Sorry everyone, I opened a new branch off the 2003 release while I was researching some of the bugs in the legacy code. That wasn't supposed to get merged in...

Here to answer the call. my first ever yuri

For the unedited version check out my Patreon

I would love a (solar-powered) community datacenter that hosts services for the local population. Community bulletin board or forum to share event notices, lost pets, road closures etc, simple messaging and filesharing utilities for those not technical enough to host their own, maybe some simple games like chess or cards.

The problem with the current explosion of datacenters is that they don't benefit the community at all, they're just digital oil rigs that drain the community of resources while also actively poisoning the area they're in. Small wonder communities are against them.

I find they're faster too. Another benefit of them being distributed is the distributor doesn't have to pay for all the bandwidth for every download, which I understand can be a considerable savings for smaller distros.

Haven't looked at my ratios in a while

As long as I hang onto it I can convince myself that I might pick it back up at some point. To give it away is to admit defeat.

Pasta and seasoning. And cheese I guess. Intended to me mixed with ground beef in order to stretch it into more meals. It's not awful, just poor people food.

The grant application practically writes itself.

Validate your backups regularly.

Also, make backups.

They have to disclaim it as leftist propaganda because to do otherwise would leave room for the upper class to possibly start feeling some empathy for the poor. These states are all places where christian fascism has its strongest grip, and part of maintaining that grip is constantly insisting that all problems that exist in the glorious uberstate are either A) the fault of non-whites / non-christians / gays / communists etc., or B) not really problems, just the fevered imaginings of the Liberal Media that Hates America. Am I gonna listen to what NBC, a company from New York City, has to say about my state? C'mon now.

A huge number of upper class Tennesseans will take any fig leaf offered that lets them believe that everything is mostly fine in TN, just a few ragtag "urban types" making things difficult for the rest of us. It makes it a lot easier to convince yourself that your lifestyle has no negative consequences, it's just lazy poors who don't work as hard at their dad's gravel company as you do.

It's a shitty and self-sustaining situation, which is why articles like these rarely have much impact. We've all already decided who we're gonna blame when stuff like this gets aired, and we just go through the same motions when it does.

Glad you reminded me, I hadn't checked my new rep for AIPAC contributions. Looking pretty good! It'd be nice to have someone in TN not bought by AIPAC.

yep, the bug triggers when a political party overflows its buffer. The funny thing is, the system still catches the error and spams the logs with FATAL error messages, but the system has been throwing them for so long and seems to still be chugging along so we kind of ignore them. One of the original devs made a comment about how someone should fix it right before leaving the team. Anyway, the effect tends to accumulate, so if you deploy it to prod and don't fix it, eventually you get... this.

My bad.

what client is that?

I don't care for zucchini and I'm in full support of people being able to grow their own food. I'm not sure how the two are related.

Please fuck all the way off with this sniveling, hand-wringy "We just really can't know for sure" plausible deniability crock of shit you scraped off of Milo Yiannopoulos's jackboot. There is no other context in which this sign makes sense other than as a joke, and prison rape is the punchline.

This is as good an excuse as any to break out the ol' IBM corporate songbook

Tech has always been suits at the top, hippies at best an annoying necessity because they know how to actually operate the machine.

Project Gutenberg is a collaborative project to make texts freely and widely available, to anyone in the world who cares to read them https://www.gutenberg.org/about/. The name comes from Johannes Gutenberg, noted for his invention of the moveable-type printing press, which dramatically reduced the cost of making books and made access to books a lot more feasible for the working class.

Project Gutenberg has a lot of old books because many countries have laws that restrict the free distribution of original work for a period of time after the work is initially published. These are called copyright laws because they govern who has the right to copy a work of art. In the US (and in other places, but I'm most familiar with US law so I'll use it as an example), copyright protections eventually expire and the work enters the public domain, meaning that it no longer has copyright protections i.e. anyone may freely copy the work, including Project Gutenberg. That's why they are able to make so many older books available for download.

EPUB is a file format that makes text files a little bit nicer to read than just plain text, especially if you're using an ereader, so Project Gutenberg will often provide the text in an EPUB format as well as in plain text.
