Please don’t call it slop, these are Microsoft cups or something

Russia is in a tough spot here. On the one hand, they’d love to play the “see, everyone does it, so our little invasion is perfectly fine”, but Maduro was a political ally, so they can’t really do that. On the other hand, they look like the buffoons they are now because the US simply did to their ally what they couldn’t do to a country without major alliances; that is quickly invade and get rid of the head of state.

Of course, they will say something like “Ukraine isn’t actually a sovereign state but rather a Russian oblast, unlike Venezuela which is totally more legitimate, so what you did is totally different from what we’re doing”. Some doublethink will do, no need to actually state anything rooted in reality.

The argument shouldnt be men vs. women, but people vs. those who exploit us, or people vs. the problem

This is what I tried to hint at.

On the other hand, men on average live shorter, and we just go “well it’s just risky behavior and physical labor I guess 🤷‍♂️” and they’re aren’t any task forces for that either, truth is we as a society don’t care enough about these issues regardless of sex

pacman is very fast and handy. The (in)famous pacman -Syu had you system completely up to date in record time.

Sometimes I miss its speed and simplicity

I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…

Then why do they vary by hotel?

This is just silly. I recently saw Las Vegas hotels doing something similar though to a much lesser extent where it’s called “resort fees”. Should be illegal but it doesn’t affect me since I’m not traveling to the US

I was talking about playbooks mostly, not individual tasks.

E.g. if you have a playbook where in one location you make sure a package is installed and in another to add a line to its config files, you need to ensure installation is performed first.

Another generic example is conflicting definitions, e.g. you define a package as present and somewhere else you define that one of its dependencies should be absent. Depending on the order, you either get an error or it works fine (but ignores the package absent directive). Or is my understanding wrong here?

Ansible, the declarative configuration manager

Ansible declarative? That takes a lot of effort I think.

Motherboards have risen in price over the years as well, you could have a very decent board at 150€ five years ago but today it feels like you need to pay at least 200 to get anything mid tier. I remember when I checked the price of my board that I bought early 2020 around 2023 or so, the price had gone up. But yeah, if you can’t put memory in your already expensive board, maybe you don’t need to buy a board on the first place.

I’m in the lucky position that my machine is still adequate (3900X / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD) with only the GPU being weak (5500XT 8GB), but it doesn’t matter for the games I play. So I can sit out another two or three years.

We’ll see how it turns out - I don’t expect the current generative AI investors to make an RoI anytime soon. If at all.

It was cable select, my bad but I’m leaving it as is

I don’t remember it ever working reliable, regardless of cable

Right, it was cable select… Yeah SATA was a blessing. IDE / PATA really sucked

I had one of these used (think the board had 5 dip switches) but never really used it, am under 40

MASTER SLAVE AUTO (auto never works)

But yeah fuck flat IDE cables. I don’t miss old computers a single bit

Honey bees aren’t at risk of extinction

Well, at least for nginx, you can specify the root (or alias if required) directive; to me, it makes very little sense to rely on defaults, you need to specify your servers / virtual hosts anyways, might as well make the configuration more self-documenting…

There’s also https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_file_system_hierarchy/ nowadays, which aims to build on the FHS.

Well, /var/www is in fact not part of the FHS, not even optional… it doesn’t exist on my machines either. I think the better choice would be /srv/www which is an example given at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html
