Can confirm, the SSH thing saved me many times. I’m running Arch (btw), so as it turned out it did not have a working sshd by default, nor any swap enabled. I very quickly ran into issues where not even oom killer could save it. Once I figured these out though it was smooth sailing.

Lesson of the story: Don’t try to compile firefox from source without swap…

What kinda idiot would want no fat?

Dragon Age 2 is a bit ooof. Excellent combat, but the story and especially the scenery… you revisit the same parts of town and the same dungeon over and over and over.

I used to. Not since 2012. I had a night shift job, getting paid to do nothing.

Also since 2020 I’ve been wfh. So technically yes, I play games at work.

Before this I used to play certain games exclusively, often for 10+ hours a day (beefy laptop at work and then home).

Ragnarok Online - 2003-2008

Ever hear the saying “Don’t look a gift horse into the mouth”?

It demonstrated plenty of thought.

Maybe they have impossible steak!

Yeah. Who knew you could die of an Asthma-attack induced heart-attack at 27.

“I hope it never fades” in response to me telling her that I fell in love in a different way over the weekend we spent together.

From your desktop to your deck? How’s the effective frame rate of that?

FUCK it let’s do it!!

Unless…?

DDG uses bing and yandex under the hood, no?

Maybe I should let it go, it’s been years.

How about that the CEO has shitty views and got ousted for it from Moz? Is that forgivable?

Or that it’s yet another Chromium based browser?

“Nem csináltam semmit!”

Damn, it works in Hungarian too.

Maybe it’s just English that’s stupid, and not every other language.

For sysadmin stuff? Or for daily use?

I usually just feed my questions into three different LLMs plus ddg with site:reddit and then check consensus. As good as it gets.

But then last time I’ve managed to discover DeadBeeF through IRC.

We were on a Zoo trip during summer camp, me and my brother and a bunch of other kids from our judo class. Mostly early teens.

Certain areas in the Zoo had free roaming animals, mostly kangaroos, emu, peacocks, some ponies, goats and sheep. A couple kids had the great idea to pester the pelicans. Pelican are a funny bunch that keep begging for treats with their giant beaks open and waddling around. They look less than threatening, although they have that frowny looking eye.

Anyway the kids decided it’d be fun to take turns spitting into the beaks of one particular giant pelican instead of giving it treats. It didn’t really like it but the kids kept persisting, daring to lean in closer and closer into the pelican’s wide open beak. Finally my stupid little brother in the spur of the moment thought he’d show the other kids how it’s done. He ran up to the pelican, leaned in really close and spit the most nasty wad into its beak. At that moment the pelican turned its head sideways and

*** CLAP ***

I’ll never forget the sight of my brothers head being completely engulfed by a giant beak.

The grab only lasted for a blink of an eye. My brother didn’t even have time to realize what happened and struggle against it. He came out with a surprised and slightly scratched face. The surprise turned into a grin and then laughter within seconds.

Nevertheless, the pelican gained the respect from the kids and they’ve stopped pestering it. But somehow I imagine that this is basically the worst they can do. Give you a stereo-slap on your ears with their beak. You are safe against that brown pelican.

Be glad it’s not a cobra chicken.

Seems anecdotal!

It’s certainly hard to get to know your neighbours in a glass box in the sky.
