Or a piling or filing or filling or recording.

In order to be using any of these DNS providers you would have already needed to switch away from your ISP’s default DNS. This must be targeting the people who knew how to change their DNS servers but somehow forgot.

Hot sauce! I didn’t know about that. Gonna follow that thread for sure. A laptop with good Linux support, choice of CPU, trackpoint that’s upgradeable and and supports hot pluggable hackable modules! This is the future I want to be in!

I went with a Thinkpad for my most recent upgrade but I really, really wanted a Framework. If there was a straightforward trackpoint keyboard kit available for the Framework I’d be all in next round. There’s no love lost between Lenovo and I at this point.

So much this. Health insurance is the primary reason I have a salaried position.

Yup, total recall.

Not to defend 12hr time because it’s dumb as a bag of bricks, but 12:45pm is definitely past noon and having the time go from 12:00am to 12:01pm would be way too silly. Also, you can think of the moment between 11:59:59.999999~ as just before noon and 12:00:00.0000000001 as the first fraction of a second after noon if it helps.

For a real trip check out this Japanese laptop:

It was the style at the time! Lots of CD players had flip up tops, as did the Sega Saturn. I assume it was because the slide out tray mechanism was more expensive and also more fragile.

A “swap” file is for holding pages of memory that have been swapped from RAM to disk.

Hi fellow traveler. I think you and I took a similar path to get here except I started with a 33.6k modem in high school and the catch phrase I remember is “Information wants to be free.” What’s your thought on copyright reform? Somewhere along the lines of 25 years and non-renewable? How you feeling about the concept of software/algorithm patents? Talking about stuff like this is reminding me of /. :)

Windows 95 OSR2.1 (with USB support!) -> RedHat 5.1 (from a CD included in a book at the local Barnes and Noble) -> Debian 2.1 (or so? apt was a fucking revelation. RH5.1 was pre-Yum) -> experimented with Gentoo in college for a couple months (doesn’t everyone?) -> Debian -> Ubuntu (maybe around 8.04?) -> (a bunch of cycles between Debian, Elementary and Ubuntu) -> back on Debian now and it feels like home :) (but I have Elementary, Haiku and Ubuntu on some old laptops I play with sometimes)
