That book is Expeditionary Force

Thank you so much for saying this. I had no idea until I read your comment and immediately opened the view menu. I am blown away I didn’t know about this after over 10 years of using LO...

If corona virus, then no hugs

This is very cool! I’ve recently started using my wife’s old Kindle for reading the pfSense book and the Google SRE Handbook and have been loving the fact that it isn’t a bright screen or filled with distractions.

This is a great idea that I’ll be trying out with a couple technical blogs.

Their Serval Pro laptop has a Ryzen option

The difference is likely just whether or not you financially back/support all of the firmware/software/support services offered by System76

Don’t forget that part of what’s wrapped into that premium is excellent support & warranty along with the development of firmware and Pop!_OS. It’s more than just the hardware. It’s ensuring you can rely on that hardware to work end to end.

I can’t agree with this enough. I’d love to hear more about how to accomplish what you’re asking in the current state of the fediverse. I’ve been reading into it but am not sure how to use my own instance as my “who I am” and “where I am from” while not allowing others to be from my “home” yet still safely connecting and conversing with others.

It’s marketed as easy, but once you start digging into the details, it quickly becomes more complex than I was expecting.

I’ve been looking into Mastadon, Pixelfed, and Matrix to use in this way, but it seems pointless since I don’t want to host my friends and family’s content, and they’re not going to sign up for some random odd sounding instance. I’m then left with an empty social network or communication tool that’s little more than a tech demo.

How do you feel about contributing what you’ve learned to the documentation?

Given that it’s convertible into USD and other “real” currencies, how do you expect this line of reasoning to hold?

One of the things I find interesting is this:

In computer programming, a “solution” to a problem is in essence, a structured framework of thought.

As an example, why are there many different programming languages? Well in addition to various other reasons, for the sake of solving problems in a new or different way of thinking.

Is youth constantly reinventing solutions to already solved problems due to amnesia, or are they perhaps creating new ways to reason about already identified problems?

Just because you saw the problem first doesn’t buy you the right to providing the only solution.

Computer science is unique in that it is art as much as science. Allowing for multiple frameworks of thought on a solution allows for the best solution to rise to the top.

If we are still seeing an influx of new and interesting solutions to existing problems, perhaps our field isn’t as mature as we’d like to think it is.

Maybe he’s not that smart. Maybe he’s like a worker bee who only knows how to push buttons or something

Wow what an arrogant person. I was originally interested, but in reading that comment chain, all I heard was, “I don’t care what you think. My way is clearly the most superior way and you are less than for thinking any other way could possibly be valid.” That’s my cue to stay as far away as possible from a project, and it would be a shame to have such a daft and stubborn coworker for which I’m thankful I don’t!

An equal and opposing argument:

Email patches? You’re going to make me send an email patch? I can’t tell if you’re joking or serious... you’re... serious? Shall I write my patch into the computer via morse code as well? How could you possibly expect someone to take the time to jump through all the hoops that your massive ego and nostalgia for the past requires?

Oh wait, that sounds arrogant and childish too...
