Intel Announces It's Shutting Down Clear Linux
The most depressing news of the week: Intel is ending their performance-optimized Clear Linux distribution. Over the past decade the Clear Linux operating system has shown what's possible with out-of-the-box performance on x86_64 hardware... Not just for Intel platforms but even showing extremely great performance results on AMD x86_64 too. But with the cost-cutting going on at Intel, Clear Linu…

얼마 전부터 LG ThinQ 앱을 실행해서 특정 기기를 사용하려고 하거나 알림을 보려고 하면 이렇게 앱이 죽네요. 다른 분들은 괜찮으신가요? 혹시 저만 이러는 건 아니겠지요?
이렇게 앱이 죽기 전에도 특정 기기를 사용하려고 하거나 알림을 보려고 하면 거의 10초 정도 시간이 걸리기는 했지만 되기는 됐었거든요.
그리고 그 전에는 앱 실행하면 반응하는 첫 화면이 뜰 때까지 비슷한 시간이 걸렸고요.
아마도 이런 지연을 줄여보려고 앱을 고치는 과정에서 생긴 문제로 보이네요. ㅠㅠ

그리고 난 여전히 의문인게... 박지현이 민주당 이름 훔쳐가서 사당 창당했던 김민석만큼 해당행위를 했나? 이언주마냥 국힘까지 넘어갔었나? 정동영보다 더 대차게 선거를 말아먹었나? 뭐 대선이랑 지선이란 차이는 있지만... 말아먹은 규모로는 역대 최강이지 않았어? 물론 그 사람들은 자기 역량이 있기는 했는데... 핵심은 박지현만 콕 찝어 세상이 두 쪽나도 용서할 수 없는 해당행위자로 이름 남긴게 어떻게 백래시가 아닐 수 있는지, 나로선 전혀 아리마셍이다.

Loops is built for the people, but we haven't forgot the admins.
We've added some pretty innovative features, like Pages that allow you to add/edit/publish rich pages and optionally add them to the main sidebar nav or footer and limit visibility to guests, users or both.
I appreciate your patience while we prepare Loops for you, and you'll soon see, it was worth the wait 🚀
거의 느낌이 더 좋다는 이유만으로 rootless컨테이너를 시도했고, 이후에는 갈아엎기 귀찮다는 이유로 계속 써왔다. uid를 외부랑 일치 시키면 이미지가 권한 관련 문제를 일으키기도 하고, 자동으로 이미지내 파일 소유를 바꿔주는 기능은 첫 실행 시 너무 느리기나 하고... 자동 재시작은 systemd랑 엮어서 쓸 수 있다고 알고 있기는 한데 어쨌든 별도의 시스템이라 아직도 안쓰고 있다. 아마 별 일 없으면 계속 이렇게 쓰겠지...?

@r1w1s1 Oh, my journey in the *nix world started with one of the #Slackware derivatives, developed by Russian community 
It was #MOPSLinux 3.1 and it was based on the Slackware 10.1 with some additionals, like support of Russian language and custom installer.

I spent 18 years in the Linux console and I don’t regret it
At first, this article was going to be a grumbling about well-known ideas like: "Let's add support for objects in Bash instead of ObSoLeTe text and add support for images and GIFs in the commands' output."

어제는 좀 흥분했었던 것도 있는데... 아니 진짜, 이게 흥분을 거둘 수 있는 일인가!! 죽어가는 사람들 앞에 두고, 응급조치는 사회적 합의가 필요한 일입니다. 멀쩡하게 잘 살아있는 사람들이 역차별이라 느끼지 않도록 해야합니다, 근데 니들이 그래봤자 우리 말고 누구 찍을래? 이러고 있으면 흥분이 돼요 안돼요? 그래 뭐, 여성인권 다 망가지고, 소수자들 다 죽고나면 신경쓰고 말 것도 없겠지. 그냥 다 죽길 기다리는 것 같다!!! 난 여기에 흥분 안하고 방구석에서 삼국지 놀이나 하고 앉았는 니들이 무서워! 어떻게 사람이 그래?

nuintari's rules of networking 0x2c:
Never scrounge a cable out of the trash. It's in there for a reason.
1st Corollary:
Always cut any cable you're throwing in the trash to prevent breaches of the aforementioned rule.
2nd Corollary:
If you replace ends on a trashed cable without also running it through a tester, you deserve any and all of the pain coming to you.
3rd Corollary:
The end connectors are not the only place cables break.

but when you’re generating that much power, working with equipment that uses that much power, you need a good ground. your generators can’t provide a very good ground, since they’re insulated from the ground, and you can’t exactly drive a grounding rod into the street… so what is a film crew to do?
bring your own ground, of course!
fire hydrants are big metal pipes that extend deep into the ground, and are one of very few bits of metal sticking up from the ground you can trust to be grounded
so you hook one of your camlock connectors up to a big clamp, you find a hydrant near one of your generator trucks, and you clamp your ground onto the hydrant!

At a bar and need help? Order an "Angel shot".
-"with lime" means call the police.
- "on the rocks" means you need a taxi called.
- "neat" means you need an escort to your car.
You can also ask for Angela, as in "is Angela working tonight?"
