I see frequent mentions of AI wasting water. Is this one such setup, perhaps with the CDU using the facility's water supply for evaporative cooling?

Today I learned that Sears founded Prodigy!
Amazing how far that company has fallen; they were sort of a force to be reckoned with in the 70's and 80's with Craftsman and Allstate and Discover and Kenmore and a bunch of other things, and now they're basically dead as far as I can tell.
There were quite a few small ISP's in the 1990's. Even Bill Gothard[0] had one.

> i386 is no longer supported as a regular architecture: there is no official kernel and no Debian installer for i386 systems. The i386 architecture is now only intended to be used on a 64-bit (amd64) CPU. Users running i386 systems should not upgrade to trixie. Instead, Debian recommends either reinstalling them as amd64, where possible, or retiring the hardware.
Impressive that i386 support made it all the way to August 2025. I have Debian 10 Buster running on a Pentium 3 which only EOL'd last year in June 2024. It's still useful on that hardware and I'm grateful support continued as long as it did!
OpenBSD still supports i386 for those looking for a modern OS on old 32-bit hardware.
Are you confusing "386" with 32bit? 686 is the normal 32bit arch. 386 is something from the 1980's right?

With satellite internet from starlink (and I think amazon is attempting their own version?) I don't see how running internet over wires to rural housing could ever be seen as a good expenditure of money. That said, I've always felt satellite internet to be yucky but I'm used to "satellite internet" adding 1000ms to your latency and uploads that actually run over your telephone line.
I am curious if good satellite internet will lead to an exodus of people from cities and subdivisions. I actually live in my current house because the place I wanted to build on didn't have any form of internet access.
Also, I'm not really aware of anyone that is truly without "internet access" as cell phones have basically filled that area in years ago.

Oh I'll have to pay $330 instead of $300 for my CPU. The horror!
esaym commented on What to expect from Debian/Trixie michael-prokop.at/blog/20... · Posted by u/exiguus
Fair warning: the Trixie update does not allow you to roll back. It is in theory possible but practically it not only fails every single time, but leaves the system in an inconsistent and broken state. (Code for 'soon to be unbootable').
What this means is when you find out stuff breaks, like drivers and application software, and decide the upgrade was a bad idea, you are fucked.
More notably, some of the upgrade is irreversible - like MySQL/MariaDB. The database binary format is upgraded during the upgrade. So if you discover something else broke, and you want to go back, it's going to take some work.
Ask me how I know.
You should be using an lvm snapshot. You are not even making a valid complaint.

Oh dear.

It is clearly just monitoring RSSI and everybody's acting like this is some spooky radar based technology.
