I had to laugh - that lot have absolutely no clue when it comes to security. Even in a VM I'm not sure I'd trust running Clawdbot (or whatever it's named this week).

On a Boeing, they're zip ties holding them together

I'd assume that most people are familiar with the term Trekkie, but would have to use context to figure out trekker ("you like long walls?")

Whatever the intention, coining/identifying as a separate term suggests someone taking it quite seriously. I just consider them synonyms.

Found them! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn't name (or knew I'd got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn't Commodore 64).

These are really consistent, do you print them yourself?

It's power + volume down for me, but a good top, thanks. Looks like it works even when the phone is (biometric) locked.

I rewatched all of Babylon 5 recently, and I was surprised how good season 4 and 5 were - in my head, after they'd rushed the shadow war to an early end (when they thought they were cancelled) the rest was padding, but not so.

That's not to say there aren't some ridiculous stories and the

spoilertelepath war
should have been better but it's definitely worth a watch.

Only 116 days until Towel Day

[he wrote] a sequel to 1984.

I didn't know this bit of his story. Anyone read it? I'm assuming it's not very good/coherent but perhaps he was as gifted a writer as he was a coder.

Element Effects

Zodiac sign elements create elemental affinities and oppositions:

Boosted Combinations (tasks thrive under compatible elements):

  • 🔥 Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) × CPU tasks: 1.5x boost
  • 🌬️ Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) × Network tasks: 1.5x boost
  • 🌍 Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) × System tasks: 1.4x boost
  • 💧 Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) × Memory tasks: 1.3x boost

Hang on - Aquarius, the water-bearer, is an air element? I'm beginning to think this astrology stuff doesn't make much sense.

I like that water is responsible for memory, like how homeopathic medicine works.

You made an account on a UK instance just to post this? The first rule of this community is no politics. Anyway, you don't need to convince to average Brit of this stuff, so it's doubly in the wrong place.

Russia was pissed about NATO

OP uses the US version of pissed off, is this a Yank cosplaying as a Brit?

I ask Google Bard "What's the difference between Funtoo and Gentoo?"

Bard replies: Both Funtoo and Gentoo are Arch Linux-based distributions known for their source-based installation and high degree of customization. While they share a lot of similarities, there are some key differences to consider:

I checked, and both Gentoo and Arch initially released in March 2002, although Arch is older by 20 days.

I've made a Last.fm API key but at the point of adding it to Navidrome I wondered why I was bothering; is this option only there because of backwards compatibility or is there a tangible benefit?
