I would ordinarily say it’s a toque, not a beanie, but on him, it’s a beanie.

It’s the taste of childhood, really. I still get cravings for the worst fake cheese on the whitest of bleached bread.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 1 week ago:
I also agree, but … it’s an attitude that gets you in trouble fast and it only works once. Throwing hardware at a problem never works for very long, and hardly ever gets you the order of magnitude increases that reevaluated algorithms and data structures will get you. No amount of hardware gets you past an O(n^2) for long.

I think the English word is pretty much ‘halava’. There’s no equivalent word so we just use that.

Yeah, btw what really got me into it was the Scrapyard mod set. Splitsie has a series on YouTube about it, and also some very good tutorials.
- Comment on Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk 3 weeks ago:
The basic idea is that it can stem from the incel world, the attitude that if they can’t have women, they can become them. It can be a way to affirm hypermasculinity, not challenge it.

Just a bit misgendery for my tastes. Also some right wing people have glommed onto the whole femboy thing. There is 100% a femboy-fascist pipeline.

I’m not sure what’s worse, the greybeard stereotype or the socks.
- Comment on Trump tariffs are helping drive U.S. beef prices to new highs 3 weeks ago:
In the plus side, higher beef prices will do more for climate change than any amount of hectoring and moral argument.
Beef should be way more expensive than it has been. It’s a luxury, not a staple.

Totally. We use ours for tv, it handles h264 without issue still.
- Comment on 3D printed Linux Mint emblem to cover up the illuminated Apple logo on my ancient MacBook 3 weeks ago:
That’s pretty great! We have a 2008 macbook that could probably use a similar treatment. Probably still wouldn’t be able to handle h265 video though…

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
It’d be interesting seeing Microsoft in a position where the vendor isn’t automatically making their drivers for them. It’s a massive advantage they have.

Stable. :)
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been using Ganeti for like 15 years now, and I’m not sure what proxmox offers besides a nice GUI. I know how Ganeti works and getting up to speed on a new one doesn’t seem super interesting to me. Is anyone here familiar with both?

Unironically, me too. They’re there now, waiting to be discovered. We can find them now on our terms or be surprised by them later.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 1 month ago:
Your basic rice jazzes up well, too. Scoop of soup stock, scoop of turmeric, scoop of cumin, can of peas, cook it all together in the instant pot or rice cooker. Soy sauce and a raw egg, whip it together.

Calibre can handle a directly plugged in Kindle. I deDRMd them, then was able to just plug in my Kobo and copy all my books to the new device.

Switched to Kobo as part of my general “screw the USA” policy. Threatening Canadian sovereignty will not fly.

- Comment on NASA will say goodbye to the International Space Station in 2030 − and welcome in the age of commercial space stations 1 month ago:
The ISS is rickety, showing its age. It should be retired soon. Decades of structural flexing and delay has taken its toll and it’s going to be cheaper to replace than repair.
Unfortunately they will likely do neither. :/
- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 1 month ago:
Buy quality things that will last a long time.
Paraphrasing Terry Pratchett, the man who buys a good pair of boots will have dry feet for ten years, and the man who buys a pair of cheap shoes every year will spend more and still have wet feet.
