From my point of view in Europe, the trail that Trump is following by persecuting opponents, disregarding and abusing law, deploying a pretorian guard and defending territorial expansionism is in the history books, and is a template followed by Hitler, but by no means only by Hitler. China has no track record of being an expansionist bully that threatens everybody except other bullies, like the USA is doing right now. I never thought of seeing a comic book type dystopia unrolling before my eyes, but that's what I'm seeing and I'm worried because I have children.

Donated. I hope NetBSD becomes a stronger option for my old PCs. So many good old machines that could benefit from it.

Thank you for your work. NotebookLM has been invaluable for my learning experience. With the summaries, the mind maps, the multi-source synthesis and dialogue with the material, it adjusts pretty well to my learning style.

The relevant question here is: what version of NetBSD is the toaster running?
Comment · 2 years ago
Yes, the client could be a "sim swap" victim, and in that case you would be talking to an attacker. So the identity validation can be useful in that case.

I use Haiku in my old Asus EEE PC 701. It fits in the 4gb SSD leaving space for applications, 1gb of RAM is enough and it supports a lot of daily use applications like libre office or emacs(I'm using version 29 with denote for my personal Knowledge Base). The only think that I didn't manage to make work was the camera. It's very stable on that machine and gave it a new life making it pretty usable, even for browsing the web for content(not heavy social media sites). YouTube is possible with low resolution through other applications, not the browser.

I still have my EEE Pc 701 from 2007. Still works well with 2GB of RAM, Void Linux+DWM and an extended filesystem in the SD Card. Good for experimenting and for note taking with Emacs+org roam or Zim. Still good for reading wikipedia or stack overflow articles with netsurf or seamonkey(sites with JavaScript). Remember searching open or crackable wifi networks with the little fellow in the palm of my hand. I have another with NetBSD, works well too.

Well, for me it was what made love the classes. I guess the teacher has a big influence here.

"Meiga" does not mean "Witch" in Portuguese, it means a "gentle woman".

Sad day for me and for Portugal. We've lost one of our greatest ones. Remember the day I knew he won the Nobel Prize as if it was now. Not a consensual man, but a great man, and a great writer.

I don't realize why the people are pushing down an effort to give us more power of choice in our searches. There is a lot of room to improve? Sure. Let's support the improvements.
