SSDs are getting reasonable, you might want to look into it again if that’s your use case.

Oh yeah, I run spinning rust in my nas. All data storage for me is on HDDs, only OS date is on the SSD. That’s for the nas and my computer.

This is how I know I’m getting old, my first thought was “spinning rust for always on long term storage” and then I remembered it’s 2025 and SSD’s are about equal now.

Get off my lawn, your interrupting Matlock!

Don’t count out Texas.

The right watched snow piercer and needed therapy after see all the horrible things that the back of the train did to their betters.

I’m going on what I heard from Security Now but it is my understanding that apple was the only one pushing for this and the others just voted to approve even though apple was never able to present a convincing argument for why it needed to be shortened.

True, but the podcasters I heard about this from were posting at least once a week with one three times a week. They were all pissed and talked about how it would potentially hurt their subscribership. And most left because of the switch.

Having only been a patron and not a creator I have no way to back up any of this other than relay the things I heard from their rants… which there were quite a few of after the initial announcement.

Yep crApple is the one pushing for the shorter SSL certificate length too. Their just adding headaches to everyone’s lives for no good reason.

The change from pay per episode to per month was a direct result of crApple’s 30% tax. This hurt Patreon directly because a bunch of creators were pissed about the change and blamed Patreon for not fighting back, so they left. So Patreon has lost revenue over this, how much I have no idea but I know several of the podcasts I listen to have stopped asking you to pay via Patreon and are now asking you to donate via Substack or their private donation page.

That’s great, I hate it.

I wonder if glam Linux will run on Debian.

My employer uses Citrix to run our proprietary apps. Every “upgrade” they issued just made it worse to the point that it was crashing multiple times and day. Since we’re a 24/7 operation we had to have IT on standby all the time to reboot the servers every time they crashed. Citrix support said there was nothing in the logs other than the crashes so it must be our brand new hardware.

It got so bad that corporate paid the IT team extra to build a web based version as a backup. It’s slower than Citrix but at least when Citrix crashes we have a fallback that works.

Thankfully corporate has given the green light for a custom built system, so now we’re all just waiting for the corporate machine to go through the bidding process so we can start working with whoever they pick.

My employer gives everyone in management a cell phone. At least once a quarter someone from management has to travel across the border to do site visits and the like. Most people will only carry the work phone when traveling because of CBP and TSA inspections.

This is why I switched to sceptre, they’re good quality, low cost, dumb displays.

So either the EU steps up and funds them until the administration tariffs the EU until they stop.

Or we rely on the big tech companies to step up and fund them and risk pissing off the administration.

Honestly the only way I see them coming back is either up root their lives and move to the EU with a funding guarantee, or the EU just sets up their own program.

I imagine it will cause at least a one day delay in SpinRite.

I listen to SN while at work. I may take next Tuesday night off and grab a big bag of popcorn.

Yep. Well unless you want to try some new thing that’s not in the repo, then it’s sudo apt-get for the win.

I tried a variety of distros when I made the switch 9 or 10 years ago, Mint is by far my favorite. I’ve been running it continuously for at least the last 8 years.

Battle plans you use Signal, war plans your going to want Threema, Session, or SimpleX.
