Washinton state doesn't have any state income tax, supports gun rights and doesn't care how you dress or if you're gay. It's rare to find that many freedoms in a single place. It's certainly more free than Texas or Flordia. And it's way warmer than it should be for being that far North.
Interesting. I guess this is why the government takes the taxes out of people's paychecks each week. Then paople can refuse to file, but they've already paid.
I think it's a pretty fair price considering Walmart lists 6oz of an unspecified variety of apple at $9.62, and you have to pay in fiat, and you'd be supporting the empire of Walmart more than the producer, and if that didn't stop you, then the fact that they're out of stock will!

Basically every AMD CPU being sold today has what it takes to run Qubes. Their video cards are preferred over any other brand too.
Look, just because I utterly destroyed your insinuation that Qubes doesn't run on AMD doesn't mean you have to go grasping for straws. Just take this as a learning opportunity. You can still hate on Qubes. Just hate on it for something accurate, like not running on a Raspberry Pi (yet)
Doing server maintenance today. Or rather, updating the scripts that configure my servers in a reproducable manner.
Feels good to make such progress, even though there's no externally visible changes.
I want to find more #SelfHosters on here who are #SelfHosting and we can share ansible playbooks back and forth.
As I said, I use AMD CPUs, not Intel.
I'm testing USB passthtu to a physical hardware device, so virtual machines are not the solution here, and it's not very often I say THAT.
Oh, that was you!
I'm right there with you on the AMD front.
I've had a laptop that had some weird problems with the installer. I tried a bunch of creative solutions and ended up returning the laptop and buying one from the Qubes Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Worked perfectly the first time, restored all my qubes and was back up and running in a few hours. Had all my files, settings, browser tabs, command history.
As long as you have current backups (and you should), changing computers is a dream come true with Qubes.
This motherboard is the first time I've had trouble when picking hardware from the HCL. It may be that the unit I have is defective and just ordering another of the exact same make and model would fix everything.
Next I tried my previous desktop. Of look, no power supply. Easy enough to rectify.
Oh listen, beep codes. Turned our to be memory issue (seating dust, bad slot... whatever it was it's not happening now).
Booted and grub said it was Ubuntu 14.10! Wow, what a throwback. It turned out it was actually 16.04, but that's still pretty old. Worked fine though.
The CPU was an AMD Phenom II X4 965, which was from 2009. It's 3.4 GHz, but, unsurprisingly, it didn't have IOMMU support and so I couldn't run Qubes on there. The installer didn't even manage get into grub. Some error about i386 modukes not found (which is peculiar, since this is a 64-bit CPU).
So the search continues...
I tried to find a computer I could install Qubes 4.2 on in order to do some testing.
First was a Xeon server. Booted the installer media, got grub and selected the installer... black screen. Bust. But it's a server, so not a huge surprise, but I was hoping.
It's starting to warm up. Time to think about tapping your maple trees.

I now have about 2.4 gallons of sap. If memory serves me right, that should make about a pint of syrup. The sap will be in the fridge until I get around to processing it.
It takes a long time to boil down and I'm told you can not stop partwat through and resume later. Not sure why or if it's true, but I see no reason to test this claim. 🙂
Is there an #OpenSource #nostr client for #Android that has spell checking?
It's bizarre to see an app re-invent the text input field, losing all the benefits like built-in spell checking, the ability to consistently paste text where the cursor is without having to overwrite any text. I mean, if you're going to re-invent it, at least have these really basic features implemented
TIL: this exists https://circuitpython.org/
I plan on taking it for a spin on my next tiny MCU project.
You got another follower. 😃
I look forward to when you get to a post about coefficient of performance and comparing bitcoin mining to things like ground source heat pumps.
Based on the post I just read, I expect you have enough knowledge to be comfortable covering the topic.
Thanks for posting about this. Most people don't talk about it, but your experience is typical.
I hope it will change, but there's not much incentive to pay a significant amount for what's free. Same thing with community funded radio, open source software, services like wikipedia, archive.org... the list goes on.
Anyway, you have +1 follower now and I have you a little zap
I might sell the dehydrated apple chunks I've been making, but not the maple syrup (yet). I'm too new at making maple syrup and it comes out tasting weird. It's sweet and edible, but there's just something about it that's not quite right.
I'm not sure if it's because we don't really have the correct type of maple (it's a norway maple, not a sugar maple), or if I just need to level up my skills.
Hopefully one of these batches will come out right and I'll know it's not the tree.
Hard to say without knowing the root cause. I'd say freeze the wifi module first. That might automatically lock you to an older kernel if the new kernels changed the interface, but it'll give you the best chance at keeping as mich code updated as possible.
If the issue is not in the driver, then it's likely that freezing both will address the wifi issue.
I can't guarantee this will fix the freeze when the desktop environment loads, but if not, we can try to troubleshoot that separately
