This is amazing

I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A COMIC.

Well, now to go find it…

And many of those who haven’t been in the military but want to be cops fetishize the military, and then go get tattoos like the veterans they wish they were.

Ideally? I’d say something with support for 2 drives, mirrored.

Without a price to define “not crazy expensive”, I’d say take a look at QNAP and Synology 2-bay devices, pick what fits the price range. I’d put it on the network and mount it on the PCs you want to as a drive to drop things in.

Then I’d add one more thing - 3-2-1 for anything critical.

• Three copies of all critical data should be made on a regular basis. Original data + at least two backups
• Two different storage types should be used to store the data to minimize the chance of failure.
• One offsite location. Could be an encrypted copy of a backup on cloud storage, could be a drive at another home.

How critical data is would be up to you and your parents, I just want to note that a single backup at your home is not going to be helpful if there is flooding or a fire or whatever that would damage both the originals and the backup device.

Video playback of local media server (jellyfin), gaming (emulators mostly, and some old games), kids games (gcompris), podcast and audiobook playback (audiobookshelf).

Thats what runs on mine at least.

Sure thing bud.

Now back to the actual topic…

I meant its branding, not Amazon owned, I should clear that up though it is misleading as written.

I was answering forking and how realistic it is. You’re changing the conversation into specifics around chrome.

As I mentioned, this would be (not is, because its not even at a GA state) drastically simpler to fork, and there are many forks of a substantially more complicated browser already.

Iridium, cromite, edge, brave, thorium, vivaldi, pale moon…

And this is a drastically simpler browser that would be in swift 6.

(Pedantry incoming)

Paperwhite is actually Amazon branding. E-Ink is a brand as well, owned by the E Ink Corporation. The generic name would be electronic paper or e-paper.

Edit: Clarity.

Thats google though, with the added ability to put it direct into an extremely common OS (Android). With ladybird, you’ve got an apparent neocon and 3 years currently planned for a GA release (2028). Its future is already pretty uncertain regardless of sponsorship.

So when they do just fork it?

I likely won’t touch it anyway, but it is fully open source, so it can be forked easily. With the transition to Swift I suspect there would be plenty of devs who could take things forward if they wanted to.

Sorry which are we talking about the rejected the PR, DHH or kling?

I suspect its DHH just making sure

Edit: Found it

Kling rejected with: “This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.”

For SerenityOS documentation to use a singular they to not assume gender.

Edit 2: For the record, this is even more stupid than you think. The documentation was written with gendered language for a male reader only in mind.

“Hey, I fixed your bad writing”

“POLITICS?!1?!%?!”

The tweet about Kirk has some firm context with this. I’d call it pretty dang likely that kling is a fan…

Its sponsorship only of an open source browser, with no telemetry, advertising, crypto, etc, etc built in.

Sponsors get listed as sponsors, thats it.

For my lab its testing ideas. More often than not, it involved hardware outside the server. Cloud hosted is not an option for that, or playing with a variety of distributions, testing applications, etc.

I wouldn’t have “noticed” it anyway, but hey - bonus cat enjoyment

The trouble is, once the parent company starts merging some departments, shareholders often push to merge more departments.

Especially since they are talking about all the money they will save cutting jobs.

Based on the time frames for this, I’m going to guess by the end of 2026 the engineering team will shrink, followed by a 2027 announcement of merging departments for better management, and RedHat basically be just IBM entirely by 2028.

If I still had any servers on RH for work, I’d be planning my moves right about now (personally I started the shift after the 2023 announcement on source code availability, finalized the last three servers in June actually).

Really quite a shame to see how things have changed.

Anyway, I’d suspect there are at least a couple years left before its a mess.

Whoops! Brain no worky.

Fixed, thanks!

Legal, hr, finance, and accounting is now IBM, and IBM has noted job cuts as part of the cost savings in its profit forecasting.

Engineering, product, sales, and marketing are not making any changes - yet.

I would note that IBM is also now pushing its “enhanced AI” support over speaking with actual people, unless you have an upgraded support tier. Basic support tier can also no longer escalate cases.

I would agree in not needing to rush anywhere, but I would have to say this looks like the start of enshittification for sure.
