I did say fancy.

Aren’t sqilte files themselves (like most other things) just fancy text files?

Just in time for Google to kill RCS and move on to something else.

Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It’s subtle though. It’s often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven’t added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?

CUPS is probably the print server you’re thinking of.

From the article it does seem that the failure of ability isn’t strictly related to computers per SE, but to an over all inability to think about the word problems given in an abstract and mathematically coherent way. They seemed to ask participants to solve what are essentially database query, reading comprehension, critical thinking, and logic problems in the context of an email suite. Word problems can be hard for anyone that hasn’t studied and practiced how to decipher them. It’s just that using a computer kind of forces one to confront those gaps in what should be a fundamental part of highschool education. Math and science classes aren’t just solving problems by wrote memorization or memorizing the periodic table, they are about problem solving. Lots of people fall through the gaps and don’t get that one special teacher who understood this.

Sometimes I get a particular kind of headache. Listening to loud music with heavy bass can help ease the headache. Singing along to my playlist of songs I might sing at karaoke from my belly loudly also can help ease the pain a bit. So yes, I guess it can be relaxing.

In my experience, 2 devices will ultimately save you effort and frustration. Anything you choose as a good NAS/seedbox will be unlikely to have a good from the couch interface or handle Netflix reliable and easily. A small Android TV box may have a much better interface, simple app setup, and support all the streaming services, but probably won’t be very powerful or convenient to use as a NAS. The NAS is always on, plugged directly into the Internet access point, and tucked away out of sight and sound. The Android TV or Apple TV box is silent, small, and can be mounted directly to the Beamer/Projector.

Yes, Kodi exists and it’s add-ons can bridge this gap. But I still think that a SBC NAS running Jellyfin or plex + an Nvidia shield with jellyfin, Plex, Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, amaon, etc. will be so much easier to setup, manage, find support for, and upgrade.

I have a similar setup even though my server has a direct HDMI link to my TV. I’m not a fan of viewing using the server it from the couch. Setting up IR remotes sucks always. And it’s confusing for anyone but me to use. But if my Nvidia Shield dies or I’m having network trouble, VLC a pretty good backup.

Maybe they are illuminating their living room with the front end of a BMW.

Better yet, it’s a Pimp My Ride style makeover that replaces those unused turn signals with a projection system for an instant drive-in movie experience.

This is gonna sound odd, but have you cleaned out the USB port lately? Weird stuff happens when pocket lint collects in there. I thought mine had a dead port until I picked out (with a non-conductive toothpick) the lint I didn’t realize had accumulated.

Not being able to identify a railroad crossing without a gate is a failing of the car not the train. Gated crossings are not guaranteed, nor should they be because they don’t make sense for every situation in which roads and tracks cross.

If you can remove the alcohol from any “cocktail” and still have more than just flavored ice or a dirty glass, you were drinking slightly alcoholic mocktails the whole time.

Old Fashioned mocktail is a cherry on top of a large ice cube that you’ve used to bludgeon some sugar and an orange.

A Sazerac mocktail is akin to an empty glass someone just drink a sweet lemony drink from. You don’t get the lemony drink, just the dirty glass.

A margarita mocktail is salty lime flavored ice. This is basically a daquiri mocktail too, adding a strawberry seems popular.

A Manhattan mocktail is a sweetened cherry in an otherwise empty glass.

A mojito mocktail is a bit more substantial, minty sugar water with a hint of lime.

A mint julep mocktail, again just minty sugar water.

A white Russian mocktail is just a glass of cream over ice.

A mimosa mocktail is just a nearly empty glass of orange juice.

The non-alcoholic parts of a cocktail are rarely more than a quarter of the volume if they’re made properly. Most cocktails are a half oz of sugar water and a citrus flavor. The other 2/3 of the volume (not counting the ice) is alcohol. Just order a soda, soda water (with or without a garnish), tea, or my favorite a Topo Chico and lime.

Congratulations on mansplaining the headline. Did you have something constructive to add?

That’s not the point OP is making. So what’s your point?

Using ANY Linux gives off hipster vibes to the average user.

The USA does not produce agricultural products in a vacuum. We live in a time of global markets requiring global intelligence to support the decisions of local agriculture. The war in Ukraine has been a pretty clear lesson on that topic.

Also, the US has a history of building and supporting infrastructure projects that are global in reach and benefit, even if they were executed with American interests first. This mostly takes the form of global scientific data products made public. GPS is another high profile project originally designed to benefit the U.S. and later made publically available not just to U.S. citizens and interests, but globally public.

Why do they do it? Obviously because the U.S. is an evil empire bent on global dominance and destruction. /s

I’m just curious how much RAM you think that is.

Docker compose is just a setting file for a container. It’s the same advantage you get using an ssh config file instead of typing out and specifying a user, IP, port, and private key to use each time. What’s the advantage to putting all my containers into one compose file? It’s not like I’m running docker commands from the terminal manually to start and stop them unless something goes wrong, I let systemd handle that. And I’d much rather the systemd be able to individually start, stop, and monitor individual containers rather than have to bring them all down if one fails.

because most Linux systems don’t even use DHCP

This is the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day.
