Kickstarter has fewer projects of this kind than the other crowdfunding platforms. I thought they are not allowing them completely, but apparently not. Yet in general, Kickstarter has higher quality content than other platforms.

Tangentially, there are still netinstall (mini.iso) and Lubuntu Alternate images (which allow to install a basic command-line system and go from there) with a text-based installer which DO fit on a CD.

You would be better off using an Alternate Lubuntu CD or netinstall (mini.iso) Both have a text-based installer with the option to 'Install a command line system', then go from there. I'm figuring how to install an awesome WM

FWIW, the site is blocked in Russia, though the most regular proxy works around it just fine, yet. I wonder what have the author written to trigger the censorship filter. The halter of censorship is pressing ever stronger. Пора валить :(

I understand "related to cooling" as Mac Pro's cooling in this setup is 5-10x more efficient.

Thanks for the tip re: Timbuk2. They are offering a bike share if you leave your driver's license and CC as a guarantee. I really wouldn't want to leave my CC; I wonder if this is legal.

OTOH, at least there are second-tier vendors. I haven't been following FPGA development, and I thought there's just ALTERA and Xilinx. Do you know any others?

How can you optimize for better compression ratios with gzip?

by listic 11y ago
I understand that generated log files are generated upstream of you, but how much does compressing them actually wins? I guess for most of us it's better to just search plain text files, if possible?

Just adding '(2014)' should be good enough for everyone, I think.

Doesn't work for me. Is there a threshold for dividing? OTOH, the game is choppy as hell for me, maybe that's the reason.

Has there been a Release Candidate milestone this cycle? Wiki says there should have been, [1] but there isn't any on the servers. [2] Or, maybe I should read '25 April 16th', 'ReleaseCandidate' on Ubuntu wiki [1] a

I thought DAB is dead, really. How widely is it adopted worldwide? Here in Russia it hasn't even launched, and there are no plans for it; and I certainly haven't heard worldwide news about it for a while.

I guess I have to try it. I think they could have explained how they are different and what their point is, on their site. Their Human Interface Guidelines are 'coming soon' https://elementary.io/docs/human-in

What do you love in OS X? What kind of software did you use that switching OS was no problem for you? Did anything that working differently on your previous OS annoy you at first? Some of the software I used heavily on Windows, I was very r

I'm sure you can run Linux without a virtual machine of any kind on a Mac. With the right hardware (which MBP of some generation just might be) there's no need to fuck around; everything just works (and, unlike Windows, you can co

Yep, just tried it in stores a few times. Well, too bad for Apple, since I don't feel like buying a machine just for experimentation (maybe I will, sometime, but I don't feel like it right now). I respect Apple's approach to
