I'd like to thank someone -- who asked to stay anonymous -- with donating 2 build servers for Linux-libre. You know who you are.

If they love it so much where is the Windows 7 source code that was asked for? :)

In a vault. M$ "loves" open source software, not free software, because that way they get free labour and continue to hold captive their users.
Number 5 Is Alive?

An odd sight: A golden number 5 just floated by within view of my window. It was a balloon. Someone must have lost it.

I found 9 old hard drives in a box while moving. They range from 500MB to 80GB. I'm going through them them one by one to see what's on them. First one had nothing on it. Looks to have been reformatted. I'm wiping the drive with GNU Shred because I don't recall what used to be on it. Then repeat.
Puff, the Magic Dragon
2020-03-31T03:08:54Z via Pumpa To: Public
The Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS) is super weird in a lovable way. Did you know that Puff, the Magic Dragon lives in ITS? It's like a syslog daemon but in the ITS vocabulary, the idea of a "daemon" is instead called a "dragon" so of course they'd put Puff in there. This is before operating systems got all boring and "professional" and whatnot.
I want more dragons on my GNU! 😡

I bought 4 pounds of peanut butter (about 1.81kg for you metric people.) Is that crazy?

I've noticed that the cat always wants to smell me before he lets me pet him. Is he checking if I am still me?
He doesn't want you rubbing weird smells on him 😆

Computers are everywhere, even in your chargers: https://forrestheller.com/Apollo-11-Computer-vs-USB-C-chargers.html
Your charger could send you to the moon.

Sadly, the windy weather made it unsafe to shoot off the fireworks that were set up to go along with the light display.
I'm afraid you'll just have to imagine fireworks shooting off from the Space Needle in coordination with the lights and music.

very wrong that NC means 'No Community' in the context of music.There are plenty of other examples, but http://ccmixter.org/ sticks out.But Chris' primary point is about FLOSS, and I 100% agree in that context.ShoeTool
