Your entire explanation, while amazing, makes me sad at the exact same time.

Going to go out of the shooter box here and say Valheim. I am pretty sure it’s cross compatible with xbox and pc/steam deck. Might not be the thing though if you are just all wanting to pvp, but thought I would throw it out there.

Even Arbys has shrunk things down. And don’t get me started on them removing potato cakes!!!

Was riding my motorcycle up to the races at Laguna Seca in Monterey. As a photographer I had all my gear on the bike. Everything, it was packed. It is a sportbike so I didn’t have a lot of luggage. Just a tankbag that was filled to the top, and a backpack I had strapped to the rear seat, which is pretty tiny. Anyway on the way up the 101 I come across another motorcycle who pulls onto the interstate and up next to me. We ride for a while, and then as we get to an exit he motions for me to pull off and points to his tank. I decided that was a good time to get gas myself so I peeled in behind him. We get to the station and he takes off his helmet and he’s definitely in his 70’s or 80’s. I was in my mid 30’s at the time so it was cool to see an older rider. We were filling up our bikes and he asked if I wanted to grab a cup of coffee and I said sure. So we went inside and started talking, and he too was heading up to Laguna Seca for the races. He asked if I had ridden the 1 up to Monterey and I said that I hadn’t. He insisted that it was something you don’t want to miss. I explained that I had to pick up my press pass and was on a little bit of a schedule. We finished our cups (I had oj) and walked back out to the bikes. He said if I wanted to ride with him it was cool and that he was taking the cutoff over to the 1 and would be taking that exit. We hit the road and miles passed. I saw him point to the exit over to the 1, and move over. I waved to him and pointed straight ahead. I was just going to ‘get there’. He nodded his head and headed off the exit. As I was right at the end of the exit something in my head said ‘screw it’, and I jammed on the brakes and whipped over. When I got to the stop at the end of the exit he looked over and pulled up his visor and yelled “you changed your mind?” I nodded and away we went.

It was a beautiful ride, and we stopped again to get gas and were chatting again. We decided that we would stop up the road at a place he knew to eat. We then commented about each other’s bikes and for some reason we decided to swap bikes. I get on his bike, and he hops on mine, and away we go. About 2 miles down the road I am sitting there following him and had a realization… Everything I have is on my bike. Wallet, phone, camera equipment, clothes, etc. I started thinking, my bike is a lot faster than his bike and if he were to take off, I wouldn’t have any way of catching him. Then it occurred to me that I don’t even know his name. I could just imagine getting pulled over on his bike and trying to explain to the cops that this old guy let me borrow it, and then not being able to even tell them his name. I calmed back down and just got back into the ride and we swapped who led a couple of times. The view was/is absolutely spectacular so that kept my mind from going into overdrive. We got to the place to have lunch and pulled over. We both talked about the nice parts about each other’s bikes and we went in and he bought me lunch. We also exchanged names. I explained that when we got into Monterey I had to go over to a certain hotel to pick up my credentials. He was heading over to his hotel and then going to the track. We both hopped back on our own bikes and took off. When we got into Monterey we came to an intersection and I had to go one way and he went the other. We waved to each other and that was it. I really wish I could remember his name, but over time it has been lost in my mind. I think about him every once in a while and wonder things like what ever happened to him. I would guess he has passed by now, but think it would be cool to have one more chat and a quick ride on each other’s bikes if he was still around and riding. I just hope that one day some young kid remembers me as that old guy on the motorcycle.

Can we just end toll roads! Two years ago the legislature argued against capping rate hikes on property tax with the argument that it would unfairly benefit the rich (like they really give a shit). That sounds exactly like what a toll road does. Why doesn’t that same argument apply to our roadways?

This breaks my onion loving heart. These are dark times.

Maybe they can come up with some technology that would someday take the position of CEO. Think of the savings…

It sure doesn’t say when that was updated, but for a long period of time the use of drone when discussing unmanned aircraft was reserved for military craft that were usually armed and used to kill people. In the attempt to demonize hobby rc use, the press started calling simple quadcopters (and other propeller configurations if we are being pedantic) drones and not what they were normally called by the people using and making them in the hobby. My point still stands, the press likes to change the wording of things, and will perpetuate their narrative in order to garner views. Manufacturing fear is part of their tactic, and is why I replied what I replied to the question of why the press continues to push the false narrative of these cars being “self driving”.

so why do articles keep pushing the false narrative, even after it’s deemed illegal?

The same reason that simple quadcopters have been deemed by the press to be called “drones”. You can’t manufacture panic and outrage with a innocuous name.

Doesn’t matter, but they contradict themselves.

Headline: why isn’t everyone using it?
Body: This article breaks down what Linux is, why it’s great and how it secretly powers most of your favorite devices, from smartphones to servers.

So it looks like most everyone is using it, they just might not realize it. Which to me is a sign of a great product, when it’s use is completely transparent.

You have to watch this one too Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage and then follow it up with this Soundgarden - Rusty Cage.

Well this thread is going in my saved list.

For me, it’s an odd one, but my love of jets means that Van Halen - Dreams is my all time favorite video.

I remember sitting around watching MTV just waiting for it to come on. Other distinct memories from that era.

Van Halen - Panama
Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue

And just some random picks of mine:

Alice In Chains - Them Bones
Tool - Vicarious
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Herbie Hancock - Rockit

You guys must be doing a great job because this is the first I have seen of this!

Awww, sorry rockstar but due to your fucking of linux users with GTA Online, I won’t be spending any money on your products. I am sure this will mean nothing and no one will care, but I figured I would say it anyway.

Not sure what it runs natively, but I just set out to use a rpi to replace a machine I moved to another room. Just need it to run a browser and at most watch youtube videos. My rpi2 definitely wasn’t up to the task, so I went to a rpi 3b and unfortunately it isn’t up to the task either as the browser quickly chewed up all 1gb of ram and then used the 1gb of swap to where it came to a grinding halt even trying to open youtube. Plugged in a rpi4 with 8gb of ram and it seems to be doing the job. I have a rpi4 with 4gb, but didn’t even bother trying it. Resolution didn’t seem to be the issue for me, it was space, and possibly sd card speed, but I wasn’t going to fiddle with it too much. The rpi4 is working good and I am typing this reply on it.

Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.

This is where ACL permissions would help. He could give his new id ACL permissions to the files and that wouldn’t mess with the current permissions.

From the root/beginning subdir: sudo setfacl -R -m u:{replace with your new id}:rwx .

This is what I hear… Moon-gravity savings time brought to you by Carls Jr.

My distro had an update for cups, so I am guessing people are already on this. Pop Os is what I just loaded on this machine.

A guy in our data center couldn’t figure out who owned a particular machine that he needed to work on. So his solution to figure it out was to let them come to him. He went and pulled out the network cable and waited. He was escorted out a little while later. The moral of the story is don’t go disabling production machines on purpose.
