I’m ashamed to not see Miami in the map … we did great with no kings … I’ll poke around and see if anyone is organizing anything and needs help

Actual cuban here weighting in.

I will not shed a single tear if Canel and all his people get kidnapped and tortured … the Cuban people have suffered for 60 years because if the communist party stubbornness, but you know WHY the communist government is bad? because it’s a dictatorship … and you know who uses war powers without oversight or legal consequences? That’s right … dictators.

Governments need REGULATION so that this shit doesn’t happen, what went wrong with cuba is the same thing that’s going wrong with America RN.

Most apartments with water included in the rent price (Sorry kids, there’s no such thing as “free water”) closely monitor their usage on a per building or floor basis. Whenever they detect irregularities they schedule inspections with the tenants to check for things like leaking toilet valves and such.

“free water” just means that they’ve calculated the cost of installing the meters and additional plumbing and determined that monitoring global usage and including it in the price of rent is cheaper.

Source: I have water included in my rent, I pay about $50 more a month than a similar apartment without.

Unfortunately soldered ram and non replaceable batteries are becoming more common on the ultralights … Thanks Apple

I miss my clitmouse XD

Replying to my own comment to give yall one more tidbit.

The latitude product nomenclature is still standard

• 2 first digits of the model number are the “class” the higher the laptop the more high end
• last 2 digits of the model number are the generation (we are current in 60)

So for example the Latitude 9460 is the very high end laptop that came out at the beginning of this year while the 3540 was the entry level economy latitude that came out in 2023

Hijacking top comment to report that: This is true across the industry for (most) OEMs

The Secret is to buy “Enterprise level”

Check out the LATITUDE line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Latitude

Those are enterprise fleet laptops … the ones they have to support for 5-10 years.

You know which line they don’t discontinue parts for? You know which line has repair manuals and driver updates available? wanna take a wild guess which line is usually more modular and powerful at the expense of being less sleek looking and thin?

And the best part is that you can usually buy them fairly cheap if you find them used.

I prefer Dell Latitude to HP Elitebook, Thinkpads are OK too but they’ve gone down in quality a lot since they got bought by Lenovo

TL;DR = Buy an enterprise level laptop, consumer line laptops are all trash,

Peter Zenyan has a really good breakdown of why they want it … it’s for geopolitical reasons (the northern passage)

LOLOLOL I registered the bitnet.dev domain for my home lab … should I sell it?

Microsft … ring me up, let’s talk money

weight management is all about habits … start finding small ways to create healthier habits and grow slowly …

Sometimes there is a psychological factor. I was overweight most of my life and I always felt a constant need to satiate. When I was diagnosed with ADHD and started taking medication that hunger went away.

Try things like volume eating, fiber pills, drinking more water … small things add up over time but you have to be consistent.

Exercise helps but diet on it’s own can get you there too. CACO is the law (Calories in, calories out)

Give the Pangolin project a look.

It’s a reverse proxy with tunneling solution that can expose domain names to the internet without having to manage the certificates or open ports.

I use it in my home lab and it’s very very good

I’m a security engineer and I can personally confirm that trump has personally done more to advance tech in Europe that any other leader.

There is currently a “Sovereign cloud” arms race in European tech where governments are rushing to migrate out of US based solutions in favor for their own if possible and other European countries if otherwise.

It’s been great for the industry and for the end users. I’m in the US myself, but even I am benefiting because more competition = more options and now I can have services where that orange fuck we have to call president doesn’t have a say or access to my data.

So basically … like Miller’s Planet?

well, we can’t let you out of this, we’re all in this together. Let’s make programming “tidy whites” a thing! XD

thinga can still work … you just have to put a shit ton of effort

Host your own cloud, de-google your phone (Recommend /e/OS) run a piehole … etc

It’s basically a full time job

dont forget your programming socks

I wonder where RHEL would fall in that scale?

Who the hell reneges where their CD keys are? That was 20 years ago
