RIP sweet prince. Important Gentoo dev just died.


Jonathan David Portnoy, 29, of Wilton, died August 10, 2016. Computer wizard, vaping expert, faithful friend, and original thinker, he was known for his wit and intellect. He was widely read, had eclectic interests, and willingly shared his knowledge.

His fascination with computers began at an early age. Totally self-taught, he became a prominent member of several online communities, including IRC White Tower and Gentoo Linux. At 15, Jon was named head of Gentoo Developers Relations. He excelled at software programming, which he pursued on both a freelance and volunteer basis.

Jon also recently became an e-cigarette aficionado and enjoyed creating a wide variety of unique flavors. He loved kayaking, propagating plants from cuttings, debating politics, and listening to music, especially at an electronic dance music festival.

Jon will be deeply missed by his parents, William and Diane Portnoy, his brother Joshua, and his friends – locally and online around the world – as well as his vape customers.

Donations in his memory may be made to the Perl Foundation at

How can I stop feeling bad for asking individuals to pay me for my work?

I am a tech at a small university. I regularly get students with issues that are beyond our scope of repair, but we're allowed to freelance/contract out. Even after a decade of working, I still feel bad to ask students(or anyone in general) for $50-$100 for a HD replacement or OS install. It physically pains me to ask the people for money and I feel like a shitbag because it's such an easy job for me.

Ironically(?), I have no qualms stealing thousands in equipment every few months from each employer I've worked for. Recently, a Dean ordered a $2600 MBP(and requested we wipe the OSX partition and just run Windows). As soon as I received word, I ordered the cheapest MBP and swapped it out. I've jacked at least 10 Thinkpads and Thinkcentres in the past two months.

What's my problem?

Well, time to switch universities. Technology has gone too far.

Perhaps I can convince these people that their way of life makes me want to kill myself out of despair for society, and the world. When an identitarian is so caught up in their identity that they force other people to take extra measures just to tiptoe around the eggshells that are their egos, I wanna jump off a cliff.

>The start of school brings an annoyance that students with unconventional names or gender-nonconforming appearances understand all too well: roll call. They’ve likely spent a lifetime of first days correcting teachers and fellow students on the proper pronunciation or gender pronoun.

>Stanford University will deploy software this fall that aims to prevent officials from butchering fundamental aspects of their students’ identities. NameCoach allows students to record their name and gender pronoun for professors and other campus administrators to review before the student even sets foot on campus.

“We want to encourage a culture of respect on campus, and one of the best ways to convey respect to someone is to get their name right — and to get their pronouns right, too,” University Registrar Tom Black said in a letter to students.

So far, 300 incoming students have used the NameCoach service. Stanford welcomed roughly 1,700 freshmen last school year.
