Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )

Great breakup song if you want to just let it out

John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )

This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original

Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...

I have a limited edition cell from the Justice League animated series signed by Bruce Timm. Got it about 15 years ago for about $900AUD, it's worth about $2000AUD now.

Australia is the most expensive place in the world for cigarettes so... The latter. But they won't ban it because it makes the govt. so much money.

I live right near the MCG and a decent number of people still drive in. I'm not sure why though since the city council makes a fortune by doing the rounds 2 hours in to a game and ticketing everyone without a parking permit (which is a lot of people) and the number of vehicle break-ins is pretty high too.

It's because he's wearing a double-breasted suit. Not really in fashion anymore.

(Useless fact for you :))

I've done a bunch of transcoding of things to x265 in the past (as I'm sure everyone is aware transcoding isn't GREAT but cuts down on storage costs). With that said I've now moved to AV1. I don't use GPU encoders at all as I found the quality to be pretty terrible. I just use a custom written ZSH script to go through and check the current format (it also converts audio to OPUS too)

A bunch of friends and I have been playing Sniper Elite 5. It's a mixed bag of varied experience. Some are terrible but just enjoy the shit talking (I'm one of those) and others just kick the crap out of the rest of us. But it's a fun bonding experience too since you can have up to 4 teams against each other and just need to make sure there's a fairly even balance.

I actually wanted to look this up. This is an interesting article - https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-evolution-of-alexey-navalnys-nationalism

"He has never apologized for his earliest xenophobic videos or his decision to attend the Russian March. At the same time, he has adopted increasingly left-leaning economic positions and has come out in support of the right to same-sex marriage. This strategy of adopting new positions—without ever explicitly denouncing old ones—is probably the reason the suspicion of ethno-nationalism continues to shadow Navalny."

I personally don't have really have opinion either way but was curious.

Haha I got it on sale a JB. I should make a digital backup of it actually. Can't believe I haven't done it yet...

Same here for the same reasons (although I started with FreeBSD 4.x) and have adapted to ZFS and Jails over the years.

The POLA (Principle Of Least Astonishment) when it comes to changes is awesome too.

I thought 000 goes through whatever network is available wherever you are as opposed to just your network provider?
