                                      In light of the current shitheelery going on at Linux HQ, and general techbro shitheadery on FOSS....

                                      Consider brushing up, or looking into xBSD as a daily driver, privacy preserving OS. Grab that old computer and slap some BSD on it.

                                      I would recommend , because a with a GUI already loaded. Seems to be the single big bump on road for newbies at BSD.

                                      Doesn't hurt and, if Linux goes the way of post-jobs apple software... well, there. Just sayin'.

                                                        Against a plain white background, this #monoku by long time contributor, Jerome Berglund @jeromeberglundhaiku, reads float valve world Contextual notes by the author: Ihara Saikaku’s Death Poem (1693): Ukiyo no tsuki / misugoshi ni keri / sue ninen “An extra two years spent gazing at the moon in this floating world.” A float valve is a purely mechanical device used to automatically regulate liquid levels within a tank, reservoir, or cistern. Operating on basic buoyancy forces, it opens the water inlet as fluid levels drop and automatically seals shut when the liquid hits a predetermined maximum height, requiring absolutely zero electricity. Ukiyo: This term originally had Buddhist roots meaning a sorrowful, fleeting world of suffering. During the Edo period, people also used it to describe a lifestyle of living in the present moment and enjoying transient pleasures. #haiku #poetry #floatingworld
