I saw this being released somewhere, and I’ve never heard about this movie before. Such a shame, looks like they haven’t invested in promotion that much as I’d be right within their target audience.

jordanlund ,

If you see movies in theaters there have been trailers all over for a while now.

It’s definitely been big news for a while in the Gran Turismo community.

It’s neat that they made the poster look kinda like a book cover.

That was the day we all learned what rootkits were. I remember listening to TWIT talking about it when it happened.

lolcatnip , to science in TIL before CT and MRI’s were available, doctors used to replace the fluid in and around the brain with air to do imaging with X-rays.

I know someone who had a leak of CSF after getting a spinal tap, and the pain was absolutely crippling if she did anything but lie flat on her back. No medicine did anything to help. I can’t even imagine how painful it must be to have the CSF removed completely.

db2 , to linux in Following Red Hat's lead, Linus Torvalds will only publish Linux Kernel code to paid contributors

we fully support you in expanding Linux capabilities rather than imitating them

Just in case anyone is confused by that statement, it’s the distros that dropped x86 32-bit, the kernel still has it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the botched execution of Mary Queen of Scots was the motivation for the guillotine: https://allthatsinteresting.com/mary-queen-of-scots-execution

Eyck_of_denesle , to linux in What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

Btrfs cause I’m limited on storage rn. So the compression saves me good amount of space.

Is there a way to tell how much space compresses? Would that be a game changer for instatlling games I wonder.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

Yes. You need to install compsize. Wouldn’t call it a game changer but i only have 256gb ssd so it’s a life saver for me.

Great, thank you!

nyan , to linux in What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

ext4 on all hard disks, but my installs are all several years old at this point, and I might choose differently if I were starting over from scratch. The boot partition on the ancient laptop might actually be ext2; I don’t remember and it’s certainly old enough that that might still have been preferred Gentoo procedure when I first set it up. Removable media might be ext3, ext4, or vfat, depending on compatibility needs and how long ago I formatted it. If I buy an SD card or USB stick that turns out to be preformatted in exFAT, I reformat it before use to ensure everything can read it.

They’re all solidly reliable filesystems (well, except for the vfat), but perhaps not the most featureful.

CrabAndBroom ,

Yeah same here, everything is ext4 'cause it’s always worked and has never given me any troubles. But next time I have to reinstall I am tempted to give Btrfs a go.

ScottE , to linux in What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

ZFS for nearly everything plus ZFSBootMenu EFI on root data pools. Get a bad upgrade? No problem, boot a previous snapshot (auto created with a pacman hook), which I had to do recently when 6.6.39 LTS kernel had a bug. Snapshots are also great when doing things such as upgrading postgres, hass, Plex, etc.

I’ve been using ZFS now for a few years for all my data drives/pools but I haven’t gotten brave enough to boot from it yet. Snapshotting a system drive would be really handy.
