Gaming on steam works on Centos/RHEL as well as Ubuntu too. While most folks would not think of Centos as a desktop OS, we end up using it for our dev workstations as it matches up nicely with production servers. Christmas time last

It was not too long ago that Ireland ruled that there was so much sugar in the Subway bread it was 'cake'. Sugar made up 10% of the weight of the flour. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/01/919189045&#x2F

Years back, I use to cover Europe and had taken Latin at University. Was use to stumbling through a language as there were enough common roots that I could parse enough words to sort of make sense of things. Got a work project in Tokyo an

You can call Java from Oracle's PSQL, so that makes it a super set including Java, right? :P (I've done things I'm ashamed of)

It is simple enough to set up windows to use the normal boot rather than the RAID one. I've got my XPS set up with one drive in Linux, one in Windows - and boot into the drive I want to be in.

Stupid light does not have to mean life or death. I was shaving a few ounces from my pack - and switched to a hex tarp for my hammock. Got caught up in a rainstorm where wind shifted directions, and ended up getting soaked. I picked up a

Certs make for good bonus fodder. The boss wants some sort of quantifiable achievement to pay out the MBO, certs are an easy way to go about it. The act of prepping for the test has value - even if the certificate themselves do not.

I'm hoping that if nothing else comes from this, that Ticketmaster suffers a fatal blow from this zombie apocalypses gap in live events. Truly a bane on any live event.

Heh. With ads, this was always one of the ways I could embarrass my Bride. You are reading '50 Shades of Grey' or whatever trashy novel shows up on the cover of her gadget. Always makes her blush.

Electronics are usually the key payload - but things like water, fuel, and other 'potential solids' could use a cheap way to get them out of the gravity well.

Code rots/rusts faster than most physical objects. Requirements change, libraries update at a breakneck speed. I've had to deal with some (functional) languages that don't allow you to change the the variable where some woul

I'm pretty convinced my i9 mac does not have a fan either. A noise maker, yes... but the 2018 model just seems to have a loud audible indicator that docker started. :)

The BIOS is configured for RAID rather than AHCI/SATA by default. Bumped into that with mine. It was fairly easy to modify Windows to not use the RAID version so I could boot into Linux on one drive and boot into Windows on the other

This is one of the few games that has gotten more expensive the older it gets.

I picked up a 17" Dell XPS with the updated monitor. It is absolutely glorious. Was able to add a M2 drive and upgrade the memory. Had to do a bit of work to get the killer nic to work with Linux, but it is a solid machine. It is r

If you can post it on a public repo, I'd love to see it. (same goes for the many others who use VIM as a daily driver)

For me, this means my Eden 5000 with a fanless C3 processor continues to be my longest running computer that sees continual usage for source code control. I think 2002/2003? CPU is 32-bit, so still chugging along with Gentoo these da

I'm usually my own worst enemy of messing with a working image, so if it was broken, it was usually my own fault. I use the same Bluetooth GPS receiver with Avare on an Android tablet in conjunction with a Pi and a pair of antennas. T

The Pi became part of my essential hardware for flying with the Stratux project. You could plug an RTL-SDR into a Pi, add a wifi adapter, and have it broadcast weather and other ADS-B equipped aircraft to some of the flying tools. With Av

Perhaps a silly question - but what is considered a black name? I could not tell you if the resumes that end up at my stage are filtered or not.

Getting close to Deer season. I hunt in northern Minnesota, and have really seen the wolf population take off. Watched a big one walk under my stand a couple years back. The coyote population is gone and you can hear the howls all around

Closed source. At that point in time I was trying to get Steam up and running on my Linux box to play some games which needed something more than stock. I'd only used the open source drivers for coding/work, which were lovely.

Ended up with the last few weeks of December off last year and sat down with the mission of getting my Centos 8 box to work with steam. The RX580 worked lovely for VIM, but... went on a grand adventure to get their drivers working. Oh wha

Back in the Spiderman 2 days, I worked for a content management company that was supporting a really, really big website. I believe they were playing host file games for Stage/Prod. Was in the room on when they demo'ed something

I love this analogy. Dealing with a minor set of updates ... that now need to be done in 60+ all slightly different codebases for this weekend. I'm using it in our next chat with the business side.
