Do you still start in 1st? Do you skip gears?
“Can you hold it” was meant as “abstain from pooping for just a little longer,” but was instead interpreted as, “poop, and then hold the poop in your hands.”
I think you mean more scrupulous, not less.
If you lose power, you can use one of these cables to power your house (or at least, the part of your house on that phase).
This is not how you should do this, but it can work. It is not a good idea (possibly illegal?).
Hopefully you can publish in an open-access journal — if not it would be great if you could share an arXiv preprint :)
You said that no one…
I don’t think that was the parent commenter though…
You experience the passage of time as ever increasing in speed, and before long the universe has died, leaving you — immortal and sentient — alone in the cold, dead cosmos, for eternity.
Bonus points: use non-qwerty keyboard for added obfuscation (but keep the qwerty key caps of course).
I’d say it gets a little different with command line utilities — maybe “utility” is the appropriate term here, but I’d call something like grep
a program, not an application (again — “utility” also works).
To be sure, grep
is extremely powerful, but its scope is limited.
Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that’s not why we do it.

I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it’s nice to have computers seem “fun” again.
At least, that’s my perspective.
What strings are you referencing here? Is the financial counseling mandatory?
Not everyone is eligible for this, but that’s kind of a different issue.
Whatever you decide for your laptop, I’m a proponent of a barebones off-site setup if you’re trying for 3-2-1 backup or similar.
I use a raspberry pi 3 with a single HD (ZFS) retaining some number of daily/weekly/monthly snapshots. Daily rsync, everything over WireGuard+VPS (TailScale would work too).
Others mentioned virtualization — I have had issues with COW filesystems (btrfs), as COW does not always play nicely with VM drives (extreme fragmentation and very poor performance).
I don’t know how compensation works in academic administration, but if there’s any vesting going on then you could “take a pay cut” but end up making more due to previous compensation vesting.
Certainly possible for public companies, but again, unsure if that could be the case for a university president…
from stdlib.h import cout
Wait this looks wrong, shit…
Anything can use it, but I think by convention it’s used for http on a non-privileged port.
Maybe there’s some interplay between amd64 and x64 architectures.
AMD64 and x64 are the same thing. Do you mean AMD64 and x86? There is definitely interplay there, as AMD64 implements the x86-32 instruction set.
Same — rsync to a pi 3 with a (single) ZFS drive at family’s house. Retain some daily/weekly/monthly snapshots.
I have a (free) VPS with static IPv4 which is how I connect everything.
Both the VPS and the remote site have limited network speed (I think 50Mbps for VPS), so the initial sync was done sneakernet (well…“airplane net”). Nightly rsync is no problem bandwidth-wise, and is mostly just any new videos I’ve uploaded to my local Immich instance.
I just wish they made toddler clothes in my size.
