“When you do things right, people won’t notice and it’s like you have done nothing at all.”

Futurama or something something quote likely not word-to-word correct.

I understood the paperclips reference! :D

100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don’t think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a … no.)

Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can’t get enough. (not horror really, but still)

To be fair, All Your Base Are Belong To Us is still a banger that I may want to hear on my death bed.

Edit: what this does to me is that there is now programming language called “zig”, so you now can move zig.

The point when the AI hallucinations become useful is the point where I raise my eye brows. This not one of those.

The billions that got pumped into vaxine research… The mRNA method has received a nobel prize. Before this we had no good way (or as safe) to pre-train the immune system to “if you see this (virus, etc.) again, raise the alarms”. Now we do.

Edit: updated the wording a bit.

I do this exact same expression when I’m forced to gain knowledge of something potentially personally catastrophic…

This “news” looks pure FUD + confusion of what actually happened, and I think is best to be ignored until it can be read coherently from the next weeks news paper… I’m only commenting because of my local news began to propel this shit…

This was truly a wtf moment of the month.

Last time I spent time watching him was when he freaking fixed the kexec syscall for IBM PowerPCs. for free

permanently attached USB SSDs are supposed to be mounted

Just mount them somewhere under / device, so if a disk/mount fails the mounts depended on the path can´t also fail.

I keep my permanent mounts at /media/ and I have a udev rule, that all auto mounted media goes there, so /mnt stays empty. A funny case is that my projects BTRFS sub-volume also is mounted this way, although it is technically on the same device.

For example, the new .config directory in the home directory.

I hope slowly but surely no program will ever dump its config(s) as ~/.xyz.conf (or even worse in a program specific ~/.thisapp/; The ~/.config/ scheme works as long as the programs don’t repeat the bad way of dumping files as ~/.config/thisconfig.txt. (I’m looking at you kde folks…) A unique dir in .config directory should be mandatory.

If I ever need to shed some cruft accumulated over the years in ~/.config/ this would make it a lot easier.

Jokes on merge… when a rebase editing goes wrong after +15 commits and six hours, and git hits you with a leadpipe: “do it. Do it again, or reassemble your branch from the reflog.” I.e. you commited a change very early, went over bunch of commits resolving/fixing/improving them and at middle way forget if you should commit --amend or rebase --continue to move forward. Choose wrong, and two large change-sets get irreversilbly squashed together (that absolutely shouldn’t), with no way to undo. Cheers. 👍

The default systemd target to boot into can be overriden from the kernel command line.

If the GUI ever gets broken, having a such fallback boot entry just for the (VT) console mode is invaluable. (The boot-entry can reuse the same kernel and initrd images from the regular boot.)

More like defending TSMC… large majority of all high-tech silicon is made in Taiwan. If that foundry burns, the consequences would be astronomical. The possible consequences are already at a point they could make threats via self-sabotage.

I tried Luks and BTRFS more than 6 times leading to a script error each and every time.

This was actually my experience also, so I went back to a manual install to just get it done. I think the archinstall script won’t get any configuration of device-mapper/LVM right (including disk encryption with cryptsetup). The disk encrypt setup had even more hoops to go through than just LVM.

Fire.

Why would learning be gatekeeping? I wish I could just teach my secrets… The manuals are only a shallow guide to knowledge. E.g. ls, has condensed for me to ls -laR mostly, and that ls<tab> usually gives tools that list something. ch<tab> gives tools to “change something”, like chmod. mk<tab> to “create something” mkdir etc.

I may navigate in the terminal, but putting me at front of Blender etc. and I’m back to crawling speed of RTFM, and all I would see is a zoo of buttons.

2. Applied science (which is a channel), lately some high-tech DIY 1. that have risen from it’s extraordinary rare upload void.
3. Ex&Fire + other chemchannels. A comedian pretending to be a chemist. Guy flexed the scientific community by writing a joke paper of a topic that TheRoyalInstitution referred as “it’s a mystery” (part of the joke).

What I’m doing wrong? I have the top two and 1/2, and I’m missing most of the bottom half? (I’m basically standing on a glass strand, which is constantly on verge of collapsing)
