Systemd is still a mess. I've currently one machine that hangs on reboots because systemd is unable to shut down some service and another that gets its journals corrupted periodically.

It's very interesting that you mention the culture be "northern" in nature. Mid-day nap culture is still very much alive in really hot countries, where it's practically impossible to work mid-day.

Don't forget all the tracking and the profiling. They hardly ask your consent for that. I really wouldn't feel bad about any adblocking. And for anyone that wants to run ads : just serve them locally in a sufficient format and

On my Android there is an option to configure notifications on per app basis. It works very well. Filtering different types of FB notifications is really a problem that needs to be solved in their app, not in Android.

It is a notebook . You carry it with you when you travel somewhere and then dial back to your supercomputer for the heavy lifting.

I compile my own ... for fun mostly. There are performance gains in selecting the correct CPU architecture for your machine. I have some old machines and it really makes a difference vs. distro stock kernels. The modern procedure (for upgra

I destroyed my 600MHz Pentium III while fiddling with the cooler. A corner of the chip broke off. I used the same motherboard and bought an adapter which allowed an upgrade to a 1,3GHz PIII Tualatin. It had a proper headspreader so the inst

Well actually the parking lots are especially difficult due to lack of eye contact. But I get your point. People compensate by being very careful when parking and of course you can always roll down your window if the situation requires it.

Eye contact is another thing that doesn't apply in some Asian countries where by default everyone has dark tinted windows making it virtually impossible to see inside other vehicles.

There definitely exists a sort of pre-cognitive human quality to traffic. Sometimes you just slow down on a subconscious hunch without any information on that particular situation. Or you might be very conscious not to slow down if you&#x2

In some countries you have to pass a medical examination which includes a vision test. The driving schools also have theoretical tests where one has to identify objects in a picture, interpret the situation, and propose the correct action.

As I stated before, setting the outbound policy to drop all traffic will work. You then allow whatever you need for your trusted executables (not svchost.exe).

by qplex 9y ago
There is simply no traffic on the wire other than what you actually allow. The telemetry doesn't bypass Windows firewall. Please stop spreading misinformation.
173.
by qplex 9y ago
This is incorrect. I've run packet analysis to confirm that the built-in firewall blocks, among other things, telemetry - what is your source for this?
174.
by qplex 9y ago
Or you can just simply block outbound traffic by default and allow what you actually need. No more forced updates. No more telemetry.

Exactly. Windows 10 automatic updates have a history of bricking machines to endless bootloops. I've had it happen eg. with broken microcode updates. Not to mention mundane stuff like broken display drivers that render machines unusabl

I'd prefer a reliable 1Mbit link (or even slower) instead of the whims of 3G/LTE/4G any day. I'm a bit far from the nearest tower. On a lucky day I can get 3-4Mbps down with 100-200ms round trips, low packet loss. Unluck

The Shut-ins. I think the definition is accurate enough: people who recluse inside their rooms or houses for extended periods of time and don't have any real life social relationships. So not just 'lonely'. Also to get food a
