Thank the gods.... I am, and always shall remain, a happy recluse in my compound....just... Enjoying the power of my supercomputer. I am not a brawler, at heart. (I guess those guys will think twice....next time.) Uncouth, is the word..... And, Sartorially Speaking....Downright SHAMEFUL, as well....

Am I catching up?

In fact, here is one of my self-portraits taken a few years back....

Late for what? I began using Linux in the year 2000. I would have begun using Linux earlier, but it was only in the year 2000 that Linux sent me his testimonial of encouragement. I trust anyone who works full-time in pajamas.

My bill, too, was much higher this past month....around Bt.6000.00 Still, I am happy to have the electrical power supplied to me to keep me cool. Bill is up about 35 percent, in fact.

If you had one of these, as do I, then you would spend every waking moment in front of it....just CREAMING, from morning to night.... I am sure that you will agree with me on THIS POINT, at least, for once in your life..... Of course, I install openSUSE on almost everything..... When I do my computing, I do my computing ONLY in EXAFLOPS..... I plan on training my own LANGUAGE MODELS.... But, I am developing my own software, choosing not to use CSoft, using SUSE. Anyone here, willing, is welcome to join my project. You can download the WHITEPAPER here from this link..... https://8968533.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8968533/Whitepapers/Cerebras-Whitepaper-ProgrammingAtScale.pdf As SUSE loves to say: "Have A Lot of Fun"

Horrible? How? I like the people, like Omar....

Yes...but.... I just built a SUPERCOMPUTER which is heavy and takes up two of my large workstation desks. The thing is HUGE! I hate phones. I still use my NOTE4, in fact. In use for 10 years, and I have no plan to replace it. Why pay more money to Apple or Samsung when I do not need to do so?

Thanks. Very interesting. The weather is good, too.

Nobody enjoys needing to apply for a retirement visa. The Nile is beautiful in he sunset. The Nile flows grey just at dusk, and maybe at dawn, as well....

Dear Folks, I just watched a documentary about Omar. Omar spent many of his best final days in Egypt. So then, would Egypt be a good Plan-B, just in case Thailand retirement might no longer be an option? Are the people just as friendly as here? And, what about the food? Also, what might one do in Egypt, after visiting the temples there, in Egypt? The Nile is a magnificent river. Also, watching it flow past the city of Cairo, in the moonlight, seems to be spectacular. Also, is it true what they say, that sand gets everywhere? Is it easy to make friends with Egyptians? What else might there to be known...before.... Retiring to Egypt/ Thank you. Regards.... Note: Do you think it was very believable that, in the film Dr. Z, Omar played such a major role. He never seemed so very Russian, to me. Even though he enjoyed walking through snow drifts. Geards, Gamma

In Manila, the prefrontal cortex is crucial if one wishes to stay on he straight and narrow. If your prefrontal cortex is weak, then do not go there.

Thai dating, is not really dating. Most Thais in Thailand rely on word of mouth to find the Giks they need, most afternoons. In Thai culture, strict monogamy seems to not be given the highest priority. In Thai culture, it is the mother-son relationship which is most sacred. And, probably.....THIS is why everybody loves Giks, and Giking about, so popular here. I would love a Gik....if... I were not so celibate all of the time. I have never had a Gik relationship. And, this is one of my deepest regrets.

What ever happened to your Profile photo? I will miss it, much.... What do you call that?... A semi-.....WHAT? (Semi-Frog?)

Dear Folks, There once was a day, very far back, when the old stodgy British stilted ones ruled this part of the world. Now, mostly, these same guys, if they have not already left, in one way or another, either six-feet under, or some other way, by, for example.... Being flown back to England, in a medevac plane, to gasp out and eek out their dying days in the isle from whence they came..... Seem to hold their noses high, as if they were still living in the Days of Raj. Hard to say if they might actually be more intelligent than most of us commoners, but they pretend to believe that they are. So, the question is: Do you: a. Find them insufferable? b. Find they pitiable? c. Find they amusing? It seems to me that their main claim to fame is that they still speak with this insufferable British accent of the years before the war. If they do not get flown back to the British Isles, then what might become of them if they remain here in SE Asia? It's just their sheer pretentiousness which makes them so very difficult to endure. There once was a day when just being British meant that one felt entitled..... To something. Is this the case now? Not hardly..... Probably, ten years from today, or less, most of these old guys will be underground, anyway. Still, even today, there are a few left hanging around these parts. Where they every really good for much of anything, many years ago, in the first place? Or, are they just as stuffy now....as they were.... Back then? And, how do you even deal with them, when you meet one of them, before they kick off.... I am sure you have met one or two in recent decades. Such weird anachronisms in their own right! Regards, Gamma G.

Of course...just one more consideration.... People like me are tired of hooking-up with Windows and Microsoft. With this new Windows-11, MS has truly crossed the Rubicon....

WOW....I say.....WOW! You actually spout the truth, the truth that all SHOULD know....by now..... Yes, this is one of the BEST comments I have read on TV....in many months. In fact....as time goes by (or should I say: as time has gone by, and passes on).....there is less and less offered by Windows that Linux cannot offer better, based on a far better OS. Your prescient and valid comment is nothing but further refreshment to mine ears. THIS is the MAIN reason that.....a few months ago..... I decided to FINALLY and FOREVER shuck and shun Windows.....Forever, and Forever, til Kingdom Come..... There is REALLY nothing that I cannot do, these days, for my work, using Linux...and so..... It's, for me, these days...... Bye, Bye, Windows..... And, you can even think of my thinking in another more musical way, if you will.... No more Monopolists for Me, I say! Still, I do love the humor of Gates, even though it destroyed so such. You cannot stifle technology, as Gates did, without hurting millions. No wonder he builds huge Armageddon-proof bunkers under his magnificent residences. Give me Linux, any day.

People like me. The ones in the know. I thought you understood this.....

"I was quoted 100k to remove a hemorrhoid. Outrageous." How BIG was it? If it were as big as a basketball, then maybe the price was right....

And, concerning Lou Reed VS Amy Winehouse....if you look on the stage: Lou Reed: And the Colored Girls say.... Amy Winehouse: And the Black Boys go...... The same.... Check it out! Amy must have done this quite intentionally.... She was no dummy.... And, don't be a dummy......either..... USE Linux And, begin using Linux, now, before you are too dumb in your old age to make the changeover.... Just my best advice to you. LINUX DESKTOP is the wave of the future. Linux will never die. And, it will just get stronger, even though this might take some time of adoption...yet.... It WILL HAPPEN.... Don't get left behind, Folks.....! Do NOT get left behind! Best advice I can give to you, these days.... Take care.... Gamma G.

Hi Folks, (This TOPIC is not really a Topic for any computer forum, but more just a casual topic for some place like....the....PUB on TV.....) I just thought that the time is now ripe for all of us to flee Windows-11, in favor of some Linux Flavor, like rats from a sinking ship. In my case, I have been using Linux for about 25 years. In the early years of using Linux, well then Linux was not so very easy to install and use as it is now. But, more importantly, why is this new introduction of Windows-11 causing so many more people to dump the newest Windows OS version/ There are many reasons, such as the newly-introduced increased intrusiveness of the new Windows offering. Personally, for me, I will never again register my email, my personal data, NOTHING, with Windows. Sure, it's true that Google requires registering a LOT of info in order to use Google products and tools, etc. But, Google is REQUIRED for my daily life....and...... Windows is NOT required for me to use, if I choose not to. Up to this point, using Windows 7, then 8, then 10, I was pretty OF with it....just because Windows encouraged me to use pirated editions of their software. However, beginning now....MS has become much more rigid and stringent in their requirements to login to Microsoft Corp, and begin to toe the MS line. There once was a time when one could use pirated MS Windows pretty anonymously, and they did not care. Now, though, perhaps due to market saturation, and the shift to subscription-type payments to MS, things are changing. We can see what lies ahead for users of Windows, as MS plans for the future. THIS is the main reason, about a month ago, I said..... NO, NO, NO.....Just like Amy Winehouse...... I just don't want to stay hooked on Windows....for.....ANYTHING, now or in the future. OpenSUSE is just as good as WINDOWS, or, some say....even better. So, this is the main reason, BEING SUCH A LAZY PERSON MYSELF, that I have realized that I must get off my duff, and....then... Just spend a few hours to remove Windows from ALL my computers...and move to openSUSE. Also, I feel this great and wonderful sense of NOSTALGIA by returning to where I was, eight years ago....just..... Using openSUSE. You can pick your own personal Linux Flavor if you like, and I am not saying you should choose to use openSUSE....but.... I am only saying that you would be pretty foolish NOT to. So, I am just asking the question: Are you ready to dump WINDOWS...... BIG TIME, like Trump always loves to say? After you move, THIS TIME, you will NEVER LOOK BACK....just as I WILL NOT....ever.....ever again. See you on the LINUX side guys,.....when... You finally see the light of day.... Best regards, And wishing you well with the Linux Kernel..... Gamma G. Note: Here, in my opinion, should be the Mascot for the Linux Kernel..... Note2: So sorry about poor Amy..... I loved her almost as much as I love Linus..... NOTE3: Windows and MS is just no....FUN...anymore.....! LINUX is just about as much fun as AMY! Also, as we all know...... TORVALDS loves to work in his pajamas....... (did you know that? I did....) NOTE4: RIP....Amy..... You were and ARE GREAT..... Amazing, too! NOTE5: RIP Freddy and Bowie, too..... EVERYONE NEEDS LINUX......especially TODAY!!!!!!

Hey, Man! I have an actual question for you. But, I also realize you might not wish to answer me, since, as you know.... You consider me such a NIT.... But, you can deign to answer my question if you will, or not. a. Would you consider it better to do a complete reinstall of openSUSE 15.6 (on June 12th)? b. Or, would you consider it just as good to upgrade openSUSE 15.5 to 15.6. c. I am willing to do either one, of course. But, if there is really no advantage to doing so...then I might not re-install the OS, and just go with the upgrade. d. Also, at this early stage in my use of/switch over to openSUSE, I really don't think there might be much more effort in doing a new install of openSUSE 15.6. There is no doubt, in my pea brain, that you have been using opnenSUSE a lot more than I have during the past 8 years. And, I am a bit concerned that upgrading instead of re-installing from scratch, might lead to problems in the future. My intention is to: Install openSUSE 15.6, and then just use it for the next three or four years...... Still, since I realize that a very few of my comments on the Forum might seem a bit...Far Out....then you might not take me seriously, this time. It's like the old Fable of.... Francis Barlow's illustration of the fable, 1687 Of course I will appreciate your thinking....IF..... You choose to answer this question. And, I guess, there might be different opinions on this, as well. In closing: I would caution you about ever crying wolf. And, I should know better, myself, although.... I know that I will never be able to help myself, or discourage myself, from my inborn facetiousness. Take care....if you will.....!

Dear Folks, I do not like tats on ladies. Where I grew up, tats were considered to be nothing but downright GAUCHE! But, these days, it seems that almost everyone and everybody is hell-bent on covering themselves with multicolored ink, and ink that is not easily washed off. This is not a new fad, of course. But then.... When will it ever stop? I would never date a woman with tats, just because I would not know whether to read her or bed her. When I first read Moby Dick, I could not imagine that a harpooner would choose to cover himself with ink. And yet, today, so many stylish women (not really stylish, of course, nor educated, either), seem to be competing for attention with Mr. Queequeg. I find it unnerving when I see a woman attend a formal function, only to show her back, completely covered in illustrations, sort of looking like the posters we might have expected to see, years ago, in San Francisco, in Haight-Ashbury. What is the world coming to, these days, anyway? Have they no common sense? Don't they care about their skin, these women? And what happened to the good old days when women would pay much money to buy ....skin creams....such as Chanel, and other brands? All that I have to say is that I am truly disgusted at this sight, and also the typical uncaring, present today, for one's own precious skin, not to mention.... A bit of DECENCY, too! So then, what is your opinion? Has the pendulum now swung far too far from proper decorum? One of the scariest movies for me, when I was young, was the great Steiger film, The Illustrated Man..... And, now, this nightmare seems to be haunting me....every time....I venture outside my house.... With every woman and her sister, not to mention their menfolks, covered from head to toe in INK! Will this never end? I mean, I know that it will end....and I know this will not end well, for these NITWITS who take sadistic pleasure in .... Disfiguring themselves. What are your thoughts, Folks? Thanks and Regards, Gamma G. NOTE: Even on Nantucket, these days, .... Nantucket which was once a huge whaling community...., nobody runs around looking like Queequeg carrying a harpoon! These days, most of the people living on the island are wealthy, and have a touch of class. They would NEVER be caught dead covered from head to toe in INK! So then... What's going on around here? The INK just keeps on spreading..... And, spreading!

This was not a serious suggestion, obviouly. But, use your own judgement. It's just that some people on this Forum doubt the veracity of my comments. I am not here to prove every single little statement made by me. Believe or not believe, and this is ups to you. I have switched all my computers to openSUSE, and I am loving it.

Sorry. I meant to say that I have 15 TBytes of space on Google Drive. 14 TBytes on SSDs and HDDs. Still, not enough storage for me, of course.
