This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

All that I can picture is a tug o war where one side is struggling and the other side lets go, and they all fall down. Only in this video you hear pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop as the line lets go.

The flip side is that now that cars have zero ashtrays, most smokers just throw the butts out the window.

The LED elements last a lifetime, but the driver transistors burn out as frequently as traditional bulbs

TIL that Linux users are a bunch of lucky crabs.

They had a big library, but not the user base. They were definitely not maintaining anywhere near the infrastructure and bandwidth of major streaming platforms. Netflix claims 260 million users. It’s not hard to get a giant catalog when you dont have to pay for it.

It really depends on where the office is in relation to your home.

Before covid and going WFH, the office was only 5 miles away on roads with no traffic. I would go back to this, no problem. Just enough to keep you on a schedule and get out of the house.

The biggest benefit of an office is that when you leave, you are gone until tomorrow.

When everyone is WFH, you never completely leave the office. I know boundaries, but in many cases, the lines can get a bit fuzzy.

Just wait until they start scraping the chans

I expect it to create the next Qanon.

I suspect that it’s because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

It depends on the exact nature of the failure. Controller errors are usually a complete failure. Media failure (magnetic spots on the disk or failed cells in ssd) are often sporadic and only impact data stored in those spots.

Regardless, drives rarely give you any warning. Look at any warning as a gift and get everything off and replace it ASAP.

No problem. Amazon, Max, or someone else can solve this problem by selling you channels in bundles for a discount over buying them all separately.

We will call the new service Cable TV.

Pause? Not Canceled?

Things never work out the way that you plan.

It’s a fine line between a clean noble death and being the guy who strokes out on the treadmill, falls, gets his nut sack wrapped up in the belt.

Too bad he wasn’t making dumb comments about Linux.

I’d love to see Linus unload one of his smack down rants on Elon.
