ITT I wish those that can recall would name and shame.

Funny thing I’ve been driving for 30+ years, and have never had a formal driving test:
Permit at 15: No tests, only restriction was to have a licensed passenger in-vehicle
License at 16: Had driver’s ed in school, state’s driving test waved, and license transferred to other states without any new driving test
Motorcycle license: Took a safety course while in the military, state added endorsement without any test, which also transferred out-of-state
Heavy vehicles: Trained on military 5-ton/deuce+0.5/Frontloaders/HMMWVs - all kinds of heavy equipment - no formal tests, only unit sign-off (even on civilian roads)
The kicker: I now live in a US state where a driver license is good with no re-testing till age 64
Gonna suck when I actually do have to take a test. Hopefully there will be sane infra to go completely driverless by the time I get that old.
I love it too, I buy some of the wallaby stuff now and again.
Just don’t eat a ton in any given day.
Edit - Oh shit:
In past warnings, the FDA notes: “If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.”
“Could not fetch embedded watch page”
Some thoughts:
Ubuntu, most likely
I’d encourage you to take a look at Linux Mint, it alleviates some of the Ubuntu fuckiness. And if you want to join the “I use arch btw” crowd, maybe checkout EndeavourOS if you’re feeling more brave than just Ubuntu variants (which is built on arch, but makes barrier to entry a little easier).
i9s are the latest hotness but don’t think the price is worth it
Take a look at last generation to soften the blow to your wallet. E.g., instead of looking at a 14900k, look at 13 or even 12 series. In fact, this is a useful strategy all around if you’re being price conscious: go one gen older.
GPU that can support some sort of ML/AI with DisplayPort
Probably going to want to go with a discrete card, rather than just integrated. Other major consideration is going to be nvidia vs AMD, for which you’ll need to decide if CUDA should be part of your calculus or not. I’ll defer to any data science engineers that might wander through this post.
The rest of your reqs pretty much come as regular stock options when building a pc these days. Though another nicety for my latest builds, is multi-gig nics (though 2.5Gb was my ceiling, since you’ll also need the network gear to utilize it). Going multi-gig is nice for pushing around a fuckton of data between machines on my lan (including a NAS).
Very last thing that I’ve found helpful in my last 3 builds spanning 15 years: I use newegg for its reviews of items, specifically so I can search for the term “linux” in any given product’s reviews. Often times I can glean quick insight on how friendly (or not) hardware has been for other’s linux builds.
And I lied, I just remembered about another linux hardware resource: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search
You can see other people that have built with given hardware. Just remember to do a scan too once your build is up to pay it forward.
Good luck, and remember to have fun!
I can see a squirrel peaking out and hear Snot humping in the background! Beautiful!
Terry A. Davis, his journey creating his masterpiece is an incredible one. RIP, Terry.
I started answering unknown numbers and fucking with the people on the other end, saying anything to string them along and waste their time with bullshit and lies
I had a stoner friend who would drop everything in any given evening to do exactly this, specifically for his own entertainment and derision.
Ah, to be young and with plenty of spare time on hand, those were the days and we didn’t even realize it.
Memento is a time loop of sorts, good movie for sure.
An “entanglement”
Yes, but someone ultimately pays for the instance that is centralized. It’s that owner that could be susceptible to turning evil at worst, and misguided at best.
democratic voting system
This is not infallible either. If money or power comes into it, you can bet on corruption.
You’ve just kicked the can down the road. What then when the centralized link repo charges for api access, and also drops links it doesn’t like?
When you try to go centralized, it’s turtles all the way down. Something will have control that breaks the nature of being federated.
Unless there’s multiple link aggregators to choose from… but then that’s what we already have!
I use namecheap for a ton of my domains, but I use them only as a registrar. All of my hosting is done on other providers (aws, digitalocean, linode, etc.).
This means I’ve got access to my hosts’ machines via command line, and so can setup up certbot really easily. Though going with a self-managed host also means you’ll need to have some technical proficiency to take care of things yourself. But to me, that’s part of the fun.
Also, maybe they get petty enough that they want to go return the purchase, but don’t want to be seen by anyone they know doing it. So they’re ok with be curmudgeons, but they don’t want anyone else to know how cheap they are.
Soooo, they get one of their assistants do do it. But that perfect plan ends up taking a turn when…
Ok Larry David’s alt, I want it in writing that I’ll get a writer’s credit if you want the rest of the story.
Martini.
I was going to say Yiu, as in “Olive you” (I love you), but “you” comes up way to much in regular language, would confuse the poor dog.
I was like “oh what is the last word going to be?!”.
It doesn’t convert anything really, it only builds a link and posts it.
Well you don’t want your ass took, at least not without permission.
As soon as I read this I read the rest of your comment in Al Gore’s voice, ca 2k SNL, lol.
