Fuck software patents and business method patents. Patent the machine. Copyright the instructions to tell the machine what to do if you must.

Linux/Cups. Postscript. Laser. Have never had a problem. Printers not working is a “put the logic in the Windoze driver” problem vs telling a good printer “Print this”.

Me over here still rocking my pebble time steel. I like that pebble opted to be an accessory and not just a little full featured phone on your wrist. A shame they are gone.

For a disc you need a new fork if it does not already have mounts for the disc calipers. By “new set of gears” I assume rear cassette. You will need a chain whip and a cassette tool. Keep in mind that all drivetrain parts tend to wear together. Its important to swap your chain when it starts to wear. I just do mine every spring to be safe. If it’s been awhile, you’ll need new chaingring(s), casette, and chain. After a longer time, it’s good to replace the pulleys in the rear derailleur too.

But like others have said, with this amount of effort, just get another bike.

Yes please. None of those have anything to do with technology. I want to see some PM-esque posts in here.

The new NIST guidance is to have something long. Special characters don’t matter. So a good passphrase that you can remember > short line noise. NIST also recommends against constant password rotation, but to instead audit for dictionary attacks. See also: https://www.netsec.news/summary-of-the-nist-password-recommendations-for-2021/

Yes, it is bad programming. Of course, on the backend you must never store passwords in the clear. You should never grow your own hashing algorithm.

I ran rca jacks throughout the house. These are connected to a distribution amp. Then I have cheap PC speakers plugged into that from the main receiver. This is structured wiring so they can be changed to Ethernet if necessary.

Usually I listen to the news in the morning while showering.

Another way to do it is make dongles for unused phone jacks. Just make sure they aren’t plugged into the Telco as a landline.

One may just be a symlink to the other depending on your distro. For shebang lines, I’d probably go with /bin/zsh
