Anybody want a peanut?

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.

But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.

The network gear I manage is only accessible via VPN, or from a trusted internal network…

…and by the gear I manage, I mean my home network (a router and a few managed switches and access points). If a doofus like me can set it up for my home, I’d think that actual companies would be able to figure it out, too.

…which implies the existence of integer women, real women, complex women, imaginary women, rational & irrational women.

Debian (i3 on laptop, headless on homelab).

But apparently my coffee is Arch.

Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great…). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too…and good luck finding many AAA open source games.

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

Whatever you do, do not touch that one BNC cable. Just trust me on this.

Remote backup server would be my suggestion.

Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend’s or family’s place.

I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.

I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.

A legitimate hard fork doesn’t seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know…

Awesome bandwidth to be sure, but I do think there is a difference between data transfer to RAM (such as network traffic) vs. traffic purely from one location to another (station wagon with tapes/747 with SD cards/etc.).

For the latter, actually using the data in any meaningful way is probably limited to read time of the media, which is likely slow.

But yeah, my go-to would be micro SD cards on a plane :)

My headcanon for The Matrix’s “humans are batteries” is that it’s the machines’ perverse interpretation of this — killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives “meaning” in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) “battery” somehow satisfies the rules.

It’s a very big stretch, I’ll admit…

Fun fact, the (rough) conversion efficiency of calories to mechanical joules in the human body (separate from the mechanical to electrical you’re referring to) is about 25% — but this is about the same factor as going from calories to joules! So, for a human to put out 13.5 kJ of energy would require about 13.5 food calories (kilocalories).

I’m guessing it’s because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

Same argument against vegetarianism/veganism — we have teeth “designed” or evolved for eating meat, thus we should eat meat.

…we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!

Just use your $200+ Fluke to check the batteries, problem solved.

The Picosecond Pulse Labs bias tees hold a special place in my heart.

If you have a TV, you likely already have the receiving device. Antenna can cost, or you can play around with wire length and orientation.
