Life is a gamble - you don't know how things will turn out even if you have good cards or play right. So if you are always going for surety you are not playing it right.

Amazon's webshit is falling over, and they couldn't post an update to their status page because pushing updates to their status page relies on the webshit that's falling over.

Great apes, including chimpanzees and orangutans, have absolutely no appreciation of music whatsoever. Research has shown they can’t tell the difference between Beethoven and Bieber, and that music is all just meaningless sound to them.

Wow, switching to MuQSS CPU scheduler made my KDE desktop very much response when CPU usage goes above 50% in all cores.
But apparently mainstream Linux kernel does not come with this scheduler - I have a question for Linus Torvalds - if you still want desktop (instead of server) then why the fuck this scheduler isn't merged into mainstream kernel?
