What I’d like to know is how the hell do they manage corrosion in all that salty air? Sure, the op centre is probably filtered and air-conditioned, but if there’s one thing about marine environments, salt corrosion will happen, and you can’t put 30 coats of paint on a floppy drive’s components.
I was system operator for an IBM System/36 in the mid-late 1980s and that thing used two 10-slot magazines of 8" floppies for backup.
It was replaced in 1989 with an AS400 that used half-inch tape.
And that backup solution was replaced with an LTO library.
This will please Rachel Riley no end. I expect her messages of support and congratulations any moment now.
Any moment…
The Australian federal election senate ballot paper would like a word. Senators are popularly elected in Australia. You’re thinking of the UK, where the “upper house” AKA “House of Lords” are appointed. And until recently, some of the positions were hereditary. If you were the first son of “Lord Blatherskate”, you would become Lord upon his death, and proceed to occupy his seat in the House of Lords.
Didn’t someone get Debian running on a Talos II workstation?
Granted, that’s tinkering, but getting Debian to a workable state.
Gee, it’s lucky they didn’t start requiring an account for personal use… Oh, wait.
Same in Australia. The libnats (right-leaning) broke the fibre-optic rollout by claiming it would be too expensive, and replaced it in non-metro areas with wireless, claiming 25Mbps was adequate. They didn’t mention that slow internet would benefit the Murdoch -owned Foxtel satellite services. And here we are now with internet services worse than some poorer countries.
I chose Starlink because I will never get fibre optic, my only broadband option is geo-synch satellite, with speed and data caps, and 600ms latency.
Underfloor heating is great. Underfloor cooling without some form of dehydration will lead to condensation, moisture, and mould.
Branagh’s Henry V
Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing - it’s just a bit of fun, much like the play.
I said “ignite your balls”, it’s got nothing to do with safety.
It’s true. But a v-twin motorcycle like a Ducati or Moto Guzzi ignites your balls like no electric motor can.
Firefox on my raspberry pi grinds the thing to a halt, so I created a shortcut:
systemd-run --scope -p MemoryLimit=500M -p CPUQuota=50% firefox-esr
You say it doesn’t top out on memory, so you don’t need the -p MemoryLimit=500M parameter. Set your compiler CPUQuota to maybe 80%, or whatever you can work out with trial and error.
A pint of guinness.
“canceling annual plans could trigger fees amounting to 50 percent of their remaining subscription cost” You cannot unilaterally change the T&Cs without an option to opt out of the new conditions, but still insist on the old T&C terms. WTF is wrong with Adobe, are they stupid?
This is not a new concept. That was a plot line in an episode of an obscure British dystopian-future tv series called “1990” starring Edward Woodward - made in the late 1970s. The general premise was that the public service bureaucracy had taken over and lives were lived according to a great deal of surveillance and oversight.
Prisoners had the “option” of misery pills to shorten their sentences. Designed to reduce the prison population by getting prisoners through their sentences faster.
Quite an interesting show IIRC - I haven’t managed to find it while out sailing.
I really enjoyed various communities on usenet. But most of my favouites moved to FB and usenet is now a cesspit of spam. I learned a hell of lot from alt.solar.pv and alt.energy.renewable, and made some great connections via aus.motorcycles. But I wouldn’t bother going there today, even in one of the few remaining feeds.
And JPEG2000 is what’s used in Digital Cinema Package (DCP) - that’s the file format used to distribute feature films. That’s not going away soon.
