Might be a bit premature. I’m gonna hold off until someone whose brain isn’t a pile of mush and who isn’t a pathological liar confirms it.

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

By Grabthar’s Hammer, what a bargain.

That’s basically what EFI booting does.

Initramfs’s main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It’s also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.

Very good. I’ve seen too many random Google Forms going around just harvesting emails / info to plug my details into any that I don’t click into from a legit/verified site. Not that I’m accusing OP of that, just that I don’t know where they got that form link.

Is that an official Google form and/or who am I providing my (required) email address to?

Is there an official Google page that links to this? Sorry but anyone can share a Google form.

I like how I was courageous enough to not fix the actual typos/failed commands in the actual history lol.

Pretty much, yeah.

Rather than jot down in a text file the various ffmpeg commands I use frequently…

Ah, okay. Mine’s direct drive so probably doesn’t need that.

What does that actually do/address?

I’ve not had any issues without it on my E3v3

• Does it have USB-C video out?
• Do you plan to run any custom ROMs / Can it run custom ROMs?

Yeah, for sure. I tend to use WebDAV with that to connect to my Nextcloud more than the actual Nextcloud app. Works great.

Assuming you mean SSH for file transfer? Material Files supports SFTP, and I use it to connect via SSH to my machines to transfer files.

I understand why, but I still hate it. Thankfully there’s Grand Theft Focus

Damn Small Linux (Knoppix-based) which was the gateway drug to Fedora Core 4 on an old Pentium III that was lying arouind.

Which is more horrifying? Kerneld or PulseLinux?

As long as Lennart Poettering isn’t anywhere near the line of succession lol.

I hope SNL can talk John Goodman into playing her (à la Linda Tripp).

I quit smoking over a decade ago, but if I had the opportunity to light a cigarette from the Olympic torch…I’d take it. Probably also use that cigarette to light the pilot lights on my water heater and then all my showers would be heated by the Olympic flame (technically speaking).
