The Craftsman is listed as originating in Southern California? This was news to me and is unsupported by anything that I have read. I always thought "The Craftsman" was a subset of "Arts and Crafts" with the "bung

How does your "baklit keyboard" factor into the question?

Unstable is hardly adventurous. I have ran unstable for 15+ years as my desktop/laptop. I have never had more than a couple hours of downtime and no data loss. Things rarely break in unstable anymore, that's what experimental is

Assuming something (that you care about) works a certain way without verifying the assumption is amateur hour. Why would NIST have servers in Europe? Almost all of the big national standards institutes have publicly available time servers

The author does not participate in any of the discussion there. Furthermore when you posted the link it only had 4 or 5 comments that added nothing to the discussion. The best example is this one: Https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2F

I am curious why you linked to reddit? There is nothing in the discussion (4 comments) that is not in the linked advisory. Looking back through your comment history you seem to do this a lot, even linking to discussion pages on reddit with

The top post in /r/linux right now is a link to imgur that is a screen cap of an Amazon question: Q: Does this keyboard support Linux? A: The keyboard is advanced but you can not run Linux on the keyboard. This is probably not wha

Sadly, it seems it is also the only example. Can you name four or five other subreddits that come close? I always felt like vommiting when I saw people recommend /r/woodworking, but I couldn't figure out why. I was reading an

I don't know about power management but configuring wireless is as easy as auto starting 'nm-applet'. I imagine you could do the same with the gnome or xfce4 power management applet.

I have never understood why people think kod is a useful setting. Why do you think a misbehaving/improperly configured client is going to honor the kod packet? The kod packet helps with some clients but I have never seen it change the

My big problem with lichess is that you are allowed to pick white when you set up your game request and/or if someone starts a match with you and they have black pieces they can cancel game after you make your first move with no penalt

I have never looked up a MAC and had it not show up. Maybe in 2007 you were using an old copy of the file that came with your distribution.

You should grab three or four bags of playground sand to add weight to the base. For less than $20 you would not have to worry so much about movement while planing. For a little bit more you could get some dumbbells and not have to lose all

The situation you are lamenting (and I agree with your sentiment) is not a "tragedy of the commons." I think you are trying to describe a collective action problem. Collective action problems are frequently brought up during a dis
