DemenTIA, from CompTIA. Some of those exam questions really make you wonder. . .

…and I will NOT stand for it!. . . Won’t stand for much, lately. It hurts.

I’m a Paramedic.

Hey just wanted to say, God bless you, and I’m really thankful that people like you do what you do. I had a few friends back in the day in this field and…I don’t know how they did it, the things I’d hear.

I know it’s insanely difficult and often way too thankless, and people just don’t get it.…So I hope you stay safe out there and don’t forget to take care of yourself. ❤️

What is this, 2002 again?

Headlines:

“Hey we attacked the Middle East again TOTALLY FOR MORAL REASONS against the dictator our intelligence agencies propped up in like the 80’s!”

“Pain at the pump. More at 11.”

Imagine if I could afford an EV for the 45 minute-by-freeway commute to my job that strangely doesn’t suck.

…An EV that’s not a swastikar… they’re freaking everywhere out here. Disposable appliances on wheels.

… I’m not saying anything in particular here except that we’re just kinda backed into a corner AGAIN without a viable alternative.

Lots of people can make prices go up.

Let’s find some that can do that for wages and we’ll have a real wizard on our hands!!

I have been saying, where the heck are those?! First he comes for your groceries, then the gas.

YES!!! I’m SO happy for you!!! That’s awesome!

Can’t believe people don’t link sources anymore. Anyway yeah it just happened today.

SO important. They’re always under some kind of attack, and they’re pretty much the most accessible way we have to access a web that keeps disappearing and getting replaced.

What a terrible day to be literate.

That sounds AWESOME. I was just thinking of those little replacement motion sensor switches you sometimes see in public buildings but this sounds way cooler.

…Also sounds perfect for my other wishlist project: To make a vent system like this for the litter box to siphon all that inevitable dust and stank. X_X A sensor relay like that sounds PERFECT.

Not to be a mega newb but, know where I might start to look for something like this? 😅

Found the article if you’re interested! :D

I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc.

“You’re cool, you’re cool, screw you tho , you’re cool…” XD

Have I been on 10 years? I dunno, but I like to think I’m pretty experienced for an amateur.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed! It rolls! It games! It works with newer hardware and gets along sorta reasonably with Nvidia!

Best part? If any of that ISN’T true (rarely after an update), it seamlessly integrates BTRFS snapshots with the boot menu, to just roll back and wait like a week til the wonderful souls working on it, fix stuff.

The community is also very supportive.

LOL. Meanwhile I’m scheming to replace the switch in their bathroom with a motion sensor, because my housemates will just routinely stink up the entire hallway and shuffle back to bed. Like the switch is RIGHT THERE?! C’MON‽

Pros: I heard on the Hackaday podcast where these discarded digital price things were (somewhat simply?) hacked to make fun hacker convention badges. So that’s neat. :D

I imagine people trying to run aged applications through WINE?
