The arch wiki is a good substitute, but the gentoo wiki when it was still around and at its peak was amazing.

But I agree… Gentoo is not quite keeping up with a lot of details. Like experimenting with refind, dracut, efistubs, I felt I was in the dark a lot of the time. I ended up making very few mistakes, because the distro is very good at working for special cases even if all the details are not explained. Still my favourite distro.

If you do, their e-mails asking you to donate again are a bit weird and manipulative. Their subject lines are like “FIRSTNAME - I’ve had enough”, “Our final email” (got several of those), “It’s non-negotiable”.

EU seems to be like “you ASKED edge to be the default browser? This is unimaginable anti-competative behaviour!” towards windows, and then all like “you do you, apple, we good”.

Scrolling through I don’t see this tip I was made aware of when going up north: shower in the evening. I’m not sure it makes any significant difference, but the logic seems sound; while sleeing you build up a protective layer of fat on the surface of your skin, face especially. It helps against the cold, so don’t rinse it off in the morning.

I recently got some Toshibas and they were loud. They also presented with a seek error pre-fail after a few days (all three of them). That propably adds to the volume, but the seagate and wds I switched to just have some clicking noises. Not too bad.

When you really have to look deep into god’s mind you just have to put templeOS on a supercomputer.

Not the interview itself, but… I had a personality test before the interview and it felt so fucked up. There were always two completely different statements of, at least to me, questionable morals. Like “I enjoy people’s envy of me having better things” and “In social situations, the conversation should only be about me”. Stuff like that, but not only egoistic statements. Then you had a single scale under the two statements which went from “describes me” to “describes me very well”, for both statements, no neutral option. Stated time was like 10 minutes, I took it like in an hour. An hour of having to think through if I should say that “not having sympathy for an abandoned dog describes me” because the other option was more horrible. Felt fucking traumatized after that.

It got me the interview, but not the job.

There is a video linked in the article for context:

If I try to interpret the context, it could be C programmers just being negative to Rust because it is not C, that there is a conception of Rust programmers trying to enforce Rust on others, or that Rust programmers will break things.

How much delay could you live with between syncs? If it’s not important to be immidiate, just an end-of-the-day thing you could cronjob the rync with the update flag every so often.

Good thing you solved it, then it feels better to try and make this joke:

The reason it’s not working is because you are on the wrong network, that is nacho’ wifi.

Not sure, but I think emacs at least used to have a reputation as a resourse hog and bloated. So maybe that?

For everyone who has not already, this is so worth a read: https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

Is this a diagram for how it should work? Not how it actually works? Like I put my stuff in the ~/.bashrc, mostly because I think the debian one says like “put your fun stuff below here” or something. The green and grey lines go through the ~/.bashrc, but both of them go through the “no login” bubble in the diagram. But I know my ~/.bashrc works, so the diagram is a suggestion?

bring down the average temp by ~10 to 15c.

Your cpu temp is at 15C? Is your room very cold, otherwise will you not have problems with condensation?

Edit: nvm, you mean 10-15c, I just read it wrong in my head.

Windows 98SE for me too. I wanted to escape XP hell, so I stayed on 98SE until 2005 when I switched to linux.

My bank blocked “firefox” at some point on debian. Then it was because the version of firefox presented it self to be too old (because debian) to the bank so they blocked me. Firefox was up to date on security pathes, but the bank did not understand that and blocked.

That’s true.

If I’m not mistaken, it seems like this is a timing attack and you need a lot of attack attempts to make it work. If you have like a fail2ban rule for ssh it should mitigate this attack to quite some degree, right? (Of course updating would still be the best).

Wow, that is so dumb. I saw some crack pot dude trying to solve unsolved physics problems by using prompts like “imagine you are Einstein, then how would you solve: …”. Good to see he is not alone, but has Bill fucking Gates with similarly dumb AI takes.

Did not know that. But I’m not talking immediatly, I mean I’m lucky if I could manage within an hour after eating.
