They got @geoff back at the helm at css-tricks.com/ he's been doing great cleaning the design up and getting content flowing, including big beefy guides. He's doing better than I ever did, so that's a win.


If you're an EU citizen and you hate DRM and planned obsolescence, here's an easy petition for you to sign:

TL;DR: If online-only DRM servers shut down, publishers would be required to keep your game working regardless.

Only targets video games because that is where this practice is by far the most prevalent today, but it would set a precedent that we might soon need for things like phones, cars, and all the other things that are increasingly getting CPUs shoved inside them.

People always ask about the anime figures on my shelf, no one ever questions the skull though, why not?

Death Of A Legendary Gentoo Linux Based Distro #Linux #YouTube youtu.be/yx9BCsXUeZY
in reply to Brodie Robertson

I remember all this stuff going on back in the day.

We were running #Gentoo in production at a research facility at the time and it was, umm, interesting, as the quality of the portage tree was very uneven during this time.

Directly related, maybe... maybe not. Shenanigans certainly didn't help I'd expect.

We moved to #Centos in ~2008 IIRC. We were #Redhat before Gentoo so it was a 'comfy old shoes' move.



I think this view is towards Bowfell, but I'm not sure. From Dungeon Ghyll facing west.
