Pay no attention to the ex-Intel CEO behind the curtain.

Buying a house increases the switching cost of moving to seek new job opportunities. Since we’re no longer in the days of pensions renting makes sense. Imagine buying a home in Detroit before inscrutable politics and macroeconomics caused it to decline; buying a home means you risk holding the bag, especially if you don’t know how to manage risk from climate change in the coming decades.

This has anti-S.P.E.W. don’t-upset-the-slaves-they-normally-like-being-slaves vibes.

“I’d like to raise a family. Let’s see what a 4-bedroom condo costs in the city with decent schools and transit. 2 000 000 USD? Hah. No kids it is, then.”

Another one that’s not corporate

Isn’t it owned by a company called Jetnet?

Justin Ling. (2023-01-27). “The Flight Tracker That Powered @ElonJet Just Took a Left Turn”. wired.com. Accessed 2025-10-16. “A major independent flight tracking platform, which has made enemies of the Saudi royal family and Elon Musk, has been sold to a subsidiary of a private equity firm. And its users are furious. ¶ ADS-B Exchange has made headlines in recent months for, as AFP put it, irking “billionaires and baddies.” But in a Wednesday morning press release, aviation intelligence firm Jetnet announced it had acquired the scrappy open source operation for an undisclosed sum.”.

I really enjoyed Chokepoint Capitalism (2022), the book he co-authored (read: had someone else back up his frequently repeated anecdotes with reputable citations in a proper Bibliography) with Rebecca Giblin. 90% of the interview can be found in that book already with 10% being new slogans and anecdotes that can’t be found in that book.

Punch the keys, for God’s sake!

That’s when you start spamming Page Up/Down, Home, End, and / to search within less. Usually seeing various commands jogs my memory, especially when they are grep commands searching for one I use often enough to be useful but infrequently enough to not remember off the top of my head.

$ history | grep 'gre[p]' | less -S

It’s better to compare yourself to a version that is successful together with your neighbors. At that point, you realize the stereotypical understanding of “success” is equivalent to “beating down your competitors until you alone stand above them”. Shared success is indistinguishable from being ordinary.

Same happened with me and a USB video capture card I bought specifically for Debian Linux compatibility. One kernel upgrade later… doesn’t work. Try again on old kernel? Works. I’ll probably try in a few months, but I can’t be bothered now.

Assuming you enter your password upon running sudo, isn’t there the risk of sudo’s privilege timing out if pacman takes too long to complete? I believe I tried something similar, intending to run a one-liner I could start then walk away from. However, I ended up returning to see the system not rebooted hours later.

Or is yes somehow supposed to take care of this? Sorry, newish Debian user here who hasn’t ventured outside the distribution much.
