Before I heard this yesterday, the same day I was thinking I would like to make my own operating system that was kernel-agnostic, (Free/Open/etc.)BSD and Linux (and maybe Hurd) as supported kernels, combined Gentoo and Guix's features, removed Python has a hard dependency (which includes glibc, for example, as it needs Python to compile), and prioritized being built with only fast languages, probably with a focus on Zig, Rust, C, and Racket/Chez Scheme, enabling a very minimal distro. It would eventually allow packages like Python to be supported, but the idea was to make a distro that could be stripped down further than even Gentoo and have a package manager built in a fast language. I would probably need to support musl (which on Gentoo has a crypt use flag for libxcrypt, which depends on Python, though I believe it's for running tests), µClibc, Cosmopolitan Libc, or work on my own fork of some libc instead of glibc.

With this news, this hobby project that I hoped to make a living from donations seems important now in regards to supporting BSD.

TASTE THE SUN

Unfortunately, I am experiencing the opposite effect. I am an IT contractor tasked with writing scripts, and I keep applying for dev and IT jobs with a 2 year degree with no success for the past few years while I see old dinosaur fucks at my job not even knowing what functions are. They use ChatGPT to write scripts for them without any modifications to work with our specific clusterfuck of an environment that they created, and the scripts are broken and run in production because we don't even have a testing environment. Meanwhile I have to clean their mess and get paid much less than them, let alone not have any PTO or benefits. It's absolutely maddening to be moderately skilled in programming and witnessing some of the dumbest people on the planet get CS jobs through nepotism or impressing HR, moreso the former. It seems like my workplace will only hire someone if and only if they are incredibly incompetent.

And now the team of fucking morons are taking care of packaging, so the one thing in my job that gave me control to fix things and helped with my sanity is being stripped away from me, which means I get to image laptops unsuccessfully because their scripts will not work. I might as well bring a personal laptop to work and practice programming since I am going to be sitting around waiting shit to get fixed for weeks at a time. Can't wait to get the fuck out of the IT field and pursue electrical engineering someday. I'm not wasting 10-20 years of my life just to get a single promotion in a field dominated by cop-worshipping, white supremacist libertarians.

Wish I could use a real programming language in a sane environment where I am hired to actually be a developer and not an IT person with 3 odd jobs that don't help me build any transferrable experience and get paid for less than one for once.

Honestly, how is it possible to unionize white-ass techbros and old techfucks when they don't hold themselves accountable, work against each other, refuse to keep up to date in their field or learning anything new, and scream fire for non-issues so that other teams have to struggle, let alone most of techbros being against unions or anything remotely left of Hitler?

This trailer shows how laughably out of touch the rich boomer fucks are.

SotV is probably my personal favorite, tied with the Risk of Rain Returns soundtrack. I would consider SotS and the RoR2 base soundtrack my next favorite.

I did not see that. That's pretty gross. I'm going to unsubscribe.

I remember being poor and being happy with Minecraft Classic provided on the web on Mojang's website.

I didn't have time last year to move to another email service, so unfortunately I needed to renew my Proton Mail subscription. I plan to move to Forward Email. I am going to get the team plan so I can create email accounts for my family. I also plan to use IVPN.

Edit: Just learned IVPN disabled port forwarding. Damn, that was the reason I was going to use them. I may need a IVPN or MulladVPN account and a separate VPN for port forwarding for torrents. Perhaps AirVPN.

Edit 2: Wait, what do you mean you can't self-host your own VPN? I am going to use Wireguard and a VPS service to run a dedicated server from home available to the Internet and use the VPS service to hide my IP. It's often cheaper to run your own VPN (with some limitations and tradeoffs), plus certain ISPs allow Tor exit relays. There's also alternatives to Tor, such as I2P, which is good for torrents.

PS9 will be ready in 2078.

I watercool my PC because it's a ThreadRipper with a couple of AMD Radeon 5700 XTs, and the latter is known to have overheating issues, so I opted for watercooling. Watercooling can be bourgeois decadence, but it can also be practical and necessary.

Nevertheless, I didn't have great airflow in the case, so all of the heat that remained stagnant inside a room without air conditioning (which I had bought an air conditioner for but it took me 3 months to get the equipment and resources necessary to screw a piece of wood to the window so the air conditioner wasn't slanted towards the apartment) during the heat waves last year killed one of my SSDs that was part of a contiguous LVM partition among 3 SSDs (I wish I learned about RAIDs earlier). I have been without a desktop for nearly a year now and have been in a slow process of building a couple of new machines.

I managed to successfully watercool my pc safely and follow recommended procedures to make sure my pc didn't leak while running. I had to replace a water block that was leaking during my initial setup of the pc. I had towels and a couple of extra hands to help. You need to run the machine for a day with towels placed around the case before running the computer (this can be done by inserting a bridging plug to only run the watercooling system) to ensure no leaks are occurring. As long as you do diligent research and you are careful, it's usually safe to watercool. The worse that happened to me is that I screwed in a fitting on a $700 distribution plate reservoir + pump system too tightly, and it created some cracks around the hole, but it hasn't became much worse.

I'm really concerned about the other content on the Internet Archive, including old games, movies, music, software, and the Wayback Machine. The precedent this lawsuit sets could be very damaging to digital media preservation everywhere.
