I'm sure the so-called "DOGE" only helped solve that problem...

Large houses in hot climates don't have enough roof space to accommodate the number of panels you would need to displace grid power. Using obsolete panels that generated less power when they were new is only going to make the problem worse.

Leaning into unreliable power sources when demand is increasing is just going to make any supply issues worse.

Someone posted what they pay for electricity in California and what their buy back rate is and their rates are insane.

One obnoxious way to get the older version is to install an older LTS of Mint into a virtual machine and then go manually get all the bits that are Thunderbird and copy them to your new system. The hard part is making sure you have all the bits, but I don't remember how I did that.

Unfortunately, the Mint installation essentially copies a complete installation to your system, so there are no .debs of the installed packages. But I've wondered if some other distribution might install all the applications from .deb or .rpm files.

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

OpenSSH is the best known OpenBSD project, but they also makes pf (used in pfSense, OPNSense, etc.), OpenBGP, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenIKED, LibreSSL, etc.

Came for this comment.

This is actually a topic in Asimov's Foundation sequels. There's a galactic-standard hour, day, and year, and every plant maps their rotational and revolutional patterns to that. A main plot point was trying to find THE planet that had true 24 hour days and 364.25 day years, since that might have been the birthplace of humanity.

I use Brave too and am frustrated by that... I put an extension that exports my history periodically, so at least I'll still have it. History Trends Unlimited.

I wish they could make it a configurable option to turn off the trunctation.

While we're fixing history problems with Chrome, why not make it stop truncating history at 90 days. Many things in life happen on a yearly cycle. It would be great to be able to see things I was looking at a year ago (holiday gifts, items for a class I'm planning, etc.) as I'm looking for things this year. What a stupid policy.

If you don't understand the math behind unsecured debt, you shouldn't call yourself a nerd.

The key bit of financial ignorance here is not understanding that credit cards are unsecured loans.

Other forms of credit have lower interest rates because the risk of default is mitigated by the ability to seize and sell an asset used to guarantee.

Being unable to pay your bills on time (or at all) increases how much you pay for all forms of credit.

Been there and done that. The spouse was once saddled with an EV as a rental because all the regular cars were already taken.

The experience was so horrible that there is zero chance of us ever getting an EV.

You can probably find the space to hang a 85" TV even if you have an apartment the size of a shoe box.
