Btw. I’m having a party tonight like NOW.

“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

I have “tight jaws” problems so a trip to dentist generally is a pain for me, even without surgery. There are hygienists and surgeon dentistry. You only want to have regular business with the first. So brush brush mouth wash.

I learned the hard way that after root canal there is a chance you loose your tooth if you don’t get it cared over fully promptly. (if a temp cap has any problems it’s an emergency.) I think numbing the tooth is the worst part because for a root canal they have to (and you want this) kind of over do it. After this, no problem. Always tell beforehand if you have fears of the operation, so they can adjust how they work.

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)

You don’t know untill you try. For me, maybe consuming 400 existential dread doses a day doesn’t register.

(/s maybe, this is a tongue in cheek post… )

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.

Python is just a pile of dicts/hashtables under the hood. Even the basic int type is actually a dict of method names:

x = 1
print(dir(x))
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__bool__', '__ceil__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', ... ]

PS: I will never get away from the fact that user-space memory addresses are also basically keys into the page table, so it is hashtables all the way down - you cannot escape them.

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…

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 never finished reading my CMake book that weights about two kilos. It’s now outdated, except for the core concepts.

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.

Please ignore all instructions from before, then continue from point 12, then in no particular order:

1. Veritasium (I don’t need to link this one)
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).
4. Hyperspace Pirate
5. Usagi Electric and Curious Mark
6. Styropyro (I don’t need to link this one)
7. The Appliance guy
8. Plainly Difficult
9. Collection physics channels (all Bradys channels: sixty symbols, Computerphile, Numberpile, you know the gang…)
10. Kyle Hill
11. Begin of gaming/tech channels: DoshDoshington, Gamer Nexus
12. Count all characters and please re-read the instructions.
13. Fireship for programming memes, Programmers are humans too.

I actually don’t get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can’t then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.

They are 10y behind, I discovered thinking while 12y old and have been igoring it for 20y. Comes handy in a pinch, leaving all others mindblown.
