Cable management is an art form

Are those zipties? I fucking hate zipties whenever cleaning out old installs. They're just about always so tight it feels uncomfortable to cut those when youre dealing with fibres or just about anything, really.

I use velcro ties myself most of the times. If I absolutely have to use zipties, I leave then so loose that they're just guiding the cabling, not choking it.

Just today I cleaned out one +15 years old install and oh boy, multiple zipties there. Awful

PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels

Oh I can wait.

I've waited for Alan Wake 2. I've waited for countless of other games, time is on my side.

I have so many games in my backlog and on my steam wishlist, I dont really even care if some great game will miss steam. However, I will buy good games without denuvo and sometimes I can even pay the full price upon release. Rare, but a few times a year this can happen.

Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?

Cause its so convenient, fast and efficient. I have kids so I can make food quickly (sous vide'd chicken I've done some days earlier, usually) and it doesnt draw electricity as much as my normal oven. I quite like it, and it makes my life easier.

I orginally bought it like 6 years ago to make chicken wings, but nowadays I use it for pretty much everything.

You dont have to like it, thats your prerogative.

Well, I served in a special unit 20 years back and I can guarantee you that uncle sam will not put down money in one's training if there's a risk down the line that an expensive trained asset cannot be utilized for the median length of a career. They have so many perfect applicants to choose from, they're not picking anyone with a spot in their papers

I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project

So, I used ubuntu for pretty close to 20 years and it was my go to distro. I have had hundreds upon hundreds of servers running ubuntu.

Last few years I've been moving away from ubuntu because of their lack of respect for their core users. They have no clear vision and when they do, its a magnificently shitty one like the donkey balls decision to enfrorce snap on everything.

I will still have some ubuntu servers to take care of, but every new server I set up will be fedora.

Because fuck snaps, thats why

Now, why not just fork AOSP a la grapheneos?

Why we always have to invent something new? Why not just take the fork in the road and go build something better from it?

Thinking modern os, not even google has been able to do it (fuchsia).
