Maggoty , to nostupidquestions in How does renouncing citizenship work?

If you just tell Country B that you do so, like in an oath or something? No, no effects on the old country and they may even still want taxes from you.

If you contact Country A’s government (usually the state department or foreign ministry) and go through whatever process they have and pay a fee then yes. You will no longer have the responsibilities (taxes, military service, etc) or the rights, (voting, travel, education, etc) in regards to the old country.

Should you actually go through that process? Consult a lawyer in your new country to see if it’s necessary. Sometimes it’s better to keep the old passport, like if you’re a western expat. Sometimes you’re trying to get out from under international tax obligations or required military service. Regardless, the new country generally doesn’t care what the old country thinks as long as you follow the laws of your new country. Sometimes it’s a verbal promise to renounce loyalty and sometimes they want that receipt from the old country saying it’s done.

So now I’m thinking it might be the SSD, but I’m not even sure how to check that.

There’s definitely some utilities for that. SMART or something? They’ll at least show you rough drive health/wear.

Edit: nevermind, another responder recommended that already.

How long did you run the memtest for? Ideally it should run a couple of times, since just a single pass might not detect any errors.

But it’s weird that it happens when you try to update. Could it maybe be related to your network hardware, either LAN or WiFi? If you’re using WiFi, try LAN, or vice versa. Perhaps even a USB dongle, and disable the onboard network hardware completely.

You could consider something like LazyVim installed on top of Nvim so you don’t have to configure it from scratch.

I went looking for the implied ‘A’ language but couldn’t find it. Did find this though:
…m.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_programming_languages

Surprising how many single letter names there are.

Ordinary Sausage - A channel for people who wonder "could you turn X into a sausage, and if so how good would it taste?" Water? Air? Big Macs? Pickles? That and more, my friend. Pure culinary chaos, and weirdly wholesome to boot.

Joel Haver - The origin of the "semi-automated rotoscoping" animation style, a rather clever use of some existing filters, but also a genuinely funny creator, and prolific to boot.

yuf , to programmerhumor in Anyone here use assembly?

For a university assignment, I built a compiler for x86; I cheated a bit by relying on LLVM, but it gave me a better understanding of the architecture. I also developed emulators for the NES (Ricoh 2A03) and RISC-V (RV32I) as a hobby. For the latter, I implemented it in FPGA.

adarza , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

you opt out of all, they send crap a year later–presumably without conducting other business with them in the meantime, correct? hell yea, that’s spam.

Godort , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

Not at all.

Unsolicited email is spam. It’s as simple as that. Dont feel bad about flagging them as such if they won’t respect your contact preferences.

Is it mail you want? No? Then it’s spam

lemmytellyousomething , (edited ) to technology in Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)

Short reminder that Bitcoin was created as a reaction on the world finance crisis and to allow people like Assange to receive donations, because PayPal and similar just blocked them…

That does not mean that Botcoin is perfect, but: If the alternative system was perfect, there was not bitcoin.

Now, do we need an emoji? I don’t care TBH…

colournoun , to technology in US Email Providers - Other then Google, MS, Apple, ...

I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.

It doesn’t interoperate well with FOSS software like K9 and Thunderbird.

SuperSpruce , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

Funny enough, my college pushed me to a Linux dual boot.

One of my classes required an Ubuntu environment for C++ programming, and after trying and failing to get WSL working, I decided to just dual boot (from 2 separate SSDs) instead of trying to work around the limitations of a VM.

On the other hand, 2 of my other classes required a Windows-only program.

I used to default to Windows, but after the BS from Microsoft this year I switched to defaulting to Ubuntu.
