Circulator eggs never made a whole lot of sense,
They make a great deal of sense in professional kitchens. If you're expecting to do hundreds of brunch covers, or a giant breakfast buffet, poaching eggs sous vide ahead of time is a game changer
A big conversation I see now days is what’s “wrong” with the modern nba, with too many 3’s being the most common refrain. That’s silly. I will tell you what’s actually wrong about the nba. They’re playing the most amazing basketball the worlds ever seen, but the entertainment ecosystem around them hasn’t changed at all. Literally they just talk about the stupidest stuff, like who’s the GOAT, instead of actually educating their audiences about the incredible level of play that exists now days.
100% agree on this. NBA coverage, especially on ESPN is garbage. Not to mention how expensive it is to (legally) watch the NBA. If they actually had better coverage explaining different facets of the game, and analyzing it, maybe people would appreciate what they're seeing more.
It certainly does to me....Firefox and ublock origin makes using the modern web easier. Anytime I use some other combination (at work, or someone else's device) I can't stand most websites.
I know there are problems around Mozilla the org, or the how firefox is funded, but I hope it's not going anywhere.
and I still have a an original iPad Air first gen.....still works for basic things. Unsupported by apple now, but still usable.
It's proving to be a good release so far. Hopefully they get more support in the form of manpower and cash. Looking forward to NetBSD and the increasing popularity of ARM in the future.
NetBSD is great because: can support lots of hardware; minimal but featureful; secure; pkgsrc; friendly community;
It's like a good middle ground between Free and OpenBSD. Anyone into "minimal" linux distros might get a kick out of it.
Anyone interested should check out https://www.unitedbsd.com/ It's a bsd forum with a good number of netbsd users and a couple of developers as well.
probably best asked on a mailing list. But NetBSD is really community/volunteer driven, so someone with an itch to scratch will have to take it on
I will say I like this more than your review of netbsd 9 ;)
Maybe try it in a VM, or use second hand thinkpads or similar supported hardware.
Looking forward to NetBSD 10.0 review on the register :D
Me too!
Try one in a VM first. Get used to the different pkg management in whichever BSD you use vs. the linux distro you're used to using. NetBSD uses pkgsrc, which is pretty straightforward to use.
No systemD.
If you're using it as a desktop, it will take a little more time to config things to fit what you need. More command line editing of config files, than say Linux Mint or similar linux distros.
FreeBSD has the biggest community so it's easier to get help online.
That being said, NetBSD is worth checking out, especially for your use case.
If you decide to try it out on hardware, check out https://bsd-hardware.info/ and see if your machine is supported.
Also check out UnitedBSD.com It's a forum and there are many NetBSD users there.
thanks, I had no idea what that meant either
Judging him on not being "properly" socialist or anti-imperialist or whatever is completely missing the point.
But there are people who put him on the pedestal. His claimed by the left, and western leftists love to argue over who is "more socialist" than the other. His time in Spain, books like Animal Farm and 1984...they're held up as examples of Orwell being a better leftist than others.
Did he write this at the time the Exiled staff were smashing each other in the face with horse semen pies? Seems like a lot of edginess and projection.
Chronologically I think this comes after the horse semen pies.
It's not a stretch to think a middle class Englishmen from the early 20th century hates catholics, and that this bigotry (along with his other pet hates) pop up in his writing.
As far as Orwell being a socialist....don't forget he ratted out British socialist to British intelligence.
yes, but my money would have gone to mozilla, a company that I would like to see do well
I get what you're saying about mullvad, but firefox having a VPN is one more way to get revenue.
and here I was, getting ready to sign up to their VPN service

"That’s the thing about Orwell’s Imperialism: it’s perfectly ordinary stuff, distinguished only by the socialist persona he invented to speak it. As an example of literary dissembling, Orwell belongs with the great forgers. But as a man of ideas, he is truly beneath contempt. His ideas are simply the hatreds of his nursery, hidden by an elaborate self-glorifying backstory."
“[A] world in which it is wrong to murder an individual civilian and right to drop a thousand tons of high explosive on a residential area does sometimes make me wonder whether this earth of ours is not a loony bin made use of by some other planet.” George Orwell (31 December 1943)
That's a neat quote. I wonder what Orwell thought of the manufactured famines in Ireland and India, or the British East India Company going to war with China so they make them purchase opium.
Hitchens is pretty awful imo. Tried to paint himself as some type of lefty, as he got older agitated for war and just drank himself to death. That, and the weird new atheist sthick....he was a good writer when he was younger, but he was a careerist more than anything else.
Dude, where's my efficient public transport?
We can't simply blame it all on PG&E and move on, a spark from a PG&E power line would not turn into a devastating megafire if the forest was healthy.
Correct. But we can blame PG&E for whatever negligence lead played its part in a forest fire, and enact legislation to make combat it.
Along with that, we can use controlled burns to mitigate the problem as well. It's well known that different indigenous tribes in North America did controlled burns for the positive effect it had.
that's too bad...feels like everything has to be immutable or rolling release nowadays.
the Android messages web app always had a hard time connecting to my phone even when the phone was clearly on, had the messages app open, and was connected to same wifi as my computer; and second, Chrome recently just started becoming unopenable (like it would open and then immediately close for some reason).
Those are definitely annoying and off putting. On my pixel 5 chrome always worked well (but I use other browsers), and messages app was trouble free...
Wonder if it was a problem with that model of phone you had.
But it's true, apples ecosystem is definitely a draw
the iPhone is nudging me further to giving a Macbook/OSX a try one day,
Gaming isn't great on Mac (depending on what games you play), but macbooks are great imo. A pro or an air with apple silicon is worth the money. I've never really appreciated the build quality of a mac before.
I just got an iPhone for the first time, and it is a noticeably better device than my previous Android phones.
In what way? What Android phones did you use in the past?
uhhh, more public transport please!
Jails is a better solution. So is (Solaris/Illumos) zones.
Can you explain why? It's not something I know a lot about so I'd be interested to learn about
What I liked about solaris--and illumos based OS's--is the time slider built in to the file manager. Would live to see something like that in freebsd and/or linux
