avuton··on US to deploy additional troops to the Middle East, officials say
Congress lack of action kind of makes it authorized.
avuton··on Nextcloud: Open-Source Cloud Apps
I've noticed issue with older hardware. After a recent upgrade to modern hardware (LAN based), all performance issues have been resolved. Currently serving to >30 devices, including 4K media to multiple endpoints and 100Ks files.
avuton··on The open calendar, task and note space is a mess
If you're on Android, I suggest tasks.org, it supports repeating tasks even if the server doesn't. Of course that means you have to use it when completing a repeating task.
avuton··on Pre-Prod HoneyComb LX2K 16-Core Mini ITX Arm Workstation Pre-Order for $550
In the comments, the company responds: "I have asked marketing and sales to update that copy. Those versions are target shipping software, which is actually bumped on the developer board as NXP has just released a 4.19 based BSP. These boards will be fully supported by all mainline support that progresses."
avuton··on Stomach of Dead Whale Contained 'Nothing but Nonstop Plastic'
Don't know why you got downvoted. I've made a effort in my life to replace new plastics in my life with glass & metal when it makes sense.
avuton··on Even more fun with building and benchmarking Firefox with GCC and Clang
FWIW, I doubt the GNU project would stop working on GCC, even if it were rarely used. GNU Hurd and similar rarely used projects barrel on under the GNU banner.
avuton··on Intel patches new ME vulnerabilities
I was under the impression that they weren't susceptible.
avuton··on Intel patches new ME vulnerabilities
I'm oddly lucky that I based my fanless server off an old Atom platform.
avuton··on Dtube – A decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS
How is abusive content handled on this platform?
avuton··on KeePassXC 2.3.0 released
I store mine on a personal NextCloud with davfs, but any secure online storage should do.
avuton··on Some people swear by Alcoholics Anonymous and others despise it
My father was an alcoholic and went to meetings for over 20 years. Then, one day he felt strong enough to stop going to meetings. A few years later, he was dependant on opioids, which began as a perscription to back pain. I have my doubts he would have gone this direction had he still had the support of being "in the program".

Also, I'd say I've been to well over 100 of these meetings as a youth. I'm really happy I did, as it led me to see how some of the most beautiful people lost everything due to their substance abuse issues, which in turn led me to lead a clean life.

avuton··on It’s not ok for billion-dollar companies to crowdfund
What expectations would you consider reasonable in this instance?
avuton··on Firefox Quantum Lands in Beta, Developer Edition
There is always a few of these comments per Firefox 57 post. Always someone lamenting the days of yore, and talking about how no one will ever use Firefox again. It's not making a new point, and the other comments are usually speaking of how great it's been. People get super emotional when things change.
avuton··on O’Reilly Media has stopped retailing books directly on its ecommerce store
You remember a different Netscape than I do. Netscape was the kind of browser you hated to recommend to a loved one. The experience was truly subpar. When Firebird was announced, the user experience improved significantly over what Netscape could have ever hoped to attain, though it still took some time before recommending it to a loved one would turn out not to be a mistake.
avuton··on Swatting Could Soon Be Illegal
Couldn't see the article through the ad. Seriously annoying.
avuton··on Cmus – A Small Terminal Music Player
It is absolutely not MPD, it has a partial implementation of the MPD protocol.
