A password has nothing to do with validating your identity, it's merely about authentication.
Authentication (n):
Computing
the process or action of verifying the identity of a user or process.
I think more to the point is that there's already a word with this meaning.

We got AoE 1 on the computer as a demo when I was a kid. Think the CD came in a cereal box or something. Played through the same beginner campaign a bunch of times. Was fun.
AoE2 changed the game though. Absolutely amazing. The controls felt so much more fluid and the campaigns were so much fun to play though and see the story. We managed to network all the family computers and would have big family multiplayer battles against the computer (dad carried us kids though).
My brother loved Mythology and while it looked pretty I never really got into it. Something about it felt slower paced and kinda hand-holdy.
AoE3 was just weird. You had a home base that persisted through games, how is that fair? And playing cards were involved somehow? The ragdoll physics was cool though.
AoE4 is okay I guess. I participated in the beta program because I was so excited for them to produce something that might surpass AoE2 but... Naah. It just doesn't have the right feel to it. Very pretty though. They keep coming out with new content but until it feels right (something about the way the window scrolls and zooms) I just cant enjoy it.
I found that book tawdry, and I completely agree that there was not sufficient killing of mockingbirds!
They're not concerned with product, they're concerned with profit. They're strategically cutting away bits and pieces that don't make money. Incidentally, these are all the fun and exciting bits, leaving behind the blandness.

Hey mate what's FHS in this context?

I tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday.
The keyboard wasn't recognised. The fucking keyboard.
Apparently it's fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they're all using the earlier LTS
The page on AMD's website says 65W TDP so much the same as any other desktop CPU. Might be a bit much for HTPC depending on cooling? I dunno
I'm interested in this for my TrueNAS server to offload Plex transcoding. I'm about due for an upgrade, the current hardware is about 10 years old.

I bought a modern MSI gaming laptop with awesome on-paper specs and they did something fucky such that the keyboard doesn't work until about kernel v6.7. The keyboard. Wtf.
