Intel. Ask me almost anything you want to know about semiconductor processing.

Please do not bug me about Meltdown/Spectre, I am just a mere fab worker, and not a processor designer. I'm just as PO'd about it as you.

In what should be a no-brainer, the #SCOTUS has unanimously declared that the 8th amendment applies to the States via the 14th amendment:

Woke up this morning and I thought I overslept my alarm, or it didn't go off at the normal 4:30 time.

Looked at my clock: 03:59.

Interesting thread on the Ubuntu and Debian user mailing lists. Someone is asking for a cheap Linux friendly cloud service that lets you store 50 Terabytes of data.

Back at work today for the first time in two months. Not much has changed, other than a few team members got shuffled around within the company

SecureBoot test on my laptop is a bust. I blame my laptop. Oh well. Gonna take this opportunity to distro hop on my laptop.

Well guys, #Fedora has been fun. Highly pleasurable OS.

But, now I'm going to test out #Debian Buster's SecureBoot implementation on my laptop, which means time to wipe the HD.

As an aside, #Debian Buster's new theme, futurePrototype, is pretty sweet.

Sadly that means Debian Buster will be stuck on #GNOME 3.30 and #KDE Plasma 5.14.

Think I'm gonna play some #Starbound tonight. Haven't played it in forever.

Which race though? I'm fond of Novakids, but I kinda wanna play a Glitch
