Already possible, I believe. At least on client level: I’ve blocked a lot of junk in Voyager

Notification whenever there’s something in the mod queue of a board I moderate. At least I don’t see any such notification when using Voyager.

Norwegian here, and there are some common mistakes I see in people not used to the climate.

• When walking on ice, at least the very slippery kind, use short steps. It reduces the chance of slipping.
• And if you do slip and begin to fall, take it like a champ and sit down gracefully. The most comedic sights are the ones flailing to try and stay uptight.
• Buy a snow shovel.
• There are many expensive things sold as ice and snow thawers, but these are usually just variations of salt and gravel. Whatever salt you can buy in bulk at the grocery store works just fine. And any sand/gravel that you can find in the summer will do.
• When shoveling snow, clear a wider path than what you think you’ll need. A narrow strip is hard to keep clear after a while of heavy snowfall.
• If you have a car, make sure to have proper winter tires. If you do, you won’t have to bother with snow chains.
• Car batteries don’t like the cold. Make sure yours can hold charge well. Overdoing it with AmpHours is also a bonus.
• Get a scraper to remove ice from your windshield.
• Wet feet become cold feet. Stay dry. Wool socks are amazing at keeping your feet both warm and dry.

Tested it on linux mint, and it works just fine for me. 28G of RAM free, no swap in use.

Using Firefox 132, mo plugins/add-ons. Fairly stock Mint install, freshly installed yesterday.

Nowadays it’s the online account centric shite and all the privacy implications that come along with it. But even before that it was annoying to just trying to do the thing

Doing the thing on linux: command that does the thing
Doing the thing on windows: click here, click there, click some more, second tab, submenu, click advanced, type in the info, save, ok, “yes I’m sure”, click ok, click apply, close 626254 windows, reboot

If you use arch you have to start knitting

Well, with linux you get the option of sending mixed signals through the use of varying count of guns. I find 9 to be highly effective.

Because incineration or proper disposal is not the problem. Gathering and segregation is. Plus, launching that sort of payload is going to be insanely costly.

The sheer volume is manageable as it currentlyis, but it’s spread out so much that collecting it properly is going to take a lot of time an effort.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a bit of a misnomer, as it’s more of a vague area in which trash tends to collect. It’s not like an actual continuous patch that you can easily attack with a net.

Morning: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified
Noon: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified
Afternoon: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified
Evening: Check that it’s still there and keeping my body unified. Sometimes I shower before bed.

In other words: I don’t really have one, and it seems to be working

Because they’re a great surrogate for close counter friendships when none are available

Currently using a Galaxy S21 FE. I’m honestly not rhat picky, as long as it’s not apple, and as long as it’s fast enough, as my employers have paid for them. I got this one after being on the wrong side of the country while my phone died, so I had the shop clerk phone up the guy at the head office to confirm that I could just pick one and send them the bill. The S21FE was what was in store at the time, and I was kind of in a hurry, as I was in the middle of a projectrelated field work.

I’ve mostly stuck to Samsung because that’s the (mangled) version of Android that I’m used to. It takes some tampering with adb to remove the bloat, but once done it works really well.

The “best” phone (quotes, because I think that’s highly subjective) I ever had was the Galaxy Note 2. I loved that phone. Great stylus, good OCR, and once it got used to my terrible handwriting, it was much better and less prone to error than typing on the softkeys. The Note 3 through 6 were not available in my country, so I know nothing. And it annoyed the fuck out of me that Note 7 was a safety hazard, because beyond that it seemed like a really good phone. Sadly the later iterations of the Note series seem too cheaply made. Plastic stylus, etc.

Honorable mention: Openmoko GTK 2. I loved it, but the concept of a linux smartphone (or smartphones in general) hadn’t matured completely in 2007, so it wasn’t at the stage where it could replace my dumb phone completely.

Today, as mentioned, I’m not that picky. I feel like most phones are the same, except the ones that are too cheap. There is only so much useful hardware that can be crammed into a phone, and beyond that there are mostly improvements on things such as the camera. The rest comes down to software.

I was surprised to stumble across a BIOS battery yesterday when I was taking out the drives to copy out some data, so I guess that aspect of it all is OK.

Good idea. That is exactly what I’m gonna do if this works.

I live in the middle of nowhere, so getting a new one with the right specs could take ages, same goes for the tools needed, as all I have is a crude soldering iron.

What I do have, however, is a place where I can get an adjustable power supply with the right voltage. They had to ship one in with enough wattage from a nearby warehouse, though, so they said they’d have it for me on Monday.

What I also have is ability to get a new laptop if all this goes wrong s9mehow, so I’m not that concerned.

This was a concern of mine as well, but from the looks of it, the battery is really simple with no apparent on board intelligence.

Neither. By “we” I mean my colleagues and I at work. It’s a proprietary thing we use. I cannot share the name as it’s too easily googleable and doxxable, as it’s a highly niche system.

I can sort out the blue aspect through cheap spray paint, but I need to do some research on making a 19" rack round…

Heh, that made me realize that the trademark of the system we’re currently using, which is abbreviated into four letters, should have the first three in the opposite order.
