Get this, those billionaires control the production and distribution of these basic necessities, and attributing a monetary figure to it is the problem. It doesn’t cost money, it costs labor. You get the labor in exchange for fun stuff. This is the crux of the issue. We need a system that can’t be gamed to incentivize hoarding whatever it is we use to denote the worth of labor, as cash does today.

It has nothing to do with cost, it has to do with ridding the problem of the people hoarding the excess wealth for the benefit of an arbitrary group. Where the labor comes do the profits go. If a private individual puts in labor, and that generates a profit from itself, then yeah, they get that. They earned that. The nuance is that they have a community, infrastructure, all of the things supporting their ability to do anything, so any profit comes from the community in some fashion.

We need to get rid of systems of hoarding. 100% tax above whatever 100x the poverty line is, for everyone, that gets dumped into government coffers to subsidize all essential labor. This incentivizes the extra profits to go to the UBI coffers instead of individuals while still giving a huge ceiling to make extra money for labor that generates profit.

I’m just reiterating what Marx was saying. We need to stop focusing on the money aspect and focus on the labor.

Well, I would start by booting from the GRUB command line. Using the install media can work to fix the system, but this is getting into chroot territory and there is no reason to believe the system isn’t working. Just not booting. Much simpler to use the grub rescue terminal to force a boot, then run all of the grub goodness from there. Basically, if it boots from the disk in rescue it guarantees grub/efi is mounted where it needs to be, from there grub-install on its own should just work. Also, make sure the config you are feeding grub-install is set to output a boot option. When in doubt use the default config, it should work fine.

Fine, I’ll be the guy. Sounds like grub-install isn’t writing the configuration to the right place. My first check would be what grub config is being used, then work on replacing that with the one generated by grub-install.

You know what would make more sense?

NO PAPER

Fuck printers.

You will probably be best served with an industrial label printer, I used one while working in a grocery store to make tags. They come in toner varieties, so no thermal paper issues, and they are made to be portable. That being said, they are not at all cheap or simple. You are wanting to look into two companies, Zebra and Symbol, specifically at their mobile printers.

To be fair, what you are asking for is nigh impossible without going thermal, and the reason can be summed up by one question: Where do you plan on putting the ink?

UART consoles and model train control systems come to mind.

I would like to point out that actors are usually contractually obligated to maintain a specific appearance. Stamos may literally have not been able to shave his head in solidarity, so while seemingly noncommittal I think there could be more to the gesture. As you say, Dave is the only authority on the matter either way.

The problem with this is primarily that windows uses NTFS as it’s filesystem. Being proprietary, NTFS has never played well with Linux and installing it to an NTFS partition is regarded as a genuinely terrible idea. Converting partitions safely is nearly impossible to do in place.

You don’t need a modchip to get a HDD to work, you can flash the drive with FreeHDBoot and just plug it in to the PS2.

Guam Dynamo? I know it had a really ritzy sounding name

Incognito mode and reopening closed tabs.

I have no issue with LTT as a whole, I just really don’t like Linus. He portrays an almost weaponized incompetence in a lot of computing topics and doesn’t accurately represent his own lack of understanding to the audience that couldn’t tell on their own. By all accounts there is one hell of a team working there, they just chose a really bad face to represent the actual content.

Just my personal take for what it’s worth.

Good, I think it’s hilarious and if they don’t they can fuck off. I love having the freedom to criticize and hold accountable the public figures in society. They don’t hold themselves accountable.

Yeah, and the consequence of them using the dataset is massive amounts of people contribute useful data to the project. It is a fair exchange in my opinion. There are lots of reasons to hate Pokemon Go, but this isn’t one of them. You can use the maps too, and they are far better as a result of PGO using them.

That’s an insulting way to haggle though. If $40 is a slightly below fair price and $45 is agreeable to both then that’s both a simple and pleasant transaction. Offering to haggle then refusing to haggle by doing that is insulting the same way as severely low balling.

Maltesers

Haha, unfortunately no. None of the blades used a windowing system, so we technically wouldn’t have been able to as there is no graphical output (well, the IPMI controllers could have, but that’s kind of cheating). Although, as I’m thinking about it… We probably could have run it over ASCII graphics in a terminal… Man, that was a bit of a wasted opportunity, weather modelling is boring as hell.

We were running meteorological models mostly, but I did have a colleague that was trying to use it to predict wildlife migratory patterns using topographical mapping. It was batched out on a few projects at any given time while I was there, it was essentially timeshares between a few different research departments.

It’s more of an operating cost issue. It’s almost decade-old hardware. It was efficient in its day, but compared to new hardware it just costs so much to run you would be better served investing in something with modern efficiency. It won’t be junked, it will be parted out. If you are someone that wants a cheap homelab with infiniband and shitloads of memory you could pick up a blade for a fraction of what it would otherwise cost. I fully expect it to turn into thousands of reasonably powerful servers for the prosumer and nerd markets instead of running as a monolithic cluster.

Hey, I have worked on this exact machine before, neat to see they are finally decommissioning it. It would be a terrible purchase to actually use these days though, for the cost of moving and deploying it you could rock a few Hopper or Grace clusters that would outperform the cluster for less than half of the operating overhead.

I fully expect it to get parted out, the actual components would be far more useful on their own as cheap homelab systems, and would be a much better ROI versus using it as is. This thing is water cooled, just the plumbing would be a nightmare to deal with if you aren’t set up for it, and if you are you would be better off going with a modern architecture anyway.
