Etcher itself has advertisements for https://www.balena.io/ products while your USB drive is being written.
Not all linux systems are running a desktop GUI, for example…most servers. /edit to add or expand/ I use Etcher on my laptop but I use the command line with my server in the closet…plug in the USB, go back to my laptop and do everything remotely.
Also, as a linux user/admin for 25+ years I’ve seen these apps come and go. Inevitably the app gains so much popularity that the dev wants some money for it… so they add advertising to the app. Then some other app comes along to replace it, rinse and repeat indefinitely. If your shell commands are POSIX-compliant, they’ll last for decades or more.
I definitely appreciate your words and completely understand what you’re saying. I finished reading your blog and like your “raw” perspective. You should update it with an “where I’ve been, where I am and where I’m going” post. It feels like a short story, over the span of several years, but you have a bit of a cliff hanger there 😉
I had a bunch of other stuff written but I removed it because it was scatter-brained and all over the place. I may in fact reach out to you for conversation. While our bearings might not be the same, I think there’s a lot to learn and I like your style.
After 25 years in tech I’m starting to look for my “out”. I have a ton of experience with electrical (signals/rf too), plumbing, mechanical, woodworking, finishing, engines, etc There isn’t much I can’t fix. As far as nautical experience goes, I’m a novice but I recently went through a small boat certification course and planning on being a “trailer sailor” for a couple years or more to build up experience. I grew up near Charleston SC harbor, and I think the ocean is calling me back.
A couple of questions; how do you find work or how does work find you? Do you have a home base where your tools are located or are you doing these jobs in “random” ports you travel to? (You can message me if you don’t want to share your industry secrets publicly 😉 )
/edit Found your blog so I got some reading to do.
Alternatively, you may run the projects using the Docker warrior instance without the VM appliance. For further info, see our GitHub repository for Readme instructions. If you have any issues or feedback, chat on #warrior on hackint.
Yep. When I see headlines “I made millions of dollars with Bitcoin” I giggle inside.
Yep. “Business” doesn’t see profit in redundant systems.
6 pack bottles used to be 12 fl. oz. and they changed to 11.2. This was 5 or more years ago though.
We just started using a kanban board with monthly “sprints”. We have a backlog of things to choose from. Then we pick out a few that we know we can complete this month. Move them to in progress when we start working on them. Then move them to complete so we have something to “show for it”.
Temu nazis.
I have no source to back this up so maybe I came up with this in my own reality, but I thought it was related to, pseudo = pretended.
Companies are putting moats around their data (or the data they host) because AI needs data to train its models on. It is the same reason Reddit changed their API access.
I’ll even wager 20 imaginary internet coins that Wikipedia will require logins to do any searching within the next year.
Oh man you reminded me of bad init scripts that would prevent you from getting to multi-user login. I hope you remembered your root password so you can get into single user mode!
Link to STL? (i kid, i kid)
Microsoft owns GitHub. The blast radius for this could be severe.
BULLSHIT. China doesn’t want their citizens witnessing workforce strikes; especially ones where the celebrities striking are on Chinese TVs and movie screens.
9 witnesses is too much but not 18 naked cowboys.

Yes, it is huge in the history of Palestine since the UN partition plan https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/UN_Palestine_Partition_Versions_1947.jpg (note that the city of Jerusalem was given to neither side) I would wager that “after the fall” of Jerusalem, Bibi turned his head towards Gaza to “finish the job”. Golan Heights/Lebanon will be an ongoing genocide beyond Bibi’s and even our lifetimes.
