My cargo van doesn’t have windows, but here are my most recent spots in reverse chronological order:

• current spot, BLM campsite
• outside Alamagordo, NM, BLM
• near Holloman AFB; winds kicking up dust from White Sands and blotting out the mountains in the distance. Not sure what kind of federal land this is.
• near Las Cruces, NM, national monument

My present location is a bit of an anomaly as it is a somewhat-developed official BLM campsite. Pit toilet, trash cans, and covered picnic tables. What luxuries! It’s very quiet, dark skies, and only lightly visited. There are 4-5 sites depending on how you count and only 2 are taken. I won’t divulge the location directly but the clueful will be able to suss it out. :-)

Because it was a student project I expect it was a one-and-done.

How often do you downgrade Firefox versions

I don’t remember ever downgrading a browser (started out on NCSA Mosaic).

Having switched to Zen Browser

Recently tried Zen – I think it’s pretty and shows promise but has a few dealbreakers that preclude my using it as a daily driver. TL;DR: “I slightly prefer the zen UI but not enough to overcome the annoyances. I’ll check back on the project next year if it’s still active.”

f you feel that strongly about it, create a Fuck Mozilla community and post there to your heart’s content.

The sidebar doesn’t identify this as an advocacy community so I think complaints are on-topic. And, yes, Firefox is my daily driver.

What do you guys use for Windows to Linux remote access?

I want to see desktop

Some kind of VNC setup

TL;DR: laws based on emotion (especially those named after individuals, or that include the words children or patriot) are rarely good laws.

I tell her imagine if that was our kid missing, youd want as many people to see it as possible.

AMBER alerts don’t do what the public thinks they do; they do what the politicians know they do: demonstrate doing something when the base demands “somebody’s gotta do something”. It’s political equivalent of looking Very Serious and intoning “thoughts and prayers”.

If we actually cared about the kids we’d notice the majority of AMBER alerts are due to frustrated non-custodial parents taking their kids, and to runaways. We could address the problems at first base, or we can continue to be shocked, SHOCKED I say, and go through the kabuki once again.

I generally only reboot for stuff like kernel updates.

The base doesn’t care about such things, so I expect “I never said that” and/or “I was joking”

Saw the .de domain and my first thought was this was about using a potato ricer to make spätzle. I may not be normal.

How do you exercise your dogs in bad weather?

Every day, wearing dog coat if required.

Off-leash Chihuahuas and mini dachshunds are the bane of my (leashed) pibble’s existence on walks. They are forever running up and getting right in her face. When they bite her or latch onto her throat she lays down on them. After a few squishes the dog usually gives up while the panicked owner wails “I’m so sorry… Princess! Come here Princess!.. I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry.”

My dog is chill but if she eventually ragdolls a biter I don’t want to hear any complaining about it. FAFO.

Why don’t you get a diesel heater for the winter?

I follow mild weather and so am very rarely in freezing temperatures. On chilly mornings making coffee and breakfast over propane warms the interior significantly.

If I ever did install a vented heater like that it would likely be a gasoline version, since the PM’s tank already has a place on it to tap.

Just a reminder that Texas has safe haven drop boxes at fire stations and post offices specifically for dropping off unwanted babies,

In case anyone thinks this is a new concept, one of the most influential pieces of early Renaissance architecture (Ospedale degli Innocenti) had a rotating drop-off port for babies. There was someone on the other side of the wall 24/7.

What tips/ideas do you have for getting better at navigating the terminal, and getting a better understanding of how the os works

Running an OS as a virtual is liberating. Dive in, make mistakes, fix them (or not and have to reinstall or redo from the last save). No real consequences for exploring.

fruits typically are made to be consumed, in the sense that it benefits the evolution of the plant

I suspect some fruits are made so that only particular spreaders can/will eat them. Like some flowers are shaped to allow certain pollinators and exclude others.

Abbott’s assholery knows no bounds.

I would like to get an idea of what their actual performance would be like before I do the installation

PVwatts and similar models are quite useful for estimating harvest in a given time/place.

Its a strange location with some over hanging trees and some shading by neighbours fromntine to time but it could help provide some redundancy

Partial shading is brutal on solar harvest. It will be the tail that wags the dog in this scenario.
