I’ve literally never prefixed a country code to a postal code and I’ve successfully sent over 300 letters and packages from sales on CardMarket and over 200 packages from sales on Ebay (all to EU). The country was always the last line in the address. I’ve also never done this for my own address, but I’ve seen it done yes. Particularly when an online merchant did it for me. Its a far cry from saying we do this in Europe. Its an exception rather than a rule.

Falls apart when you accept worldwide addresses.
75001 - Am I in Texas or France?
20001 - Am I in Washington or Algeria or Spain?
10115 - Am I in New York or Germany or Dominican Republic?
I guess you could compliment that with IP geolocation and now you suddenly have an address entry form with dependencies up the wazoo and can probably push it on its own repo. Thousands of lines of code, servers processing, ice glaciers melting just so I don’t have to type in that I am from Fucking, Austria.

Damn, I don’t think I’ll make 1M in my lifetime combined.

I’ve watched Linus some 10 years ago and it always seemed like he’s more of a face and a presenter and has others do research and tell him what to do. They give him some minimum info and let him go and make content. He knows more than the average person and apparently that’s enough to make content.
I wish he took it more seriously. He has a huge platform and can reach a lot of people and he often rather uses it for his own enrichment instead shining a light.

I wish that wasn’t a video, but a website with everything explained on one page. We used to host things damnit! /end rant

The circle of elders. Long beards, live in seclusion in monasteries, celibate… you know the type.

They can be pretty annoying, but when trouble is brewing, the wizards call upon them.

Of course they do. The first movie shows they are honorable killers / hunters. Afaik, this has always been part of their lore.

They usually involve competent professionals though. I’d say some of their plots are more about idiots than they are idiot plots.

Some less obvious ones I loved were Severance and Fargo.

Reminds me of a thread on Reddit of photos of Israeli missiles stuck in civilian buildings (apartment blocks). People asking where it was from and not one comment stating it was a Syrian city and where the missiles came from.
Treat everything you see as unconfirmed, no mater if it is for or against your beliefs. Manipulation is everywhere.

For Arch, I’d go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).
I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a “build all the software yourself” is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an “arbiter of software” who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn’t and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.

Fedora’s philosophy is free software only. So vanilla Fedora ships with FOSS only. Imo, they’re really good at this, but I personally couldn’t live with that. The community maintained fusion repository is essential because of Nvidia drivers and full ffmpeg. Steam is in a separate non-free repo as well.
Other than than tidbit, Fedora is easy to install, well maintained, has a large community and wide third party support (as in software devs often build “native fedora” binaries available on their repo).
I prefer it to any other Fedora based distro, but for the reason above, it may not be best suited for the average lemming.

Its only office.

Makes me uncomfortable looking at her. She needs to eat.

You’re right. I’m looking at it through a very limited scope: nightly releases. I’ve been working with “latest” so long, I forgot actual versions exist.

I recently realized: fuck it, just have the build date as the version: 2026.02.28.14 with the last number being the hour. I can immediately tell when something is on latest or not. You can get a little cheeky with the short year ‘26’ but that’s it. No reason to have some arbitrary numbers represent some strange philosophy behind them.

Not all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.

Any time I see her, I immediately think of that time she threw her massive dong on the table. For some reason, this video is burned into my brain.

Hospitals close for the night?
