Ok, you're right, let's give putain all the territories he wants.

It was a struggle. You went to buy some device and you had to check it was not one of those windows-only ones. Modems were particularly bad, for example.

You had to read the how-tos and figure things out. Mailing lists and newsgroups were the only places to find some help.

You had to find the shop willing to honour warranty on the parts and not on the whole system, as they had no knowledge of Linux at all. But once you found them, you were a recurring customer so they were actually happy. You might even have ended up showing them memtest86!

You would still be able to configure the kernel and be able to actually know some of those names, compilation would take several hours but it was a learning experience.

You could interact with very helpful kernel developers and get fixes to test.

You could have been the laughing stock of your circles of friends, but within you, you knew who'd have had the last laugh.

And yes, Loki games had some titles working on Linux natively, Railroad Tycoon was one. Too bad they were ahead of the times and didn't last much.

Like the S in IoT stands for security. Got it.

You are right. I once heard a pilot say "popping flares", so that's my usual choice.

Try putting -vvv when you connect and see what's happening. I can imagine this happening if you have multiple identities (private/public key pairs) on the client and you hit a max retry limit. Pub key is always tried first, and it should ask for password once all the local keys have been tried.

Unfortunately falcon self updates. And it will not work properly if you don't let it do it.

Also add "customer has rejected the maintenance window" to your list.

They will suddenly stop supporting them after a few years

I miss "lp1 on fire" :-(

Nice. Now work on storage solutions to cover nights.

Ok, you first.

Good riddance, I guess?

At the cost of sounding naive and stupid, wouldn't it be possible to improve compilers to not spew out unsafe executables? Maybe as a compile time option so people have time to correct the source.

Except infosec team

I hope nobody in their sane mind considers bargaining with Russia anymore.

Gotta start with something

Thank you and all the others that took time to educate me on what is for me a "I know some of those words" subject

There's an even worse thing: timezone selection UIs that don't let you choose UTC

I like your WAR acronym

It looks more like they stole everything that could be removed. Even the floor tiles! Takes dedication to do that

Boh, my average experience is "apt install foo". Let's not perpetuate myths.

Clean install on a new computer. Then upgrades until the computer gets retired. Debian at home, Ubuntu server at work.

I like playing with distros and other OSes in VMs, if the thing doesn't have a well defined upgrade procedure it gets ditched pretty soon.

Now... why the hell there's a group of people making a tyre submarine, and why does shuttershock have a picture of it?

Of course it's KT.

You can choose KDE as desktop environment during Debian installation, or replace whatever DE you installed at any time.

And why is that? Why don't the russian federation people have any control on that? They should be able to get informed and vote, no?

Self recharging vibrator

This happened once with the Cuban crisis, and humanity still exists thanks to the level headedness of JFK. I'm not sure the situation is comparable as, afaik, no new nukes have been stationed in Europe after the end of the cold war. And it is useful to remind that nobody would have felt the need to join NATO after the end of cold war if they hadn't felt threatened.

Ok. He's copying putain. We are doomed

Except he won't be the one to rule the new world, china will. Master strategist indeed

And don't forget to defrag, while you are at it.

I had something like this and if I remember correctly it had to do with antialiasing. Try changing that settings

Wait until you hear about Boring Company 's rogue tunnel diggers...

That, but also the fossil fuels underneath Ukraine, let's not forget about those.

In the last 30-ish years nobody in Europe had considered Russia "the enemy", on the contrary a lot of people were happy of doing business with them and putain could have chosen a path to integration with the rest of Europe and "the West" in general. I even dreamt of them being a civilised part of EU, along with the rest of the countries on the continent. But no, he had to revive the tsarist empire instead.

That one is near Sochi. As much as I'd love seeing it razed to the ground, unless they can prove it's a military site, they won't attack it.

Some local insurgents, maybe....

Are you saying that jabber is the ipv6 of messenger world?

There's a sizable amount of copper too, to power the repeaters
