@dailystoic I suspect that two reasons helped Marcus not commit suicide were 1) It would have been a cop out. He would be shirking his duties as Roman and emperor. 2) Concern about a civil war if there were no strong heir apparent.

@Itsfoss I need to check VSCodium to see if it is infected.

VS Code did something naughty recently. 🤖 itsfoss.com/news/vs-code-c…

@stjohnsphoto This is the experimental DC-4E. Not the later production DC-4. The wing number is the same as the pictures in the DC-4E Wikipedia article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_D…

@iamAtheistGirl Acknowledging that pedophilia is wrong does not take a belief in a deity.

fucking hell 🤦‍♀️ these christians just wow

@RetroTechDreams Happy Birthday.

I turned 40 today! I’m officially old.

@GamewithDave Palm WebOS.

Which one would you bring back today?

@Itsfoss Depends on how important the data is.

I don’t see the point of RAID in a homelab. Feels like wasting disks. Why mirror drives when backups exist? No uptime pressure in a homelab setup. So what’s the real benefit here? Curious to hear your views from real homelab experiences 👇

@alxmiguelc2 I read some of thread, thanks for sharing it. It never ceases to amaze me how the US evangelicals never seem to read any parts of the Bible that preaches tolerance and charity.

@alxmiguelc2 Individual ego takes charge?

É curioso como discussões potencialmente substantivas acabam, com frequência, por deslizar para disputas de precedência e reconhecimento.

@ZDP189 That’s neat.

It's printed!

Easter Egg 2026 Designed in @tinkercad. It mimics the structure of paper fan Easter eggs. Grouped for easy colour customisation. Print: Aracne, Supports on exterior of base. Rainbow filament would look awesome. I'm printing now. It takes about 1h. tinkercad.com/things/9828iwG…

@Jen3nfer @stjohnsphoto Well done. Great radiology technique.

McLaren. Unless I’m the one paying for it. Then I’m relegated to a former rental Malibu.

@RyanHoliday Totally agree. Waiting for the perfect solution means that you lose the advantages that a decent solution would have provided you.

So many of us spend so much time looking for the perfect solution that we pass up what's right in front of us.

@RaphaelDSwift @Jesii_ca_M Can I bring a camera and some books?

@Jesii_ca_M easily

No internet and unlimited food. Can you stay here for 1 week for $300k?

@elormkdaniel And if the applications are not programmed to use the API that was built, it all for nothing. Somebody had a bright idea and it wasn’t thought through.

A law that says Linux must perform age verification during account setup sounds reasonable at first… until you realize it completely misunderstands what Linux actually is. Because who exactly is supposed to verify their age? The server? The router? The fridge? Linux isn’t a website. It isn’t a social platform. It doesn’t have “sign ups,” profiles, or accounts tied to emails. When you “create an account” on Linux, you’re just creating a local system user on that machine. No internet call. No central database. No identity check. No universal registration flow where age could even be asked. It’s simply a username stored on disk. There’s nothing to verify against. And here’s the bigger issue most people miss: most Linux systems don’t even have a human sitting in front of them. Linux runs servers in data centers, routers moving traffic, cloud virtual machines, containers spinning up automatically, IoT devices, and embedded systems inside appliances. Many installs are fully automated and finish in seconds without a screen or keyboard. Linux also isn’t one controlled product owned by a single company. It’s open-source code. Anyone can modify it, remove features, fork it, or compile their own version. If you tried forcing an age check into the installer, someone could simply delete that code and rebuild it in minutes. There’s no central enforcement point; by design. It also works perfectly offline. Hospitals, military environments, research labs, and air-gapped networks depend on Linux running without internet access. Age verification assumes connectivity and some trusted central authority. Linux intentionally doesn’t rely on either. Even if you somehow forced verification once, it wouldn’t mean anything. Systems get cloned constantly. Virtual machines are duplicated. Containers are copied thousands of times. One verified image could instantly become a thousand identical systems. Verification doesn’t scale. Copying does. And from a security perspective, adding identity checks would actually make Linux worse. More code paths, more dependencies, more data collection, more attack surface; all for something that doesn’t fit the architecture in the first place. You can regulate platforms and online services because they’re centralized. But infrastructure like Linux isn’t centralized. It’s decentralized software anyone can run, modify, or redistribute. Trying to regulate it at install time isn’t just difficult; it’s technically incompatible with how Linux is built.

@Itsfoss I have GrapheneOS running on a Pixel tablet and it works well. It will be interesting to see which device gets the update. Lenovo owns Motorola.

A surprise collab just happened.  itsfoss.com/news/motorola-…

@RetroCoast I believe that’s a European thing. I had a Smart FourTwo with amber instruments.

Remember amber computer screens? #1980s

@Itsfoss DuckDuckGo, available for Windows, iPadOS, Android via F-Droid and Google apps store. I also use the DuckDuckGo search engine.

Recommend a good web browser other than Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi and Brave.

@ZDP189 Cool work.

And the print! At 4am, day of. Guess who forgot to buy a card until late the night before Valentines Day.

Valentine's Day Card 2026 Traced in @tinkercad using Sketch Extrude from a free image website, so no commercial use. Use this version if you have an AMS. tinkercad.com/things/bGNoUDU… Use this version if you need to manually pause and swap filaments. tinkercad.com/things/h6OSlPg…

@Thebiglade Palm. Including Palm Prē, Pixi, and Veer.

A phone brand we all used to know, but this generation has no idea it ever existed.
