   Either you make money in China until the Chinese clone your tech and undercut you, or you don't make that money and they eventually clone and undercut anyway. Might as well enjoy the boost for a few months. I don't like that we&#x

   Nix is something that requires me to write a config file to install a package, right? Sounds incredibly unappealing. Why am I wrong?

   For real? All of those things are what I detest about having A Job. I bought a farm, am no longer working in a corporate job, and would rather die indigent than ever go back to that shit again.

   UBS needs so long to take a shit that there's hardly room for their next meal. I have no confidence that they even can pull this off, particularly if it involves haemorrhaging half the combines workforce in a desperate ploy to remain

    When you're chasing minimum power consumption, tho, a Pi4 (in my case, a CM4) with a 200MHz base clock, a USB3 card, a SATA card with 6 SSDs attached, running 3 Alpine VMs and a couple Docker containers will idle at 12W and perform s

    "Real communism has never been tried" is a meme. GP is referencing this meme.

    THANK YOU. I heard about this on This American Life in 1999, but couldn't remember the name of the zine or find the episode in their archives when it recently surfaced in my mind. Here's the interview with the founder: https:&#

    Ok but why on Earth would you run WSL in Windows on macOS when you could just run Linux on macOS or (gasp) use the UNIX layer in macOS for your hackery? Does WSL have some special sauce I'm missing out on? I never found it more compell

    Because the US Military will give you billions to do it for, I dunno, who cares, give money. And then a decade later, local police departments can buy the surplus and deploy it on the streets. Hooray!

    I, for one, just thought of ReactOS again 2 days ago after a large gap. Perhaps the Zeitgeist is presently weighted toward ReactOS. Can't possibly just be my own confirmation bias, because I'm a rational thinker, you see.

    I've broken one USB-C port since 2017, and it was in a power bank. The arcing was brief, and the smoke release moderate. Once I teased the remaining wire fragments inside the socket apart, I filled the socket with hot glue, and continu
