I have too many toothbrushes

  • Why do some people make such a big deal over ages of someone's account on here?

    Jump

  • Voyager app shows age of accounts if new, in bright yellow. So when I notice someone new interacting like an articulate human being, I am extra nice to them, and if not, I vigorously ignore it and move on.

  • I Have to Ask. Which Instance Was Online During the Cloudflare's Outage?

    Jump

  • Uh? What outage? When?

  • Tape containing UNIX v4 from Bell Labs (c. 1973) found in a storage room at the University of Utah – potentially the only complete copy

    Jump

  • What does "700 GP 3200 FCI" means ? One should be the length of the tape I guess.

  • Deleted

    What are your thoughts on mandatory military service?

    Jump

  • It's the only way of having a truly "popular" army, one you can't have to do your shortsighted near-term political objectives, but will only really stand to defend their own.

    There are many pitfalls in such endeavours : the first not having an entire brainwashed target population for service (no, I'm not going to name names: there are just too many), the main second is having both alternatives possible for true pacifists & no easy way of avoiding it / having it too easy through class or education etc.

    Belgium used to have a choice of 1 year military or ...2 years civil service. I think it was fair, if you really can't stand to bear arms, go lift gurneys and wash hospitals floors for 2 years.

    In any case, it is always better than a "professional" army where (mostly) clueless kids exchange their literal lives for a salary, some form of job security and stuff.

  • How many virtual machines can you nest?

    Jump

  • By spinning headless server machines, you'd probably run way more of them. And the process of allocating ressource, transferring image and spinning it will probably be much faster.

    Tell us how it goes!

  • What's the last song you found that was so good you had to let it play on repeat a couple times?

    Jump

  • Igorrr "blastbeat falafel" - tho it's not the only one from them that I tend to have on repeat.

  • What's something you do that is not "age appropriate"?

    Jump

  • Eating gummy bears.

  • Anyone got any recommendations for mens cargo pants?

    Jump

  • My summer job gives us Mascot workwear. They're so great I wear them all the time.

  • Does anyone actually take into account "IP Rating"/"Water Resistance" when they buy phones?

    Jump

  • Battery life (>5000mAh) and price (<$200) comes first - long days of work, often outside, it'be nice but.

  • Nissin or Maruchan? (Chicken Flavor)

    Jump

  • Yum Yum or Mama

  • what's your ringtone?

    Jump

  • Back when Vivaldi was a young punk, starved and with way too much funky ideas in his head, the only job he could find was as a teacher for girls in a convent.

    Unleashing of the craziness ensued: with 60 pupils at hand, he started chain-writing pieces for string quatuors and quintets.

    It's called "Estro Armonico" and nr 8 on the Café Zimmerman' recording is my ringtone. I always pause a bit before picking up a call.

  • The worst mistake I could have possibly made with Linux...

    Jump

  • Ubuntu Studio is an excellent choice to get you ~started~ busy doing your things. It's a work of love, from passionate people, going at it for many years now.

    The only drawback is that the bundle is overstuffed, for my use case there's just too much stuff in there lol (sound eng)

    Enjoy yourself, test your creativity against the available tools, and make stuff. That's the important part: making!

  • Rip my VHS tapes, or download?

    Jump

  • The ethical pirate would rip them and make them available as torrents. Out of 500, there's probably a lot that is unfindable.

    Start with your favorites, go as far as you (and your bandwidth) can.

  • Linux on Snapdragon X Elite: Linaro and Tuxedo Pave the Way for ARM64 Laptops

    Jump

  • Yeah, tho I'm doing the opposite : Asahi on a macbook pro. Works great while indeed hurting conviction.

  • Linux on Snapdragon X Elite: Linaro and Tuxedo Pave the Way for ARM64 Laptops

    Jump

  • So a 12.5 screen, 12Ah battery, 2kg laptop with only USB A ports available in 6 months for a starting price of 1550€ - Please excuse the slight irregularity in my eyebrow line here.

  • What's a movie you can watch often and it never gets old?

    Jump

  • Singing in The rain

    Casabianca

  • What local, national or international journalism do you support financially?

    Jump

  • The Guardian

  • Obligatory monthly "what's your hot take?" question

    Jump

  • Mother Nature is really, really angry at us and payback is only barely beginning to start.

    I am not religious or superstitious or whatever, it's just a way of expressing that very soon we're gonna have it very bad. The heatwaves, the storms, the utilities unable to cope, the displaced populations, the overwhelmed over-egotistic political systems - we're in for a ride, and that ride starts yesterday.
