Motion on my RPI. I didn’t want it to save videos or photos, so I turned it off in the config. But it still saved them. So I tried a few other places in the config to turn it off, but nothing worked and I’d run out of space within a day. So I changed the save directory to /dev/null.

Then I tried to upgrade the pi, and the new version of motion has a different config, incompatible with the old one. So I’m running the old one.

Ok, gramps. I blocked TeamViewer on the router to stop scammers.

Two months later, gramps has a small problem with the internet connection. The first thing the helpdesk tells him to do is factory reset the router.

Gramps gets scammed through TeamViewer.

And to all the cyclists who use a bright led lamp on their handlebar, remember to also point them down, not straight ahead. I’ve been blinded as a pedestrian and a driver by cyclists who don’t position their lights correctly.

Hi, I’m a chef. I’m just playing around with raspberry pis and stuff. I just like learning and seeing what I can do.

Or enough radiation to be warm enough.

I was walking through the city, watched as a man in a suit in front of me (I was walking behind him for a couple of blocks) picked up a briefcase beside a newsstand and got in the passenger seat of a waiting black car which drove off.

I’m in a spy movie, I guess.

Can’t say cock in the news.

Sounds like something a Nazi would say… /s

Hold my Reddit account I’m going in!

I saw one on the parcel shelf of a car in the carpark at IKEA once…

Pine was already taken by an email reader. One of the early ascii email readers was called elm, for ELectronic Mail. Pine was made after elm and it stands for Pine Is Not Elm.

Ask your mother.

Just ask for it to make you a song in the “Beans and Dairy” genre

I had an Acer laptop once. I had Ubuntu on it. I had problems with random crashing after a few minutes, I ran memtest, it took a few hours for a full test and came back with a whole slew of faults. I sent it to Acer under warranty and they told me that Linux was the problem and I should leave windows on it.

Think big. This may have had a target. But hitting the target only wasn’t possible so everyone got hit.

It’s possible those responsible only had this weapon that was capable of hitting the target, maybe the plan was to disrupt world flights to make someone late tomorrow, who knows. Maybe poo-tin or Xi-the-Pooh wanted to hit America and its allies?

Yes. You’re right. All OSs have their faults. But this is one of window’s faults.

But this is a Microsoft problem mostly because all the news reports are saying it is.

Anyone in Microsoft sales or marketing is going to have a tough time for a while.

In a way it is a Microsoft problem. Windows can’t handle live updates to the system like Linux can. Security updates mean downtime to be scheduled. So they need a program to do security, so CrowdStrike comes in to do security for these companies since Microsoft can’t protect them. And mistakes happen.

Trees should never be used for “credits”. I see companies planting trees in Australia and selling the credits. Australia where fires rage every summer burning the forests to the ground. It’s a more or less (depending on the point of view) natural cycle and imo any tree planting in Australia is at best carbon neutral.
