Eh Mun tun.
I think a more accurate headline would be "Woman set home on fire using gasoline".
Sending a virtual cyber hug your way. I'm a bit the same with Thanksgiving. Feeling a loss during a "cheery happy time" blows. Not too much else I can say. I hope you get through it.
This is actually a real problem... A lot of digital documents from the 90's and early 2000's are lost forever. Hard drives die over time, and nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff.
I am a crazy person, so I have RAID, Ceph, and JBOD in various and sundry forms. Still, drives die.
I feel like I should throw in a good word for Fedora. I run a combination of dnf and flatpak, and have a grand time, and am doing an IT diploma program aimed very solidly at Windows under Fedora. I've used Ubuntu, Mint, and Manjaro, and landed on Fedora for my desktop experience.
Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?
It's funny, I had a horrible toxic job for way longer than any sane person should ever have to deal with, and one aspect of it was dangerous noise levels. We complained, and the company always sent "independent" inspectors who always found that the noise levels were juuuust inside the legal safe limit. Even when they added enough equipment to double the volume! Funny that... Anyways, I am now over six months gone from that job, and I just realized that my tinnitus is way better than it was! Ditto my mental health... Now I just need a winning lottery ticket or a not-soul-sucking job...
Mine is misreading usernames and thinking someone who posted this was an insane carp or cod.
I had one go pop on a customer, and it melted their computer, irretrievably destroying their data. Leave the battery out and somewhere fireproof.
There are a lot of good sellers of corporate leasebacks out there... A five year old ThinkPad is going to kick butt over anything new with a Celeron. I'm a student, and I got an MSI workstation with an i7-9750H, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVME, and a garbage battery for 250$ CAD. That's less than 200$ USD.
It's slangy, for sure. It's said in a way where the rest of the sentence is not explicitly stated but implied. Like, "Now I put the cheese... " (On the burger), and then I put the bun. (Again, on the burger.) It's not terribly uncommon, but it does happen.
I'm about to start school again after 20 years away... A bit nervous. Still, my job was slowly killing me, and I really feel like I can do this.
Also, I accomplished a nerd thing which I am proud of.

John Carter. I just... Liked it! I feel like it was so close to being a big deal, and it got Focus Group-ed into mediocrity. Like, they could have called it "A Princess of Mars", leaned into its legacy of being this epic thing, but instead they buried it.
