  • Well it depends on how the RSU is set up of course. All the equity I’ve apparently received in my time is still waiting on “defined liquidity event” before I can do anything at all.

  • Torrent

    Jump

  • Apparently you set up a Linux server, with lots of storage.

    Then you apparently buy a VPN account with a reputable, no-log VPN provider with exits in Switzerland and Spain, apparently the two most torrent friendly countries in the world.

    Then you apparently install a docker container called Gluetun, which apparently connects to your VPN provider and provides network services to other containers.

    Then you apparently install radarr and sonarr and pipe their network through a torrent container that goes through the gluetun container and apparently also the overseerr container so it’s really easy to request content.

    Then you apparently install Plex or Jellyfin or your server and their client on your devices.

    Then, apparently, you request content through your overseerr container and apparently then all you have to do is request and badaboom badabing it shows up on your clients 5 minutes later.

    Or so I’ve heard.

  • It’s almost as if investors themselves often aren’t that smart and they, themselves, won the lottery that gave them money to invest.

  • Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?

    Jump

  • My first computer was an Amstrad 664, with a green screen. I’m old. And I’ve been around Vim and EMacs from time to time and I love the console but for the love of god, since GUIs became the normal way to interact with computers, I just install micro now and have the same hotkeys across all the modes of interaction.

    Speed of typing really isn’t the defining productivity measure for code.

    Now I use VS Code in a GUI and micro on the console and that provides a reasonably consistent way of interacting with text.

  • Connecticut lawmakers approve bill for cell phone ban in schools — but critics argue that having different rules for adults and students is ‘not good role modeling at all’

  • And the tobacco industry. And the gamling industry.

  • Donald Trump says US will take over Cuba ‘almost immediately’

    Jump

  • Completely agree. Iran of all places - I genuinely think he believed he could somehow force a better deal than Obama. Talk about not understanding the regime.

  • Donald Trump says US will take over Cuba ‘almost immediately’

    Jump

  • You can’t really compare though. Iran is a vast country, and the logistics around re supply is different. Cuba is a morsel.

  • Donald Trump says US will take over Cuba ‘almost immediately’

    Jump

  • If the US went in with the big stick, Cuba would fall in a week. Russia doesn’t have the heft to support Cuba at this time and a China doesn’t have the tradition and reach. Most Cubans have deep connections with the US and they know the different in quality of life. There’s be very little support from the population towards the regime. Cuba has barely any friends internationally.

    That doesn’t make it right. But of all the countries to “take”, Cuba would be the simplest for the US. And Trump might just be mad enough to do it.

  • Spirit Airlines goes out of business after 34 years, ending operations immediately

    Jump

  • People compare them to Ryanair in Europe but that’s a gross mischaracterisation.

    Ryanair is a notorious fuel hedger, locking in prices 12+ months in advance. They also have a craptonne of cash balance that Spirit never built up, so they are completely differently positioned to handle the fuel price shock in 2026.

    Unions play a big part as well - in the US, there was a single Union negotiation on behalf of crew but Ryanair didn’t even recognise unions until 2017 and they still have a lot of national unions that they can pick and choose from. While I abhor Ryanair’s anti-union stance it does leave them very well positioned for survival compared to Spirit.

    Ryanair have been overthrowing a lot of national carriers that had a LOT of inefficiency in it, whereas Spirit were fighting against large, federal/international carriers with much more heft to them, both to accept price wars and the handle connecting flights (something Europeans generally loathe and Americans accept). It means a lot of the international flights were fed by the airlines’ own routes, rather than Spirit.

    Overall, completely different market place. Man, it would be interesting to see Ryanair enter the US.

  • Trump says it’s ‘treasonous’ to say US not winning war in Iran

  • It was their final, most essential command.

  • US to cut troop levels in Germany by 5,000 amid Trump spat with Merz

  • Extending US reach. Tripwiring Russian aggression. Creating leverage and secure bases from which to gather intel on the Europeans. Creating a foothold for the US weapons industry.

    Only one of these directly benefit Europe.

  • BBC News to bear deepest cuts amid 2,000 planned job losses

    Jump

  • Have you seen what happens in country where there is no channels with enforced impartiality channels?

    You get the US media picture. It’s clear that the BBC has problems. But you can’t remove those problems and then have no problems. Instead you get a different set of problems.

  • BBC News to bear deepest cuts amid 2,000 planned job losses

    Jump

  • But look, if our democracy, which you have a vote in, has decided that the BBC is funded by universal subscription, then the BBC does obviously have to make sure this is enforced. I feel like you’re complaining about speed checks on a 30 road, IMHO.

  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

  • Yes I get the point but I guess it depends on you considering a car a luxury or a requirement. Where I live, it’s definitely a luxury - we’ve got great public transport.
