Age has nothing to do with it.

I guy I know in his 60s (with a beard and big bear belly) who was single for a long time. Then he wrote a kind and very honest profile on a few dating sites about who he is (and isn’t) and what he’s looking for. The response was huge and he met a lot of people. Now 4 years later he’s in a committed long term relationship.

You seem like the type that really likes stereotypes instead of depth of understanding and nuance.

not having to trust the server itself for data confidentiality

One of the main reasons to self-host is that you can trust the server, since its yours and you are the admin.

It’s always funny to me to read a history of something I lived through written by someone who didn’t. I don’t think anyone who was in the industry at the time would say the Zip drive dominated the 1990s.

To set the scene, most people in the 90s didn’t own a computer at all and the majority of people who did own a computer never owned a zip drive. While Zip was the most successful of the Superfloppies, it was never ubiquitous. By the sales numbers, 10-15% of computer owners bought zip drives. Compare to a floppy or CDROM which is close to 100%.

The reason it vanished quickly was simple: Zip was never that good and CDRW was much better. As soon as the prices dropped for CDRW, Zip was a goner.

The bot is back

I recently installed qemu and used it to install ms dos in a vm so I could play a few old games during a train ride. I had to use an android vnc client to connect to the vm and a bt travel keyboard to control it. The dos install took a while but once I got it set, it ran well enough to play old dos games.

There are probably better ways to play old dos games on an android phone but I had fun setting it up.

I use a self hosted Wazuh server. There is a lot to it but its very comprehensive.

Some would say that a generated random series of sounds is a form of avant-garde music. So it could be immediate.

In the context of No Stupid Questions, I understand a genuine question to be one where the asker seeks knowledge and/or understanding, for example: Is it safe to eat cheese that’s been in my freezer for 3 years?

Maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure its not for people looking for debates or arguments.

Unless I’m missunderstanding, thats what a copyright notice is for.

Great article but this shouldn’t be called “Tricks” it should be called Shell Basics. I’m old enough to remember taking an Intro To Unix course and there was an entire day on the shell where these types of commands were presented as essential learning.

If you have skills that are in demand in a particular country then there will be a path to residency and possibly citizenship. Many trades are in demand in many places. In some places the demand is so high you can get by speaking English. There may even be incentives offered to people with qualifying skills to move there, like low or no income tax.

Also people who get hair cuts and/or shave their heads?

Ky Dickens is a lying exploiter of vulnerable people.

Is a seamripper really that much better than undoing the seams with nail scissors?

Yes! Its designed for the job and you can do it very quickly once you’ve used it a few times.
