i’m gonna bite the bullet tonight and go binhost on my machine.

Between that and never having the money to upgrade my computer I finally had to give up Gentoo after nearly 20 years of use. I keep wanting to go back but its just too painful and I just can’t bite the bullet to do a binary install.

To be fair, your SO is so old they don’t know what a meme is. Maybe in a few more years they will catch up to the rest of us

my mind went a completely different way.

The problem with all of those in Trump’s circle, they all are good at destruction while having absolutely no real talent in business. Aside from providing funding, Elon has in no way brought any sort of business skill to grow his companies.

He lost money because he showed he is a Nazi and had no plan for how to actually take advantage of taking out regulators beyond the idea he has no rules anymore.

The word you’re looking for is “context.”

One thing you will eventually find out is there is a good portion of the company who thinks they are an effective employee when they really aren’t. For example I work in Software and Hardware development. In 25 years I’ve worked in large companies and small, big teams, small teams and teams of one. I’ve had many project managers and in almost all cases they have ranged from bad to pointless. The well oiled teams found the project managers only got in the way and provided no ROI to their work. So much so that in one org the PM left and they never replaced them which resulted in the teams highest productive quarters two years running.

If we were to vote I’d ask for justification for those roles and what their returns are. What actual added benefit did they bring and what problems did they cause. The issue i foresee is that every single one of them would say they were very valuable and important. But if you asked the people under them doing the actual development you’d hear the exact opposite. With the pandemic and everyone working remotely you’d think their role would become even more important but a lot of places have shown that haven’t.

Their hooves are creepy when they are born.

The idea would be that the Gov renegotiates the loan, pays off some portion of the interest to make sure that all of us have money in savings expecting return to get it, and then the home owners would get a more reasonable rate. The government would also have to tell all the bank shareholders to take a long walk off a short pier. Oh and jail the C-level

The problem though was that many of the people taking on those horrible rates were people or properties that were bad investments. And the government never really cares enough to punish white collar crimes even they are industry wide like this. Look at Wells Fargo. They full on committed fraud, signing people up for accounts without their knowledge and no one went to jail. If you or I did that for one individual its a felony. But if you’re the bank itself its no big deal. WF should have been broken up and sold off and a bunch of people should be living in a cell.

All the children songs were like that. Remeber singing about the animals boarding the ark two by two. They seemed to skip over all the children on earth drowning.

You’re talking about economic systems, that isn’t what i was talking about. I was talking about how pricing works. So before you get all hot about it maybe learn the difference

I wasn’t making an assumption on the actual cost and who gets the money. I’m just saying people seem dumbfounded when they hear the price of a pizza at $15 and then see a $6 delivery fee from a 3rd party and think OMG thats expensive. You were paying the pizza place half that on ever pizza even when you eat there, and then you have a business who gets no pay for the pizza unless you get it delivered so if course they are going to charge even more for delivery.

Because people are dumb to pay the price for delivery from a private service? Or because they understand how a business is run?

I never use the service because I’m not going to waste money when I can just got get it myself.

When you do the math it makes sense that is the cost. None of the pizza places dropped their price when they stopped doing delivery, and the price the private delivery services are doing at least double the pizza place’s delivery price.

Most places like a pizza shop are going to split 3 ways between food, staff and other overhead. On a $15 pizza we are talking about $5 split between the cook and the delivery person so lets say $3 is adding into every pizza for delivery costs.

On a $50 purchase you’re seeing $10 for delivery from the pizza place and then an additional $20 for the private.

Oddly I think the only cases I ever used it where I was connecting to my home computer from outside my house was when I needed to connect to my router’s webpage. SSH to my home computer and then pull up the browser to open a port on my DMZ or other such nonsense.

When at home and just using LAN bandwidth it was to run lesser programs.

That looks like a great solution, will have to try it out.

I finally got an “upgrade” going from a super slow 25 year old system to a kinda slow 10 year old system. Went with wayland to try it out and it works well enough so far.

The only thing I’m missing, and I haven’t had a need since the upgrade is to be able to run remote X applications locally. Relied on a netbook with X client and had my desktop downstairs. Now my new laptop can run all I meed so no remote X tunnels over SSH.

One thing to note with X11’s design, having a server and client, there was nothing requiring both to be on the same machine. You could run an X11 client on your local machine, ssh into a remote machine and use its X11 server.

Lets say you are home and can ssh into a work server. You could run Firefox on the work machine, using it’s network and have the visual parts show up on your home computer.

This was very much a Unix, shared resource style design. Servers and thin clients. Put all your horse power in the big machine and connect using your crappy low power system to it.

This looks like the text they show in the true murder shows to demonstrate why the child killed their parent.

what do you think the results will be?

They will point to all the laws they ignored and say they apply. When you point out “hey you did the same thing” they will change the subject or ignore you comment. They know they are hypocrits and don’t care. They will do whatever it takes to win including cheat. So again I ask you what do you think will happen? I think the answer is nothing.

And it’s the same Republicans who said Supreme Court nominations shouldn’t happen right before an election and also voted in nominations right before an election. They don’t give us shit about anything. Why would we go through a stunt when they wouldn’t think twice about how they are hypocritics. they know then are, they just don’t care.
