The original interview is no longer available, but here are references.

Microsoft CEO and incontinent over-stater of facts Steve Ballmer said that "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches," during a commercial spot masquerading as a interview with the Chicago Sun-Times on June 1, 2001.

Ballmer was trying to articulate his concern, whether real or imagined, that limited recourse to the GNU GPL requires that all software be made open source.

"The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source," Ballmer explained to an excessively credulous, un-named Sun-Times reporter who, predictably, neglected to question this bold assertion.

As @damium@programming.dev says you may be able to do this with find command. This command lists all PDF files under ~/tmp that were created more than 7 days ago and does a directory listing. You could use this as a basis to move create an archive of individual files.

find ~/tmp -ctime +7 -iname "*pdf" -exec ls -rlht {} \;

The find command also has a -delete flag.

I have in the past used this combination to implement file management. I don't have access to the script any more. I don't remember why we used a shell script rather than logrotate as per @oddityoverseer@lemmy.world

Go to https://rpilocator.com/ and filter by your "region" and check for yourself. Most models seems to be available. The Rapsberry Pi 5 is available for pre-order from a number of suppliers.

I have pre-ordered one for delivery in October. If you look at https://rpilocator.com/ you will find various models in stock at the official price. The Raspberry Pi clearly isn't the tool for you

YMMV, but here are some reasons

• Some people prefer to use Linux.
• Some software runs better on Linux than Windows or Mac (e.g. Docker runs natively on Linux but on Windows and Mac the Docker desktop creates a Linux VM to run Docker on).
• You have a portable, local development environment without Virtual Machines.

I have a laptop that belongs to my employer and a personal Linux laptop. It is quicker to use the Linux machine than to work out if I can now install WSL 2 or find a Linux instance to do some Linux work.

I searched for "nicotine addiction" and found a number of links to reputable bodies. I have put some of them above.

Some sources disagree with your claim.

Mayo Clinic

Nicotine dependence occurs when you need nicotine and can't stop using it. Nicotine is the chemical in tobacco that makes it hard to quit. Nicotine produces pleasing effects in your brain, but these effects are temporary. So you reach for another cigarette.

The more you smoke, the more nicotine you need to feel good. When you try to stop, you experience unpleasant mental and physical changes. These are symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Centre for Addition and Public Health

In the past, it was believed that because nicotine does not cause intoxication or impairment, using tobacco was simply a bad habit, not an addiction. Today, nicotine is recognized as the very addictive drug found in tobacco products.

Nicotine dependence (also called tobacco addiction) involves physical and psychological factors that make it difficult to stop using tobacco, even if the person wants to quit.

John Hopkins

Both e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes contain nicotine, which research suggests may be as addictive as heroin and cocaine. What’s worse, says Blaha, many e-cigarette users get even more nicotine than they would from a combustible tobacco product: Users can buy extra-strength cartridges, which have a higher concentration of nicotine, or increase the e-cigarette’s voltage to get a greater hit of the substance.

From the Windows Community

Does Windows 11 allow Windows 95 compatible computer games? ... It really depends on the game, you might get some working, some might not. It is really case by case basis unfortunately.

It appears that people may have to use virtual machines to run some Windows 95 software https://www.groovypost.com/howto/run-old-apps-on-windows-11/ The article doesn't mention using HyperV only 3rd party software.

I prefer Linux simply but it isn't my tribe.

Took a couple of minutes to find the information above

The official docs for Toon Boom Harmony 22 seem to have a page on how to install under Linux (RHEL or CentOS 6 or 7).

https://docs.toonboom.com/help/harmony-22/advanced/installation/basic/linux/about-basic-installation-linux.html https://docs.toonboom.com/help/harmony-22/advanced/installation/basic/linux/install-on-linux.html

You may get it working under Mint but it won't be supported.

You may have to look at a virtual machine or just put up with Windows because you need this software.

It took 6 years for the Carlton Tavern to be rebuilt. I think this was the first pub ordered to be rebuilt.

The building was being considered by Historic England for Grade II listing when it was unexpectedly demolished on 8 April 2015 by its owner ...

...

On 12 April 2021, the pub reopened ...

How much do you want to spend?

If you go for a Raspberry Pi have a look at Terrapi cases as well the obvious Argon ones.

Another option would be a Zimbaboard. It is more expensive but it has dual SATA connector (you need to buy a Y cable with the Zimbaboard) and there are 3D print designs to create a single unit, e.g. https://www.printables.com/model/224057-zimaboard-dual-hdd-stand.

I'm not sure about PoE and a NAS. Will a PoE HAT or similar provide enough power for the board and the drives?
