Tell him or her that if it’s underground, it’s called magma rather than lava.
Oreshnik hypersonic missile.
Start with a vps so you can ramp up with the software.
Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are? Or would you rather be a mule?
FYI Hetzner VPS have a 1 click install for guix if you just want to try it out.
No idea about aleph. I’ve used Solr for that (solr.apache.org), thus my username, but maybe that is considered old school by now.
See if you are smart enough to turn the thing off.
Do I really have to have written “stop changing the defaults”? Like if Firefox kept changing its keyboard shortcuts would that be non-annoying as long as you can reset them? Oh yes, they DO that.
Could they stop changing stuff like this? Oh well, I gave up on GNOME years ago anyway.
Kurdistan Region’s Counter-Terrorism Service announced that a drone was shot down near Erbil International Airport in northern Iraq.
It’s whatever I tell you it is! If you want to be anti-authoritarian, you better get in line!
I guess it’s a question of how much hassle it’s worth. I did a messy data recovery of a crashed database for a work client once, but it involved a lot of trial and error and writing special purpose code, plus considerable luck that some things worked better than I had a right to expect. Cost of something like that would be in the multi kilobucks, maybe low 5 figures. We got almost all the data back, though not 100%.
Maybe just put that HDD aside and replace it with a new one, and deal slowly with recovering the data as you get the time to mess with it. Also don’t do any write operations on the old drive. Maybe copy it entirely to someplace and work on the copy. In fact better do that anyway, HD’s physically crash all the time.
Gristedes is an expensive yuppie supermarket chain like Whole Foods, in some rich areas. I don’t think they have to worry about some city-run stores in underserved neighborhoods. It’s just pouting.
Look for a high SEER, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_energy_efficiency_ratio
Window AC can be much cheaper to operate than central even if the window unit is less efficient, since it’s cooling just one room instead of the whole house.
Where I am, we’ve had some quite hot days (100 degrees but not much above that so far) and I haven’t had to use the AC yet, because it’s still pretty cool out at night and the house stays cool enough during the day. That might change if it starts getting hot at night.
You dream every night, everyone does. You just don’t remember the dreams on waking.
IDK about windows to the subconscious but if I have an interesting or recurring dream, sometimes I try to interpret it, and have gotten some things out of doing that.
Maybe there is some gadget that can detect when you are dreaming. You wouldn’t want to have it wake you automatically on a regular basis (disrupting sleep isn’t always avoidable, but it isn’t good). But you could try it once or twice and see if you remember the dream then.
Dreaming is also called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, because people’s eyeballs jerk around during that sleep phase. Usually the jerking is pretty random. Once during a sleep study, a guy’s REM suddenly changed to very rhythmic, repeated side to side movements. That was weird enough that the researcher woke him and asked him what he had been dreaming about. The answer: playing ping pong. The eye movements had tracked the ball going back and forth.
Phone or small tablet with a wireless keyboard.
My machines are old enough to not have that, so no. But, there are a lot of tpm implementations and I don’t think they are backdoored in general. I know of some industry projects to use them in data centers. Otoh they often have vulnerabilities.
If I wanted a hardware token I’d use a dedicated one but that’s just me.
Wireshark?
