I am currently building a server, I have five things left to get before I can use it, two 8TB HDDs, two 2TB SSDs and a SATA controller card.

I bought RAM for ut this summer a 2x 16GB Kingston kit, that kit has increased in cost by 1000SEK, insane…

You don’t understand, they are not in the top three in the highscore list!

I remember back in 2014 or so, I found a YT channel about companies an tech with very high production values on their videos, they had several videos on Elon and his companies.

And in just about every time they spoke about Elon, they said it like this

Entrepreneur Elon Musk

It kinda became a weird mantra they repeated as if being an Entrepreneur made him some kind of expert.

I noticed that at the time, and it has pissed me off since.

This is correct, as I am looking at the situation right now, I don’t see a realistic way for Ukraine to kick out Russia from their land completely, unless something big happens, I believe we are looking forward to a negotiated peace.

As a Swede, who gladly supports all aid packages with supplies, weapons and materiel we send, I wan’t nothing more than for Ukraine to kick Russia to the curb, but I don’t see that happening.

I’d rather prepare for a bad negotiated peace, if ever so short, and be surprised by Ukraine succeeding, than the opposite.

I fully agree, but we are talking about two different things.

I said that currently I don’t see an end to the war that doesn’t include Ukraine having to give up land.

That is all that I said, I actually forgot to add what I wrote in a comment a few days back, where I said that any agreement where Ukraine looses land is bound to lead to a new conflict relatively shortly thereafter.

My earlier comment specifically called out that Ukraine loosing land is unfair.

I truly wish that Ukraine can muster the strength to kick Russia out baldy enough that Russia learn their lesson.

I am a Swede and I smile every time we give more aid, weapons and other related materiels to Ukraine, I gladly pay my taxes for this.

At the same time, if I try to look realistically at the conflict, at this point in time I don’t see Ukraine kicking Russia out, it looks more and more as the end of the current conflict will come in the form of a negotiated peace, if only for a relatively short time.

I commented about this yesterday.

I currently don’t see Ukraine getting out of the war with her borders intact, as it stands now I don’t see a way for Ukraine to retake Crimea, I also doubt that Donbas will fully be liberated again.

As long as there is no restriction put on the size and capability of Ukraine’s military forces in the eventual peace treaty, it should be treated as a win.

This is not fair, it is war.

Yeah, this seems very odd…

He just wanted to install NetBSD on it…

Ah interesting!

That explains why I don’t see it!

I see you took the screenshot on your phone, I just tried it on mine and had no issues getting the proper link, even after updating it as I wrote this comment.

Can you describe more about where you encountered it?

Does this happen when you copypaste the URL?

Because messing with the clipboard is a really scary thing.

ME was a freak of software development, not an outright sadistic experience.

Eh, Vista itself wasn’t that bad, the issues stemmed from both marketing way to low quality devices as compatible, and developers getting used to UAC.

Also, Vista did not have the shitty new settings app.

Ever since Windows 10, Microsoft has shown to be a sadist.

Anyone claiming that the US Democrates is radical left should be declared incompetent and be relieved of any position of authority.

Thanks, fixed!

Honestly, the US entire election system needs to be ripped out, getting rid of first past the post should be seen as a national emergency.

That would in an instant get rid of Gerrymandering, and open the way for new parties that actually has a chance to get a say.

Now, obviously neither the Dems nor the GOP is in any way interested in that, so it might take a full collapse of the current system for this to happen.

Sadly both current parties in the US are way to the right of a proper political compass, so both will fight proportional representation and getting rid of the EC…

Like everything in life, most dangers is a matter of quantity.

Listening to music with headphones is a fantastic way to enjoy music, as long as you are reasonable, it is fine to listen to music loud enough to drown out other sounds for periods.

Back in 2022, I got double flat feet, double heel spurs and a bad knee at the same time, walking was agony at the end of the day, so when I had to walk home from the bus stop, I put on some quite loud Sabaton in my headphones, used that to gather strength to move, usually ending up crying hard as I dragged myself up the path to my apartment building.

I still hear ok, sure, I have a bit of bad hearing, but that was something I had found out a decade before.

You won’t go deaf just by listening to music in headphones, they are an important tool in several sectors, especially in music, every live performance artist is wearing in ear monitors these days, they are special headphones that allow the artist to not only hear the other performers and instruments, but also protect their hearing from the extremely loud speakers and crowds at a live event.

Then you have the people working post production, they all wear headphones all day, you have radio DJs, they also wear headphones all day, pilots, air traffic controllers, police, security guards, and similar professions also often wear head phones constantly.

What you are being told about headphones is just fearmongering, but built on a small kernel of truth, loud sounds can and will damage your ears, but that goes for all loud noise, not just headphones.

Water purification is a big problem, however water does not need to be treated to fulfill the standards for normal drinking water here, boiling collected rain water should be plenty good enough at the start.

Further up in the mountain we have soo many freshwater springs that most hikers don’t pack water as it is just dead weight.

Down here by the coast, fresh water springs does exist, but are way fewer.

That is the technical reason.

There are plenty of reasons for people to decide to not vote in the election.

• Ever since 2016, the Democrats seem to have run mostly on a plattform of keeping the status quo, Obama ran on “Change”, and managed to change healthcare for the masses with Obamacare. What was the main point in the Democrat campaign in the last election, to an outsider, the answer seems to be “we are not Trump”, which while true, is not interesting or engaging.
• Kamalas stance on Israel/Gaza, this is a stupid reason not to vote, but an important point, it also ties in with the previous point of that the Democrats didn’t seem to have any idea of what direction they would go if they were elected, other than “steady as she goes”.

Had the Democrats found and picked a course with a clear message to of what they were going to do when they won, and dropped the “steady as she goes” attitude, they may have won.
