You should keep posting on Usenet too…rec.+

Implanting is basically this, if they could make photoresist sensitive to arsenic or phosphorus.

No lie. Gray market Mercedes were awesome. Way more powerful and you could get base models with zero cruft - manual transmissions and wind up windows.

Corel Linux

Yeah that Minecraft setup is ridiculous now, then you get ads.

You don’t even need a bread maker. Couple cups of flour, yeast, oil and salt with some warm water in a bowl mixer makes most excellent pizza dough.

kalpol ,

Look up the basic pizza dough recipe from America’s Test Kitchens. Super easy, and you can add garlic rosemary or whatever you want to it.

The thing about Vegas is that they have figured out, no matter who you are, a way to extract money out of you.

kalpol ,

I’ve always wondered why no one thought of redesigning the jack. Have it just be form-fitted outside contacts, with magnetic adhesion to hold the plug in place. There isn’t any real reason it has to be a socket.

The reason is of course the masses just use Bluetooth, or deal with the dongle, because they absolutely must have an iPhone.

Works great for freshening up the disposal

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Running Opensuse, suspend/hibernation works fine. Older hardware though

kalpol ,

MS doesn’t care about the desktop operating system except how can they control it like Apple and iphones. All the money is in O365 and Azure these days.

There is a copy of it, the original appears no longer available

I don’t know about slim but I love OpenSUSE. It is super stable, I’ve run it for about a billion years. You can use the installer to just choose the server light install.

II use Debian for some build machines.

kalpol ,

They’re all headed that way. And Google wants to do it to PCs too.

Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

I’m looking for something to replace cloud storage for myself and family. I’ve tried to use/like NextCloud but honestly I despise it. The UI/UX really bothers me, and administering it is a pain. It also just does way more that I want or need....

kalpol ,

Yeah I don’t see the issue here. Don’t install a bunch of random plugins, set it up as recommended, and Nextcloud is just fine and has a nice mobile app and functions.

kalpol ,

I’ve had it. Wasn’t live, exactly, no head. just the legs they chopped off were still writhing.

kalpol ,

Not that it makes eating ortolan any better, but the shame thing is made up. It’s to inhale the brandy fumes.

Raymond Hill is a hero of our times. Not even kidding.

kalpol ,

True, true

kalpol ,

You can use something separate like Zoneedit for the DNS records

Old Proliant cube servers

I’ll never forgive them for editing the original House theme song based on Teardrop out of the DVDs.

kalpol ,

No Lineage support for Fairphones?

kalpol ,

Ditch Ubuntu too. Mint or OpenSuse are very good alternatives.

kalpol ,

Two things keep Windows around. Office/Exchange and remote management. Nothing really works that well in any other ecosystem.

kalpol OP ,

Admittedly I have not dug too deeply into Proxmox but its learning curve appears kinda steep.

kalpol OP ,

I need full on segregated machines sometimes though. I’ve got stuff that only runs in Win98 or XP (old radio programming software).

kalpol OP ,

Doesn’t mean anything right now if you are running ESXi, except you can’t reinstall ESXi unless you kept the image and you won’t get ESXi updates.

kalpol OP ,

I’ve seen you recommending this here before - what’s its selling point vs say qemu-kvm? Does Incus do virtual networking without having to straight up learn iptables or whatever? (Not that there is anything wrong with iptables, I just have to choose what I can learn about)

kalpol OP ,

Lol no, just old radios. My point is just that my requirements are pretty widely varied.

kalpol OP ,

Sort of. The activation license will work as long as you have it. They won’t renew support though, which effectively kills it when the support contract runs out.

kalpol OP ,

Old Motorolas, they really hate users.

kalpol ,

Yeah I experimented with Truenas in a VM, it randomly dropped the pool. Do not do this.

kalpol ,

Lot of places don’t accept Google Voice numbers any more (or VOIP in general). They straight up want your cell.

kalpol ,

Follow the guides, if you have a supported phone. It is really nice for supported devices. But do follow the instructions exactly.

kalpol ,

Meanwhile, the OG OS has more vulnerabilities probably

I still have the inflatable penguin that came in the box

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

“Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

Plex is not great for privacy or ownership these days. Jellyfin or Kodi are much better.

kalpol ,

Try Zoneedit. I’ve had them for years and barely glanced at them.

How it is in Texas too.

OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.

kalpol ,

Loool I’ll leave it

kalpol ,

only allow YouTube in app and in seriously locked down Web-Environtment-Integrity browsers

This is exactly what they want. Remember their github with the OS integrity authentication service? They’re already there with phones and Chromebooks, now they have to control PCs.

kalpol ,

I wish the LEDs weren’t such crap. They don’t even last as long as a 60W incandescent a lot of times. The old CFLs last years, I have a few over ten years old.
