Yes, the quality and length of the score list the body is able to keep track of improves exponentially after 40. Moreso after 50.

I’m back checking BlueSky again.

But yeah this Azure outage completely hosed my company last week. Not fun times. People seem to forget that if DNS goes down, it’s like all the asphalt on the freeway spontaneously liquifies. Nobody’s going anywhere.

The body begins more copiously keeping score the older you get. My scorecard is getting annoying long at this point.

I see you speaking Swedish so seldomly, and your English is so good, that I was genuinely surprised to see you writing in your native tongue.

That’s it, no further thoughts on the matter. The only phrases I know in Swedish are both contextually inappropriate, so I won’t try to impress you.

I was gonna say, yeah the Gen Xers would love you for it. Anyone younger probably wouldn’t get it lol. Either way, the answer is always “do the cover”, regardless of source material. Deltarune is calling.

The clarinet section would like to have a word with you.

The Billy Joel tune? If so, there’s always room for Billy Joel covers. If not, there’s also always room for other Big Shot covers. The point is just make the cover.

Where’s the “rolling eyes” react? 🙄🙄🙄

Or at least the fall of your collar bone. Or maybe an ulna. Or rib.

Good luck!

Pay to play is $599 assuming you’ve got a mouse/keyboard, and monitor. Not horrible.

It’s Linux. Issues cropping up every so often is like any normal Tuesday. I think the difference between Linux nerds and normal users is we actually LIKE fixing stuff with CLI. What’s wrong with us?

Anyone installing any half-baked Linux build on partially-supported hardware isn’t doing it for daily driver status. It’s purely for geek cred and tinkerability. :P

Lol used M1 minis on eBay are going for $350-450-ish and are stuck with 8gb of motherboard-soldered ram. M2’s vary between $500-800-ish. Sucks when the M4 16/256 is only $599 :P

The M4 minis are only $599 new. I’m half tempted to buy the entry level model and just toss Asahi on it. But that’s such a nice processor I feel like most of what it’s capable of would be wasted. Maybe I’ll seek out a used mini…

Asahi Linux Porting Linux to Apple Silicon

Have any of my Mac-using friends been brave enough to pull the trigger on Asahi yet? I’m super curious how close it is to daily driver status.

I also have Mint and Ubuntu on a 2016 MacBook Pro and they’re both flawless. Could easily be my daily driver…but my M-series MBP is just too nice to let it gather dust. :P

Heck, if you just want Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office, FreeTube, and a smattering of other basic stuff, Mint is pretty much there already as long as you’re driving on stable hardware that isn’t 15 years old. Note: I have an old MacBook Air that IS 15 years old, and Mint freezes on it a lot.

The number of DNS requests our various devices send/receive over a 24-hour period is bananas. We don’t see any of this with our eyes, but your devices are sending *enormous* amounts of info about you. This is what my network saw over the last 24 hours. Zoinks!

This. I drive Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian flavors of Linux on various machines. I’m a dyed in the wool tech geek who knows where to look when errors happen…which they do a lot in Linux. It’s great that it’s not Microsoft, but I wouldn’t even think about using Linux as an audio machine today. Not yet.

For those who used to use Digg before Reddit took over, it’s coming back with some new tricks. Woot!

Holy shit. What on EARTH??!?

The data is irrefutable.

Do this.

Tinnitus has been my constant companion since 2009. A C# in my left ear and a B natural in my right. I’m in perpetual major second hell. But you get used to it and just listen around it. It’s generally never problematic once you get past the horrifying “new” stage. Mine isn’t overly loud.

That star on the “i”. Well played, China.

Chilling in the pit tonight. The orchestra pit. Not to be confused with the pit of hell we all find ourselves in at this moment.
