Apparently most of these are from 2016, which feels like a fucking life time ago. Had to look up the time-line of his "career".

He came to prominence with his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which describes his upbringing in Middletown and his family's Appalachian values. It became a New York Times bestseller and attracted significant press attention during the 2016 United States presidential election. Originally, Vance was a critic of Trump and in 2016 wrote a critical piece in The Atlantic against him, but he later came to support him. Vance launched his first political campaign for Ohio's Senate seat in 2021 and won the Republican nomination after being endorsed by Trump. He defeated Democratic nominee Tim Ryan in the general election.

To phrase the message in that particular way had to be intentional, right? We'll have to get used to that in the coming seasons, it was only a matter of time.

To be quite honest, I can't shake the increasing feeling that formula1 and motorsport in general are just not sustainable anymore and I say that as a motorsport fan of over 30 years. Been to the nordschleife more times than I can count, set a lap time on it, loved every second of it and I still absolutely love motorsport.

I'll get a bit of severance pay next year and I'm seriously tempted to at least participate one year in amateur motorsports, but I can not justify it I think....... Every little bit counts they say......

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but it's been in my head for a long time now.

Just so that you're aware, this is only for the regular 12h(6h) race, not for the F1 action.

Can I watch Red Bull Formula Nürburgring online?

No, you can only experience the event live on site. But of course you'll find plenty of photos and videos on social media afterwards. As usual, the Nürburgring Endurance Series will be broadcast on our YouTube channel.

I have tickets for tomorrow, I'll try to snatch a couple of pictures/videos of the event and might post them here if there is interest.

Im not sure we'll see him race in Singapore. That track is really physically demanding, I doubt he'll be able to make it. What bad luck.....

Unfortunately I'm with you on this one. If this really fails, it helps a little bit with the war in Ukraine. Not much, but still....

Really sucks that we're at this point.

I started Quake1 remaster yesterday and it was surprisingly fun to play. The sound effects are still holding up very well.

Then I started another run of uncharted 4 and I'll probably finish it this week.

It is absolutely possible to dual boot from a single harddrive. Don't know about fedora, but the Ubuntu installer has taken care of that for ages now. Yes, it can fuck your windows install initially, but that is normally reversible.

If you don't know, a computer uses so called partitions and not the hard drive directly. Think of them as folders. Normally you have one partition which holds the bootloader information (one or two OS, or more) and then a partition for each OS. A little Programm after Turning on the computer let's you choose which OS you want to boot.

A lone Linux installation often has three partitions on one harddrive. One boot Partition, one for the OS and one for the home directory of all users. This way you can reinstall the OS without loosing your home directory.

Thanks. This definitely goes onto the pile of things I'll build at the new house.

Not OP, but most people are using load sensors under the bed frame with an esp or raspberry.
