I fixed this, tell the grandmother, I’ll only send the pictures etc via signal.

Set it up for her, put it on the home screen.

It depends on what you are looking for.

Look at the classics, some can be a bit heavy. But there is generally a reason they are considered classic stories.

Legend!

I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year… The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.

Long past, but for old files especially, old .doc files it is great as a backup.

It lives in a VM that never has access to the internet, it almost never gets started up.

I have office 2007 on a winxp VM, I haven’t had to use it in a few years, but it is there as a back up

As someone with a 5yo.

Sit on the floor when interacting with them. Literally being on their level can help a lot, that and talk about stuff they are into.

As someone else mentioned, don’t baby talk to them, unless they have some specific learning disability, a 5yo will know a lot about what they are into (a dinosaur kid will know heaps about dinosaurs)

My boys all love Lego, build cool stuff, then let them have it, don’t use instructions.

Came to say this exact thing.

FFS I have 100’s of passwords saved in my keepass DB, they are all different.

Passwords will only autofill on the correct site, so look alike sites are captured by that simple bit of security.

This list looks very interesting, I’ll have to check them out, Completely Arbortrary really appeals.

Edit: I listened to the first two fall of civilizations, it is really good. Thanks for the recommendation.

Bernard Hickey is pretty good. Enjoy.

• RadioLab: so many great episodes on random topics, some absolute gold here.
• The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck: relatively new, from the author of the best still book of the same name. So far, great!
• Planet Money: US focused but still really interesting. Economics focused, non political.
• The Inquiry: BBC deep dive on current affairs.
• The Forum: BBC deep dive on various topics, some really interesting stuff.
• Critical Role: its critical role…
• The Kākā: NZ focused economics and politics.
• Unexpected Elements: BBC science podcast.
• The History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps: very deep dive into the history of philosophy.

No human should be running w11.

Yep, downloaded XP over 33.6k modem, but I’m in NZ so 33.6 was more advertising than reality, it took weeks.

Hell my home server, running on low end Xeon hardware had uptime numbers around 3 years…then there was a power cut. Next down day was another power cut a year or so later. Total around 8 years running with 5 outages, all but one due to power loss (other was Ubuntu 16.04 - 18.04 upgrade).

Just updated to Ubuntu server 20.04 so uptime is only 7 days at this point.

Went to a steak and ale bar, asked for a medium rare and my partner asked for a medium.

Mine came out blue and hers was rare…I was like wow these are undercooked, sent them back…

They literally just microwaved the plate, salad and all…

Never went back, told a bunch of people to avoid the place.

I understand, but to solve the drive death issue, there are existing solutions which are easy and free.

Syncthing!

I use KeepassXC and sync my DB to my phone/laptop/desktop and backup to my server.

Something something rule 34

Are people actually talking about what he did?

There are active fields of study that consider the ideas of Socrates, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Einstein…

What a great question.

A few that come to mind. (In no particular order)

• Socrates and Aristotle - literally changed the way humanity as a whole thinks, their influence echoes thorough time their ideas are talked about 2500 years later.
• Marcus Aurelius - stoic philosopher and emperor, set the standard for what a great ruler could be, modern politicians have nothing on him.
• Albert Einstein - literally changed the way we look at the universe, overturned Newton and his theories have stood up to ever more precise tests.
• Linus Torvolds - the impact of the Linux kernel on computing cannot be overstated, from the smallest single board computers to the biggest most powerful supercomputers, all run Linux. The internet wouldn’t be the same without it.
• Johannes Guttenburg - inventer of the printing press, the wide dissemination of knowledge that directly stemmed from this invention changed the world.
• Alexander Fleming - discovered penicillin, finally gave humanity an effective weapon against bacteria, penicillin and it’s derivatives have saved billions of lives.
• Stanislav Petrov - Ignored the nuclear early warning system, which erroneously reported 6 launches from the US against the USSR. If he had followed protocol the resulting nuclear response would have triggered WWIII, he saved billions of people by not launching.

To those saying sports personalities, I doubt people will be talking about their achievements in couple of hundred years.

Edit: added Stanislav Petrov.
