All well and good if you are employed, well off and rich. But if AI starts eliminating jobs, even being rich may not help you in the coming crash. Why a crash ? Most people will not be able to buy anything other than a bit of food and pay

Well if true, the good news is there will be no need to file a FOIA ( https://www.foia.gov/how-to.html ). We just wait for the next Microsoft breach :) For example, "Microsoft says bug causes Copilot to summarize confid

FWIW, you can generate your own random PW on any UN*X Type system, I think on MACs also: For example: tr -cd "[:alnum:]" < /dev/urandom | fold -w 20 | sed 10q Change "alnum" to "print" to get other

US is far easier to get to. Just go to a Maine or NH beach the the summer. People from Quebec are everywhere. FWIW, you have not lived until you see a way overweight man wearing only a tiny bikini bathing suit :)

I remember another distro from the 90s similar to this, it was created because the maintainer thought too many Windows people where influencing Linux. I forgot what it did, but I think it wiped your system out too.

I am surprised by that too. I thought everyone moved to SDDs or NVMe ? I was toying with getting a 2T HDD for a BSD system I have, I guess not now :)

Not all *BSDs is FreeBSD :) A NetBSD posted a blog stating NetBSD is having issues porting Wayland due to Linux specific items. OpenBSD stated something similar. Both articles indicated it will be a very long time, if ever, to get Wayland

Congratulations! >Full support for the Wayland UI I really hope they never deprecate X11 support :) I doubt they will, but if they do, it will leave the BSDs without a good alternative.

What a surprise, IIRC in Hong Kong there was a platform that was fully decentralized. HK protesters used it on their phones during their uprising and China could not block it. Maybe it is time people move to that. Sadly I forgot its name

I liked B5 far more, it tended to show people as real people. A good example is Walter Koenig, to me he was amazing in B5, at times you hated and loved his character, even at the same time.

I heard the same back then, plus IIRC B5 did or tried to sue Paramount for copying their plot for DS9. I believe the series was offered to Paramount first but they said no. There were a few news articles about that in various entertainment

The main question is why use Telnet when ssh is available. Some people mentioned routers, maybe that is why. But I would think in this day and age routers would now use ssh. I do remember reading a long time ago telnet does/can suppo

At this point, time for the world to ignore everything the US Gov. says, assuming they are even paying attention to these agencies. The big question I have, are there any corresponding agencies in the EU or China we should be paying attenti

Pretty good, but not granular enough. For example, the area I grew up in is much cheaper to live in that the metro it is tagged to. The two areas are separated by 15 miles (~24km). If you live in a large city, then it works great.

I think it is due to China. I remember Singapore was a large financial center for Asia, but China's rapid growth overshadowed Singapore. I also think Hong Kong is going through the same thing, plus I believe China is trying to make Sh

I fully agree, seems Linux is heading directly towards being a Windows Clone. So far all the windows crap can be easily avoided, but once these things are forced on me, it is bye bye Linux. Already I use BSD on an older laptop probably 40%
