On my living room setup hooked up to a projector:

mint xfce
sff tower
dual core
only 3GB ddr2. (One slot fried) 1080p via display port to HDMI 1tb HDD Use 2 VPN. An sshd server Myriad physical issues. Old as fuck BIOS.

(Was released in 2009 or 2011?)

Memory is a bit of a pain sometimes. Mostly Firefox needs to be closed and reopened after system sleep.

I can watch 4 football games in HD with no real issue.

It is tweaked to high heaven in kernal and configs.

As long as it can work I will make it work.

Essential.

I don’t even know how fast I can type on a phone.

Even with word completion I find myself hesitating between the choice of word or typing it out.

I know it’s not near as fast as on a physical keyboard where is used to be around 90-120 wpm if I remember correctly. (Been a while since I had to do that at an employment agency)

Anyway, it’d be fun to see a thumbs only tiktok/Snapchat typer vs a mechanical typewriter type off.

And, tbf, most people are far from tech savvy.

Most are consumers. Some are really good consumers. Some are power users. Some know how to do things.

Very few actually understand it.

But, there was a time where there was indeed a necessity if you used the tech, you had to understand it.

They use apps.

On phones.

They aren’t tech savvy.

One sucks, the other blows.

Manpages.org

It sounds like it should be a hookup app, but it actually is the online Linux man pages.

Or, for a less dubious sounding site, man7.org

Ddg calls them bangs. They have a number of functions using ! to search using other engines.

!s - start page !b - bing !w - wikipedia

Etc.

Think Different™ (But in the exact same way)

I get them. I wish them all a slow and painfully tortured death.

Until then, I do a whois on the sites and nmap their servers.

They tend to have a lot of open, unsecured ports.

…

The differences in efficiency result in very different things.

ICE - heat, smoke, carbon, pollution

Solar -

When i saw this ad a few days ago, my immediate, audible, response was " I guess we don’t need humans anymore. "

I think AI has already taken over and it’s putting out the ads.

They said ‘his narcissism’ They made no diagnostic qualification.

Ie. Displaying narcissism and being a narcissist and having a narcissistic personality disorder are all different things with different definitions which can be applied in different ways.

The option -k for the command man allows you to search the manual pages for specific terms.

Similar to the command apropos

Kinda like this

Honestly, I thought I knew lots.

Then, one day, I decided to read man intro

Then I knew I knew I didn’t know much.

I still don’t.

But I now have a much better grasp of what/how.

I man -k a lot.

Brave is also, you know, run by probably one of the worlds most evil people.

Peter Thiel.

The guy who is part of a group of people (including JD Vance) who wants to hook you up (using bff elon’s neuralink) and use your body as a biofuel source instead of just killing you. As a “more humane alternative to genocide”

PS. This isn’t a joke.

man 3 history

Also, your .bashrc file in your $HOME Dir contains env variables you can set to modify the behaviors of the history function.

On a related tangent:

I overpaid one of my credit cards by one cent.

My balance showed -$0.01

I left it that way for maybe a couple months.

They sent me a cheque for a penny and insisted I cash it immediately.

(If we want to destroy the banks, just leave a negative balance on your credit - they’ll bankrupt themselves in printing and mailing costs… Muwahaha)
