Not sure about the colonial mindset or the caste practices of centuries but Indian culture is extremely hierarchial in almost all facets of life. Elders, seniors, higher officials, etc all expect to be respected even if it is just one year difference, etc.

One of the ways to show respect it to not use names and call as sir,madam, teacher, officer or at best elder brothers/sisters for college seniors. All this works well in the regional languages of India but sounds weird in English.

Directly calling names of elders is still seen as bad and if needed would use their name appended with sir madam uncle aunt etc.

This is less practiced in IT field in my experience. After years of schooling and college calling my teachers sir and maam it was hard to shake off the habit. A few of my managers had to remind me a bunch of times to call them by their name and not as sir / maam in the beginning. Even then I avoidedcallintg out their names and just started speaking to get their attention. Now I almost call everyone by name by default in office setting. It is still fun when freshers join and are asked to use names of 15+ year elders and them wondering if we are joking.

They do ? I assumed they get better deals as they buy shit in bulk.

nestEggParrot ,

I guess killing off millions does save the planet some pollution. But thats not a very ideal way of pollution control, is it?

nestEggParrot ,

No it was the communist in china

nestEggParrot ,

Keto vegan?

nestEggParrot ,

Arch always can never not include violence.

nestEggParrot ,

It came preinstalled.

Do you mean deleted the torrent entry from client or the data files?

If just the entry you can add the torrent and set it to discover the existing data directory. Steps might vary by client.

If you meant seed deleted data, AFAIK its not possible to seed data that you dont have. No idea why you expect that to be possible.

nestEggParrot ,

Do you mean muted music videos or is there something else entirely ?

nestEggParrot ,

I did. It was quite funny listening to just the lyrics. Would have been nice if they managed to keep the original vocals but that whispering voice made it funnier.

nestEggParrot ,

Isnt that their current offering? But also yes as the article speaks of digitizing.

nestEggParrot ,

It clearly states what he did and on what he was prosecuted. How is it one sided? It doesn’t quote people from either side but rather states facts presumably from court filings.

If you want arguments on how this is bad or why such things shouldn’t be prosecuted, look for an opinion piece. Thats not the job for every news reporting.

nestEggParrot ,

What extension do you use ?

nestEggParrot ,

I could never work with no script. Suprised that helps with paywalls though.

nestEggParrot ,

If that works for you good.

nestEggParrot ,

One is enforced countrywide under a vague law open for interpretation.

Other is for school children on school premises, clearly stating the articles of clothing not allowed.

nestEggParrot ,

Why is it not religious and only cultural? It is more commonly worn by conservative muslims who adhere to strict interpretations of the sacred texts they follow. Based on that it is infact religious. Although I doubt it is a religious symbol like the article mentions.

The wearer of it exists across the globe and not limited to any distinct culture or even region. Further prohibiting a cultural dress is even more weird than the case for religious wears.

nestEggParrot ,

Marking it as ‘question’ but then making definitive statements based on interactions with ‘others’ is asking a question now ?

To answer your unasked question, depends on how you seperate religion from culture. Its often difficult to do so in many places of the world where religion is widespread among the soceity.

The female clothing requirements are from strict interpretations in islam that is followed to varying degrees mostly based on how religious a person/family is. I’ve had teachers wear full covering on their way to and from school but remove them once inside. There were college classmates who wore head covering everywhere and others almost never in social circles. The behavior varies widely among any given culture.

nestEggParrot ,

You dont have send it in. Just taste your own on a video call. Safe and private.

nestEggParrot ,

It does in recent times. My laptop came pre installed with win 11 and office home 2021(i think).

All i had to do was click activate to link the key to my email account. It showed up as a notification on first login.

Even if not activated it still would open files with that warning.

nestEggParrot ,

Not trial. Home Single user license.

nestEggParrot ,

That shouldn’t be uknown as its ubuntu based. The previous ones Ive used was debian based. It was pretty much stock with some wallpaper and basic customization. Also in most cases never updated.

nestEggParrot ,

While I agree with your general point, how is it illegal? If I download the ISO from windows, install and keep using it without activation? They aren’t blocking me from using it and I haven’t circumvented any prevention they have in place. What’s illegal here?

nestEggParrot ,

What can you eat without killing the environment?

nestEggParrot ,

By what metric? Do you mean its far more polluting than the rest because sustainable means something different.

nestEggParrot ,

Plants are part of that environment and you have to kill them to eat? *unless you are picking off fallen ripe fruits like roadkill eaters.

Also cultivation of those plants you eat are done in large cleared areas and are destructive to the environment.

nestEggParrot ,
  1. I didn’t disagree with plants generally being less env friendly.
  2. Most CO2 emmision wrt to meat is misleading because they are part of the carbon cycle. Pumping out oil is not comparable here.
  3. A lot of fossil fuel is utilised in the cultivation, storage, transportation of various seasonal crops, often across the world. Same as for meat. Generalizing plant vs meat often hides those behind moral arguments.
  4. What false equivalency? Polluting is not the same as sustainable? Sustainable how? Animal husbandry has been practiced for millennias and in many places is the main food source where agriculture isn’t feasible.

Making a wide general statement and nitpicking in the arument is lazy and dishonest. Atleast read what I was responding to.

nestEggParrot ,

Your comment consisted of 2 points:

  1. Calling me lazy an dishonest for asking a clarification on an ambiguous term ‘sustainable’. I hadn’t made any claims to be called at.
  2. You again used sustainable to which i defined and responded how animal husbandry is infact sustainable.

So how have I not responded to your comment?

Its you pulling out accusations and imagining up arguments that was never made and making personal attacks rather than stick to making valid arguments and address the actual points being made.

Your argument about energy fails to distinguish between the typical carbon cycle of moving through plants animals and decomposition incontrast with the cabon introduced through fossil fuels. This was what I pointed out previously too.

And we cant just plop down plants that are human digestable in many places where we grow the feed for cattles. Correct me on that.

nestEggParrot ,

While i agree to the points it still stands that the majority of CO2 and methane(a more potent greenhouse gas) are part of the carbon cycle that has been relatively stable.

It is not comparable to the dumping of carbon from fossil fuels. This is something many collate together and make disingenuous arguments. Correct me where I am wrong in understanding this.

One additional point(though i have no exact statistics) per kg isnt comparable between plants and meat. Large portions of plant are not edible and used as fertilizers or cattle feed at best. Meat is also energy dense and hence required in far less quantities than carbohydrates.

Not to mention water isnt equally distributed. Doing intensive agriculture in drought prone areas are far worse than cattle raised in water rich regions.

I would be interestsed in finding a study that takes a wide array of factors and calculates the effects.

nestEggParrot ,

You should be putting them onto CDs. Lets you have cool covers to recognise them how old it is.

nestEggParrot ,

Not sure if limited to certain emulators, alt+l should do that for you

nestEggParrot ,

exa is a nice alternative to ls and tree commands. Just add an alias to them based on the views you want.

But like other comment points out avoid lots of customization if you work on various shared systems, esp SSHing in.

With my keyboard layout and other keybind customizations my system is pretty unusable to others except basic mouse on browser. Like wise i have trouble using others’ systems and need to setup any new installs to a precise way before able to work. Slightly regret going too much into customization in certain aspects.

nestEggParrot ,

Not following you.

nestEggParrot ,

Back when I started my dream was go have folders of DVDs of all things I would need. Luckily for me cheat fast HDDs became a thing. Still should burn atleast my favourite contents.

nestEggParrot ,

Not used to ctrl+i so thanks.

nestEggParrot OP ,

Have commented out the line in /etc/fstab


<span style="color:#323232;">❯ swapon -a
</span><span style="color:#323232;">❯ swapon -s
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Filename				Type		Size		Used		Priority
</span><span style="color:#323232;">/dev/zram0                              partition	16777212	0		1000
</span>

Though it says /dev/zram0 and not my old swap partition, I believe this is still seeing the old swap ?

nestEggParrot OP ,

I am a bit apprehensive about messing with the partition any more than I already have. A delay on a weekly boot isn’t so much of an issue but wanted to make sure this wasn’t something thats waiting to fail.

At least until I backup all my data I’ll try above over the weekend when I would have time to reinstall if I mess it up.

nestEggParrot OP ,

On reboot, the delay is still present. The line #/dev/mapper/cryptswap none swap defaults 0 0 is commented out in /etc/fstab.

But it does wait 90s for the partition like you have mentioned. What do I edit to fix this ? That UUID is not in the fstab file.

nestEggParrot OP ,

Tried checking for systemd-boot config file to look for resume=.

This is the most relevant config file I found and didn’t find resume on it. Am I looking at the right place ?


<span style="color:#323232;">❯ sudo cat /boot/efi/loader/entries/Pop_OS-current.conf 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">title Pop!_OS
</span><span style="color:#323232;">linux /EFI/Pop_OS-f5a850fb-0b54-49f7-b84c-09d05b7d910e/vmlinuz.efi
</span><span style="color:#323232;">initrd /EFI/Pop_OS-f5a850fb-0b54-49f7-b84c-09d05b7d910e/initrd.img
</span><span style="color:#323232;">options root=UUID=f5a850fb-0b54-49f7-b84c-09d05b7d910e ro quiet loglevel=0 systemd.show_status=false splash
</span>

And yes the disk repair was only one off. Didn’t get it subsequent boots.

nestEggParrot OP ,

Checked the UUID and it is the same on fstab although I am having trouble finding the config file for systemd-boot on my PopOS. Best match I found was /boot/efi/loader/entries/Pop_OS-current.conf and the UUID in there also matches from blkid.

nestEggParrot OP ,

I ain’t no peta.

nestEggParrot OP ,

Ran that command and rebooted. Still have the delay.

nestEggParrot OP ,

In that order?

nestEggParrot OP ,

This fixed it. Commented the crypttab entry and no more wait on boot. Thanks for your time and the clear instructions to follow. Much appreciated.

nestEggParrot ,

So all they do in south america and elsewhere are all democratic ?

nestEggParrot ,

I am in agreement with most if not all the above points. Didn’t agree with terming a distro the worst of anything based on a single metric.

~~ TPW~~ CPU TDP to use it as a rough efficiency metric. Probably not very accurate but roughly representative. HW meant hardware.

Maybe in many cases repurposing hardware makes sense but based on the source and cost of electricity, hw process generation it might not even be feasible to run compared to modern hw. Might be better to recycle them responsibly than keep those running.

In end I guess you realise there are many factors to consider to determine something good, bad.

nestEggParrot ,

Even assuming all other factors remain same sure it uses more power but by how much? Best case by how much do you expect the increase to be ? 5-10% of their daily electricity consumption ?

And when you consider the power source, hw efficiency and so on theres no way to assess what the environmental effect an OS has.

Also you are assuming behavior of the person remains the same when using a precompiled packages v. compiling their own. I’ve installed many sw just to try for a few minutes and remove just to try various options. If it takes hours to compile I’d be very picky on what I install.
