Mx25 Infinity on my 2008 hp G62 laptop. (Whoops, using xfce with gnome fork). Acting as a kodi server.

antiX26 on my i7 laptop. zzzICE wm. Daily driver.

PIOS on my pi3b. Xfce, jellyfin server.

All idle at less than 800mb. The jellyfin server doesn't have to do transcoding, serves up three streams at a time.

The kodi box is also the backup dev box, but with 8G of ram, I've never seen it at 50 percent.

The i7 is new as of 2 months ago. It's just shit fast compared to my usual. I'm still trying to catch up.

All of these Debian OS derivatives/compatibles I have run successfully and usefully from a 4G thumb drive.

I also ran Mx23.1 (wildflower) on the pi3b for about 8 months. Used it as my first kodi server. Functioned adequately if not spectacularly, and this is on 1G.

All run firefox as the default I believe.

Low memory options are out there and fun to use.

Yep.

Scanning down the comments -

Nope. They missed it.

So I don't play that type of game. Has anyone here played those, and had the gambling feeling over these loot boxes? The summary is rather damning, but I'd like the opinion of an adult gamer.

Seems to me I read about this in Atlas Shrugged.

Can it take out a building yet?
What kind of input device does it use (Keyboard, xylophone) ?
Man portable?/Vehicle mount?

So many unanswered questions ...

Wow.

20 fucking hours and only two (three now) comments on a straight science article, but political bullshit has you fucking 'nerds' lining up.

Where are the people who could hve recited all 274 objects? Where are the people who can tell me everything I could possibly want to know about Saturn, had hands on experience with the observational and telemetry hardware, worked with the information gathering systems.

Have you all died, or just went away. Seriously, I would like to know. There has to be at least one of you around here still....

Right?

I once knew a guy who had pi memorized to 500 places. Honestly, thinking about it, I'm no longer sure if he had any other useful talent.

And it was useful. He could pick any spot in the series, run it front to back, back to front, every other number, whatever he wanted, and with math you can do in you head or with a pencil and paper, make something cryptography secure, or at least very inconvenient to solve without using the rubber hose method, and we even solved that more than 30 years ago.

I hope you all come back some day. I miss you.

(Posted as someone who forgot his first two slash logins, used to have sacmog, and then one other I forgot in a ... 151 soaked evening... before this, and still have kronickoff so I can bitch if they manage to kill this account.)

But in all seriousness, is this just another symptom of my git off my lawn syndrome, got to grow the beard to show I'm here or what?

Or are memories all I'll ever have?

Pardon me.

Murder for financial gain.

I'm pretty sure murder for hire should be close to the top.

Oh yeah. These were just communication satellites. Easily measured wattage.

This guy wants to fuck with sunlight.

I always love read about people who have a new way to control the sun.

They're a firmly documented and shining part of history. Every single one of their success just shine out.

DAMN.

Thank you.

That was the trigger I needed. Been trying to remember for a year or more.

The Complete Venus Equilateral.

Gotta go get it now, but it seems to be more relevant on many levels .....

Let us see, from memory:

Destruction if the beam to Earth wanders even a fraction off target ... Check.

Inter[solar,planetary,..cene] competition and screwing the consumers for every penny...Check.

Multiple litigious attacks by the bad guy...Check.

Basic replication and transporter technology (via Star Trek definitions)...Check.

Attempt to legally block above technology for monetary gain....Check.

Oh yeah, bad guy dies riding the legal award to the death, with no accomplishment. But he can't give it up. Legally...Check.

And if I haven't pissed off enough people by now, I'm going to hunt down one of these AI gurus and ask them to correlate Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged with current politics.

In my opinion, the first prompt would be something like:
How many government officials, from local to national, in the last 10 years have used the:

"I didn't know. I quit. You can't blame me." [Fucking retards.]

Now I'm going to have another shot of [tequila, rum gives me gas from the sugar] and go sail the seas.

Argargarg.

Wow.

From my ancient 64 years old what I see, and why I quit watching, are all the 'new' writers are constantly redoing all the 'old' writers stuff because no one I know likes their new shit.

And they horribly mangle the old stuff to fit their more -something- view they are entitled to through creative license.

What they started with was considered classic in many cases, what they delivered was shit.

Hint: It's not the old writing that's the problem.

How dare you leave Idaho off that list.

WE ARE EVERYTHING SPUD!

Grandma farts in your general direction.

Having read all comments at this point, and finding no mention of one point I think might be important; then reading TFA, and there is still no mention: Who is launching all these satellites?

It's not just powerbanks that have unnecessary features. Chargers are affected too: the new Anker Nano 45W (A121D) doesn't support AVS, and PPS is limited up to 16V (not 20, what most laptops want). But it has a smart interactive display... you could argue that the old version is better.

Because maybe, uhmmm - I don't know, ummm, oh yeah.

They don't make as much money as he does.

Hobbies are fine, but they seldomly pay the bills as well as one would like.

Kill him dead
Smash his head
Stomp him till
He turns bright red

With a snap
And a crunch
And a solid meaty thud
Let's see some purple dino blood!

Apologies to the owner. Not myself.
