Been running Fedora on an X260 for a couple years. ThinkPads generally have good support with the cutting-edge distros because of their popularity (which is because of their robustness and repairability).

In their write-up about Internet vanlife, they mention that they use Google Maps location sharing, which does work. If anyone needs an open source, non-google solution for sharing and tracking your location with others, OwnTracks works grea

> — In case of traffic stops invoking the 5th may be overkill and polite talk may be productive, unless body or car search (or canine sniffing) is involved. Agreed. Being polite is 100% the way to go, even if the officer is being a jerk.

Ugh my grandparents gave me a modern 36in Trinitron when I was in college. I ended up leaving it with one of my old roommates when I moved out, mostly because I didn't want to move it again. It felt like it was made out of solid glass,

I don't understand why it could drastically increase the price of a Macbook. I can buy a ThinkPad or a Dell Latitude/Precision with a Sierra Wireless 4G M.2 card for only an extra $2-300, basically the price of the card if you wer

I do agree that the CloudWatch console search is like this, where you need to type out the entire string from the beginning to get it to match. But for the CloudFormation and Lambda consoles, I can just type a piece of the string I'm

Ugh, the catalog of Frontline is insanely huge. What, am I supposed to pay $24.99 per DVD of previous episodes? uh, no, I will not. Please PBS, give us real access to your catalog.

The US generally has sustainable fishing and farmed-fishing laws and monitor catches and stocks. I don't know if there is a law that tracks nets per boat, but maybe there should be. Regardless, if you keep track of where your fish come

Couple things. 1. Why update an app when you're in the middle of using the app? I dunno, I use Fedora, so I don't execute 'dnf update' until I'm ready to reboot the system, usually because I'm anticipating a ke

Try being a single dude in your 20s/early 30s without some "social proof" when trying to talk to 30 and younger girls. They will immediately think you are a weirdo for not having that proof that you're not some sort of l

Roku and Android apps work great in the Philly area. Amazing for someone who is in a valley with poor reception ability when using an indoor antenna. I hope this service wins in the long run.

A product like this is primarily for people who already eat beef, who may be wanting to cut back on their meat consumption. Most vegetarians/vegans I know would never bother trying a product like this.
