The RAT7 I had had a little flat bit to rest your pinky on and it was a game changer. So mad no other mouse manufacturer seems to have tried that since

Vulcan Love Slave is the Trek equivalent of Twilight.

I will not be taking questions.

I always assumed it was a kind of oxymoron title. This Vulcan, unlike the others, is controlled by emotions - love in particular. Think of a woman who’s 3 times stronger than you and also obsessed with you, despite her entire upbringing and society telling her that it’s illogical.

Now that’s a holosuite program I would run.

I use Nextcloud for contacts, calendars, files, bookmarks, passwords, to do lists, Kanban boards, and recipies. You absolutely can turn nextcloud into a 365 competitor if that’s your jam

You might want to set up dynamic DNS for your domain. If you’re hosting from a residential internet connection then your ISP will change your address eventually. Ddclient can be used to report your current IP to your Registrar regularly, so if it changes the domain moves along with it.

If we’re gonna give everybody from Classic Who bit parts in new Who, the show needs to do a better job of explaining who the hell these people are besides ‘oh the Doctor is excited so they’re friendly’

Smart Pipe.

Build is solid, but here’s some suggestions.

1. Another 8TB HDD. the reason being you can merge the 4 drives of the same size into a RAID5 array for data redundancy.
2. An SSD to install the OS on.
3. (Optional) More RAM check the mobo to see the max size and speed it can handle, and then fill every slot with that.

I tried Joplin for a while but dropped it, too simple. Also tried Trilum, which I liked more but it’s still a very young project.

Eventually, my Obsidian vault will go there, but not just yet.

Rather than give you specific recommendations, here’s some guidance for parts

Mobo: The more slots you have for RAM and storage, the better.

CPU: literally anything. More cores and faster cores are ideal, but CPU requirements for these things are generally lower than a desktop.

RAM: Buy 1 stick of the fastest and highest capacity RAM your motherboard can handle. When you’re ready or you start to see slowdown, buy another of the same stick. You can get far on 16-32GB, you won’t need much more until later.

Storage: an SSD for the OS and one or more HDDs for storage.

PSU: generally anything in the 500-700 range will be good. You’ll want more if you plan to put a GPU in, though.

It got a big boost when Mozilla updated their ToS a couple months ago to say they could use your browser data to train their AI.

Well, it’s not that they said they would, it’s that they updated their terms so that they could if they wanted to. For some (myself included) that was enough.

Just like Project 2025 ‘Wasn’t the plan’ until it was the plan.

The slippery slope that projects taking this approach fall into boils down to ‘let’s put all our new features behind a business version and never add them to the community version until they become 2 totally different code bases’

They’ll make whatever sells subscriptions at this point.

Don’t buy, only subscribe. From media to software and now to hardware and OS. No more license keys you can reuse, no more owning what you pay for, just live services and ever-rising subscription costs that can change at any time for any reason and neuters your ability to take legal action against them while they do it.

Silence critics, control available options, capture profit - that’s the name of the game. They’ll sell this to businesses as ‘take your PC anywhere’ like you couldn’t already do that and then they have a hunk of plastic and silicon they need to pay out the nose for until they finally give it up. And they’ll have to give it up because it literally can’t run anything else on the available hardware. I’m sure folks will hack it apart but like, what’s the point?

Oh dear, you…might need to beg your gods forgiveness.

I’ve heard of other villages merging this tin with their copper to create sturdy tools and weapons, even ones capable of breaking bronze and wooden implements like shields. A marauder we captured last year called it “eyerown”, but I didn’t understand his language so please confirm with your elders.

Our village has such a traveling merchant we’ve traded with in the past who was able to get us a small amount of tin. We’ve only used it to produce elaborate bowls and chalices for our leader, at his request. He likes the way they shine in the sunlight.
