@badlogic @etchedpixels And I'd hazard a guess that shock you got was nowhere near the dangerous range. I can feel USB supplies leaking currents through me. I got shocks from electric fence, and they can feel nasty... and yes you should stay away from CRTs, but home electronics should not really be trying to hurt you.

@etchedpixels @badlogic There should be resistors across the capacitors so that electronics is not dangerous hours after powerdown, no?

@stevenimpson Actually... there's better option. Real Linux... that can still may not run your banking app, but is actually reasonable way forward. Check out Mobian / Droidian / PostmarketOS.

@etchedpixels Some girl here got an idea "I can use app on my smartphone to tell which mushrooms are edible". I tried to explain that smartphone app was not designed for this and definitely should not be used for this. "But we were using it in school". :-(

@mkyral @JanPetrus @martinkroul @sesivany Tak ono nakonec "aplikace jako aplikace", ale v praxi je to slozitejsi. Jo, u webu je vic prace s udrzovanim a nekdo plati elektrinu. Nejak jsem cekal ze kdyz budou data, aplikace se "napisou samy", ale ony mapy jsou bohuzel komplikovany.

@mxk @kernellogger @hrw So... the laptop shell is not in good enough shape to warrant major investment. I use Thinkpad X220 a bit more, but X60 is still good backup machine. I wonder if there are good replacements? Will I like X280 or something?

@kernellogger @mxk @hrw Yep, sorry for confusion. x32 clearly needs better and longer name, because this is too easy to confused. Like pointer32-on-x86-64 :-).

@fell @bdiederik "Reboot to..." is great when it works. Working boot menu is still useful when things go wrong.

@jancibulka Jestli zakon vyzaduje logovani toho kdy byla aplikace otevrena, tak je cas a) lyncovat toho kdo to prosadil a b) zmenit zakon. Takhle si opravdu "maximalni duraz na soukromi" nepredstavuju.

@BrucePerens_K6BP Is it illegal to interfere with the election? It is here. If someone falsely tells you to go home, documenting that may be worth it.

Interesting story -- https://www.gotheborg.se/en/news/rescue-of-sailing-boat/ -- being rescued by 50 meter sailboat. I was wondering if they did rescue on sails, Gotheborg has 1MW propulsion system, so answer is likely no.

@mkyral @JanPetrus @martinkroul @sesivany Na vlastnim PC by udrzba a provoz nemela byt nijak strasna. Presto nejbliz turisticke navigaci je Foxtrotgps a nejbliz auto navigaci byl Monav, nez ho rozbil QT update. Kdyz nekdo napise nec rozumneho, tak se snad prihlasim jako dobrovolnik na udrzbu...
