We have OEMs building systems that run Linux. Loads of servers run Linux, quite a few jobs require Linux experience - just annoyingly none near me at a level I can get.

Flip phones

Can they really get away with banning Linux from hardware though? It’s not like there are only 12 of us anymore.

Honestly surprised YouTube hasn’t just required DRM yet

Heard of the name but just like ben shapiro, don’t know or care about them. The memes about kirk were funny but now getting bored of it. There are worse things going on right now than some streamer getting shot.

Ok, if you want an approximate American unit equivalent to a megalitre think of it as cube that can fit a blue whale

I am not American, so why would I use an American unit of measurement?

Pretty sure postmarketOS isn’t made by a multi-billion dollar corporation. Such a requirement would mean ONLY multi-billion dollar corporations can release an operating system. You do not want to give them that power.

LEDs use very little power, with the cabin in the woods idea I would think its fairly safe to say a log fire is used for cooking, same thing to heat some water for cleaning. Fridge really doesn’t use much power if you look for something energy efficient, or just don’t have one. Its not like you can’t live without it.

I would have thought saying cabin in the woods kinda implies not having some things and living a simpler lifestyle?

I lived without a fridge for several months before, it’s not that difficult. Half the things I keep in a fridge don’t really need it anyway, like chutney and jam would last a fairly long time without it. Eggs in the UK don’t need the fridge either. IIRC the US wash off the protective layer on them so they do have to go in the fridge there.

LEDs use very little energy.

I can’t stop laughing at this as a unit of measurement

Sure, why not. But I was thinking a 4/5G router takes very little power, then a steam deck doesn’t take that much either. If that is all you need, few hundred w solar panels and a decent sized camping battery will probably do just fine. You don’t need to store a years worth of energy in one go if you can produce more than you use which helps during lower output times.

Then if your employer is mandating return to office, charge the battery there. Make the fuckers pay for it.

It isn’t so much limited by the geography but is made far more cost effective because of it. A long valley with a narrow exit means you don’t need to build much dam and store a vast amount of water.

As far as distance from populated areas, I dunno, I live in the UK so its kinda close enough not to matter too much.

Pumped hydro exists.

There is another option. Reduce your energy usage so much that you barely need anything. Cabin in the woods with wifi?

Ahh, so the win11 arbitrary hardware requirements bullshit

That sounds like an insane duration, even LTS distros are not usually anything like 15 years

Depends on the comparison. Better than sitting in silence, worse than touching grass.

Cheaters also are part of why I like coop games so much more. Join a random game with a cheater, doesn’t matter too much and you can leave. Play with a group of friends and that also goes a long way to eliminating them.

I’ll celebrate his even more
