I offered my mailman a free box of Girl Scout cookies at the start of the season and told him I knew he was diabetic, but maybe he would like to bring it to a friend or family member?

He told me he wasn’t “a practicing diabetic at the moment,” and cracked the Thin Mints open like a boss.

Dont know how but doing an update to a Leap 15.6 machine last night broke the graphics drivers. "Well you should not buy an Nvidia card." i hear from someone in the back. Nope.. this time it was intel and the video accelerated hardware.

Now to decide if i can just change the repos to Leap 16 and dup or if i will have to migrate to tumbleweed/slowroll.

Tell Congress: Oppose the GUARD Act

Congress is moving quickly on the revised GUARD Act, S. 3062. While lawmakers narrowed the bill after widespread criticism, it still requires intrusive age-verification systems for AI companions and imposes steep penalties on developers offering conversational AI tools.

We've come to an icky time in security when the concern about using outdated, unpatched software starts to become overshadowed by the fear of downloading some backdoored update.

@geerlingguy Do your Xserves have a fiberchannel card/port on them? I just dug around the dark depths of my stash of computer stuff and found my Apple SFP 4G Fiberchannel cable. Curious if that is something you'd be interested in tinkering with.. for content and science!
