Almost same. I've had many shitty years and days, but around this time last year I said something along these lines, and it holds true now as well: This year has been great. And next year is on track to be fuckin awesome.

Red Star OS is his distro of choice.

The controller responsibility was the ma8n reason for getting three. Plus, they each have a design that I'm sure each kid will like.

Title, basically. Three Boys, aged 9, 10, and 13, are getting a PS5 for Christmas, and I want to expand their horizon beyond roblox and minecraft.

They're gett8ng one controller each, so bonus points for something they can play together.

PS: I'm not too strict about age restrictions. They know we'll what they are and aren't allowed to say and do, so I'm not very concerned about VoIlEnT videO gAmEs to a reasonable extent.

They do enjoy builders and open world stuff, by the way.

I never saw a reason to give my not-do-hard-earned money to discord, but I have done so elsewhere online, and I will continue to do so.

My approach is always the same: I use this one card I have that is by default blocking online purchases. But I can through my bank app allow online purchases for the next hour. Works great for those "free" trials that require your card details, hoping you'll forget to subscribe.

Primarily anuses (anii?), some of which still have feces on them.

Nice. Seem like there are a few pi images tailored around kodi.

Not sure if my TV can handle 4k, but I might as well go for "yes" in the name of future proofing my setup.

For the past 25 years of sailing the high seas I've always used my PC for watching whatever. But as this is not always practical, I am looking to connect a raspberry Pi to my TV to have a setup with smaller fingerprint and larger screen.

I briefly tried one a couple of eons ago (2010ish?), but sadly I don't remember the name.

Requirements:

  • Must be able to run from a raspberry pi
  • Must be able to stream media over my network (protocols aren't that important as I can probably spin up whatever is needed. Preferably I would just have it index a couple of NFS mounts and local drives)

Bonus question: Which Pi model would you recommend running this? I have a bunch of Zero W, and while everything "works" on them, it simply wasn't powerful enough to decode video at a watchable rate.

No. But I once mumbled "What, they left it open?"

Also, I lol'd a bit when I ran John on a password file I lifted from a school server. Turned out this girl I know had her password set to "Urine". And, no, I neither cared nor used it. I just found that nugget a bit funny.

I do, however, frequently declare "I'm in" when logging in to work while I have someone on the phone - The remote systems are on extremely lagging and unreliable VSAT, so even though I'm supposed to remote in relatively often, it's not a given that a simple SSH connection will work.

We had one when I grew up. Now that I'm living elsewhere with my own family we don't; we have two.

Is Charisma an uploadable skill? If so, I'd love to upload the entire library to displace my Charisn'tma.

Well, it was a hobby project, so there weren't really any naysayers. Apart from Linus himself.

To quote an adorable snipped from the original release announcement: "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu" as well as "It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-("

What does it take in terms of assets, abilities, and/or income for you to consider them wealthy?

Pico Turquino looks like a perfect ambush position.

I'm currently looking for a replacement to castbox. Castbox us OK, but I want to learn what else good is out there. Bonus points for one that has movement-sensitive sleep timer the way Smart AudioBook Player has.

UPDATE: Testing out Antennapod. Looks nice, and seems to do what I want it to do. I need to experiment with the auto-download a bit and see if it behaves the way I want it to. If it does, we have a winner.

I set up a machine with Debian 12 earlier. The partition schema is fairly standard, except I'm using mdraid for redundancy. I made an image of the two drives, so that I can easily replicate this setup for other machines (I have a bunch of machines that I need to set up in the exact same way.

However, I realized after I finished setting up everything that I chose the wrong pair of disks - instead of the 2.5" SSD pair, I installed it on the NVMe pair which are supposed to be used for something else. And the SSD pair is smaller than the NVMe pair.

Is it possible to resize the images so that they'll fit onto the correct disks, or do I have to start from scratch?

OK, so I finished this a while back, and despite it appealing to a lot of my interests, I honestly found it pretty meh.

I really enjoyed the realistic military/tactical aspect of it all, as that part is right up my alley, but... I did not care about the characters, the plot seemed hollow, and it seems like some things that could have been explored further were simply ignored.

For example, in the beginning these guys blow up a refinery. There are vague descriptions as to why, but after this it is practically not mentioned again. Whatever movement they were part of apparently disappears, and there are no repercussions for their home oblast.

The only thing this book has going for it, in my opinion, is that military nerds like me enjoy the detailed writing about the different types of hardware involved in the book.

So, since I am by no means a literary connoseur, I'm curious about what others think of this one.
