At 11 years, I had my own fan favorite, a fellow SoCal son, who led many laps, but in second place after a pit stop I witnessed on live television something that didn't quite strike me the same until years later - school children watching on live TV, Challenger was go at throttle up.

It's been 50 years and now Swede Savage has received the accolades and recognition becoming of champions.

Here's the fiery crash:

I was surprised just now to discover that N6NHG is now a silent key.

He was perhaps the worlds greatest, and certainly the most notorious, social engineer.

I figured I would have heard it somewhere else besides QRZ, and of course, much sooner.

Yet another example of how development in a vacuum can ultimately fail, and it's inferior to #Open_Source models of collaboration and auditing.

Of particular note is an apparent broken promise to #open_source the technology on one hand, and the infinite power that #FOSS can play when millions of eyes are on the prize with cooperative development.

ChatGPT's Performance Is Slipping, New Study Says

UC Berkeley researchers found that ChatGPT has not improved over time, and in fact, may have gotten worse.

Freaky Deaky, imaginative, and every bit as interesting as the moonshot in the Jules Verne movie that was it's contemporary.

That's the exact same story I think most of us have. The adage used to be, "Get Redhat certified and know Redhat. Learn Slackware and know Linux."

Most differences are in the package management systems. There may be different directory trees to traverse, and slight differences in the init scripts but that's simple enough if you learn Linux independent of a specific distro.

Nowadays I tend to recommend
#Mint to #n00bs, #Debian proper to those who will be longtime admins, and #Arch_Linux to those who will be #UNIX Gods.

#Slackware still holds it's own and is often my go-to.

Back then, we had
#386BSD (Jolix), #MCC_Interim, or #SLS, or later, #NetBSD, but we knew UNIX would take over the world... And then Slackware sprang upon the scene followed shortly thereafter by #Sorcerer_Linux and Debian GNU/Linux. #Redhat was pretty much an afterthought and rethink of #Yellowdog.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and recollections!

I so look forward to hearing all manner of stories like this!

@[email protected] Oh man, this brought me way back. Two of my colleagues in the beginning of 2000s recommended me #Slackware as the best distribution to kick-start my #Linux journey. Initially I was sure they were trolling me as it took me good 3 months to get to the point I was able to launch X, but I’ll remain forever grateful as I learned so much because of it… To this day my muscle memory defaults to checking out man pages instead of Googling things πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜„

I want sure if this was ever going to happen. There's a lot of controversy and it's been mulled over for decades.
