Anyone else hear AC/DC when they saw this?

Except they didn’t get what they claim to have wanted, they got a result that is much worse for Palestinians.

Do not call a congressperson that isn’t your own. They are not required to listen to you, you are not their constituent.

Unless they happen to be chairing a committee that you have an opinion on.

Then it’s fair game.

Agreed. A mahogany veneer on top of bamboo doesn’t really count as “solid wood” in my book.

My kids only knew Linux from the first day they used a computer.

They didn’t have any difficulty transitioning between that at home and the chromebooks or windows desktops the school had.

Has been for as long as I can remember.

And the author is getting paid.

But people don’t want that.

Until something goes wrong and they discover (usually too late) that they actually did want that.

I’ve used old laptops as battery backed up NAS boxes.

Obviously assumes that you can install a reasonably large drive and that the battery still has some life left in it.

Sure, but that’s a long term project.

While that is happening, we can also take some small, cheap and fast steps to make biking safer.

Like better lighting.

I tried FreeBSD many years ago (back when I was on dialup and bought a book with the FreeBSD install CD included…).

At the time it was interesting to tinker with, and I did use it as a dual-boot on my Win95 computer, but I moved on to Linux when Knoppix came along.

At the time linux seemed more end user friendly.

Maybe I should spin up an install just for nostalgia sake, and to see where it’s at these days.

In my city the bike lanes and separated paths are mostly designed and routed for recreational cycling, not commuting.

In order to cycle in the typical commuting routes, you wither have to go far out of your way, or travel on the most congested streets mingled in with the rest of the commuters.

It’s also on the cusp of a major upgrade release, so good documentation of the latest version’s features will be in high demand very soon.

as long as it’s convenient

That’s the big caveat.

In my city, even driving on the congested streets during rush hour, it took my wife 35-40 min to get to her old job by car, or almost 2 hours by bus.

It’s no wonder fewer people take the bus when those are the choices you are faced with.

Multiple TB when setting up a new server to mirror an existing one. (Did an initial copy with both together in the same room, before moving the clone to a physically separate location. Doing that initial copy would saturate the network connection for a week or more otherwise)

I relied on my handbrake a lot when I was driving a manual in hilly cities.

The only reason I paid for Lightburn in the first place is because it’s the only even slightly mature laser software that supports Linux.

Given this news, what are our options?

LagerGRBL seems to be open source, but nobody packages that for Linux as far as I can tell.

And I wasn’t able to find anything else when I was looking last year.

What was the last version of Windows you used before hopping on over?

Windows95

I got sick of constantly dealing with the BSOD.

Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.

It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.

The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.

it will just crash on you before you even find out

Older versions may have had issues with that, but I haven’t encountered any crashing in over 2 years. (And I i do 6 youtube videos per month with it)
