Hyper-compartmentalization. Everything can be falling apart around me, high stakes, emergency, danger, but I just proceed calmly and steadily toward the goal. I am a rat in a maze, and each decision is just an ab node in a tree. I make best guesses and don't shoulda woulda. If I can't make it and everything is horrible, that was the outcome, I did the best I could with the knowledge/data given, or I put in what I felt was right, and if I'm wrong, oh well.

Be that as it may, email is still a bad candidate for file transfer, and a lot of third parties have restrictive limits on file size.

When enough people realize that it's that easy and it gets sufficiently widespread it'll eventually become a target.

Either they'll shut it down or laws will become restrictive enough to make using it illegal. It'll be the '90s and early 00's again they'll be dragging students and housewives into court.

There will always be enough people out there who refuse to put their payment identity online that torrents aren't going anywhere.

Hell, even torrents couldn't kill news groups.

Even if they open it up a lot of other places still limit 25 meg ingress.

That's a job for Dropbox or a web server or WebDav or any one of a million other things designed to move large files.

Lets encrypt could run a patreon and stay funded. Plenty of people with money depend on them.

Ansible's not all that bad. The alternatives are far more complicated.

Jeff geerling has a bunch of videos on ansible 101.

I think the concept is that the US produces significant amounts of rice and beans. Most of our corn goes to feed.

If we give up meat we could probably produce enough rice corn and beans to feed the US, but shortages and greed along the way will definitely drive the price up to unmanageable highs.

In southern climates it's not that hard to tend an acre garden, But it certainly not convenient or time efficient, and anybody who's not familiar is not going to be able to manage.

I've done hydroponic tomatoes and greens, I don't think I could feed a family of four out of my basement but I could definitely put a big dent in starvation.

It’s only difficult when you’re first figuring it out. Once you do, it’s not a big deal.

I've been using Photoshop and Gimp a lot over the last decade. There are a few things I like better in Photoshop and nothing I really like more in Gimp, but they're both absolutely serviceable.

I wish content-aware patch came by default in Gimp and I wish Gimp had more user-friendly macroing, but if I'm drawing circles in my photo editor, my first thought is why the hell am I not using a vector editor.

All these CEO's are getting cold calls from OpenAI, sitting through a 30 minute high pressure sales pitch that tells them they can do 3x the work with 1/3 the staff for a small monthly fee that scales with work done and they're all slobbering to buy it.

My mother was 100 lbs soaking wet, but MAN could she eat. There was a steamed shrimp buffet on the other side of the city.

Family rules: We were there for shrimp, if you a little salad that's ok, but stay away from the bread and the desserts, you can get those anywhere. You'd best eat at least three plates full

We'd eat and eat and eat and eat, then take a little break, then eat some more. Mom was skinny; dad was normal-sized, and I was a little chubby. OMG did we put away some shrimp.

Ansible if you want to do it the right way.

Or keep all of your configs in one tree and use syncthing on it If you want to phone it in. Turn on versioning call it a night.

 

I can remember the quote and voicing but no other details, can't place the episode

Something about flying around things trying to get somewhere

Professor gestures wildly with his hands left rightleft : "WooooWOoooWoooooo ... SAFE"

 

I just tooled around on sites for the top-ranked Futurama episodes, and no two media outlets even had similar lists. I was wondering what it would look like with a small group of diehard fans here.

Once the votes stop coming in, (assuming they start) I'll tabulate the results.

Just give up to 5 episodes in a comment and we'll see if any of the different outlets got it right.

**Update: **

8 Voters

25 Candidates

Assuming everyone's #1 is their best choice candidate and they decrease in order:

In a Ranked Choice Vote Single-Winner and Dual-Winner scenario, it takes 4 rounds and "Devils' Hands" takes first place. Luck of the Fryish takes second place with two.

I tried to recalculate it RCV style for a list of 3,4,5, but we don't have enough votes to make it work.

In other voting calculations:

Jurassic (4), Godfellas(3), and Devils' hands(3) won with the most overall votes.

Jurassic Bark won with the highest number of top votes after 2 rounds.
