Wow, has my friend's page that I was looking for.. unfortunately not the music, I guess? sadness.. so close!!

Yup, I lost so much stuff I created back then due to hardware failure... I've learned to keep numerous copies of everything, but still.. a tough lesson indeed :\

Wow, hell yes, thank you. Found a very old remix a friend made of one of my songs! Unfortunately looks like another friend's songs weren't archived. A bunch of mine were though. Awesome! <3

Yeah, I've had now a couple decades of experience dealing with this, and my typical strat is to "step back" from the requested change, find out what the bigger goal is, and usually I will immediately come up with a completely

Oh, sure, but I literally just don't understand what their meaning is >_>

This is probably a dumb question, but.. what does "incoming" and "outgoing" mean?

Oh yeah, my daily driver is a 20-year-old vehicle. It has cost literally just a couple $thousand in maintenance/repairs in the time we've owned it (probably around 10 years? I forget). It's getting kinda rough, but like...

I was going to say exactly the same! Got a Kobo Clara BW a while ago -- great lil device. Took a while to figure out Calibre, but now that I understand it, it's very convenient. Prior to choosing an e-reader, I took one glance at Am

Oh, that's messed up. Aren't catheters supposed to be air-tight, sterile and single-use? Or do they reuse them?! >__>

nice, thanks, I'll take a look! Oh, yeah, this is absolutely perfect. Thanks again, that's amazing! It was really the only thing I wasn't sure about upfront for the person I'm thinking of. So awesome :D

Yeah, I just got a msg the other day from someone who's saying "Windows 11 won't work on my computer, what should I do?" .. I'm suggesting they try Linux. All they do is browse the web and play card games. Linux h

Install Linux or BSD on that thinkpad and you're good to go. I still use ThinkPad X230's and T480/A485's every day, with Linux and BSD.

I'd be curious how well it runs NetBSD or OpenBSD.. have you checked?

My layman thought about that is that, with consciousness, the medium IS the consciousness -- the actual intelligence is in the tangible material of the "circuitry" of the brain. What we call consciousness is an emergent property

The evolution thing is kind of a red herring in that we probably don't have to artificially construct the process of evolution, though your reasoning isn't a good explanation for why the "evolution" reason is a red herri

It's still very much alive! Regularly active on a few channels spread across different IRC servers. Still works great.

Hellz yeah. I'm at ~10 active users on my XMPP server and going strong. Finally something that won't unilaterally lock us out if we don't update every week, and we can chat from using any OS. We really do not care about &q

Yeah, Valve understood MS' position/power a long time ago and worked to mitigate that risk. I remember them shopping around nearly 15 years ago to find a partner to help them work on Linux and improve Steam's abilities there

You both wrote "bit riot" but meant "bit rot", right? I've been running a RAIDZ2 NAS (with ECC RAM) for like 5 years with no data loss/corruption issues. Are you saying if it was just regular RAIDZ there would

Someone high enough in the food chain at GitHub can override that policy at their whim. I have personally had my day saved by that very "loophole" in another "lost access to an online service" situation in the past.

Sorry, where did you find that text? I can't find the words "mainly whole grains", or even the word "servings" anywhere on https://www.heartandstroke.ca/articles/the-anti-inflammatory... .. m

Yeah, that's a ridiculously low bar for something that costs like $150/year, for that matter.

For real. My French always skyrockets every time I take any vacation to France, even for a week. After just one day I'm back to being able to understand a lot of what people are saying and respond pretty comfortably. It's also

Not sure why this is downvoted, this is correct on all points. I've been on a journey to lower chronic inflammation and you would not believe how hard it is to find stuff that doesn't have "fragrance" or other mysteriou

Yeah, I think it's actually a great skill to be comfortable with not getting attached to your code, and being open to refactoring/rearchitecting -- in fact, if you have this as a common expectation, you may get really good at writ
