Temba, his hand throwing horns 🤘

from stdlib.h import cout

Wait this looks wrong, shit...

Anything can use it, but I think by convention it's used for http on a non-privileged port.

That...is not how most people view breaks. Especially if you're into sports, which a pretty large chunk of the world is (just a hunch, but I'm guessing you're not).

Not the "trickle down" that we were promised, but at least this trickle down is real?

I mean, vigorous physical exercise is one of the most mentally relaxing activities, in a way (at least for me). Go for a 100km bike ride in hilly terrain, push yourself on the climbs, and just kind of let your mind wander. It's not edible-and-David-Attenborough relaxing, but it is relaxing in its own way.

Maybe there's some interplay between amd64 and x64 architectures.

AMD64 and x64 are the same thing. Do you mean AMD64 and x86? There is definitely interplay there, as AMD64 implements the x86-32 instruction set.

Same --- rsync to a pi 3 with a (single) ZFS drive at family's house. Retain some daily/weekly/monthly snapshots.

I have a (free) VPS with static IPv4 which is how I connect everything.

Both the VPS and the remote site have limited network speed (I think 50Mbps for VPS), so the initial sync was done sneakernet (well..."airplane net"). Nightly rsync is no problem bandwidth-wise, and is mostly just any new videos I've uploaded to my local Immich instance.

When they talk about being the party of Lincoln this isn't what I had in mind...

Scully and Mulder would not put up with this shit.

Look, if you don't want to listen to some random dude who thinks reading is cool, fair enough. But if that random dude also runs level three diagnostics on the warp core and can swap polarity on the main deflector dish with one hand tied behind his back? Yeah...you should probably pay attention.

Nah just give them the .tex source and let them deal with it.

I'm really bummed I missed this event --- a streetcar has a period appropriate jazz group for a free show. And they didn't charge fares either.

Turns out you can also rent the streetcars for events, which is pretty neat --- would make for a fun night on the town.

Nice!

This isn't the service route for the vintage streetcars --- they use those tracks to get from the rail house to their normal Market/Embarcadero route. But you can still ride them, kind of a Muni "secret menu." Easy way to find them is to use an app/website with realtime locations and look for an F streetcar that's on the wrong tracks.

They don't dominate like they used to, but we still have vintage streetcars on Market and the Embarcadero --- https://www.streetcar.org/

Same fare as other Muni busses and trams.

It is "backwards" from some other commands --- usually you run copy/rsync/link from source to destination, but with tar the destination (tarball) is specified before the source (directory/files).

That, and the flags not needing dashes always just throws me for a loop.

And the icing on the cake is that I don't use tar for tarring that often, so I lose all muscle memory (untaring a tgz or tar.bz2 is frequent enough that I can usually get that right at least...).

There was an old Top Gear episode with a race in a Nordic country with an interesting take on a price cap --- the price enforcement was that anybody could buy your car (for no more than the price cap) after the race.

So I think you technically could enter the race with a brand new tricked out rally car...but anyone could buy it for $500/$1000/whatever.

I think some commercial TVs might do what you want.

In grad school I picked up a an old free HP LaserJet, with an Ethernet NIC card (it was an upgradable printer, maybe from the mid 2000s?).

It was great! Only complaint was no duplexer, but the thing printed great from Linux and the generic toner was cheap.

Today though...the experience is a bit different.

At work on a slack it just means "I'm watching this discussion."
