In practice, maybe, but that's never been a rule.

That is not dirty talk, that is just disturbing.

That is not dirty talk, that is just disturbing.I concur that @algorythmics is disturbing. And if your dildos are talking, dirty or otherwise, that's rather disturbing, too.

Status: I hate users.
I got a slew of emails[1] reporting an error triggered by three specific users. I knew that the error was due to dirty data, but to clean it up I needed some additional data beyond what was in the automated emails. I created a ticket off the error emails and sent a reply to the affected users requesting the additional data. Because the specific error can be triggered in 2 different ways, I told them I needed the data they entered during process A or the data they entered during process B to resolve the issue.
- User 1: no response.
- User 2: Copied the static text from the affected page and pasted it into an email. Yes, you read that right. They actually did a copy-paste of the static text on the page instead of a screen shot.
- User 3: Yes I'm getting that error.
Me: I know, but I need the data I requested to fix it. Please provide the data.
User 3: I don't get anything after following process A or process B. I can't provide you any data.
Me: I know you don't get any data after following the processes. That's the error I'm trying to fix. I want the data you are entering during the processes so I can identify the bad data and fix it.
User 3: I'm not at my desk now, and I don't remember.
Fortunately, User 1 later provided me the necessary data and I was able to correct the problem.

collecting dust. I'm pretty sure most pi-s
That's the fate both of mine met.
One was used heavily for XBMC until I swapped to Plex (as it works with Chromecast for the TV upstairs) which is supported by the TV downstairs natively.

Was going to say something about reading comprehension fail, but decided to leave that up to the audience.

Sometimes I wish my users would do this, because then I could do something with the text. Though, it's not static text, but still.

live traffic is red
Does your route home not involve the M6? I'm surprised by now they haven't just painted the road red.

Junctions 23 to 20A. It's not often bad; usually, that section flows fairly smoothly. Beyond the Lymm interchange, towards Knutsford… less so. But I don't use that bit

I haven't had a non-sparkling wine that I've liked.
There's a lot of different wines out there, some of which is really not very nice (and that includes some sparkling wines too). But there's also plenty that's rather tasty, and not all of that will break the bank. Different grape varieties really do make a huge difference, and different areas make a difference too (though usually not as profound).
I've got a lifetime left to spend learning about wine.

If I drove, I'd be going over the M62 every day. I don't drive if I can help it. That road is horrible. It's the HGVs — 18 wheelers to the Merkins — that blow over at the summit that are the worst, though some of the minor climbs are bad too, and there's a few stretches which are just nuts. Prime example: J20–21, though the bit just west of J23 is really bad too.
The trains are just expensive, slow and over-crowded.

@RaceProUK and I have indeed agreed to "knock it off or else (holding a bloody katana menacingly)"*

Judging from which pins I read hot versus the pinout diagrams, no one anywhere has published the pinout for the new model and I'm measuring the wrong pins for the GPIO outputs I activated in code.
PEBKAC
My Pi has a 40-pin GPIO block, but the diagram I was following was for the 26-pin model. And because I was counting down from the high-pin end, it was all wrong! Now that I have the proper pinout diagram, things work just like they should.

Hmmmm, do I need one?
-
I don't have a use for one, but. It would be great for like a media center PC.
-
It should make a pretty decent media centre. I got one of these bad boys last year. It's pretty nice. (Although I run VM's on mine.)
The best part of it is that this is the expected size of desktop PCs now.
-
It would, if only it did not have to have a higher "wife acceptance factor". Our current media PCs need replacing soon. They are all C2D machines with 2-3GB of RAM. One of them chokes at times on 1080 video. They are ready for retirement.

How is the video performance and noise level?
Video performance is acceptable to me for my purposes. I've not played any games on it, so that's something to bear in mind if that's important to you (Gigabyte do have some "gamer" versions of hardware available which might have better GPUs.)
As for noise, it is absolutely silent.

Status: There has absolutely got to be a better way in Linux to copy a file from a NAS to a mounted external disk than
sudo dolphin &
twice and then drag/drop between the two root instances of the file manager. I seriously need to fix some permissions here...

sudo cp /source/file /destination/file

No gaming, for a media PC. 1080p video playback is all I am worried about. I just need a small, silent, unobtrusive computer for the living room and bedrooms, etc.
-
sudo cp /source/file /destination/file
??
Nice try, but the source file isn't even mounted on the local filesystem, and my local user account doesn't own either the source or destination folders (and
sudo chown
doesn't work)...I did try
sudo cp smb://source /dest
though. That didn't work either...

I'm about 95% certain you could find something in their range which would fit the bill. There's the Intel NUC range as well, but I've forgotten why I decided against them.
Basically, it's going to get easier and easier, and cheaper and cheaper to find a small silent box which willl do what you want...

Not really as cool as the Lenovo IdeaCenter Q190 that goes on sale for $150 every couple months

sudo dolphin &

menu.I did try

mount.cifs
if you really want to, though I generally just usesshfs
so I have no actual experience with that.

so I have no actual experience with that.Last time I did bulk move (from the internal RAID array to the NAS, just after buying it) scp/rsync did not give reasonable performance. Main reason for this was that the NAS did not have the CPU power to do the encryption part.
-
It's F3 in nemo/nautilus which I regularly use, but I'm pretty sure dolphin used something else last time I tried KDE.
Then again, I installed KDE additionally on top of already having Cinnamon, so it might have rebound the keys to something non-standard for whatever reason.

Status: Trying to find out why CPU usage for the data processor doubles (and stays doubled) 4 hours after start with constant load. The only clue so far is that it releases a bunch of memory at that point, one-off...
Poor me had an epiphany this morning. Despite being at 100% CPU, the thing isn't actually CPU-bound at all.
It's memory bound, walking over items in a linked list it doesn't need to do stuff with. And the memory release causes the list to become fragmented, stopping the caches from working...

Firefox isn't really a good file manager.
But you could always use Krusader instead of Dolphin.

Or Konqueror and utterly confuse everyone by complaining Discourse doesn't render properly in it in one breath and how it's file copy dialog is crap in the next[1]!
