Errrm, 5 of the worlds largest exporters are European

I love photic sneezes (I just learned it had a name). They are like sun induced mini orgasms.

Ages ago I used to use Webmin. I have no clue as how it stacks up to others nowadays.

You can specify the virtualization engine in VirtualBox, including KVM.

A couple of easy virtualization tools that allow you to create VMs in a few clicks are Gnome Boxes and QuickEmu, which leverages Qemu and KVM

Not normal, you are a weirdo.

I use W11 bloat edition, BTW

That was my gateway into automation, but it seems that they’ve essentially abandoned the range.

I thought the G number meant how many Gb’s I could store in the cable

The Intel B850 is getting rave reviews at a decent price point

Because it could be used the other way. I agree that the Hungarian question is shit, but imagine a majority of countries deciding to kick a country out because opposition to some regulation , like fracking or immigration,or whatever, which is objectively good.

Also, what Orban is doing is as a govrnment. The majority could change, and we’d have punished a country because of a single government. It’s a really difficult thing.

Wolf population in Spain is now around 3000, and is considered dangerously low for genetic diversity. What are the Swedes thinking?

I replace ARCH with Windows 11 bloat edition. I use windows 11 BTW

Europe has been docking craft to the ISS for a few years now.

I own an HP Proliant micro server gen 8. Sweet machine. I bought it new, but there are plenty used around, great looking device. A real pro server in a small format. Celeron, but you can find i3, i5, or i7, and can take some specific xeons. 4 real HP drive caddies.an extra sata originally for a CD, that can repurposed for an SSD, and USB3 in case you want to add even more drives. Very low power consumption. I have xpenology installed, because of the polished experience, but you can install any NAS OS you want. Xpenology has a ton of apps you can install, and also does docker.

I have to do that disturbingly often nowadays.

I started out in a big iron shop in the 90s. I was in charge of backups. We had an outage after a power loss, and the generator not kicking in. Our local backup set didn’t restore. The basement set, in a fire/waterproof safe didn’t restore. The off-site set restored.

The hours between the first fail and success were pure terror.

I-m old enough to have seen it in a theater. This movie is one of the seminal works of the cyberpunk genre. The movie is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, one of the best, and truly provocative SF writers.

SF is by definition a genre that doesn’t-t age well, unless the story is solid. Blade runner has aged surprisingly well. The movie probably didn’t-t awe you because so many things have been based on the movie, that you were already familiar with them before seeing the movie. You have been spoilered to exhaustion here.

There is also the question of the cut. The movie has at least 3 editions. The Final Cut is the one to watch.

Also, the “had potential” comment shows you didn’t-t get much of the movie. The movie has many levels, layers, that you seem to have missed.

have switched to HopToDesk, a rust desk fork. It’s supposed to be les fuckeddy

Gifted my kids, both of them already young adults, one of those retro gaming sticks. An absolute bang/for/buck wonder, full of retro emulators and ROMs. Christmas Day, at grandmas was a retro fest, with even grandma playing. Pac man, frogger, space invaders, galaga, donkey Kong, early console games…. Retro gaming has amazing games, where gameplay and concepts had to make do with the limited resources.

My son has a Steam deck, but he had a blast with the rest.

The Wii was a fantastic example of this. Less capable hardware used in very imaginative ways, and had the capacity to bring older people into the games
