It should be an option for those outside the top 1%. Let’s be honest, plenty of jobs suck and a lot of people who look after a children professionally are not the brightest sparks in the fire (at least where I am). Why should someone be forced to do a crap job then give all that salary to someone less cultures than the to look after their kids. Why not just do it themselves?

If one of you has a good, full-time job that should cover basic living expenses. It should also not be looked down. My wife is a stay at home mum, she is also a feminist and I certainly did not not force her to to work. The only thing we regret is the way people (especially other women but not only) look down on her.

Either Slackware or Red Hat Linux 5, can’t remember. I do remember that when I first installed RH5 I used “Hick” for my language.

That didn’t end well last time though

No need for poisoning. Where he was -30°C is normal at this time of year. Not giving him a coat would have been enough to kill him

You’ve never used find have you? Let’s not even get started on the config file syntax for sendmail either.

Sysadmins have no idea what they are doing, we’re just one step ahead of the rest of you at googling stuff.

Tape a bunch of drinking straws to the back of a Tonka truck. That’s basically what N Korea have done after all.

Not really, more like:

Poor guy claims to be able to afford nice things, waves a load of junk dragged from the local scrap yard in front of the local homeless guys claiming it is amazing.

Valid point, didn’t think of that.

Kodi is what you are looking for.

Run it on Pi 4 or a NUC. We use Disney+ and Netflix on ours, although Prime video does not work (although it should, I just have not made any effort yet).

You have basically just described Kodi.

Look into “digital signage” panels.

Not cheap, but they are basically a 49"+ computer monitor that is rated for 24/7 usage.

That 3D file system browser (I presume you’re talking about Jurassic Park) was totally real.

It was a tech demo that SGI included with IRIX called “fsn”. Ironically, at the time, many people criticised it for being unrealistic. There is an open source clone called “fsv”.
