Oh so many fun adventures, too much to count... But a few nice ones:

• HDD died, so ran a desktop system over network from a NAS (nfs) without HDD.. for months.
• Rebuilding a corrupted system (any bit advanced tools wouldn't start anymore, like apt).
• Custom bootable live cd based on Linux From Scratch (around 2002).
• Anything related to Kerberos and NFS4.
• Replacing syscalls to run software from a ramdrive that would otherwise not work.
• Recently using debootstrap to install Kubuntu with a ZFS root, which went surprisingly smooth and pretty easy.

I love Linux for all these insane possibilities.

I think the movie was... just fine.. There were some funny moments and I like Jack Quaid. But there was really nothing special in it. And it irked me a bit to see the protagonist get pretty nasty maimed.. even though he just shook it off.

All in all hardly a memorable movie for me. I've recently watched Borderline and that one made a better impression.

The BOFH and his PFY are still helping their users...

Not parent, but; Enterprise is one of my favorites. Some things that I really like about it:

• The enterprise itself is bare and functional. Not luxurious with nice carpets. This ups the stakes and realism.
• They get beat up a lot and their ship is quite primitive.
• Archer is mostly likable and nicely balanced, although he gets a bit dark in later seasons.
• All main cast have distinct personalities and are well acted and likable. Most of them also grow as member of the crew.
• The crew interactions are well written mostly.
• The tension between Archer and T'Pol is intense.
• I really like the cmdr. Shren storyline.
• Hoshi is hot (and smart) so I didn't mind the de-con scenes. And besides the eye-candy they did have a story.

These are the things I can think of right now, but I really enjoyed it over all (of course with its ups and downs per episode).

I do not agree. Very often, when using libraries for example, you need some extra custom handling on types and data. So the easy way is to inherit and extend to a custom type while keeping the original functionality intact. The alternative is to place the new functionality in some unrelated place or create non-obvious related methods somewhere else. Which makes everything unnecessary complex.

And I think the trait system (in Rust for example) creates so much duplicate or boilerplate code. And in Rust this is then solved by an even more complex macro system. But my Rust knowledge might just nog be mature enough, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

That was one of the things that really helped with the immersion for me in Witcher 3 and even Cyberpunk. You walk into a building, house, etc and the world outside just continued and was present. I'm still quite impressed with their engine and it is a bit sad that they'll be switching to UE5 for the next Witcher.

This is the best answer. I've been doing it for years at work. Dual-booting is just very inconvenient and WSL(2) is the worst of both worlds.

Install Linux on the machine and keep windows in a nice secure kvm-based cage where it can do less damage.

I have heard this argument for over 20 years.. "You have to use the terminal in Linux, so user hostile".

Well, try to do ANY windows sysadmin tasks without Powershell.. See how far that gets you. Need to manage Exchange? Powershell. Need to change some network settings? Powershell.. It is even getting more and more unavoidable. Now Powershell doesn't even have a good terminal environment, sane parameters or good usability. And a general lack of documentation for all the obscure incantations.

In the meantime KDE on Linux is wonderful, fully integrated with the system, easy software maintenance (on Kubuntu for example) and with a sane settings menu... You hardly need a terminal at all. Try to find that in Windows.

So sorry, this argument is either invalid, out of date or Microsoft is even worse.

Ha, I had to look up the most up-to-date acronym on Wikipedia and found this one. They are NVidia and Adobe.

I quite like this one :)

I would buy YouTube Premium in a heartbeat if it wasn't by the morally corrupt Google (or any other from MANAMANA).

Holy snark aside... 18% preprinted on the bill? That brunch better included a BJ then. And yes, I'm European.

Hey, careful now. German jokes are no laughing matter...
