At first glance IP address or URL, embedded in HTML, whatever it is, it’s a doozy. I wonder what the performance of it is like.

And how will Instagram know who my parents are?

Apparently it’s by subscription only…

At least the thermal paste isn’t too thick…

Yeah, I belatedly realised that.

Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

So … a company that despite decades of effort, can’t make a competitive web browser with all the help in the world, is now going to distract itself with even more non-essential rubbish with absolutely zero chance of success … can’t wait to hear what the excuse is going to be when this CEO leaves to pursue other opportunities.

Meanwhile the Assumed Intelligence Ponzi scheme will have collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the economy, let alone the ICT industry.

This timeline needs some tweaking…

Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.

Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.

Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.

When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.

This is the job for the OS.

You can run most Linux systems with stupid amounts of swap and the only thing you’ll notice is that stuff starts slowing down.

In my experience, only in extremely rare cases are you smarter than the OS, and in 25+ years of using Linux daily I’ve seen it exactly once, where oomkiller killed running mysqld processes, which would have been fine if the developer had used transactions. Suffice to say, they did not.

I used a 1 minute cron job to reprioritize the process, problem “solved” … for a system that hadn’t been updated for 12 years but was still live while we documented what it was doing and what was required to upgrade it.

Linux aggressively caches things.

4 GB of RAM is not running out of memory.

If you start using swap, you’re running into a situation where you might run out of memory.

If oomkiller starts killing processes, then you’re running out of memory.

No, “the due and payable” kind.

I suspect that the house of cards will come tumbling down as soon as one of the companies in this massive Ponzi scheme fails to pay their bill.

Defenestration in … three … two …

You mean like the Nepalese government did?

How much waste they take up with them?

If it’s more than 8kg, I’m guessing that the only missing requirement for the refund is to increase the number to make it that every climber brings down more than they take up.

In other words, put every climber on the scales before they go up and unless they weigh more when they come back, they don’t get their money back.

Bonus reward for each extra kg.

So the net of obligation, ownership and mutually assured destruction continues to tighten?

At some point this is going to explode … right?

We’ll, that’s interesting:

During Newton’s lifetime, two calendars were in use in Europe: the Julian (“Old Style” calendar in Protestant and Orthodox regions, including Britain; and the Gregorian (“New Style”) calendar in Roman Catholic Europe. At Newton’s birth, Gregorian dates were ten days ahead of Julian dates; thus, his birth is recorded as taking place on 25 December 1642 Old Style, but it can be converted to a New Style (modern) date of 4 January 1643. By the time of his death, the difference between the calendars had increased to eleven days. Moreover the civil or legal year in England began on 25 March, therefore the Newton’s death on 20 March was still dated as 1726 O.S. there.
