My boy went and machined his lodge!

Funny thing. Some of my Norwegian family came to the US for healthcare they couldn't get in Norway. I believe it was some type of heart surgery one time and and I can't remember the other. So while it is expensive and out of pocket you can actually get that surgery when you need it.

Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that even the United States FBI recommended using ad blocking extensions to protect yourself online.

Eliminate the submiminum wage mentioned in the article, then increase the minimum wage to something you can live on

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.
