Open terminal on BBC micro to mainframe in university campus, ftp to ftp.funet.fi, patiently wait for 6 hours while a single jpeg of (hopefully!) Cindy Crawford in her skivvies downloads to mainframe. Then download using zmodem for another hour to local computer. Save on floppy, back to dorm room, to find out it’s corrupted. 😂👍
Heh. My reading 1996 ticket was less that £50. I can’t remember exactly now, but it wasn’t super expensive. Saw the last? live performance of the stone roses after their brief reunion. Also saw the weddos that day, by far the most fun. The smosh pit for it was amazing.
Knebworth was kinda legendary in the 70s and 80s, lots of huge bands did a “festival” there on occasion. And yeah, 1996 Oasis was by far their tiptop peak. Weirdly I actually saw Oasis once before, they were touring small(ish) pub venues a few weeks before cigarettes and alcohol was released, at the Cambridge boat race. Quite the show. They played a bunch of songs that’d be on definitely maybe.
Hopefully there’s a useful website under the ad spam. I need to install an ad blocker on this mobile Lemmy app 🤔
I paid £22.50 for my Knebworth ticket to see Oasis in 1996. Beer was expensive but the lines were so long that two or three was all that was feasible. Instead I got stoned off my face and zoned out on a little hill behind the vip area. It was amazing but I was so smashed that my memory is fuzzy. Ah well. My sister just paid over £1000 for four tickets to oasis. I think I got a rather better deal than her.
So I should include the 4 Saturdays I worked as a 6’2 tall Kid Vid (the short lived burger king mascot) in 1993 in Crawley Town centre (and scared a lot of kids because I was WAY TOO TALL - the costume was designed for a 5’4 girl), because it’s relevant experience to my 30 year career in it consultancy. Gotcha
But the CEO’s third luxury yacht? What about that?
Probably some sort of trolling effort sadly. Like an as yet unaired bit for a tv show.
And this is the fifth line of four…
I’ll bet the Intel management engine is just as “vulnerable”. The only context this is likely a concern is large scale corpo deployments, without verified supply chains to the source. Love how the security researcher handwaves that there’s “plenty of existing exploits” that can be used to install the exploit into the SMM, without giving any suggestions of how.
Fair enough. But the fact I can’t even use it to connect to my homelab proxmox cluster kinda has to be a dealbreaker for me. Even a trial period to allow me to try and experience everything would be sufficient in my opinion. On the fuzzy thing, I’m using gnome desktop, with latest gnome shell in debian sid, on an Nvidia 20280 using the proprietary driver (latest in debian experimental). It’s connected to three 2k/1440p monitors running at 144/60/60hz. If that helps at all. The tooltips are most notably fuzzy. It looks like it’s being antialiased multiple times or something?
Locking basic homelab functions behind a $50/year license means it is purged. Sad, because it had potential, though it suffers from a weird text scaling issue that means everything is just very slightly blurry.
Check your power. I’ve had about 50 led bulbs for about 7 or more years. Only the ones in the bathroom failed because they were cheap and not rated for use in a wet and humid environment. Their replacements are coming up on 4 years old now and no signs of trouble. None of the bulbs were particularly expensive when I bought them.
30s are rookie numbers. I’m 52 and still game regularly. I started out playing pong clones in about 1975 hooked up to my tv. I played a lot of zx spectrum games in the 80s, failed my degree in the early 90s because I spent far far far too long playing civ1 on my Amiga. Etc etc.
I honestly hope they don’t do another dumb Linux challenge. Linus and Luke both have pre-prepared excuses why a conversion to Linux will fail, for them personally. Stuff like “we can’t run Photoshop” level shit. Dumb “no shit Sherlock” type nonsense.
That means they won’t actually try, they’ll just “do it for the content” and give up again after a month or whatever. The videos will be well done but will ultimately conclude that “Linux still isn’t ready for us” and they’ll leave a bitter taste in any real Linux user’s mouth, because their excuses will be pathetic and the efforts put in will be demonstrably minimal.
I’ve seen a few people who run proxmox on the bare metal with k8s running inside VMs, or containers, inside proxmox. I’m not sure if I should just go full bare metal k8s or have the proxmox (or other?) intermediate layer…
Not seen that one before, but I’m familiar with the concept. I’m working on something for myself that’ll go into our will prep when we finally get around to it.
Sounds like he’s well qualified to be the first king of the USA. He’s got everything. A ridiculous family tree, he’s loony, he’s corrupt, he’s bankrupt. All hail king Trump the first!
King Donald the first of America
