The Diomede Islands are two islands in the Arctic Ocean, between Alaska and Siberia. Despite the distance being 4 kilometres, there is a time difference of 21 hours between them. Why?...
I recently switched to Linux (Zorin OS) and I selected “use ZFS and encrypt” during installation. Now before I can log in it asks me “please unlock disk keystore-rpool” and I have to type in the encryption password it before I’m able to get to the login screen....
I want to share a song that I really like from the 50s black-and-white Bollywood era, something that I hum almost all the time. It happens to be a dream sequence + musical style of artwork....
I remember watching (listening) to this music video of which I can’t remember the name of, but I have this short blurry memory which I’m not sure if this a Mandela effect or an actual video. Here’s what l’ve got....
Every time I try to understand how forces which hold atoms and molecules together work, I find myself wanting to ask this question: why not the other way around? Could there be an atom which has electrons and neutrons inside, and protons outside?...
Is there a good way to roll back the nvidia driver to an older version? I need 470 for my vr headset, as newer versions seem to disable video output to the headset. I have tried some logical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-driver and also some more radical stuff like sudo apt remove --purge “^nvidia-*” but that...
So I heard that the zenbook 13/14 don’t have any audio on linux, but then I found some reddit comment saying that a kernel update fixed it. Anyone here who uses one and can confirm that?
What the title basically says. Is there a way to read the startup logs of my OS (running openSUSE tumbleweed)? There are some errors while starting my system but can’t read them since they are scrolling too fast.
I don’t just say that because I’m some jingoist hirka dirka, but I have first-hand experience with both. StimDate is much better than Novartis’ Ritalin. I am a recreational user of Ritalin (I’m bipolar and been to the nuthouse twice over it, so Ritalin is not what I should be taking but I my medication makes me so tired)...
What are your favourite games to relive your nostalgia on what emulator? I used to play the hell out of Monkeyball on gamecube so I enjoy using Dolphin for that or Mario Sunshine....
I didn’t have much luck with iptv as it buffers a lot and it’s not because of my broadband speed, I already have a satellite dish on my house and was thinking about making the use of it but I don’t know where to start....
As Bluesky begins to open up more and more, it’s felt more pertinent to try to wrap my head around it. To help in this, I decided to write out my rough understanding of it from its documentation, in the hopes that it may help others and myself with any corrections from misunderstandings....
I have bought a radeon RX 6800 recently to avoid dealing with NVIDIA headaches (especially since i daily drive hyprland) and so far it has been going pretty good. But i heard that raytracing still performs way lower then on windows which would be very bothering since i really like raytracing in games. Can anyone enlighten me if...
Nearing the filling of my 14.5TB hard drive and wanting to wait a bit longer before shelling out for a 60TB raid array, I’ve been trying to replace as many x264 releases in my collection with x265 releases of equivalent quality. While popular movies are usually available in x265, less popular ones and TV shows usually have...
There’s a cool government program that trains and gets people jobs. They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers....
I’ve installed gentoo but there seems like there’s so many sacrifices. I love that it’s all open source, but I really don’t mind closed source software now and then, because after all I would be using it to play closed source games. The biggest compromise I’ve observed is the very long build times. I have a lukewarm...
