Legend!

I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year… The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.

Long past, but for old files especially, old .doc files it is great as a backup.

It lives in a VM that never has access to the internet, it almost never gets started up.

I have office 2007 on a winxp VM, I haven’t had to use it in a few years, but it is there as a back up

As someone with a 5yo.

Sit on the floor when interacting with them. Literally being on their level can help a lot, that and talk about stuff they are into.

As someone else mentioned, don’t baby talk to them, unless they have some specific learning disability, a 5yo will know a lot about what they are into (a dinosaur kid will know heaps about dinosaurs)

My boys all love Lego, build cool stuff, then let them have it, don’t use instructions.

Came to say this exact thing.

FFS I have 100’s of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.

Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.

This list looks very interesting, I’ll have to check them out, Completely Arbortrary really appeals.

Edit: I listened to the first two fall of civilizations, it is really good. Thanks for the recommendation.

Bernard Hickey is pretty good. Enjoy.

No human should be running w11.

Yep, downloaded XP over 33.6k modem, but I’m in NZ so 33.6 was more advertising than reality, it took weeks.

Hell my home server, running on low end Xeon hardware had uptime numbers around 3 years…then there was a power cut. Next down day was another power cut a year or so later. Total around 8 years running with 5 outages, all but one due to power loss (other was Ubuntu 16.04 - 18.04 upgrade).

Just updated to Ubuntu server 20.04 so uptime is only 7 days at this point.

Went to a steak and ale bar, asked for a medium rare and my partner asked for a medium.

Mine came out blue and hers was rare…I was like wow these are undercooked, sent them back…

They literally just microwaved the plate, salad and all…

Never went back, told a bunch of people to avoid the place.

By perpetrating another attack on November 9th, because clearly only 50% of the 9/11’s have been used.

I understand, but to solve the drive death issue, there are existing solutions which are easy and free.

Syncthing!

I use KeepassXC and sync my DB to my phone/laptop/desktop and backup to my server.

Why does this vehicle look like it has downs syndrome?

How is this still relevant.

Technically not cannibalism!

You aren’t seeing the big picture here…hear me out:

TRUMP STEAKS, but the real deal this time!!!
