Most everything everywhere is virtual these days, even when the host hardware is single tenant. Companies running hosted applications on bare metal are rare. I run personal stuff that way because proxmox was too much hassle, but a more serious user would have just dealt with it.
Put on some music that’s about the right length, or work out through some number of songs, or pedal some number of “miles” if the bike has an odometer.
You get used to driving, and automatic is probably easier to learn with but afterwards it’s not an issue.
It could go either way, but reasonable point. We will see.
Will she still want that if the Senate flips in November?
“Best” often is a literary work that can be slow to read and/or very long. You want stuff that is short and quick, which is fine, I read a lot of fanfiction for that purpose. But I’m going to recommend Pohl and Kornbluth’s “The Space Merchants” and their other short novels from that era (1950s). Their cynicism is absolutely prescient. The Space Merchants is about a world run by advertising agencies. A quick read while hard hitting.
1AA is not a keychain light, it’s a pocket utility light. In my case mostly for use around the house, so more lumens is useless. It would be about 2 or 3 hours of runtime.
The famous Arc AAA was designed from the beginning to have 5 hours of runtime if that matters. That came in handy for me during a long power outage some years back.
A pound or two a week sounds kind of moderate? I mean it’s a lot, but if you like peanut butter? I don’t eat nearly that much of it on average, but when I buy a 1 pound jar I usually finish it off in much less than a week. It’s just an occasional thing for me though.
Are those oxalates only if the PB is getting spoiled or anything like that?
Took a minute to realize that the second to bottom pic was two lights, rather than one very gimmicky looking one ;).
If you talk to the Skilhunt guys, it would be great if they heard that some of us out here would really like an AA version of the E3A. 100 lumens like the E3A, 1 level, no lumenitis, no modes, no UI beyond on and off, minimal size, just the E3A again but bigger. The existing E2A gets all of this wrong.
Height in centimeters? I don’t entirely get this.
Sad to hear. Newpipe is still working fine (as of a couple minutes ago) if that helps. That’s through a residential IP. I will try yt-dlp from a data center IP when I get a chance. I hope they haven’t blocked that.
Org mode has a time tracking feature, dunno about report generation.
Only if you say sudo.

Off the topic of my head, maybe these can get you started:
Hackers, by Stephen Levy
The Hacker Ethic, by Pekka Himanen
True Names, by Vernor Vinge
Free Culture, by Lawrence Lessig
A Fire Upon The Deep (SF novel), by Vernor Vinge
There is a famous Erik Naggum rant about XML at, no wait, I better not link it but you can find it with a search engine if you want, which means you don’t get to complain to me about it since you are the one who went looking for it. Very NSFW and VERY politically incorrect. Naggum died in 2009 but anyone who published a thing like that today would be raked over the coals.
Forth is fun but not really suitable for large, long-lasting projects with huge developer communities. Linux isn’t being bootstrapped, it’s already here and has been around for decades and it’s huge. And, I think bootstrapping-by-poking-around on a new architecture has stopped being important. Today, you have compiler and OS’s targeted to the new architecture under simulation long before there is any hardware, with excellent debugging tools available in the simulator.
I don’t think Ada in the kernel would get any cultural acceptance. Rust has been hard enough. C++ was vehemently rejected decades ago though the reasons made some sense at the time. Adopting C++ today would be pretty crazy. I don’t see much alternative to Rust (or in a different world, Ada) in the monolithic kernel. But Rust seems like it’s still in beta test, and the kernel architecture itself seems like a legacy beast. Do you know of anything else? I can’t take D or Eiffel or anything like that seriously. And part of it is the crappiness of the hardware companies. Maybe it will have to be left to future generations.
Can anyone explain why Wayland exists or who cares about it? X has been around forever, it sucks but it works and everything supports it. Alternatives like NeWS came around that were radically better, but were too soon or relied too much on corporate support, so they faded. The GNU project originally intended to write its own thing, but settled for using X. Now there’s Wayland though, which seems like a slight improvement over X, but mostly kind of a lateral move.
If you’re going to replace X, why not do something a lot better? If not actual NeWS, then something that incorporates some of its ideas. I think Squeak was like that but I don’t know much about it.
