What's your favourite historical photo and why?
This one really affected me. It's one of the first images from the surface of Mars. I was quite young, and it clicked in me that other planets actually exists and are out there in space.

Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages
Not sure how to interpret this. The use of any tool can be for good or bad.
If the quality of the game is increased by the use of AI, I'm all for it. If it's used to generate a generic mess, it's probably not going to be interesting enough for me to notice it's existence.
If they mean that they don't use AI to generate art and voice over, I guess it can be good for a medium to large game. But if using AI means it gets made at all, that's better no?

Arrrgghh!
Call me autistic, but does this need to be an image? It uses like 10 000 bytes to say what 100 bytes would say in text. :P

What is it with services now separating username and password fields?
I think it's due to single sign on (SSO) or other means of authentication (OAUTH), which is convenient when used.
But I agree, annoying if you use username and password.

Could 2024 be the year of the diagonal linux desktop?
Thanks, I hate it!

How do you keep your home servers online during powercuts?
I actually built my own 2 kWh battery setup after finding available commercial UPS overpriced.
It took some work and cost me about 2000 euro, but now I run everything (including networking, servers and monitor) directly on a battery feed DC net in my house.
It's pretty cool too have all IT equipment unaffected by a power outage.

Right?! I've just assumed the GNU/Linux nitpick to be a meme at this point. An old and tired one at that...

What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?

I've done this with debian in the past, you just install different DE in parallel. Works well enough, don't remember it causing any issues. It just makes a mess of your home folder, so I don't do it outside of testing purposes.

A life hack is that you don't have to answer what I would perseive as an aggressive phone call. Stand you ground and keep the communication in you preferred way.

Why would your best friend or someoneyou mutually considered a good friend suddenly ghost you?
This sucks, I know. I just responded to a friend's message from two months ago, and I've felt bad about not responding since then. But life happens, and for me at least it had nothing to do about that friends behaviour.

I've used Linux for 15 years and absolutely don't tinker with a system I depend on, completely agree with this advice.
The downside as others have mentioned is that tinker-free support is hardware dependant. But it's getting better over time.

Your Brain On A Run Looks A Lot Like Your Brain In Meditation
Yes! I went to a meditation class once, and thought to my self "huh, this is just like long distance running but without the exersice". I'll stick to running. 😆

Någon med erfarenhet av... kontorsstolar?
Jag jobbar hemma och sitter väl ca 10 h om dan, och upplevde samma problem som du.
Men för två år sedan köpte jag efter rekommendation en pilatesboll att sitta på.
Det tog nån månad att vänja kroppen vid en annorlunda belastning, men jag är väldigt nöjd. Smärta i ben och rygg är borta, och nu blir jag snarare trött vilket jag löser genom att ta en kort paus.
Värt att prova tycker jag, och betydligt billigare.

Anyone else feel weirdly drawn to forests or have the desire to live near one?
Yes! I've recently bought a house that has a forest on one side and the city on the other. It's great! I take daily walks on the trails in the woods.

Ship begins laying 440km cable to link world’s largest offshore wind farm to UK energy grid
That ship is much larger than I expected for "just" laying cables. But then again, I have no idea how they do it...

It’s not very cleanly built, and parts of it are hidden. But this shows the main parts.
The black UPS on the left is the old one, not in use anymore.
The silver inverter on the left feed a rail in my server rack.
On the right is the battery and charger, and in the middle the fuse box and transfomer.

Hollow Knight - 6 Years Later. [Ceave Perspective] [1h31m08s]
I picked this game up for vacation a couple weeks ago, after having it on my wishlist forever.
I don't like bosses in games, and I'd say I still don't. But this game has been great, the hype is certainly justified. And the bosses are annoying but hard and fun. The world building is fantastic, exploitation is fun and accessible. The kind of game that's easy the learn and hard to master, and just keeps on giving.

Does Linux even work properly on Dell XPS laptops?
I sure hope so . I have a new XPS 13 9315 on the way!
I've been running a 2019 XPS 13 on Debian without any major issues, just sleep that has high battery drain. But I think that's a common issue.
