Loud and powerful sneezers, have you figured out a way to tame your sneezes?
  • EVERYONE STOP TRYING TO HOLD IT IN!!!! The scream is because you’re using your vocal cords. Stop using them when you sneeze.

    For example: -Say “ahhhhh” like a doctor is checking your throat. You’re using your vocal chords while exhaling

    -Okay now just exhale. Now you’re NOT using your vocal cords.

    That is the difference between using your vocal cords and not using them. You just have to not use your vocal cords when you sneeze to stop yelling.

    YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete
  • I’m pretty happy with Nebula. I tried it back when it was still bundled with curiosity stream but now I just subscribe to nebula.

    It obviously isn’t anywhere near a full YouTube replacement, but it’s pretty good.

    The evolution of Picasso's style
  • “Visiting an exhibition of children's drawings, Picasso (according to Roland Penrose) said: “When I was their age I could draw like Raphael, but it took me a lifetime to learn to draw like them.””

    I saw this quote on a display when I was at the Picasso museum in Malaga last summer

    Linux in hospitals?
  • Hospital SysAdmin here.

    Our infrastructure is roughly 95% windows and 5% Linux or Unix. Simply put: the requirements of the software/systems that the hospital requires to function properly is what dictates the OS.

    We have a couple of major systems running on a handful of AIX Unix boxes and several dozen other systems that run RHEL, Cent, and Ubuntu. Not including hypervisors, the rest of our infrastructure is windows based and ALL of our workstations are windows.

    Every app is unique, and annoyingly there is no consistency within all of a single companies applications. For example, I’m working on a GE Carescape upgrade which uses CentOS 7 but GE Time and Attendance uses Windows Server.
