Biden tries again at student loan cancellation, for those in financial hardship
  • That's awesome! my wife didn't qualify unfortunately (lucky it's not a big amount of money) but I'm glad there are people who do and they are getting what they deserve. This should help so many out there that are in a tough position. This is what tax money should be used for, along with infrastructure, medieval bills, education, and any other thing that benefits us as a whole.

  • What are your top 5 horror movies?
  • The Fly (1986) X 28 Days Later Hereditary The Silence of the Lambs

    Not specifically in that order, but those are some of my favorites as of late. The list changes from time to time.

  • What was your first operating system or Linux Distribution?
  • Windows 95, Knoppix and Mandrake Linux.

  • How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?
  • Maybe 1-2 hours a week for ~23 docker containers, 3 LXCs and proxmox, so not much. Most of that time is spend SSH-ing doing minor updates. Running Debian on everything has been amazing. Stability is just phenomenal.

  • mv Windows Linux
  • That "lol" at the end broke me, was laughing for like 5 minutes.

  • Foreign landlord fails to pay taxes, CRA goes after tenant
  • I'm a bit drunk so i had to read your post 3 times before i understood, well played.

  • Yeah yeah, we know you're special
  • This made me chuckle, thank you!!

  • Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?
  • Same! Distrohopped for years, but for ~15 years Debian has been rock solid for both desktop and home minimal server.

  • Judge fines Trump more than $300 million, bars from running businesses in New York for three years
  • So much winning!! /s

    I like that last part where he's barred from running businesses in NY.

  • The NYPD Spent $150 Million to Catch Farebeaters Who Cost the MTA $104,000
  • Message received, they are clowns.

  • China poised to break 5nm barrier — Huawei lists 5nm processor presumably built with SMIC tech, defying U.S. sanctions | Huawei and SMIC quietly rolled out a new Kirin 9000C processor.
  • Makes sense, my tiny brain couldn't formulate half of the stuff you included in your reply. I have been reading the news about Nvidia and their cards, and it also makes sense that if the money doesn't have to be spent because there are easier ways to get the tech, then that should be the first things to try.

  • Thank you for your perspective. Why is this a big IF? Wouldn't China have seen the writing on the wall years ago? 20-30 years ago that their path was going to put them at odds with western countries? I get that developing new chips takes years, maybe decades, but hasn't China had that time already? Is is possible that intel provided to western countries such as what the US currently knows of China could be behind to what they are building? The US has done great things in secret, developed a lot of technology under their military resources, is it too hard to believe that China, and maybe others have done the same and have been able to keep it a secret as well? After all, many new technologies could be considered national security. Maybe I'm just naive, dumb, or have been watching too many movies but i find it hard to believe that China has become a super power in many aspects, one of them their intelligence capital, yet western countries are still surprised at what they can achieve or produce.

  • I think i understand some of the words on that article, but here's my question, why does the US think that another country cannot recreate these products? Or is it that they don't want to accept the fact that it can be done without their knowledge/expertise/input? Again, this is coming from someone who doesn't know anything about the chip making process but is interested in the idea that other countries do have the resources, intelligence, and most of all the money to create such chips? Is the chip making process such a difficult thing that the US expects no other country to do it? (serious question)

  • Can you please recommend an easy to use music trimmer?

  • Had not heard about it, but thanks for posting about it. Trying it out now, so far so good.
