Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )

Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D

open gmail and see ublock report >1k trackers blocked What tracker bust?

Oh wait, torrents and stuff… never mind.

Duh

Not watching at all.

1. Not watching sport, ever.
2. Not in US, so don’t care.
3. It’s weekend, when we listen to the radio and don’t watch TV. (Nothing on anyway)

Local and off-site. (Not cloud)

Then those disks should have been wiped at the company before they were allowed to leave the building.

Welcome and have fun.

Sell them and buy low budget low power consumption disks that would fit my purpose.

Enterprise-grade usually has enterprise-grade power consumption. From the power saving alone you can buy nice stuff.

Nop, I don’t have a 4k library. To be honest, my TV doesn’t even know what HD ready is. It can handle 1080i, but full HD, nop. (And I already have a hard time seeing the difference between 720p and 1080p)

Depends on the setup. On my stereo it’s sometimes close, but always recognizable to me. (And yes, sometimes digital sounds more pleasing) On an average stereo, most just won’t hear the difference.

The biggest factors to tell analog from digital are

• quality of the source. (Bad recordings can sound better digital then analog or there is no difference)
• quality and training of the ears. (Aging limits the frequencies people hear, dropping the top well below CDs max of 22.1 khz)
• quality of the stereo. (Mostly the speakers)
• environment noise.

Nah, to much work, use curl to download a script and blindly run it…

Second that. I’m glad RPis are finally supported.

Ehm, probably 2 disks bough from the same batch. They usually die together. ;)

Yep, so you still need the old mediums. Also, analog sounds different from digital unless you take a very high sampling rate. (Some hear the diffeeence, same like some see the differense between HD and 4K and some don’t)

Why would you want to disable root?

Remote root login is disabled by default, local root disabeling is useless anyway, as when you have acdess to the physical system you can break it open anyway.

I own every outdated medium (alas, need to repair the 8-tracks) and the devices to use them. They hold music that’s most of the times not available via any other method.

The content is more valuable to me then the type of medium.

I haven’t bought new media in years. Last time I bougth new they were LP records, new pressings. For movies I just download or buy used, for music I almost always buy used and from time to time new when I really want to support the artist.

Yhe problem with limiting yourself to either pirate or just 1 type of medium is that you miss out on good stuff. At this moment I have music from every decade between 1890 and 2020 on LP, of which most will never be available digitally.

Then still you can set Linux as default. Lilo had an option to reboot with an option to set a 1 time default. (that was neat) On dual boot hardware, I always set the one I want to default boot, which is in my case always Linux. (must still have a dual boot laptop somewhere)

I already had games tell me I couldn’t spend when I didn’t order anything, so I’m good this way. No payment method linked to my account without a clear intent to spend that exact moment. Link paypal, spend, unlink paypal works perfectly. (or else when I have cash, buy a giftcard when the amount is close enough to what I want to spend.

Ubuntu has been around for 2 decades (close nough, octobet it’s 2 decades) and yes, Debian is 11 year older and now known for it’s desktop friendly use. That Debian caught up in the last decade is about time, but to late for the major population who want linux but not the hassle of manually configure the graphics environment.

To be honest, I see that most people of 30 and younger don’t know or care how a computer (or anything) works, it just works.
