo ago
Ah I see, your model gives more details in a simple way. The one I bought is veeery barebones[0], I basically have to stop what I'm doing and look at the watch for a couple of seconds to figure out approximately what time it is... >

even a small country like Switzerland uses its highways to land fighterjets[0], wouldn't be weird to me if the US with their humongous highways uses them for the same reason. difference is that the swiss have to remove the middle crash

i definitely see the use for it, lots of moments where i wonder how or why something was started.
