  1. Yeah just let me buy my coffee while travelling... waiting for confirmation... sorry still waiting. Shit, I missed my flight (who don't accept cryptocurrency)
  2. $200-300 in Australia, so I'll just keep hoping emulation improves.
  3. I dunno, software seems to be getting worse, hardware is getting more expensive and both Microsoft and Apple are distracted by AI, not to mention NVIDIA who seem to have bet the farm on Deus Ex Shovel
  4. lol. lmao even.
  5. Those Linux systems that aren't getting updates must be the ones sending Mirai to my Linux systems, which are getting updates (and also Mirai, although it won't run because it's the wrong architecture).

    No malware? Only if you have your head in the sand.

  6. Why? With what proof? With what statistics?
  7. Would you like to elaborate somewhat?

    What other countries?

    What problem?

  8. I'll bite.

    Official documentation from who? For which audience? For which use case?

    Making a bootable image for what kind of system? My Ryzen PC needs a very different image to my aarch64 router.

    Where have you not seen info on "installing a bootloader to a target disk"? This is what every distro installer does - this can range from putting a kernel in an EFI partition and setting a variable to building a uboot image and setting variables in NVRAM

    Lastly, what do you class as a "decent installer process"? Things have moved on from Slackware's installer. You've got everything from the Debian installer (which hasn't changed much) to Anaconda (let's run the install UI in a browser) to Ubuntu Server (everything is a container!) and many things in between.

  9. I think the protocols for those are reasonably well understood, but e.g. you can only print via USB from a Mac, Bluetooth was only on a phone AFAICR
  10. You don't need the AI generated picture at the top of that article.
  11. ITT: people repeatedly making the same mistakes, misunderstanding archival and also ignoring glaring problems with converted output
  12. With what command line?

    Figuring out what to ask qemu to do (without libvirt!) is half the battle.

    (Thanks though, I have something to play with tonight)

  13. What broke?
  14. Windows ping.exe supports both.
  15. I have had IPv6 on every ISP I have been on since at least 2012 (http://web.archive.org/web/20120217204742/https://www.intern...)

    It's fine. The only breakages I've had are when the ISP's v4 DHCP goes down (v6 websites keep working) or when IPv6 delegation fails somehow and my machines lose v6 (v6 only stuff breaks).

    Your mobile phone probably already uses IPv6 (especially if you use VoLTE) and it's fine, too.

  16. What tech do you use?
