Not the guy you’re talking to, but this made me think!
I wonder if some 60s american 8 liter engine would actually consume that much. I think it’s possible! Longer startup time, less efficient combustion…

Skill issue
Obviously they’re wrong.


Was it?
Aren’t those things, at least in part, a way to carry lots of wealth on you quite conveniently?
Only if advanced enough!


Ahemmm… Whitebell? :D


I don’t know half the names in your post.
I don’t now your age.
Hazarding a guess - I’d say you’re no more than mid twenties.
Having said all that - people, on average, are dumb. They pretend to be experts in fields they’ve had a job at for a while, but most got there by accident and not due to merrit.
Fiction justifies it, therefore it’s popular.
Brace the downvotes from disappointments.


Anyone with any light to shed?
I don’t know anything about any pushers, but as someone who’s almost 2m and had fallen into a canal - I can tell right now it’s not 3 feet. My 2 feet could only reach the soft muddy bottom at the side.


You can just do it.


Interesting! Our washing machine is turning 10 this year, hasn’t skipped a beat, yet.


I run opnsense on a decomissioned thin workstation I got for free at work. Added a couple of NICs et voila! For wifi I just disabled DHCP on the ISP router and plugged one of the lan ports into opnsense. Packets err… Find a way.


Actual benefit? I’d say code not compiled in is code that cannot be abused.
There are also more obscure benefits - like getting more familiar with your system.
I run a private pixelfed instance as a sort of family photo archive. Works well enough!


Used to never care. Not one bit.
And then I treated myself to an E60 M5.
Day 2 - some random guy compliments it and starts a chat.
Random talks at the lights. In the parking lots.
Someone walked up to me in Belgium and asked if he can take a photo. Of a disgustingly dirty car that had been driven 1200 miles in the last 24 hours. I just shrugged it off and said sure, go ahead.
Point being - I am now aware of it being a thing. It’s also a pleasant feeling, so now I try to do the same. Last one I complimented was an E34 M5. Guy made the appropriate smile of acknowledgment back.
Hey, that’s a sysadmin’s job!
Another one right next to me!

I have a working hypothesis, the short of which goes something like this:
windows makes one memorise orders of infinite submenus, while linux makes you understand the way it works.
No, it’s a syntax error :innocent-whistling:
