Apparently yes

It’s a small step to correlate locations and thoughts with minimal processing.

You’re at home when your network starts connecting to 4chan? - You’re a deviant.

You frequent a bar that is a known gay meet up? - You’re a deviant

You visited a location where a(n opposing) political rally was held? - You’re a deviant and now you’re also on the watch list.

Today, my nixos took 50gb of drive space to update itself. I allocated 60gb for my root partition and nixos itself takes 20 already. Nixos is hot garbage in that regard. Nixos is stable but bloaty, arch is sleek but wonky.

An equivalent arch install took only 8gb.

I think I read something about there being timeouts for slow jobs, which backups definitely are. Really unsure though, it has been a while. Try spawning independent worker programs!

Windows user folders are nearly unusable in my opinion, too many programs throw in random folders and files everywhere. Especially the Documents folder, too many games putting incoherent stuff in there

It’s known as the ‘Brazil nut effect’, technically apparently Granular Convection: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_convectionIt’s apparently not fully explained, but theories suggest things like buoyancy, or that larger particles are blocked from sinking by smaller particles, which on the other hand can slip below the larger ones.

I'm socially awkward, how do I greet coworkers?

When I go to work I find it difficult to greet my coworkers when they’re talking, and my coworkers talk a lot. I don’t want to disturb them, so I don’t say anything and let them speak. After that I don’t find it necessary to greet them, because we’ve already seen each other. I don’t do it to troll them or because I...

I just walk in and say ‘Good Morning’ in passing, no need for an answer or waiting for them to stop talking. Then I go settle in for the work and if they want to chat they will probably talk to you then. If you were there first I guess you can take the initiative.

There’s some relation in that they both act on fields, but the things that affect those fields are very different (higgs bosons and electrons respectively) and the relationship between all that for an ‘unified theory’ is a topic of much research. IANAP though (not a physicist)

Questions about blade server SSDs [ANSWERED] (kbin.run)

I recently bought a used blade server on the cheap (thank you LabGopher) to upgrade my home set-up and got one in pretty good shape. This is my first foray into blade servers and as I'm in the process of setting it up I'm running into some questions where I'm in a bit over my head trying to figure out....

Does it have a hardware RAID card? You may have to flash it to IT mode. The ‘lost’ drive may be just a parity drive?

Weird error copying MKV file

I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading ‘video1.mkv’: Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at...

Did you try copying it with dd/ddrescue?

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?

Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now

First time hearing o7 as ‘nazi salute’, I only know it as a ‘military/captain’s salute’ out of Eve Online, Elite and some milsim games

just this month I had multiple wayland issues forcing me to switch to an x11 session

While maybe sometimes buggy, at least things run. I’m all for modernization, but if there are compatibility problems with recent software, I’m not OK with it being declared “the better, mature standard thing everybody should now use”.

As an European student, my freezer is also filled with pizza rolls and other junk food. But that’s only because my fridge is filled with fresh produce and my cupboards have lots of dry ingredients. Cooking simple dishes from common ingredients is easy and quick once you got a couple of go-tos and the freezer is only for “guilty pleasure” snacks. That cart looks like my snack run. Many ads show “quick and easy” meals here too, but luckily I learned (in school) how to cook on my own, quickly and easily despite my schedule
