FML! It was well over 90 degrees farenheits last week and the flies were BITING!
I got nailed several times by one of the fuckers in my car until it escaped out the window.
It was just a regular black housefly. I had no idea they could bite. Like a needle stabbed into me.
At least the mosquito is relatively painless.
Fuck biting houseflies.
This law is specifically designed to kill nonprofit-run and private software like Linux.
I do not know if that is true. Most of the political hacks writing these bills have zero understanding of computers and do not even consider Linux in the equation. They see Windows, iOS, Android and macOS.
This is more aimed at mom and dad with three children who have tablets for all the shits and take no responsibility for what the kids do with the devices.
Linux devs will just step back from releasing code packaged with installers and users will have to compile and set any given program up themselves.
I use MacPorts and Homebrew for what I need.
Well shit… just on the ripping the optical media… that is a chore and a half!
Keep on with it, will be delightful to follow your progress and for you, I imagine, it will be glorious.
Wow. Going after letter openers now, are they?
Im still financially dependend on them…
As long as they’ve got that leverage over you, they’re likely not going to change as quickly as you’d like - if at all. Be aware of this fact…
Hard truth here.
AS soon as you can, jump from being dependent on them. Yes, it’s gonna blow donkey balls and be miserable for a few years, until you get your working/adult feet under you, but the sooner you cut that cord the better you will be.
In the long run, you’ll be glad you moved on with your adult life and gained financial independence.
The other thing, is that as you step into your new life and you’re in the hustle of making money and scratching out a life - the angst over your folks will fade into the background. You’re gonna be so busy making ends meet you won’t have time or energy for parental drama.
God’s honest on that.
The first steps out into independence are the hardest. Grit your teeth and leap.
You’ve got more strength than you know… you got this.
Needs a very small round, brown pillow for effect…
Damn, this is … hmm. I don’t know… but I do like it!
Bwahahahah! Yeah, I live an hour north… most of it is fairly true, but there is some crazy good food in Boston.
Black… deffers black. Can use it to get away when you cause some michegoss.
Exactly.
Hmmmm. Wonky events like this are part of why I’m glad I’ve always kept plain text hard copies of every key and password I’ve used.
Shit’s a nightmare when you get shut out of your stuff…
Good on you that you sorted it all.
Well… I recall people were using those horrid Esteban guitars for birdhouses. IIRC they weren’t really made of wood.
It’s not the shitting the bed so much as the go to bed w/o having that evening pee, and ending up wet at 3 am because you couldn’t wake fast enough from a dead sleep when your dream about peeing turns into the real thing. Oh… no…
LOL!
We’ve all been there…
Oh sweet Jesus! LOL! This is me, though not with Linux, but trying to use Macports to get some damn program running and failing miserably because I couldn’t get the permissions set on the dependencies correctly.
Rake right to the face. FML.
Now waitaminit!
I like mothssesses.
Best favorite animal!
I do my backups manually.
As I have run unsuported Mac installs for the last 20 years, I started a long time ago, automatically partitioning my OS drives and making storage volumes to work off of.
The storage volume in the computer will have subfolders for the type of data - music, video, photos, etc.
When my storage volumes fill, I will pull my latest backup drive out of storage, hook it up then go into each storage subfolder, sort by date and add everything that’s newer than what’s in the backup drive. (which is actually how Apple’s Time Machine backups work - incrementally sorted by date - but I’ve had this method since the start, so I just stuck with it)
I just make sure to take note of how many files/folders I’m adding to the backup drive and note what it has at the start, then at the end, as a double-check of it all, before I clear the storage drive on the computer. (I did not do this and lost almost a years worth of music rips, waay back in 2003. Rebuilt the music I lost then iTunes threw a wobbler and lost the library for me. FML…)
The longest backup will ALWAYS be the initial one if you’re dealing with a first time backup. The rest, once you work out how to organize your files, is academic.
What I’ve found is that your tastes will change, you grab content you think you’ll want to hold onto forever… and then years later, you realize it’s low-bitrate, low-resolution, too pixellated… whatever… and you decide to delete it.
With the software doing the backups for you - it’s too easy to just let it rip and go have dinner while it works and you end up with files that you’d otherwise get rid of. Part of being a data hoarder is not keeping everything forever. There’s a ton of garbage online. Tastes change as you get older… You want to curate that shit so you can keep what’s most important - like family stuff.
And really good porn.
If you own your car outright, drop collision and keep liability and add glass and theft and bump up the medical on the liability.
You can get coverage a lot cheaper of you drop the collision part, but it does mean that if you’re not on the ball and run off the road and smash up your car in a ditch or onto a curb/stone wall/ whatever… it’s on you.
As I told my insurance agent, why should the insurer pay if I’m not paying attention to what I’m doing behind the wheel?
He agreed.
