Yup. Customers gotta note and avoid the untrustworthy spokes people, otherwise there is no downside for the spokesperson.

If conservatives can shape society with executive orders, progressives can as well.

Shaping change grassroots is great, but progressives don’t need to be bound by different rules than conservatives.

Edit: toning down my rudeness.

No they aren’t. A number of proposals have been kicked around for decades. There has not been the will to implement.

Most importantly and very evident in the US: 100 yrs of reform can be rolled back in one day. We’re seeing that reform is pointless.

It also means swinging the other way takes a day. (Unlikely, but now far more likely than before.)

Be sure to watch costs. Lots of mechanics own everything to the “SnapOn man”.

Have you considered graduate school? (Enrollment goes up when economy sucks.)

It can be easier to get a job with a masters degree or PhD.

Bonus points for being societally acceptable.

What about people that live outside? Can they draw a line around “their” space and keep vampires out?

Thought for sure he was dead. Apparently that was a hoax. He is alive and doing things (like writing).

Can’t think of pro-LLM fan boys in the same light anymore.

And what happens when the AI is an official at work? “My boss says I am the second coming of Jesus and this expense is approved.”

Apt-cacher-ng doesn’t tend to expire automatically. It can be configured to keep the last version regardless. https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/html/maint.html#extrakeep

One can also use a cache to hold deb and rpm files requested by the machines. (Works great when running hundreds of systems.)

I like “apt-cacher-ng”. It will do deb and rpm. https://wiki.debian.org/AptCacherNg

Edit: better link

Offline repository caches for Linux have been a thing for decades. People absolutely pass binaries to friends.

Flatpac may not be suitable, but that is only one way to get software on Linux.

Pretty much every Windows machine I’ve ever owned after a certain year requires you to type in your Bitlocker key, including my first-gen Surface Go from 2018.

This is interesting. I had a work computer require this ~4 years ago, but not one of the three since have (personal and different employers.)

For #2, there are multiple websites that deal with similar subjects. Pull good links from one and paste to another.

For #3, you are correct. Also, reading other blog posts on a linked blog.

Lots of different ways.

• reposts
• sourcing from other sites.
• reading popular blog archives.

It is complicated. There are several options, each with tradeoffs in functionality, compatible software, and performance.

A simple method is to use one system as a desktop, and SSH into the others as “headless”.

Other options include making a K8s or HPC cluster (there are other cluster types).

Spreading a single set of communicating processes requires a low latency interconnect. Something better than Ethernet, like Infiniband. But many programs don’t support that.

Time to check Humble Bundle.

Me and the homes in the old person dorm. Playing games, watching movies, doing community service.

Ah, shit man.

Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his “most important connection”.[15] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work.[16] U.S. Vice President JD Vance “has cited Yarvin as an influence himself.”[17][18][19] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump’s second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin’s ideas.[20] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was “an informal guest of honor” due to his “outsize influence over the Trumpian right.”[21]

Is Rocket League a RPG?

No.
