@thor The drink on the right isn't a good choice. It should have a blue and barely visible flame.

Legally speaking, bars in Norway can't serve you if you're "clearly inebriated". In practice, what this means is more along the lines of "if he can't walk, send him home".

FISA extended to make every business from apartment rentals to cofe shops with wifi to spy for the government on the company’s dime. This saves money for Big Tech! But hey TikTok now has to be sold to facespace, so China has to give their psyop weapon the US.
Wait that’s not a tradeoff at all you say. You’d be correct. It’s just two piles of shit on top of each other. Changing who is shitting doesn’t matter that much.

@thendrix Go outside and pickup brass. I heard that quite a bit in my life.

Running Tiny C Compiler in the Web Browser ... Thanks to #WebAssembly and a little JavaScript

@skyblond Kylin Linux is one of the best distros I have tried.
Okay so it got that spot because of actual Pinyin support but it's surprisingly lightweight and quick.

No wonder Linux desktop can't beat Windows.
Today I was planning for my new Intel NUC. It comes with a 500G NVMe SSD (the bare bone version is out of stock) and 2x8GB RAM. So I'm planning on the disk layout.
The nuc13 can take one 2280 NVMe, one 2242 M.2 SATA SSD (NGFF), and one 2.5 inch SATA disk. Of course, I'm using openSUSE TW, so I got Btrfs out of the box. The question is what profile to use.
My first plan is to use 3 disks in raid 1. But then I found out the NGFF disk is really slow and hard to find quality ones. So I moved to 2, one NVMe and one SATA.
And then there is secure boot and LUKS things to handle. I want to use TPM to seal the LUKS key so I don't have to type password too many times. And if I'm going to add disk in the future, I should first let luks handle the disk, then add the mapped device to btrfs. Not mention the TPM issue. The TPM support is still under experimental stage, so every time there is a kernel update or bootloader update, the TPM can't unseal the key and I have to deal it manually.
Based on my current poort knowledge with those components, I think I'd just stick with the stock ssd, set up encryption and backup, then call it a day.
Despite I hate Windows, but this part Windows wins. Setup bitlocker is not that hard. And a system upgrade will not break it. And I need to see if I can get secure boot working on intel nuc with linux. If it's not working, then I have to type password anyway.

A friend of mine said "Why don't you get a tattoo? Live a little!"
Everybody and his uncle is getting those. It's almost peer pressure at this point.
I don't need artificial scars.
@thor Scars are the tattoos of the victorious.

I could make a lot of money with my skills if only I was an asshole.

As a tech guy, you kind of have two options. Sell your soul as a developer, working on some incredibly dull project, or become a manipulator of people. Neither option is very appealing. There is a third option, which is where I am now, where you're basically not making any money. The one where you do stuff you like, in a way that agrees with your ethics. This SHOULD be the thing that is profitable, but the world sucks.
@freemo It could be TRT.
