I love my library as well! Libraries are one of the last public places that you can be in and simply be in without having to buy something. For me, the library is a place of knowledge, learning, and refuge. 📗
This is good to see, assuming that is, it will be used for good and honest purposes. I have little trust or faith in any government these days.
This seems like a wise move for the time being. I am an Alma fan and supporter so I get that the foundation is trying to do everything it can to stay relevant.
Instead of pfSense, I would really recommend OPNsense, originally a fork but now standing on its own. I like the fact that OPNsense tracks closer to the current FreeBSD release than pfSense.
I'd pay off all of my family's debt and secure them financially for life. Then I'd start a truly universal housing project in my city and state.
From a technology stand point this is intriguing. But that much said, I am anti-capitalist. The one downside to HF radio is that the available bandwidth is tiny. You'd have to create a compression algorith capable of compressing enough data to complete a trade. Also HF is very susceptible to changing atmospheric conditions. I am a licensed ham radio operator.
I use Arch Linux. I love it. 😸
Vaccinations!
When I have to explain how email works, I walk them through the process of drafting a letter, placing a stamp on it, dropping, it in a mailbox, etc. The stamp and the address contain the "routing information if you will." I call the SMTP server, the postal service. I refer to the IMAP server as like the mailbox.
I just gave it a cursory read and it seems like there is no support for Linux and I cannot see anything indicating that it would be free and open source. So I guess my interest is not there.
ChatGPT has mostly given me very poor or patently wrong answers. Only once did it really surprise me by showing me how I configured BGP routing wrong for a network. I was tearing my hair out and googling endlessly for hours. ChatGPT solved it in 30 seconds or less. I am sure this is the exception rather than the rule though.
I would expect nothing less. But to be fair, I'd expect any large corporation to behave this way. Microsoft probably doesn't want to get sued by publicly admitting fault.
