@sjvn Show your router a big hammer and tell it what will happen if it doesn't do its job properly. 20 years later, real-time Linux makes it to the kernel - really https://zdnet.com/article/20-years-later-real-time-linux-makes-it-to-the-kernel-really/ by @sjvn Real-time #Linux is finally here, but long before it got here the project had made fundamental improvements to mainstream Linux. @sjvn is priint_K a typo or? I only find it mentioned twice, your article and a French (auto translated?) article. https://news-24.fr/20-ans-plus-tard-linux-en-temps-reel-arrive-dans-le-noyau-vraiment/

@sjvn if you have an #Inkjet: Just don't buy one and get a proper #Laser printer!! Showed this pic to someone and a conversation ensued about how the handle was affixed, where it came from, etc. We showed the pic to someone with the question, "what's wrong with this?" Operating system internals aren't nearly as bloody as you might, despite what's in the table of contents.

@sjvn reminded me that once I tried to type โman killโ in my terminal, but ended up typing it in my browserโฆ Definitely NOT the instructions Iโm not looking for Switzerland now requires all government software to be open source https://www.zdnet.com/article/switzerland-now-requires-all-government-software-to-be-open-source/ by @sjvn Switzerland is one of the world's leading #opensource countries; now, if only the United States could follow its lead!

@sjvn why am I this bothered by the fact that there is an Y instead of a Z between the T and U keys on that keyboard?

@sjvn well Windows 11 is a better copy of KDE than Windows 10. The virtual desktop works almost as good as on *Ubuntu (or any other user oriented Linux version). @sjvn I miss the #Microsoft MVP summit, it was such a great opportunity to meet with hundreds of people from all over the world, discuss, debate and interact with product teams at Microsoft. It was also fun being on campus and visiting the company store. Also, Microsoft MVP's are customer advocates, so, they share direct feedback about the product issues with the teams that work on them. Also, if you attend a conference like this, you are likely a fan of the product.

I love Elle Cordova and her clever, funny videos. This one is for all my writer and editor friends.

@sjvn Well, I like to take my time and eat slowly. Around 300 bits and I need a couple of drinks. So I grab a pair-a-tea. My wife then grumps at me for taking her tea so I make her a cup of coffee and call it even. Then to finish my meal. I'm about to start bit, but I'm interrupted by the cat and tell them to stop bit. ๐ง

@sjvn As a rural letter carrier, I can confirm this.
@sjvn Ones that bark aren't a problem.
The problem is the stealth dog. The one that leaps and bites the fingers poking through the letter box delivering something without making a sound.
They are known, of course, and noted on the delivery route slips. But who bothers to read them??
@sjvn I think Iโll use the phrase โsorry he is our wireless doorbellโ to apologise to any guests coming over and being barked at before I get to open the door
