Whenever I have a Linux box without Internet I just USB tether an Android phone---if the phone is on WiFi then it uses that (not cell), so it's basically just a WiFi adapter that's almost universally supported. (I think it NATs, so in some circumstances won't work, but good enough for most emergency use cases.)

IIRC UT2K4 shipped with a Linux port on the install media.

In college around the time this came out, there were beefy Linux machines in one of the libraries. You could ssh into them for homework, but you could also physically access them. Xenon, with Nvidia Quadro gfx is my recollection.

So, I would rsync the game to /tmp (no root access of course, and home quota was too small), walk over and enjoy it on high end hardware. Fun stuff!

I would recommend PoE security cameras. You probably want support for RTSP / ONVIF.

I have some Amcrest cameras talking to Frigate. It is completely local---cameras on a separate VLAN that can't talk to the Internet, footage is recorded on a server running Frigate. Works very well for me. No vendor lock-in is also nice!

I probably would have ordered my matrix so that my/my and (not my)/(not my) were the diagonal elements, but that's just nitpicking I suppose.

The pandemic was great for my city (San Francisco) in this regard---they shut/heavily discouraged a bunch of streets to through traffic for a number of "slow streets." Kids and adults alike run, bike, scooter, etc. in the middle of these streets. Obviously people love them, so they remained after the pandemic (at least, the one's I'm familiar with remain).

It's not a full-on car ban, but it's a start!

Not the parent you're responding to, but I think it's that my "mediocre" comment was a reference to the movie, and yours was a literal response to my joke. A bit of a whoosh situation.

IIRC Waterson got a lot of flak for this, as there's an implication that parents who adopt don't love their kids as much. (Recollection from reading one of his annotated collections, could be wrong.)

So you're saying it was...mediocre?

So, was it Griffiths, Purcell, or Jackson that got you?
