I think that's just one of the official binary penguins that were released last month.

Thanks, I'm in Glasgow...which translates to 'Dear Green Place'.

It does indeed, thank you.

Don't often read about a mushroom that was considered edible until ~1940's. Sneaky assassin.

Was worried for a minute I might not even be running linux, but neofetch has saved the day.

[-] SnailMagnitude@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Shit, you've just reminded me I've been running this install for months now and I don't even have neofetch installed.

Sorting immediately, not sure how I've managed these last few month.

I've not come across this packaging before and can't see any trademark.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this, nugs ain't too dense either.

What is this? (mander.xyz)

Found in UK, not stumbled upon this before.

Ohhh, nice find.

It's still on my bingo card to find in the wild.

Not had this stuff in many years.

A friend brought it back from Japan and told me it was either sencha or hojicha but I think I got lucky.

My beloved clay kyusu died some time ago, this is my charity shop backup kyusu. Not a looker but makes a fine cup of Japanese tea.

My daughter is starting a college computing course next month and has been told they will be using linux.

She has a fairly recent, last 5yrs or less I think, intel macbook but knows nothing about linux or vm's.

I advised her to install Ubuntu in a VM when she asked about it, she asked how to do this. Initial thought is Virtualbox but I've not used MacOS since well before it became MacOS nor used VirtualBox in many years, have heard of new shiny new things like UTM, Parallels & VMWare.

Is it a reasonable suggestion to just use VirtualBox? Is there a better option?

Bit of a dad moment; "Just install Linux and then I can help you", "But how do I install Linux dad?"

In my early teens I stumbled upon Charlie Parker, stuff like Salt Peanuts made a big impact.

The past decade or so I've been enjoying Pharaoh Sanders, John Gilmour & others......only just stating to really appreciate the genius of John.

The past few years Albert Ayler has made me smile even more than Charlie, John (Coltrane or Gilmour), or Pharaoh did with this & this sorta stuff.

I'm a big fan of John Coltrane but the noises Albert makes on his horn seem to often be a wonderful step beyond John.

Who are your sax heroes and which tracks do you love and return to?

linked added to the OP....odd, I posted it as a link, but added an image which seems to be the only visible content.

Sorry, new here & confused by stuff.

From Ted, the ext4 maintainer, on the LKML a few days ago.

The thread is about mainlining bcachefs but the post from Ted, who from what little I know seems about as trustworthy as ext4 has been over the past few decades, gives an interesting overview of the business approaches to software of IBM, Red Hat, Google & Sun Microsystems.

Of general interest to myself but mainly posting as it seems relevant to the recent changes in RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, Alma & Fedora over the past few weeks/years and gives some context of how we got where we are from ~2010.

We need more threads about not talking about that thing that we have been talking about too much.p

Early days but I'm using this which makes it feel a little bit more like old Reddit.
