I feel attacked by this post. I self host Home Assistant, recursive proxy servers, RSS readers, photo managers, vscode, media servers, download managers, backup solutions, git, password databases, economy trackers… And if I need to print from my macbook I have to email the file to myself because in twenty years I haven’t ONCE been able to host my printer on the network in a way that works for more than three days before randomly breaking.

Well well well. Check mate, atheists!

As soon as I saw this post I jumped on xkcd. Glad I checked the comments before replying, or I would have made quite the fool of myself.

Oh no.

Anyway.

We should be able to figure this out. Which year, month, date and hour of the day was it?

”Better known as Windoze”

Stopped reading right there. Edgy 14 year old script kiddies can think whatever they want. I’m not interested.

Difference in temperature cannot be expressed in °C. It’s not 5 °C warmer today than yesterday. It’s 5 K warmer. You can say “five degrees warmer”, but not “five degrees Celsius warmer” or “five Celsius warmer”. “Five Celsius degrees warmer” is also correct, but who’d do that?

The reason is that the Celsius scale has a fixed offset. If your birthday is in a week, you wouldn’t say it’s “one seventh of January from today”.

Coal exist in the earth because back then the bacteria who could break down lignin and cellulose hadn’t evolved, so dead trees had the time they needed to compress. There are such bacteria around now, though, and that means there will never be any new natural coal.

I have no idea what you’re talking about…

Something something broken arms

So you’re saying they think it be like it is but it don’t?

I’ve seen that in style guides ”because it should piss of everyone equally”.

Who’s a clever girl?

My scrolling actually just stopped working with this post riiiight below screen…

Upvoting to save others from that fate.

Word for word, which doesn’t make sense. So it’s like saying ”7 fruits that not are for dogs” as would be the word for word translation of correct Swedish.

Depends on the language the script is written in. If it’s bash/sh then it’s usually just $VARIABLE

In Sweden it’s getting increasingly common to write “Open between 9 to 17” which is so wrong it hurts.

Between 9 to 17 AND WHAT???

I go the other way. I have linux installed pretty much just to run docker and qemu running windows with iommu passthrough. The performance hit is negligible, and with docker context you can run docker-cli and devcontainers and stuff in the windows vm like native.

I said I’ve been trying for 20 years. Obviously it’s a Brother.

This made me happy. Thanks!

LTTP slip your mind?

Not enough.

IIRC yes.

With English as my second language, the difference between terrible and terrific has always confused me.

All that space is there for a reason. Use it!

Awww I had forgotten about that. Now I’m sad.

Sorry, I don’t see it. Do you mean in a reply to a comment?

You’re a brave person.

I think OP needs to explain why a note taking app is not a diary app in their view.

Topologilinux?

Took me weeks to get my modem to work with that. Had to keeep rebooting back to windows to disl up to the net and check documentation and tutorials…

After that things picked up, though.

For airpods, just double tap the one you have set to Play/Pause and it will resume in your ears.

Glad you appreciate it for what it is.

A scandal involving Bill Gates riding a horse through a gate might be called Bill Gates’ gate-gait-gate.

Reddit knows who you really are, but facebook knows who you want to look like you are.

I’d think you’re much more likely to click ads based on the latter.

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words.

And I’ve been using it for eight six of those 15 in RAID 5/6 with zero issues, so YMMW I guess. Sorry you experienced problems.
