Just feel things are very different now. Much harder to fight/work around with govt. And this leads to my 2nd link that, kinds of conspiracy, that we maybe already have backdoor in open source projects because they are hard to detect as long as there are pre-build tools.

Anyway, lots of feelings after reading this post…

Haha, and I smiled when I looking for the single quote in your password and sure it is there👍👍

Maybe because Linux rarely die?

This is a good read. And also looks like it does mentioned unredeemed gc balance can be (partially) considered as breakage income? ( I don’t know anything about accounting, just want to point this out)

So it is some between 2.5c to $5 kwh. Is this even possible? I scanned linked 2 pages could not find any price chart.

I am wondering if similar can happen in stock market, a penny stock no one is trading, you decide to buy/sell 1 share $10000 to yourself. Then suddenly every owner become millionaire? At least on paper, right, right? /s

Full of ‘excuses’, don’t want to repeat, you can google many articles about gpl violation (or not). My opinion is this is bad. Your based on thousand other people’s free/open source work, and added your work, if you want to limit/restrict public access, then don’t use gpl based linux, go back to your AIX. ( This restriction is violation GPL, I know lawyer with huge money can argue anything, so again imo)

Haha, TSR, man, good old memories… Is there a famous TSR called sidekick? Chain of CD 09H… :)

No, you can run it on your own homelab just fine. If you don’t have it already, you just need a (usually free) dynamic subdomain so your instance have a normal URL instead of IP.

yeah, I agree with you, for anyone new to debian maybe should follow official suggestion. But as user using debian so long, I think I understand the risk (of course the benefit) of my setup. Maybe I will try sid someday. Have a nice day!

Want share my 2c as I prefer testing over sid. It is balance which side you want. Sid got break more freq but also fixed more quickly. Testing has less break but fix also come slowly. For me I prefer less break. So I setup preference/policy to get testing higher than sid. This is not for breakage/fix nor security fix. This is about package available. I think Firefox is one example that testing only has esr so it will install latest from sid and most other packages still tracking testing. Again personal choices and that’s beauty of Linux.

Just curious if you turn yourself in to police everytime you speeding.
