It's interesting that conservatives would try to masquerade as libertarians, considering that conservatives are the one that want to and have tread all over our rights. Hopefully nobody is falling for it. They are essentially the antithesis of liberty and freedom; see voting, abortion, lgbtq rights, and on and on and on...

I've been looking into getting a heat pump in the northern US and for heating it doesn't seem to be worth it quite yet. The problem where I'm at is that it gets very cold and natural gas is pretty cheap but electricity is expensive. I hope this changes soon. It would be a no brainer if I were replacing a resistive heater though.

Hey, if these companies want the job done right they should hire a professional to do it! ;)

oflag=direct

Prevents the writes from piling up in the cache. dd will report the transfer is done when the writes have been cached so this setting prevents dd from exiting until the data has been written completely to the block device.

The perfect attire for those times when you have a deer hunting trip in the morning and a political rally in the evening!

Neat! I'll have to try that out.

dd, or cat with a shell redirect are all you need to write that iso.

My trouble with dd is all the flags I need to remember to make it fast and more convenient. dd if=file of=/dev/device oflag=direct status=progress bs=1M is there anything I'm missing?

Cook the turkey upside down and it will baste itself. Then flip the turkey over and broil for 5 min to crisp the skin and make it look a little nicer.

Oh yeah it's totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I'll "send to Kodi" from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn't a vc1 encode apparently).

Yeah I can't speak to that as I don't have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that's a proprietary Microsoft codec so that's probably why I didn't encode anything with it.

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec.. Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.
