The theme to Star Trek IV. Underrated.

Also like the Klingon theme.

Best Trek movie.

After 26 years of using Linux, I did my first baremetal "immutable" distro install last week.

My youngest son is starting school and instead of the Chromebooks that they recommend, I took a chance and installed Fedora Silverblue on a $200 Lenovo "student-rugged" class laptop. Everything works and he hasn't had any issues so far. He gets access to the same student platform as the other students through Chrome, but then I can install Minetest and Tux Paint and GCompris as well.

The older kids run Debian stable for years now, but if this works out, I might transition them over next semester.

I love the old Mac Pros and even built a trashcan setup for Debian a few years ago. But TBH, they use a lot of electricity for the processing power they provide. If you already have one or can get one for free, great, use it. Linux runs great. But I wouldn't go to OWC and buy something that would be outperformed by a fanless, low TDP machine these days.

They don't have a choice. About a third of Jakarta is already below sea level. It's sinking fast and the rains are becoming heavier and unprecedented more often. About a quarter of the city will be underwater in 25 years.

It's a gamble. Design a new planned city with 60% rainforest now and in 75 years it will be a new metropolis but better thought out and with sustainability in mind while other cities fall into the ocean.

Yes. At one employer, we had an entire domain in our AD forest that was Red Hat / CentOS / Ubuntu workstations for the developers.

Nobody was punished for Iraq either.

No. There's no way to enforce the law. A frontrunner for President was killed in the streets of Quito not long ago and tanks were rolling through the streets when the cartels were at war. A crane operator expecting mother was killed not that long ago for operating for the wrong people.

Ecuador has given human rights to nature since 2014 or so. It's not difficult to see why it is so politically unstable. Only when global demand subsides will Ecuador be able to enforce its own democratic law.
