> As for the Latin mass, yes it was there, and if you wanted to know what was said then you could always find out

Latin prayer books usually have the translation side by side. Attendants of the traditional Mass find value in it - it's truly Catholic since you take part into it like anybody else worldwide, praying the same prayers, regardless of your native language, that have been prayed over the last ~5 centuries, some of which are 10, 15 or almost 20 centuries old.

<conspiracy_theory> The Vatican Council II's original purpose wasn't in fact to abolish the traditional Mass, but to help with increasingly difficult evangelization. What happened was instead largely due to the worldwide infiltration of the Church by the freemasons. </conspiracy_theory>

<reality_check> Pope John Paul I publicly declared upon being elected, that he'd expose and get rid of them - freemasons weren't in fact allowed as members the Church - priests, bishops, cardinals - and have never been, since they are obviously against the Church, but he knew they were there still.

On the evening before he died, the Pope received Pecorelli, a journalist that was a member of the masonic P2 lodge, who famously gave him a list of Catholic bishops and cardinals that were members of the freemasonry.

The Pope died a few hours after reading his list, his death never really investigated. The list disappeared; Pecorelli died a few months later in a car accident.

The P2 lodge was involved in other scandals, and as a consequence, some of its then members' names were exposed, and are now public - including some of the most powerful Italian politicians, entrepreneurs etc. of the time; now, after four decades, most of them are dead anyway - everything else is history.

Freemasonry in Italy came well before they entered the Vatican though - it's not even too far fetched to think that Italy itself was created by them - Garibaldi was the founder of the main Italian FM branch, of which he became the Grand Master (with the "33th degree") - the Grande Oriente d'Italia. Mazzini and other famous "fathers of the country" were also freemasons as well.

Ironically, Freemasonry - probably the most powerful, concealed, deceiving cult in the world - has not even a minor mention in this list. <sad /> </reality_check>

You can read about all of this on Wikipedia and elsewhere.

A friend of mine was pulled into Amway and tried hard to pull me in, resulting in the end of our friendship.

Did we? But my concern is with uninstallation:

"curl -sL https://... | sudo bash"

Now you won't be able to uninstall it if the repo ever goes black...

I love it!!! But please, change that "GOD orchestrator" label, as a believer, I find it profane and offensive.

Z80 also powered the whole MSX line of home computers, how could have he missed that?!?

We did, and there was some cool stuff coming out of MS now and then. I remember when the first Power Toys came out - there's nothing really magic in current ones though.

This sounds like the perfect use case for a simple, straightforward VM. Dual booting is dangerous, time consuming, and makes it inconvenient to share clipboard, stuff... why don't you use a Windows VM instead? You can freeze a VM (saving state) rather than restarting it. Windows won't bat an eye since it's not being shut down or suspended. No longer unexpected 15 minutes pauses - restart it when you have time to spare, and keep working in your host Linux OS while the Windows VM does its shenanigans.

RustDesk already encrypts connections going via Relay. Encryption is missing in direct IP to IP connections only - but you could set up an SSH tunnel, or a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy though.

Another valid alternative is Xpra, and it does support Wayland too - but doesn't reach feature parity with X11. Like RustDesk, Xpra is similarly feature-rich and mature, it too can take advantage of SSH tunnels, SOCKS or HTTPS proxies etc.

And then there's TeamViewer and AnyDesk - both of which are paid, with a free tier for evaluating or personal use - RustDesk is younger, but feature-wise they're quite similar.

Finally, you could set up wireguard that will happily encrypt your connection with very little overhead - regardless of your chosen remote desktop solution.

> Seems like dense 30B is back in fashion?

Huh, well... no? Gemma A4B and Qwen A3B are quite popular in fact. I'm sure 3.8 35B A3B will outperform 3.6 27B by all metrics

> It's better than the benchmark scores seem to indicate compared to Qwen 3.6 27B. I'm very excited for 3.8

Is it worth considering if it's only marginally better than Qwen 3.6 though? Qwen 3.8 27B is almost there, and will probably be better suited as drop-in replacement for 3.6. Not even considering there's probably going to be a 3.8-35B-A3B too - which will have even better performance.

Cool, gotta try this out under Termux-X11

On Debian at least, Alt+grab, or the window menu "move" could save your day.
