Put on some socks you heathens

Donations are not sustainable. Many open-source projects tried them, and the only thing they can cover are server costs or conferences, developers are still working for free on their own time.

With North Korea included, it’s already more than two countries who are at war.

it’s used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works on your system. It’s the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

Nah, it will end up simply as “John” in the database. You need “John%sDoe” to crash C software with unsafe printf() calls, and even then it’s better to use several “%s”

Someone wants to raise their Hirsch index, is all.

Among field troops in Vietnam it became common knowledge that ingestion of a small amount of C-4 would produce a “high” similar to that of ethanol. Others would ingest C-4, commonly obtained from a Claymore mine, to induce temporary illness in the hope of being sent on sick leave.

If they became coal, toss them. If you collected them last week, toss them, because the oil will go bad. Otherwise should be safe, they are dry so they cannot grow fungus or bacteria.

It has always been possible to live without petroleum and coal, without deforestation and extinctions, without international finance capital and instant digital commerce, without immigration laws and border walls, without corporate and state surveillance and militarized police.

To get to such a future, though, we need to pull the emergency brake on this future first. Then we can do the work of remembering how to survive without all these things, the way humans have done for thousands and thousands of years.

Yeah, no. I’d like heating in my apartment during the winter. Coal is kinda essential for that, until we upgrade all our generation to wind and nuclear power. The fact that humans survived without coal in the past, well, they simply died by the thousands.

Torvalds kicked out a bunch of Russia-based kernel maintainers.

Hey, do you maybe know the Polish alphabet song? I was searching for it on the internet forever, but I don’t speak Polish so I could not google the correct phrase. It started like this (reconstructed from oral lore using Google Translate):

Berlin miastem w Niemczech leże

burdel - miejsce dla młodzieży

guzik to jest częścią ubrania

gówno jest produktem srania

dynia to jest do jedzenia

dupa to jest do pierdzenia

…

And it supposedly continued all the way to letter Z.

They were just called ‘tomatoes’ on the label. They also were more sweet than sour, and over-ripened.

You can use plum tomatoes, they are usually the cheapest, and will have the taste closest to the tomato paste.

If you don’t add the meat, this becomes a classic vegetarian pasta recipe. Eat with a slice of Brie, or grind some hard cheese on top. Or simply put sliced cheese on top, it is going to melt anyway.

The main reason is that I’ve got this can of pork for free, and it wasn’t super high quality, with skin and sinew. Eating it as-is was meh, so my choice was either to dump it into a soup, or army-style macaroni, which is a downgrade of navy-style macaroni, the recipe is literally - dump the can of meat into a pasta, and you can replace the pasta with instant noodles for an extra decrease of cooking time and dish quality.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you’re in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

Android cannot even emulate an older version of Android to run outdated apps.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

I had made pasta with fresh tomatoes exactly once.

Yeah it was tastier than canned tomatoes. And it also took me half a day to make. In the end I just dumped the pasta into the pan with tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are like 3x faster, because they take no preparation time beyond opening the can.

The variety of tomatoes matters little, the heat treatment will average the taste, so it’s okay to use the cheapest tomatoes for this, as long as they didn’t start to rot.

Edit after reading others’ replies: maybe the tomatoes in my country are just better, even the cheapest variety is tasty enough eaten raw, and the only time I could find tomatoes that are picked green and are ripening on the shelf is during winter, when all fresh vegetables are hydroponics, and even then you have some choice.

The recipe:

1. Get fresh tomatoes. Wash tomatoes. Cut tomatoes in 2 or 4 pieces each, you’ll mash them anyway so thin slices do not matter. Fill the biggest bowl in your kitchen with sliced tomatoes. I was using like 2 kg of tomatoes, they wouldn’t fit into the pan until simmering down.

2. Fry diced onions and carrots in a pan, using a generous finger-thick layer of olive oil, until the onions are golden and carrots are sweet.

3. Dump tomatoes into the pan. Cover with a lid, cook on a slow fire for about 15-20 minutes. Mash and stir each 3 minutes so they won’t burn. Cooking less will preserve taste of fresh tomatoes, cookig longer will make it taste closer to canned pasta sauce. But cooking for less than 5 minutes will keep tomatoes stay in big chunks, so you won’t be able to make your sauce stick to the pasta.

4. Boil pasta while tomatoes are cooking.

5. Dump Italian spice mix onto the pan. Turn off the heat, let it simmer for 1 minute.

6. Dump pasta into the pan, stir, slurp your tomato-pasta soup from the pan like an animal, contemplate your life choices when you have trouble standing after eating 3 kg of food.

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
