You got to say he was a master bullshitter, but he had some miracle workers engineers that made it happen.

Wesley

As in “Dammit Wesley, what did you fuck up this time”

SapphironZA ,

I found a lot of the same. For me I resolved this by changing a few things.

  1. Abandon KDE plasma and Gnome.
  2. Avoid Snaps like the plague.

Linux mint Cinnamon draws 5w on idle only laptop. Ubuntu stock draws 8w. Manjaro plasma uses around 7w.

SapphironZA ,

I suspect that packaging has a lot to do with it. I also value power draw as a better metric for determining efficiency compared to RAM usage.

SapphironZA ,

I think power draw is a better measurement for efficiency.

Making it more practical. Most people have more RAM than they need, but everyone is limited by battery capacity on laptops.

“Canada” - love it!

Ship designations are more based in function, than displacement. Frigates were traditionally designed to operate independently from fleets, where destroyers are generally escorts for fleet vessels, like transports, cruisers and carriers.

Cruisers were traditionally designed with specific missions in mind, air defence cruisers(Ticonderoga), anti-ship cruisers (Slava), etc

But cruisers are going out of fashion, with navy’s opting for more capable Frigates and Destroyers over time, which is why the displacement has been growing.

The short answer is always: “it depends” :)

Train manufacturer intentionally bricks trains serviced by independent service providers (zaufanatrzeciastrona.pl)

Polish train manufacturer that lost servicing tender programmed train controller to brick itself after train stays for some time in 6 ISP facilities or in 1 their faculity(for testing?) until undocumented button combination is pressed. Some controller versions brick itself after train is idle for 10 days. After news about this...

SapphironZA ,

Can we get this formally defined in law as willful destruction of property. No exceptions.

SapphironZA ,

If that were true, there would be no reason for Iran not to have nuclear weapons right.

It’s people who kill after all. The weapons have nothing to do with it.

SapphironZA ,

I think the issue is large organizations are inefficient and inflexible, be they government or corporates.

You want small lean groups with a lot of autonomy.

SapphironZA ,

Yep, the US government used to break up monopolies and it greatly benefitted the boomers.

SapphironZA ,

Will they also block apps that help you boycott russian or chinese companies?

SapphironZA ,

True true. Almost everything is made in china in some way or form.

SapphironZA ,

It’s so weird to me that so much of the supply chain can get contaminated.

Could it be that the cantaloupe is cut and processed in a few factories and then shipped to stores across the US?

Here in South Africa, all fresh produce that gets processed, gets done so at the retail location. Fruit and vegetables are transported whole. When we get outbreaks, or cases of food poisoning, they are usually limited to one store only.

SapphironZA ,

You can skip the disk convert step and mount the vmdk files directly. Then after bootup you can use the move disk feature to live convert the disk type.

SapphironZA ,

I tend to draw the line around the 500 VMs mark and whether you use hyper-converged hardware. Above 500 VMs you are likely to be using dedicated storage, where XCP-ng will scale more easily.

Proxmox makes hyper-converged management simpler than XCP-ng and can handle more complex networking setups out of the box.

But there is a pretty large overlap between their capabilities.

Can active shooter training consist of giving the shooter directions on where the CEO and board is currently located?

It’s worse, it’s not the farmers that get the support. It is the corporates that own the farms that get the support. They are the ones driving unsustainable practices.

SapphironZA ,

To explain this to non South Africans.

The ruling ANC party is in the pocket of the russians.

The majority of South Africans think they are just following the policies of their masters.

SapphironZA ,

The ANC is also anti Ukraine independence.

And they sell arms to the russians.

Not saying there are not good reasons to disfavour Israel, but cutting diplomatic ties is stupid. It’s basically telling Israel to do their own thing, because we are going to stop talking to them.

SapphironZA ,

The ANC simply has sold out to new masters. They are all very black ownership and empowerment when it comes to giving tenders to companies, but the moment the russians or the Chinese are involved and the bribes get paid, all those principles are out the window.

SapphironZA ,

I agree with you, so let me clarify

In my experience South African people feel very much the way you are describing and rightly so.

But when it comes to the ANC, they only do things that are to their personal benefit, there is no humanity there. If they do the right thing, it’s purely an accident.

They are a kakistocracy and a parasitic government. They add no value and they do not protect its citizens. At least since the early-mid 2000’s.

SapphironZA ,

Did not notice it today, but I am running ublock origin and they got my back.

SapphironZA ,

That is why I am in favour of the financial death penalty. Fines should be 10x the damage done. If a company cannot pay it, they are required to become a non profit.

SapphironZA ,

I like it, much more practical.

SapphironZA ,

The question is if SpaceX has more injuries compared to similar aerospace and construction businesses.

Construction is a dangerous job.

SapphironZA ,

They are referral to space industry. I was wondering how that compares to the construction industry. SpaceX does a lot more construction than most space industry companies.

I made the switch to waterfox (Firefox fork) that strips out much of the problematic mozilla stuff.

I started to switch because of the tab containers, as I work across a dozen or so accounts in our MSP business.

Now I realised how good Firefox can be if you get rid of the bloat.

SapphironZA ,

I was mainly referring to how sluggish it was. For my web apps, it was always slower and the UI would bog down. Maybe not the correct definition of you refer to unnecessary features.

I am more referring to how lean or streamline the software is. Both in front end design and backend.

A lot of browser performance has to do with how you use it, so my experience is not universal.

Still, even full fat Firefox is skinny compared to the morbidly obese Chrome and edge browsers.

SapphironZA ,

I would say it’s good, but could be great with small adjustments in the way it is packaged.

SapphironZA ,

These things go in cycles. But I think the writing is on the wall. Google will never make the investment to unbloat Chrome.

SapphironZA ,

Technically it is true. Counties are so gerrymandered to hell, there is no way the GOP got as many seats as it had.

SapphironZA ,

Tell me how Islam is slavery, without telling me Islam is slavery.

SapphironZA ,

Normal human time scale. The projectiles have jump drives. When a object jumps it retains its momentum.

So basically they have these projectiles traveling at 30% of light, with the ability to jump into position to strike a target.

Likely an unpopular opinion, but if Hamas releases the hostages and surrenders it’s leadership, it is more likely to result in cessation of military action for some time, than if Israel stops bombing.

The current calls to stop bombing is akin to telling the US to stop bombing cities in Germany during world war two.

Israel is looking to exploit and oppress, but don’t forget that Hamas will not stop until all Jews and non Muslims are exterminated.

SapphironZA ,

Exactly. We could make those charges go away, if you do me a favour.

SapphironZA ,

But they certainly get fucked there.

SapphironZA ,

Agree on this. Servethehome on YouTube has a series on different 1 litre PCs they review in detail.

SapphironZA ,

But is it a 24 house service if it’s only staffed by a chat bot?

SapphironZA ,

Grayjay is also great.

SapphironZA ,

They explained that they fear malware infected clones would damage their reputation at this early stage and draw unwanted attention while they build a user base.

Not sure I agree, but they at least explain the thinking behind it.

SapphironZA ,

I am happy with it, provided they also test and prosecute partners for using Viagra.

Equality bitches

SapphironZA ,

I get that, but in functionally they are so similar from an end user perspective, I would argue their development efforts should be combined.

SapphironZA ,

The fact that the processes are so different, is part of the problem. Developers need to spend the same effort 3 or 4 times.
