Similarly, I have a Rocky server that was configured from an existing CentOS server. I have no complaints.

I do have a RHEL server as well. That runs a lot of my 'house' stuff.

FWIW, veterans are a 'protected class' and discriminating against them while hiring is against the law.

(In the US... I can't speak for other countries.)

This law was in place when I was still regularly hiring people. I assume that it's still true with perhaps even stronger protections. In fact, if they left your company to serve in the military, you're supposed to rehire them if they return. That law is more recent, but still quite old. I forget the details, but that changed in the 1990s.

No, it shouldn't. Hell, that's a large percentage of the fun.

Make sure you're right the first time around. If not, we get to guffaw when people make mistakes.

By the time we have the tech to do proper depth of field properly, eye tracking will probably be cheap, and you can do it with a gaze-and-squint interface.

Can't be sure if I'm serious, or only squinting to select

Same as it ever was (x8)

It's not local, but a pair of leased servers. It's nothing huge, or anything like that.

I've yet to find anyone with a reasonable price. I note that you did not include a link to anyone with a reasonable price for this.

They clearly did, if this is that much faster than dmg then they fucked up with dmg.

Nothing I wrote makes it even seem like I'm confused about that, except to people who are confused by mice with more than one button.

Yes, I read the fine summary. Some of us do that.

What was it about the implementation of dmg that made it so much slower, and why did apple think it was okay?

There are really two parts of a vaguely modern vehicle that are attacked by the results of using ethanol fuel, fuel pumps and the injection equipment whether that's a carburetor or a fuel injector. Those parts have steel bits, including jets or nozzles, and the ethanol draws water in from the atmosphere and then it evaporates. That leads to corrosion of these parts.

Ethanol is a potential problem for hoses and seals, but this is only usually an issue for much older vehicles and the fix is pretty easy, except where carburetors are involved. Then they need to be re-sealed, and if there's not a kit available, that requires making new seals on a laser cutter. And those are still moderately expensive.

The fuel isn't the problem. Basing ethanol production on topsoil is the problem.

Sandia NREL proved in the 1980s you can grow algae economically in open raceway ponds, and you don't even need to add algae. The air will do it for you, and the most efficient algae to produce at your latitude and in your local conditions will outcompete other strains so you will automatically get the most beneficial species for production in your location.

The focus at the time was for lipids for biodiesel production. But you could as easily produce ethanol. Or more intelligently, you would make butanol using the ABE process, which also produces some acetone and some ethanol. Octane can be adjusted by mixing the butanol and the acetone. The ethanol can be used as an industrial solvent, far away from fuel systems, where it draws in water.

This is closely related to what I said when we discussed this last time: When I went to college, I was required to apply for financial aid, which means doing the FAFSA. This pushes ID verification off onto the federal government.

They're just getting ready for the war between the USA'n'SRs vs Europe.

Some of us have always wanted smart glasses. But we also want them to not be crap. I have pretty limited requirements for the graphics capabilities, but it does include overlay. But they also need to be in basically the same form factor as ordinary glasses, and they have to not be under the control of someone who's going to piss me off all the time showing me a lot of sponsored fuckery, and any processing has to be done on a device on my person and not someone else's computer. And I really don't want to be around other people who are streaming video to teh cloud 24/7, either.

What we're going to get will be very different from that description for the foreseeable future.

It doesn't matter where the cluster is located, if you don't own it then you have the same issues with your data on someone else's systems. If you're going to load it into someone else's rolling DC, you might as well load it into someone's remote DC. Then nobody has to drive the DC around.

"Don't put China and North Korea into the same basket. Both claim to be communist, neither one is."

Don't say they are the same, that's my job!

Debian offers both things, but I am using nvidia so Wayland won't work even as well as it can work, which is not as well as X11.

I expect to get an error explaining something about why a program failed, even if it's not very informative. Any program which cannot manage that is crap, and I should not have to go out of my way to get some kind of error either.

I will just keep using zoom in the browser when I have to use it, which is thankfully infrequent.
