On this, the last day of support for #windows10, I want to reach out and thank #microsoft for all it has done to increase #linux adoption lately. You truly have managed to rile up your own paying customers against #windows in ways Linux evangelists couldn't dream of. It may not ever be the year […]

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch. A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out […]

About time they saw the error of their ways. Unfortunately it's far too late. I am not throwing away my Synology NAS anytime soon (expensive!) but when replacement time comes, it won't be from them. The trust is gone. In the meantime, online recommendations have all been "well Synology is easy […]

So I upgraded my laptop to Windows 11. It is not very old and it meets all the requirements. I immediately noticed it feels sluggish compared to before. Games run fine. Firefox runs fine. But the shell just feels slow. I turn off some things, reboot, etc. Same thing. My File Explorer has a load […]

This brought back tons of memories! I worked for a dial-up ISP in the late 90s and maintained multiple banks of those US Robotics modems connected to PortMasters and Ciscos. I know we had some customers that used multi-modem setups, but it was pretty rare. Certainly nobody I know that used 12 […]

Gamers Nexus is going to start benchmarking Linux and asked Level1 Tech for some advice. As you could expect "which distro" is a complicated question. I mostly agree with Wendell that Bazzite is a good place to start since it is often recommended for gamers, but I would like to see their tests […]

Stoked to see this journal cover of PNAS with one of my photos: a mating pair of Swamp Bluet (Africallagma glaucum) from Harold Porter Botanical Garden in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, photographed in 2011. #Odonata #odonataoftheworld #damselflies […] [Original post on ecoevo.social]

This reminds me of when Microsoft claimed there was *no way* you could run Windows without Internet Explorer, and someone proved otherwise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuyC0y7Ahfg

Work PC got moved to Windows 11. It's every bit as terrible as I imagined. #windows

Hey y'all, I'm speaking at B-sides Cleveland in a month! Be there or be square! https://bsidescle.com/wp/

This week at work I was reminded to include the company logo in my e-mail signature. I wish we would make the internet more RFC 1855 compliant again: "If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer than 4 lines. Remember that many people pay for connectivity by the minute […]

Satt og mimret om Irma 1000 og Jimmy Henriksen fra gamle dager. Fant et klipp fra der Jimmy forklarer sine husketriks for å huske ukedagene https://oby.no/minneverdig-tips-om-ukedager-korttidsminneforeningen/

Memory use after fresh boot on my work Windows PC: 12 GB. My PC with Fedora: 3.5GB. Most of the 12GB is several different suites of security software. Security by sluggishness?

Looks like 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 are down, at least for me and for isitdownrightnow.com https://issitedownrightnow.com/status/1.1.1.1 #outage #cloudflare #dns

Man, if I thought I would ever *actually use it*, this would be an instant buy. Unfortunately, it would probably just gather dust. Love it for the die-hard C64 fans though. https://www.commodore.net/ #c64 #commodore #vintagecomputing

Jeg sitter på en Amiga 500 med tilbehør som har sittet på loftet siden 1998. Den det ut til å være ok men jeg har ikke prøvd den. Jeg vil gi den vekk eller bli kvitt den uten å kaste den i søpla. Noen forslag til hva jeg kan gjøre med den? #Norsktut #amiga

Reiser hjem fra USA til Norge på besøk. Regner med at jeg får en del hva f... spørsmål mens jeg er der 😅 #Norsktut
