Omg… You would have to verify every single VM. Would docker images count or not? Might be enough to push me to properly work out how to use that instead of VMs…

A quarter? Is that it?

And what about all the operating systems that already exist and are no longer maintained? Who is responsible for that. Microslop gotta update Win95 to add age verification?

I just go back further and pick older traditions that fit with my world view.

Yeah, bit late to be planting garlic now. My chives are almost ready for their first harvest of the year and my rosemary could probably do with cutting back a bit but I need some recipes to use it up. This is in the UK anyway.

I have a regular bike because it is even cheaper to run than an ebike. What distro should we use?

Untaxed, unregistered, unlicensed, uninsured. Do all the maintenance myself.

People live in vans. But in the UK I am not aware of any legal option for buying a cheap patch of land and living on it in a temporary structure - you are allowed the structure, but can’t live in it.

But we do live under capitalism. Whether we like it or not.

Result: loads of labourers lose employment, the rich take land from the commoners.

Problem with this is when do I get a battery for my house? Do I get one now or do I wait for a better one. Should see how much they cost to install and how much I really need, could cut my energy bills between 1/3 and 1/2 depending on capacity and charge frequency with different tariff options.

Really the grid should be buying them and use that to bring me the same savings as per kWh it is cheaper to buy a warehouse full of batteries than it is to stick a small box in every house. But they are not doing that. Suppose they can just not do it and let consumers take the risk instead.

If printers didn’t suck I may consider using them by choice. Does also depend on cost per page, which I suppose varies by what you print.

If I wanted a web UI I would just make a script that ran yt-dlp $1 and then use php shell_exec(script URL);

Acceptable if you are not fox hunting.

The best way to explore nature is through man powered means. Walking, cycling, kayaking, swimming.

Use VMs. Depending on their setup/requirements depends on which OS can be in the VM.

Watch the video - it isn’t.

You guys still use coal? Fucking hell…

Not finished it yet but it annoys me so much that for some reason it is VASTLY cheaper for me to buy a briefcase or two full of batteries for my house than it is for the same to be done in bulk at the scale of the grid.

Just batteries would cut my energy costs to about a third of their current rate by charging them at cheaper off peak prices. Isn’t it insane that this is a feature of the current energy market?

“New study shows it’s longer than you think!” seems like an odd phrase, did they study how long I think?

Not a chance. Someone else can easily, but I wouldn’t be able to resist.
