Remember before systemd the most popular init system was upstart,

For 5 years; maybe. Before, during, and since, sysV is still the most popular.

And, as dictionaries, politics and Windows will tell you, what is popular is not always best.

I overpaid a credit card for $100 and canceled it because it was extra.

That overpayment stuck. But they’d canceled it so they couldn’t refund it. But I couldn’t use it because it was canceled. It was connected to me as a negative debt but couldn’t be activated, modified, or removed.

Every month, then, I’m reminded of this -$100 bill that, without any action from me, is paid promptly on time.

Fast forward 30 years.

It’s been a great credit bump for me, these 30 years of -$100 owed and paid every month. I’m told it still reflects well on my credit, because it’s SO long-term and steady. They asked whether I wanted it removed, now, because they finally can, and I asked for it to be left on.

Neat.

Systemd: hate it for what it is and how it’s built, and continue hating it for its capitulation to intrusive surveillance.

You can’t tell whether it’s an Ai datacenter or one that merely holds and protects your health data and DMV records. Or a mix.

The criteria needs to not be the PURPOSE of a DC, since that’s impossible to gauge before or after the build, but the build of the DC.

• no water cooling
• ya pay for your power
• no fucking jet engines outside
• noise bylaws strictly enforced

You know, like everyone else.

One of my contracts is with a gov adjacent org. I know they’ve got your personal info - the stuff like your DMV recs - kept very safely in a datacenter somewhere. It’s safe, reliable, and has great data connections.

Tear these down and … what? Back to paper in an office somewhere with no backup?

Block the other crossings and let them decide.

It’s an attention thing; like that kid in home-room, back in school.

My oura g2 is getting really sour batteries now.

But since Oura is fucking dead to me with that subscription shit, I’m going with an UH next. Because while the oura5 looks like a beautiful product, I really wish karmic reckoning on the company.

As per rfc2119 there is a difference between MAY be profitable and MUST be profitable.

And I’d argue it SHOULD NOT be profitable, since that’s a measure of how much it’s over-charging for what is a basic need (even for those who don’t realize it is).

What about putting up one of those curtains of plastic slats like they have in the walk-in coolers of restaurants ? That could help keep the heat in the cab portion while they’re opening the door.

Yes, force the behaviour of closing the door while they’re away from the truck, for energy savings and for security, and reinforce that with some training and reminders, but the added barrier could keep the coolness in the driver area just a bit better.

Isn’t the netsuke the toggle that keeps it from slipping through the obi?

Investigating crime is treason?

Doctorov needs to learn about Harm Reduction. And here I thought I’d only fight with him about dialect.

Nah. Let’s get Yemen on-board. The theme song is already there.

ITT:

• leeberoffice reminds us it came from starOffice, and corrects the “first European office” statement.
• people slag leeberOffice for being imperfect about its existence.

“if you don’t like it then get out” is strange to hear outside of Maga America.

Soory, eh.

So, anyway, nice weather we’re having.

Atomic images are awesome if your SLSA score is just too high.

Did your block list catch the baby with the bathwater?

1. Help the plebes
2. Join the 21st century

I can see why PQ isn’t a fan.

Ai Data Centers’

No. Water-cooled Data Centers did this.

Call out the transgressors for their transgression and stop the dilution and transferrence of the real problem.

Cool your shit with air.
