The joke is this, but updated with modern memes

I still have my great grandfather’s torches and pitchforks in the family armory, so I’m ready for the next stage also.

The Father -> Richard Stallman

The Son -> Linus Torvalds

The Holy Ghost -> GNU+Linux

The Holy Temple -> Arch Linux

Uhh, it’s GNU/Linux actually

Another tip: Be careful linking images from hosts that you don’t control.

You don’t want to come back and find your funny.gif picture is now displaying a goatse.

and also, because the OG situation:

After discovering the robbery, the bank installed doors and locks.

The earth has enough microplastics.

I’ve heard that the best billionaires really love Greenland, just let them roam free in northern Greenland (wouldn’t want to annoy any actual Greenlanders). Don’t worry about them, these Masters of Industry will pull themselves up by their bootstraps and have a fire and shelter in no time.

I’m waiting for the Rust re-write.

We know that the chosen one is out there, they have yet to make themselves known.

A meme? Lying? I can’t believe it,

3/3/26 never forget

Primarily, there are a few EAC games that haven’t checked the ‘Linux allowed’ box yet.

They’re giving good advice but, in my opinion, they are using the reputation of Mullvad to ‘privacy-wash’ their public image by associating with a trusted brand.

WhatsApp is not a secure messaging service, your messages are not private. Being end to end encrypted doesn’t mean anything if both ends are compromised by having the app installed on them (or being vendor rooted).

Nobody is deploying these at scale to harvest water to sell, it’s way too expensive. Probably even more so than desalination.

These kinds of devices would be useful in areas where they didn’t have access to preexisting infrastructure. There the comparison would be between operating one of these devices or air lifting water in by helicopter. The fact that it’s expensive isn’t as much a concern when the alternative is to pay for airlift delivery.

As someone who has thought about it, could you provide the data that you used to come to the conclusion that the amount of water being extracted from the air has any appreciable effect on local life?

From my thinking…

Death Valley covers 7800km^2.. Atmospheric moisture is typically contained in the first 10km of air. So there is somewhere around 2.5 quadrillion cubic feet of air containing 114 billion gallons of water.

The average Atmospheric Water Vapour Residence Time is around 8 days The median is 5 days and Death Valley’s topography is a valley which would trap more moisture, but we’ll use the average instead.

This represents a moisture turnover rate of about 625,000 Liters/second (or 1.45x10^10 gallons/day).

So, one of these devices would consume .000185% of the moisture that enters Death Valley every day.

Looks like this is a common enough issue:

When in doubt, look into the Arch and Gentoo wikis they have good information that’s usually applicable to you even if you’re not using them (mostly).

You take that back

That would depend on the notification application that you’re using.

Give me any details that you can think of. Software version, things you’ve tried, etc. I’ll look into it after work

Do sounds work sometimes and then stop or is it that they’re playing but the output is set to muted by default?
