There probably was a carpenter in Bethlehem with a name like Jeshua or a variant around that time.

The rest is embellishments.

Betteridge’s Law of headlines says “no”.

The posted article does address Peking University’s achievement, and the same treatment working in the US.

It’s a bit weird how it’s ‘a world first’ in the US though.

The bigger question is that if Debian and Ubuntu have conflicting policies, what does that mean for upstreaming changes from Ubuntu to Debian?

It would eventually result in Ubuntu drifting even farther from God Debian.

Also, downstream distributions from Ubuntu might themselves choose a conflicting policy with similar problems.

Or not too soon enough?

You mentioned you have VDSL. So you’ll still need your VDSL modem.

You will probably be able to configure it in pass-through mode or something similar so it will only do the modem functions and not the routing functions.

Then you can use anything you like as a router.

I use OpnSense on a dirt cheap ex-lease x86 SFF desktop. I also filled it with PCIe NIC’s. The only down side of that is it’s power-draw.

The main problem with systemd is bureaucratic rather than technical. Though the bureaucratic problems can manifest as technical problems.

True, it’s the reason I can’t help them.

Fortunately I use linux at work and at home for years now.

The rest of my family apparently hate themselves and use windows… I can now just use the excuse that it’s too long since I’ve used windows and can’t help.

Ooh I recognize that quote. Where’s/Who’s it from?

Ah it’s that sunscreen song.

It being a custom AMD APU will certainly help.

It’s still probably easier than trying to get anything to run on an Arm SOC and fighting device trees.

Just a reminder that this goes for the OS on the PlayStation too.

You don’t really own hardware that you don’t control either*.

* yeah, you do own the hardware, but if you can’t use it without a software license is it really yours?

Grub typically stores the uuid of the root filesystem in the kernel command line arguments (I can’t quite remember if that’s the right name it not).

Have a look at the grub configuration when in the grub menu and you should see it there.

Flaw. The flaw in my argument.

That was the point. There is no providence given for those numbers, so me pulling some more out of thin air is exactly as valid.

I’d have assumed at least 100m, maybe 200m, deaths for ol’ commies.

Let’s say I’m under estimating that by a factor of, say, ten?

Then it’s only about even.

But does it always turn left in the bottom half of the hour?

Kites are noisy.

flap flap flap…

Humming string etc.

“silent”

“powered by sound waves”

Pick one.

The AI summary stops me having to wade through an SEO quagmire.

It’s just the latest veneer over the enshittification.

Fortunately there’s usually a couple of sources cited so I can go and read them directly.

Indeed.

Make the ring ManifestV3, then it makes sense.
