Mozilla should fire their non-technical staff, strongly make the case for how they're fighting for a free and open internet, and use a subscription model for Firefox to pay the bills

OpenWrt with AdGuard Home is one option. Big fan of the former, haven't used the latter

I just watched the 1972 ad.
It's weird they used a mechanical grating sound in their background music

Devil's advocate: would you use the present tense for the original Batman, or the original Star Trek?

I was suggesting using your own binhost as an alternative to distcc.
If someone's considering distcc, presumably they've already decided not to use the public Gentoo binaries, and want to do the compilation themselves

I think that’s more for when you have multiple machines (that would use the same USE flags) and you only want to have to compile once.

One issue with distcc is some of the build operations can't be delegated. If you want to minimise resource usage as much as possible (e.g. on old hardware) and want to compile yourself, then running your own binhost makes sense.

Or set up your own binhost

A few more good ones I found

Frank Zappa - Peaches en Regalia - Talichova komorní filharmonie
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale - London Symphony Orchestra

And free pest control!

 

I came across one or two classical covers of rock songs over the years that stuck in my head.
Finding another one just now, I decided to hunt down a few more, and this is the list I came up with:

King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King - Mitteleuropa Orchestra
Tool - Forty-Six & 2 - Vitamin String Quartet
Metallica - One - Viola da gamba solo
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water - Japanese traditional instruments with orchestral backing
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - London Philharmonic Orchestra
Led Zepellin - Kashmir - Yamato String Quartet
... and another version by London Philharmonic Orchestra

ITT: share your favourite rock covers that use classical or traditional instruments!

I like the idea of automatically fastening zips in places with limited access (like the tent example in the article), but unless the failure rate is very low, you'd always need a backup fastening technique on hand

I haven't searched about this so I don't know, but it'd be cool if there were a way to import/export markdown tables into LibreOffice
