   Is this the same as enabling `init_on_free=1` in the kernel?

   Netbox project used to go on and on about the philosophical justifications for not including n-type connections or different types of LMR. But the most recent release notes that I read had a blurb about all the new coax cable types they are supporting. I understand having limited time but instead of saying "no" they always had to make lofty philosophical arguments. It's weird.

   This is a travel router without a modem. It would be super inconvenient if you bought an eSIM for a device that does not have a modem. You might as well by an eSIM for your toothbrush when you are traveling abroad, it would equally "convenient."

   It doesn't have a modem. Why would it support eSIM?

   The transmission site for WWVB has hundreds of water bottles to insulate the equipment from temperature swings.

   You need xdg-desktop-portal . Its probably automatic in some environments but with sway I have to set it up manually. Its one of those annoying things I forget about whenever I set up a new machine.

   I was not trying to tear your argument down. The comment you replied to was about carbs being specifically disgusting and in my head potatoes are the runner up to bread for classic examples of carbs. I was simply asking about what seemed like a contradiction. I have been looking into GLP1s and have not seen/heard people mention that GLP1 make carbs gross.
9. dfc Nov 13, 2025 parent

   You can confirm that GLP1s make "carbs specifically disgusting" and an example of this reaction is that you would have a desire to eat potatoes?

    > Beets can do this too!

    This is the best summary of beets. It's wildly flexible and configurable.

    I havent been to boingboing in probably 15 years. Its weird to have nostalgia triggered by something so different from what it used to be.

    The chart shows the opposite weight relationship.
13. dfc Oct 31, 2025 parent

    I do not live somewhere that game fish are particularly small. That is why the chart showing salmon weighing less than rats is strange. Did you see the chart?

    > you will not be able to transfer your hard-drive/SSD to an older machine that does not support x86-64-v3. Usually, we try to ensure that moving drives between systems like this would work. For 26.04 LTS, we’ll be working on making this experience cleaner, and hopefully provide a method of recovering a system that is in this state.

    Does anyone know what the plans are to accomplish this?

15. dfc Oct 31, 2025 parent

    The average salmon weighs more than the average rat. Am I missing something?

    It's a great font but I do not see anything that looks similar in the PDF. This comment is more like "Speaking of fonts, I like this unrelated san serif mono spaced font."

    I tried this route at first. There are enough stupid forms that reject VERP addresses that it's easier to just use different recipients.

    You saw a comment a day or two ago about zram, but never got around to looking into it more even though you are obsessed by it?

    In my head, one of the things that makes up an "enterprise grade" switch is 48 ports. Because "for the enterprise", in my opinion, evokes some idea of large scale deployment, not a mom and pop trinket store with one PoS cash register device and three company computers.

    What does enterprise grade mean to you?

20. dfc Oct 22, 2025 parent

    In my head enterprise grade switch has 48 ports with some >10g SFPs for uplink. What does enterprise grade mean to you? And what enterprise grade switches are poe powered?

    The results for "Mark Rothko", "Paintings by Mark Rothko", "Paintings similar to mark rothko" etc does not bring up anything that I was expecting. NGA has a large collection of Rothko paintings but none of them come up.

    This NGA link returns over a thousand pieces by Rothko: https://www.nga.gov/artists/1839-mark-rothko/artworks

22. dfc Oct 10, 2025 parent

    It would be nice if took you to the NGA page about the item. I cant even copy the text easily for easy search.

    "Images of german shepherds" never fails to provide some humor.

    I imagine that OP is referring to batteries with no protection circuit and the positive and negative terminals of the batteries being exposed[1]. The Samsungs in the keyboard do in fact lack a protection circuit. I don't know if banning the sale of battery holders is going to be a great fix.

    That's fine, but s debug tool is different than the config tool. You complained that you had to use ssh to config nebula, you do not. The ssh interface is not the recommended way to configure nebula.

    Your original comment before editing complained about using pdflatex as if it was not part of the pandoc toolchain. It was not about pandoc being universal.
27. dfc Sep 29, 2025 parent

    I am not sure what the author thought was so pompous about nebula. It's unfortunate because it seems to have prevented them from reading the documentation. The ssh interface is used as a debug tool not a configuration tool: https://nebula.defined.net/docs/guides/debug-ssh-commands/

    No, but sort of yes. This is from Ubuntu:

    "Interim releases will introduce new capabilities from Canonical and upstream open source projects, they serve as a proving ground for these new capabilities." https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle

    You will be surprised to learn that pandoc uses latex for generating the PDF. It's barely hidden:

    I think one of the reasons is that mailing list usage expects/imposes some level of reflection time and editing between sending a new reply. Imagine if every time someone hit enter in slack/teams/discord a new email showed up in a thread somewhere in someone's mail reader.
