They aren’t American

Dealer’s choice

Agree. And as someone who planted that tree 25 years ago, the shade sure is nice year after year.

yt-dlp is my go to. It’s the open source project most other things use behind the scenes

Small ups systems use sealed lead acid so venting isn’t a concern

Complete nonsense. Enterprise drives are better for reliability if you plan on a ton of writes, but ZFS absolutely does not require them in any way.

Next you’ll say it needs ECC RAM

And if you dont have ECC zfs just might save your bacon when a more basic fs would allow corruption

They sell products for lawns as well

AI might improve their messaging soon

Do you send all outgoing email from individualized addresses too?

I do the same as you (raccoon.uber@ball.com), but all my outgoing emails come from (raccoon@ball.com), it worked great for about 5 years until people with me in their address book started getting hacked.

I tried years ago and got up to about 25wpm on Dvorak before switching back. it was seeming like the juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze

Whether or not I’m busy depends on what you’re asking me to talk about.

I feel like most people don’t even check their ISP email anymore. Why use that instead of the Gmail you’ve had for 18 years.

My grandma never learned any computerized technology more complicated than a lamp timer

But hot dog she could program her VCR to record her soaps like a champ, even without the VCR+ codes

It’s not hard on Debian

Did the kids just smoke somewhere else?

I don’t think we had an official smoking section but there was always a big crowd in the parking lot (early 2000s)

I love the musical instrument loan programs. I loaned a violin for a month to test out whether I wanted to learn to play it.

I like it and the experience gave me enough of an understanding of the instrument to feel comfortable buying a used one to continue on with.

I don’t think I ever would have started learning it without the library program, the instrument is so intimidating

Yeah, Mobile Fidelity
