This may also signal stress or calcium deficiency or excess in the animal’s diet.

Hens over one year old tend to lay very thick and hard shelled eggs, that break unevenly and peel poorly, even with every single technic to boil it used, when a surplus of calcium is available.

Younger hens, below 6 months of age, tend to lay fin shelled eggs that stick more to the inner membrane.

I am not into competitive gaming but I’ll be damned if I understand why the the anti-cheat modules are built into the game instead of being an aditional package that is installed and verified through the tournament platform.

You be the judge of it:

• punched through a tempered, textured, 3mm thick glass, leading to several cuts on a hand and wrist
• kicked a glass panel on a door and got a nasty cust on my toe
• several instances of cutting myself on different types of thorny bushes
• perforation with glasses rim on my eyebrow
• severe cut on my other eyebrow, another on the bridge of my nose
• broken arm, twice
• fall from a 1st floor balcony, landing on a bush, after breaking a cabinet with my back and legs, until finally reaching the ground
• hundreds, if not thousands, of small scrapes and bruises
• bitten by dogs, leading to deep gouges, on my calves
• severe tear on the back of my left hand, with a broken bone, not exposed, leading to surgery
• many, many, many sprained ankles and wrists
• three pulled teeth plus all the bleeding from losing my baby teeth
• minor burns on hands and fingers, from cooking
• several nasty cuts from kitchen knives and a perforation by a lobster spike, which led to a severe infection, with a piece of lobster shell stuck underneath a finger nail
• a few near choking to death episodes
• two electrocussion incidents (230V), for mere seconds

I’m not against supporting a software in a recurring form but the web browser is essentially the lock and key of accessing the entirery of what exists outside your machine.

That would garner an immense power to whichever entity developing one. Remember Microsoft and the IE case.

Firefox is not perfect and apparently on a downwards spiral but what made it stand out was because it wanted to be free and for all. Chrome is far from being a good thing.

Hey, Nelson! How are you doing? Are they busting your chops?

Debian is my daily driver and for regular people I help. Comes with a service card saying “it will work and you will like it”.

I help for free. If someone does not like it, they can pay to have what they want done. But they don’t get to ask for help again.

Debian

Enough said.

Still too rich for my blood

That sounds very nice!

I don’t have the money for a FairPhone.

But unplug from the net? Sounds strange. The model I checked is a fully fledged smartphone. Nothing that signaled the phone was about not having advanced functionalities.

We all should. Even go a bit further and write things by hand!

Nah.

Just returned to Debian after a few years away.

My previous distro would serve me warnings twice a day that updates were available.

But Debian?

“The machine is up and running. Now it’s your duty to check for updates. And install the programs you may need. Set things up as you want it. If you want it.”

It isn’t, I admit. But the first impression is intimidating.

Monolith is a word that fits Debian very well.

It’s like a landmark. It just exists and reality itself seems to bend around it.

I ran a Debian machine, a laptop, until the hardware literally gave up. Eight years of solid service. Regular updates and one reinstall to move to the next version.

It kept working. It kept playing music, playing videos, managing my office needs, surfing the web and receiving my email. Flawlessly.

It outperformed newer machines in its last years and people could not wrap their heads around the notion.

Debian, as a Linux+FOSS combo is a winner combo

True.

As someone that started in Linux, for real, with Debian, and in a time that I had to mannually install my graphics card, I learned the way I did things on Debian was significantly different from things got done on other distro families. That, alone, kept faithful to the Debian tree.

I’ve been in a situation like this recently and all I can say is that the CLI is universal.

Yes, it is complex. Yes, it is challenging. But it gets things done.

Don’t be afraid.

Going to separate houses for the night.

One way or another, we need to live. And it is impossible, for all practical purposes, to produce everything we need to lead a well balanced and reasonable life.

It holds a degree of validity, but like all absolutes, it leaves out everything between complete lack and total abuse.

Search enough and you’ll discover that every company on the planet has some shady stuff in the closet.

Best we can do is support the small, more ethical, companies and exploit to our best the others.
