Heh, I have that book upstairs. When reading it to my daughter, she was horrified that rats would do such a thing.

I have a pelicase of 40 4TB SAS drives sitting in my basement. It might be worth a fortune one day.

Ok, time for me to ask, because not knowing isn’t getting any less embarrassing:

1. Which movie/show is this freeze frame from? Seems familiar. Sure, I’ve seen a million variations of the meme, but I think I’ve actually seen the original at some point.
2. Where’s the head from originally? And yes, I am aware of the stonks-meme. Before that.

Yes. Newest version of mint uses pipewire as audio engine, and if you combine that with the good old pulsaudio controller (which works with pipewire via a plugin), you can micro which app input/output goes to which device.

This works more or less out of the box. I think I remember needing to install pulseaudio-pipe or something similarly named, or it might be included by default.

Source: When working with audio I have multiple audio hardware running at once, each with different behavior and associated software.

Does it have to be a new laptop? What you’re describing is basically a used work laptop. I’ve gotten to take my work PCs with me upon leaving, and I use them still. My current work laptop is in fact the work laptop from my previous employer, only with a fresh reinstall (Linux Minr Debian Edition), and it works well.

If you’re able to source a 2nd hand Dell, you’ll probably have what you need. Might need a battery replacement, but that’s easy enough to sort out.

Linux Mint works pretty well out of the box for most installs, so I suggest you give it a try and see if it does what you need.

I can’t speak for the other mods, but I think it’s a reasonable question and see no reason for deletion.

I was thinking the same thing, except a rock. I frequently visit ships as part of my job, and it would be no problem dumping it somewhere it would be likely to remain undisturbed for the rest of eternity. A grain if sand is likely to move with the currents. A rock will not.

Fuck no.

Sure, sometimes I think of the freedom I had in 2008-2010ish with a nice paycheck no responsibilities to speak of, and loads of spare time. But I feel that that span of time was too short to be representative of anything. Before that I was perpetually broke and after that I had to pretend to be an adult.

No sources from me, only uneducated guesswork.

Two events of 1971 stand out to me, as I knew of them beforehand:

• My brother was born. Not relevant to the question at hand (I hope), I just wanted to mention it.
• The oil crisis.

The latter strikes me as probably a big factor. The world was basically using oil for everything (Even more so than now), and an oil shortage (or fear thereof) is likely to send a drastic shock to the system. Manufacturing, logistics, energy, EVERYTHING becomes more expensive, resulting in having to do more with less.

Shortly after the (percieved) shortage, there was an oil glut and overcorrection. I’m not clever enough to say what effect this would have in exact terms, but I highly doubt that an already turbulent world economy did well because of it.

I tried to (re)watch Lucky Number Slevin, but I just couldn’t finish it.

I first watched it when it came out, and I remember liking it, but I didn’t remember much of the actual movie. So I decided to rewatch it recently and… I absolutely hate it. I figured I may have found some of the dialog funny before, but now it’s just tiresome.

I like convoluted plots, but here I get the sense that it’s convoluted just for the sake of being convoluted. On top of that the writing seems to have been done by a 17 year old who thinks he’s the smartest person in the world coming up with the dialog, but in the end you have a movie that simply tries too damn hard to seem smart.

I found myself rolling my eyes so much that I gave up halfway through.

I stay up to date by choosing a date from 20-30 years ago. T-shirt and jeans for ever!

I will, but on/by your side. Snipsnip gang represent!

I lived to Brno for close to two years. Didn’t see a single cheque/check while there. I think they’re mutually exclusive with Czechs.

And on the off-chance that port 22 is blocked, you could always spin up sshd on a different port. Hell, if you’re not hosting www content, you could have sshd listen on ports 80 or 443, and no sane employer blocks those ports outright.
