Ubuntu 6.06 was my first Linux install. I still remember the pain of ndiswrapper to get Windows WiFi drivers working on Linux.

The waifu pillow freaking sent me. Haha.

Specifically educated people, in this case, because they tend to skew Left.

He already got one. He was guilty and got away with it anyway cuz 'Merica or some shit.

They mention their equipment is legacy and only supports Windows 10. An Airgapped VM of Windows 10 is a good option to continue supporting legacy hardware.

Not sure if you’re using a desktop or laptop (unclear if you’re doing DJ stuff for mixing privately or gigging on the road), but hardware passthrough through something like SR-IOV would make latency a non-issue.

However, I get what you’re saying. I was more thinking of the “I want to run this on a legacy operating system for as long as I can” aspect of things. Eliminating the concern of the hardware no longer supporting a more modern operating system was what I was trying to get at. Sorry if that didn’t come through.

Why not encapsulate Windows 10 in a VM? You can run it indefinitely as long as you don’t give it Internet.

Somehow Palp…I mean Pope returned.

If a process closes immediately from the shutdown command because it isn’t doing anything, sure.

Depends on the process. Can be 30 seconds. Can be 5 minutes.

Linux gives processes a chance to gracefully close. However, it also will absolutely NOT allow a process to hang up the shutdown or restart procedure after a point. If you’re using systemd (which there is a good chance you are), it’ll count down. If the process hasn’t stopped in the time allotted, it gets Old Yellered.

So…

1. Not a Thorium reactor

2. Didn’t produce any power

So China still has a win here.

I appreciate it, but I just got a new phone because I needed a new one recently. I wish it could have been something like a Fairphone, but thems the breaks.

Unfortunately Telecomms in Australia seem to have a pissing contest on who can screw consumers more, America or Aussie companies.

For 4G. 5G is fine.

Really wish Fairphone would come to the US. I’d spend the money on it, but they only half-ass sold the last gen phone here on the US.

I don’t even understand why. They support most 4G and every mid and low band 5G in America. Even if I could just import it, I’d be happy.

And I’ll continue to not buy them and support indie developers instead.

I just finished working four 12 hour shifts dealing with morons and shitty people, Mike. I’ll play some god damn video games if I want to.

If you get with one of your local Meshtastic groups, there will likely already be a bunch of people who use it. I joined a local group in San Antonio, TX and there are around 205 nodes run by a few dozen people throughout the city.

Obviously rural areas are going to be less people, but you’d be surprised how many people run it already.

“They yearn for the mines, obviously. Why do you think the kids play so much Minecraft?” -Some Republican, probably-
