Ok, so is Theo de Raadt always like this, because this is the kind of thing I'm wanting to get away from in Linux. Maybe I need to look at FreeBSD since they have a strong code of conduct. openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble

someday I want to get my hands on a Heathkit Hero-1 of my very own.

Yay, ok, samba is running on braeburn. Now just need to move more some VMs off of cadence so I can shut the poor thing down. Cadence is a big Xeon server, and this is going to be a very hot summer. Need to reduce my home's thermal profile.

Setting up the first server in my home infrastructure, Braeburn.

Is it just me or do women face WAY more stringent code reviews than men do?

Lists of LGBT-friendly (especially the T) businesses should be more of a thing. Even if we live in an increasingly accepting era, not everyone is really accepting yet, and knowing a place is friendly takes a shitload of anxiety off people who are otherwise risk-adverse.

New text for the warhammer mechanicus trailer:
From the moment I understood the weakness of the app store, it disgusted me.
I craved the strength and certianty of a cartridge.
I aspired to the purity of the blessed zip file.
Your kind claimed your DRM downloads, as if they will not decay and fail you.
One day the crude mess you call the app store will wither, and you will beg my
kind to save you.
But I am already saved.
For piracy is immortal.
Even in discontinuation, my console serves me.

So after trying a lot of browsers on my computer (super low end specs), I can say that midori is the fastest and most comfortable.

Does anyone know of a study about what kinds of computers low income US households have. I'm looking for mainly age. 32/64 bit, ram would be nice.

So, I'm working on the Qt 4.8 app, and its cross platform, but I hear that distros want to stop shipping qt 4.8, and the viability of the blackberry (runs qt 4.8) is in question. Makes me wonder if all of this is hopeless. Or maybe I just need to take a break.

The fact that Windows 10 Home doesn’t have #encryption of data at rest is discriminatory toward people who don’t have the money to buy Pro.

Encryption of one’s personal data should be a basic human right.

Valgrinding a Qt/QML application for fun and profit.

PSA: there's a federated, well-known and well-implemented federated chat protocol out there with many working server and client implementations. It's called XMPP. 

Use it or be prepared to remake the same billion mistakes that has already been made.
