a noisy room in a hospital and all you can hear is the deafening sound of your child’s final gasp for air. and then, nothing.

I would rather be flayed for eternity in hell than experience that.

it was 22,000 ft/minute which is around 367ft/second. at 22,000ft high they traveled 250mph until the they crashed.

the whole plane is there.

the problem was ice on the wings. they had remarked that they had icing on the wings at -42° and turned on the heaters. then they ran into some precipitation, which froze on the wings. they attempted to climb to 22kft but lost control.

it’s likely that had they climbed higher sooner, they would have made it.

we all laugh now, but when Trumpo learns that in 1933 Executive Order 6102 was signed to confiscate all gold from Americans he’s going to do it to RAM.

all my dreams are nightmares that usually incorporate three of the following:

• military enlistment
• zombies
• brutal killing of family members
• violent attacks from family members
• long timespans (once lived in a dream for 80 years)
• time travel - forward and backward
• getting arms, legs, and torso ripped off while alive and awake enough to experience the horrors
• helplessly watching my children die in horrific ways
• witnessing the apocalypse first hand

there’s probably more, but my brain is blocking them.

getting Skeletor vibes.

How Unpleasant It Is To See You, You Sniveling Coward!

Ubuntu is notoriously finicky as a server. multiple issues with how system configuration is different from other servers like Debian, redhat, etc. firewall used to be an absolute terror. also, as described, your patch levels are tailored to the whims of a corporate entity that historically has sided with desktop stability and experience over server stability and performance.

while we’re at it, canonical captures and sells system information like Microsoft does. by using Ubuntu, you become the product. IDK how much you know about companies that sell their consumers data, but typically they put profits over security.

I’ve worked for a handful of MSP/CSP vendors over the years and they only offer Ubuntu as a server option with one big caveat. you are responsible for the maintenance of the system. lo and behold, four years later they always come crying about how they’re about to fail an audit because it’s never been updated, or is misconfigured, or was hacked because they installed a bad library, ad nauseam.

from my own experience using it, though aged, it came with a service that was listening on port 3306. was it mysql? nope. what was it? dunno. I killed everything on that system that wasn’t required by the kernel. still listening. couldn’t install a database on it, so it was wiped and I never used it again.

simply put, Ubuntu is a desktop first OS. if you use it as a server you’re going to have a bad time because statistically speaking only amateurs use it that way.

if you run Ubuntu as a server nobody should take you seriously.

Debian literally exists as a server first while Ubuntu exists as desktop first.

the only valid excuse to using Ubuntu server is if your hardware is a RPI or rpi-clone and at that point you’re at a hobbyist level which makes more sense why you’d be using Ubuntu at all.

hello muddah.

hello faddah.

SPs have hinges and don’t fair well with children. also, the handheld format is smaller so it’s slightly more difficult for children to hold onto.

finally, I had a crusty advanced from goodwill I had bought for around $3 that was the base.

you don’t have to follow the law. you just have to not get caught.

break the law enough and you can break bigger laws without getting caught.

break enough bigger laws and you can just buy or threaten yourself out of jail.

laws, like door locks, keep the honest honest.

why aren’t people outraged in general?

they’re overwhelmed and discouraged because their outrage to previous things did nothing to solve the problem.

outrage is like gunpowder without a shell casing.

too late.

“this the worst Walmart ever.”

I did one a few years ago. the total kit was around $200. this included the screen, some solder kit to modify brightness, and a new front screen glass.

I also took the opportunity to upgrade the case and li-ion battery.

all for a Christmas present for my kids that they never play…
