It is very carbrain rot but I call them highway rules. On countries that drive on the right, the right side if for on-off ramps and cruising. Left side is for passing. No one expects to be passed on the right side, because that is the biggest blind spot on cars. Switch for countries that drive on the left side.
The problem is that on Linux it competes with bash and dozens of way better terminals.
Just to put this out there, because it was discussed in a recent first aid course I attended. This is coming from experienced emergency care specialists and paramedics, not me. Don’t use regular tampons to treat nasal bleeding. Use purpose made nasal tampons. Unless you can apply direct pressure to the nasal tissue inside you head, regular tampons will only pool blood, cause clots to accumulate and risk asphyxiation or lodged clots to get infected way too close to the brain—or worse, lung infections from aspirated blood.
For what they are, menstrual tampons aren’t actually that useful or absorbent. But absorbent is not something you want when treating wounds anyways. You want to stop the bleeding, not just to absorb the blood leaving the body, so what you actually need is to apply pressure on wounds. They also rip away the clotted tissue when removed, restarting the bleeding all over again.
Tampons are a quirky anecdote from those unprepared. But if you are taking the time to prepare then gauze, and cotton or muslin triangular bandages are far more versatile and useful for actual first aid.
That’s Bob Anderson’s masterpiece. Greatest film sword stuntman and choreographer ever, Darth Vader himself. Although I would say that the best film depictions of sword fighting have to be Alatriste for rapier fencing and Rob Roy (1995) for the broadsword. The Last Duel was also both entertaining and realistic.
The Rehearsal is the greatest analysis of the relationship of movie, TV and reality ever put to film. It’s like an adaptation of Baudrillard Simulacres et simulation. The simulacra turns into the reality that reality is forced to conform to. Pure philosophical musings on the wildest most ridiculous scene premises. It strips LA film culture naked and ridicules it without any sort of shame.
I don’t know about OP, but I remember reading and watching a lot of videos about blue hat hacker, whose sole job is to break things then report to secops so they fix it. They test everything including social hacks and physical ingress testing (getting in and out of a place they aren’t supposed to be in). One described their job as professional trespasser. The crazy shit they did was simple and could get them walking right into data centers without anyone noticing.
People are using NAS for things they aren’t meant to do. They are a storage service and aren’t supposed to be anything else. In a typical data center model, NAS servers are intermediate storage. Meant for fast data transfers, massive storage capabilities and redundant disk fault tolerance. We are talking hundreds of hard drives and hundred gigabit connection speeds inside the data center. This is expensive to run, so they are also very energy efficient, meant to keep the least amount of required disks spinning at any given moment.
They are not for video rendering, data wrangling, calculations or hosting dozens of docker containers. That’s what servers are for.
Servers have the processing power and host the actual services. They then request data from a NAS as needed. For example, a web service with tons of images and video will only have the site logic and UI images on the server itself. The content, video and images, will be on the NAS. The server will have a temporary cache where it will copy the most frequently accessed content and new content on demand. Any format conversion, video encoding, etc. Will be done by the server, not the NAS.
Now, on self-hosting of course, anything goes and they are just computers at the end of the day. But if a machine was purpose made for being a NAS server, it won’t have the most powerful processor, and that’s by design. They will have, however, an insane amount of sata, PCI-e channels and drive bays. And a ton of sophisticated hardware for data redundancy, hotswap capacity and high speed networks that is less frequent in servers.
Beware, Gnucash is meant to be pro level accounting software. Is not a simple ledger or a tech/crypto gateway. I also use it for my personal life, but there’s like 30% of features I don’t use because they’re business accounting stuff I don’t need. It predates the cloud, it cares not for the latest trends, it crunches numbers and spits out reports. That’s part of what I like about it. It is not simple but it also isn’t bloated.
Go into teaching. I love to assist others in their learning voyage, I love science, research, classes. However, financial realities mean that I would be starving if I pursued that path. So I find fulfillment in adjacent activities in my current line of work. I would also have an electronics workshop, repairing computers and other electronics for fun.
Have you heard of the Trash Network and Garbage Time?
On the contrary. It relies on the premise of segregating binaries, config and data. But since it is only running one app, then it is a bare minimum version of it. Most containers systems include elements that also deduplicate common required binaries. So, the containers are usually very small and efficient. While a traditional system’s libraries could balloon to dozens of gigabytes, pieces of which are only used at a time by different software. Containers can be made headless and barebones very easily. Cutting the fat, and leaving only the most essential libraries. Fitting in very tiny and underpowered hardware applications without losing functionality or performance.
Don’t be afraid of it, it’s like Lego but for software.
Language is natural to humans. It would be hard, but you’ll eventually get there if there’s no alternative. Think that babies learn how to speak without having any previous language of reference. It’s just a thing our brain does spontaneously. Watch or read Shogun, you’ll notice how multilingualism is actually more common than we think. And historically people have always spoken several languages. Depending on which point in time you’d get to ancient Egypt (we are talking about a really long period of time, over 3 thousand years), the high class would probably also speak Greek, Latin, or Arabic. Depending on diplomatic relations and pressures. Not to mention the lay people would also probably speak other languages alongside Egyptian, like Domari and Hebrew.
Another interesting thought, if you traveled to late ancient Egypt, learned to speak there, let’s say five years or so. Then traveled further back in time to early ancient Egypt, you probably won’t understand a single word again. If you traveled to the 800s England, you wouldn’t understand the English they would speak.
Cheap protectors suck, no surprise there. Go with a reputable brand and have a shop install it. I’ve never had any problem and they definitely work. The glass used on modern phones is strong but not infallible, it will eventually scuff and break. You’d be surprised by the amount of stuff you find in everyday life that’s harder than even the strongest gorilla glass. Even then, any high density material the glass is resistant to, will eventually wear it out with enough prolonged friction.
All you have to accept is that screen protectors and cases are like car tires, or shoes, you do have to change them eventually. The idea is that they take the wear and tear instead of the phone itself, and for that they are perfect. Just because your feet could take a hike up a mountain barefoot doesn’t mean it is not a good idea to wear shoes.
High quality protectors come with microfiber cloth cleaners to keep the phone free of dirt and oil, spray with alcohol or slightly soapy water. You should do it to your phone too, even if you don’t use a screen protector, something that is always in your hands and with you everywhere does get filthy and dirty. It’s just basic hygiene.
In the Soviet Union, the Proletariat had taken control
Then why did they kill so many peasants and workers?
The outcome was quite positive for the Working Class.
Except for the ones who are dead.
[…] implementation of the dictatorship [of the proletariat] was clearly defined by Lenin as early as in 1906, when he argued it must involve “unlimited power based on force and not on law,” power that is “absolutely unrestricted by any rules whatever and based directly on violence.”
Leszek Kołakowski
Never idolize anyone. I think the lack of certainty in the number of deaths Lenin was responsible for adds more horror to his decisions. No matter how pretty his ideas were, or how cute he looked with a cat, an oligarch is an oligarch, and as soon as a revolutionary acquires power, they become the oppressor.
Fascism has no ideology. They will just take any varnish that makes them look acceptable in the short term. Just like fake tan, it’s just gold paint over a turd.
Immutables are absolutely viable for tinkering. The most customized system I’ve ever had was an immutable distro, and I could tinker with 100% confidence that I would never lose the system.
I watch quite a lot of series and enjoy some of them. TV has never been too good, and nowadays its the most obvious that write-as-you-go model has blatant flaws. Storytelling is difficult enough already, but it’s worse when you don’t know how many episodes you actually have to tell the story, and you have to argue with other writers to include your scenes and plot lines.
I constantly find myself enjoying miniseries the most. The ending makes the story. So, the second best shows are those where every season or series has a self-contained opening and ending arcs. Cliffhangers bore me, most hooks are lost on me. Usually when characters seem to meander and roam aimlessly is because the writers are lost as well. And plots of convenience (where magically something just happened by chance to create or resolve a new plotline, or deus ex machina) just completely bore me.
So, anyways, to answer the question. True Blood lost me completely midway second season. Awesome world, but the writers didn’t know how to write for shit.
Annoyed as all hell, but not fucked at all. The phone locks itself if snatched away. A phone call, and a brief access to android lock later and now the thief has a worthless paperweight. This can happen in a matter of seconds if theft protection works, or a couple of minutes while I find someone who would lend me their phone, faster if I have my smartwatch with me. Carriers on my country also disable IMEIs across all carriers and on the whole territory when phones are reported stolen. Everything on my phone is backed up elsewhere, so I won’t actually lose much, and my data would be fairly protected. They could disassemble it and try to decrypt the storage, but good luck with that if they are not law enforcement or doesn’t have the fancy forensic toys.
