  • I wish I could stay asleep for 8 consecutive hours, or even go back to sleep after waking up at hour 6 without feeling like shit the rest of the day. Some of my most restorative sleeping has been 4 hours or a 30 minute nap. Sleeping more than 30 minutes and less than 4? Straight to sleepy jail. More than 4 hours, but a little less than six? Sleepy jail. More than 8 hours? Probably dead, definitely at least sleepy jail where nothing productive happens.


  • That’s not what the articles says or implies at all. The article only refers to another article with a click bait headline. The article article summarizes Canonical stance like this:

    • Canonical will add AI to Ubuntu — but only cautiously and when it truly makes sense.
    • AI features must be mature, open-source, and run locally when possible.
    • Focus AI on accessibility (speech-to-text, TTS) and improvements, not turning Ubuntu into an ‘AI product’.

    And to be clear, including a tool or default workflow is MILES away from patronizingly forcing it on to users. It’s just the way that most distros that aren’t Linux From Scratch work.


  • The idea is to have the server safely shutdown BEFORE it loses power, so that BIOS setting wouldn’t mean anything. The server does not loose power while it it running, so it will never “restore last state after AC loss”. The idea is that you can run a low power device (the raspberry pi) for which you don’t care if power is cut abruptly and that can talk to both the UPS and the wake-on-lan of the server directly over ethernet. It being local means those WOL are much more likely to work than trying to send them from outside your network when you’re remote. It’s a lot simpler to set this up once than it is to recover a server with a corrupted file system due to power loss or lose access to your server for weeks because a thunderstorm knocked out power for 30min at the beginning of a long trip. That pi can also take care of other always on services like a pi-hole, home assistant, etc.






  • Top 10 most dangerous jobs in the U.S. according to Forbes:

    1. Logging Workers
    2. Fishing and Hunting Workers
    3. Roofers

    7. Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors
    8. Underground Mining Machine Operators
    9. Construction Trade Workers
    10. Electrical Power-line Installers and Repairers

    I’m know I’m preaching to the choir here, but it’s good info to be familiar with when some knuckle dragging MAGA hat pretends to be patriotic.

    Notice that law enforcement overseers and military are not on this list. Moreover, LEOs often get paid MUCH better than many of the people employed at some of the jobs listed above. It’s also a pretty safe bet these days that if an American police officer is in a dangerous situation, they are the danger. I’m all for respecting people that choose dangerous careers, but police and veterans are not heros for making that choice any more than any of the others on this list.

    OSHA has a similar list, no police either.

    USA Today has a top 25 list, still no police.

    Also notice that,







  • Why immediately shame the guys choosing the unicorn as the weird guys? And add in a little homophobia to boot? That is exactly the problem with defining gender stereotypes based on sex at birth. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a boy wanting to dig a terrifying and deadly fae creature with a fucking sword on its face from the heart of a dead giant. There is also nothing wrong with a boy wanting to dig a majestic pony from out of a pink heart shaped cocoon.

    You’re the one perverting this into something about grown men having fantasies about fucking horses. We all know bronies exist and their tastes may not be for everyone, but that’s a poor excuse for this brand of cringe hate mongering.
