  • I’m splitting hairs by defining modern as an electronic device whose design was copied in essence by all future makers.

    The essence of every vape is to move hot air through the herb. In that regard it doesn’t matter how you heat it, so the chalice beats it out.

    As for the specific technology, aren’t the only designs that copied it in essence volcano like bag desktops? A tiny fraction of modern devices pushes air.

    Now compare that to the majority of modern vapes, from dyna and terpcicle, over ball vapes, to electric conduction and convection. All of them move the hot air by having the user draw it, just like the steam chalice.





  • Ok, except I did predict it. It turns them both into strings and gives you “12”. I checked it.

    I would assume [1] + [2] would give you either 0 or 2, but maybe “12”.

    I can totally predict the future like that. Tomorrow it might rain, it might not, or it might snow. Want me to predict your future for a small donation? Here’s a small teaser: tomorrow you might or might not eat breakfast.

    My mystical powers lay the creation bare before me, all is predictable!




  • They invented a solution to sell user data to Amazon, does that count?

    They also have a bunch of knock-off products like canonical aws, canonical terraform-ansible, canonical k8s, etc.

    This isn’t a decade ago, when Ubuntu was … leagues more generally user friendly than most other distros.

    It was crap a decade ago that’s why everyone was already installing mint, and only slightly less crap almost 2 decades ago. I installed Linux for the first time around 2006, and Ubuntu was no different than one of the first versions of opensuse. The whole “Ubuntu is for beginners” hype was literally all due to them sending free install CDs.

    one of the most popular linux desktop environments and distros

    Oh you mean the DE they abandoned almost 10 years ago?

    Is selling user data to Amazon and harvesting data illegally from Azure VMs not enough for users to tell them to stick their terminal ads up their ass? I don’t think that’s unfair.



  • Definitely take everything I write with a grain of salt, as it might have no relevance to your job market.

    If you’re just tired of living paycheck to paycheck, I don’t think those certs will solve anything. Afaik they can only get you a tech support, or maybe some entry level network engineering job. Over here you’ll make more money doing construction, and the only upside of a tech support job is that you’ll be sitting in a chair instead of breaking your back.

    A few years down the line, you might be able to transition into better paid roles, but those fields are already quite saturated, and I’ve been seeing more and more companies requiring technical degrees even for junior roles. I know a few people who’ve been doing tech/customer support, and the closest someone came to moving up was getting stuck with managerial duties without any pay increase.

    On the other hand, in the EU at least, while the whole IT market is quickly getting oversaturated, skilled blue collar work is only getting more expensive due to a lack of workers. For example my cousin has a CS PhD, he founded and built up a dev outsourcing company, and he makes less per hour than the tiler he hired to redo his bathroom.

    And I don’t see that trend changing any time soon. Competent workers are getting close to retirement, and the new generations aren’t interested in replacing them.


    1. There are plenty of guides and books on the internet. Look for what’s recommended now on Reddit.

    2. That really depends on how much you want to grow, and your budget. You need an enclosed space if you’re not going to grow autos, lights, fans, substrate and fertiliser.

    I’m assuming you’re on a budget, so:

    The enclosed space can be anything from a 300$+ tent to two stacked buckets or a wheelie trashcan. Hell, even a big cardboard box should do for a grow or 2. The only requirement is that you can limit light, and can ventilate.

    For the lights, if you’re on a budget use led lightbulbs and remove the diffuser. Phillips had the best lm:w ratio when I was doing it. Check on Reddit for specific guides, but if I remember correctly you need 20-30w/ft2, 4000k for both veg and flowering. When you get skilled, you’ll get slightly over 1g/w. Get a mechanical timer as well for the day-night cycle.

    Fans: used pc fans are a good temporary measure, but a toilet extractor fan is much better for not a lot of money.

    Substrate and fert: I suggest coco coir. It requires watering till runoff 1-2 times a day, and you have to learn how to make nutrient solutions, but IMO it’s far easier and cheaper than soil or pure hydro. Later on you can automate it with a couple of tanks and a water pump.

    Go to a farm store and get 3 staged fertiliser bags (usually like 1 bag for seedlings, 1 for veg, 1 for flowering and fruiting), and a bag of calcium. Tomatoes and weed have extremely similar requirements so ask the staff for help, and to suggest to you a brand that’s used for drip systems (it means they’re completely water soluble).

    For the best results, look for a fert with no C. That way you can make a big batch of concentrated solution and it won’t grow bacteria.

    WARNING: special weed fertilisers in bottles are a complete scam, avoid them. Dry fertiliser for farmers is the way to go.

    You’ll also need litmus strips and some acid. I got these at a hydro store.

    From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago

    • sees an error message, doesn’t read it
    • starts pasting random shit into the terminal
    • breaks the system
    • Fuck Linux, it’s not ready for use
    • after the Linux community has a meltdown, someone points out to him that he’s an idiot, but in a gentle way you’d tell your boss
    • tries again, gives up again
    • films another video on how windblows just works, while he, a certifiable tech genius, couldn’t get it to work

    Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.

    Not who you asked, but:

    • sxkhd: no global hotkey daemons allowed except the compositor

    • i3wm inside of xfce/plasma: every compositor is implemenyed as a monolithic DE, fuck modularity

    I still switched to Wayland, but can’t be bothered to customise a new wm
