Review: System 76 Wild Dog Pro
I got an order confirmation almost immediately with an estimate of 2 to 6 days to ship. Soon after that I got a note stating that the Wild Dog was running toward the latter end of that range. I figured I could just use my laptop until the new machine arrived if necessary, and I waited.
While I was waiting, I still continued to use my old desktop. I noticed the rebooting issue happened toward the end of the day. It finally dawned on me (I’m a little thick) that it might be heat related. I crawled under the desk to find that the power supply fan wasn’t working. I ordered a new one of those to see if it would help.

Tails official mysterious during interview
Tails – a Debian-based Linux distribution focused on privacy and online anonymity – recently released its “2.0” update. I reached out to the Tails press team to ask them a few questions, the full answers to which I am including below.
Interestingly, I'm not entirely certain exactly who I was talking with. I know I was communicating with the official Tails Press mailing list but to whom… I haven't the foggiest. Here's what happened when I asked the question directly:
Lunduke: “Any names that you'd like to be associated with the press list in the article? Or are your names top-secret? :)”
Tails: “Many of our names can be seen on our development mailing list, but we don't think that any name in particular is relevant for this interview.”
