X* predates almost everything still in common use.

Which is, frankly, amazing.

It's also why Wayland took (is taking) so long. It has to compete against X11 with decades of development.

That's a tall order.

Me: neat!

Also me: zooming in on every detail expecting it to be a Giger-esque phallus.

Had a similar incident with my son's hand-me-down laptop. It just sits on a desk with a monitor and what-not plugged into it. It's now a wide flat desktop.

I do this, except with Ubuntu and a btrfs volume for root.

My motherboard supports UEFI, so it doesn't care where the EFI partition is. It's on a USB stick.

The way I did it was by installing to a SATA SSD and then moving the EFI partition to the usb stick and then substituting the SATA SSD with the NVMe SSD using btrfs.

I think I also needed to use reEFInd temporarily to give me an UEFI shell to do some debugging.

Oh! I also setup systemd-boot so I could trivially boot the kernel directly from UEFI, stored on the EFI partition and avoided grub altogether.

He also shouted "I'm hit!" Apparently not knowing the difference between being shot and, err, not being shot.

Other breaches do.

If two breaches have an overlap, e.g. they both contain email address, then they can be joined into a more complete set.

The problem is that this data can be combined with other data. An email address by itself isn't particularly important but when it's matched up with names, physical addresses, DoB, SSN, other PII and the network of other services with matching data it becomes very serious.

It's never just this breach, it's every other breach as well. Every breach makes every preceeding breach more effective and more valuable.

Oh yeah, the results are worse, but at least I can filter with search grammar and not also have to mentally filter out the ads too.

I'm not sure if we've ended up back at the ol' altavista/askjeeves keyword-stuffed hell yet, but it's close.

I switched to DDG merely to get rid of Google's irrelevant paid results up top.

If I'm searching for brand model manual I don't need every competitor's marketing detritus.

Likewise contact details etc... it's maddening.

My personal favourite is "structural integrity failure".

Applies to sandwiches as well as anything.

It's three cubits in diameter and no ne cubits around.

Therefore π is three.

Fackz.
