Newer macOS is not Unix certified.

It's UNIX 03 compliant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification

One or two Linux distros were (are?) UNIX certified, though.

There's a bulk food store near me and it allows BYO containers (or you can use one of their compostable bags). It's great! A little bit more work (you need to tare your/container write down the empty weight), but you get your goods in the container of your choice.

You can ride your bike on many highways in the USA at least. Generally you cannot on the freeway, but there are some exceptions


in California there are requirements about bike accessibility which means that certain segments of a freeway may be bike accessible.

If you live far from a store then groceries are a problem unless you use a trailer, but if you live in a city it's totally reasonable to use a bike (or walk) for your weekly groceries.

And you can get a new Trek FX for under $600, and that's just from a quick search. Yes of you want Ultegra or better and a carbon frame, the sky is the limit.

Sounds like he was a mantis and was posting while copulating.

Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely


you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).

If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.

To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.

You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches

But remember that the kernel knows best


this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).

We breathed a huge sigh of relief when our kid got vaccinated (first dose at ~1yr old). I just can't fathom voluntarily not doing that.

I switched from raspberry pi and orange pi to a cheap Intel NUC, and I think it's just a much nicer experience.

The pi is great fun, but the HW transcoding on a NUC "just works," and the SSD and 16GB RAM opens a lot of doors. My N100 NUC was less than $150, and it included everything (case, power supply, 500GB SSD).

My pi found new life as an off-site backup: attach a big HDD, set up WireGuard, and have a cronjob do daily rsync and snapshots. I have it set up at in-laws, and it works great.

I have one SSID with pihole (which I use), and one without. Works pretty well, if you're ok with a VLAN-aware network.

Ah, good point!
