When I hear what they did, I was blown away. A 50 year old computer (that was probably designed a decade before launching) and the geniuses that built that put in the facility to completely reprogram it a light-day away.
My uncle has a story: dog was getting old and sick, his wife asked him to have it put down. Now Bruce was an old farmer, had put down plenty of animals for food and disease. So he’s going to shoot the dog. Wife won’t have that, dog is a member of the family.
So a few days later, vet is at the farm to do a C-section on a cow that won’t calve. Wife says “well, get him to put down the dog while he’s here”. Bruce tells her he’ll ask the vet. Vet says sure, but he doesn’t have anything with him to do it with, asks Bruce for his rifle and shoots the dog.
Wife hears the shot and thinks Bruce did it and lied about asking the vet, so he doesn’t hear the end of it for a week.
As everyone knows, every student is only allowed to have relationships with people in the school they attend. If for some reason, they have an illicit relationship with someone outside of the educational institute, said partner or friend is required, BY LAW, to not attend, acknowledge, offer support, or even be within 100 yards of the student that is protesting at their educational institute, in case there arises a need to round up, beat and arrest the offending individual.
Certainly, NYPD should not have expected unaffiliated people to be in that crowd, and the simple existence of such people will certainly confuse and annoy NYC officials to whom these obvious facts would be known.
Thank god we have such intelligent and trustworthy individuals making decisions that affect democracy and the rule of law in this land. God save America.
I agree. I love the ability to rent something away from the tourist areas that isn’t a hallway full of slamming doors and cleaning staff. But it’s hell on the housing market.
Maybe a limited amount of permits with a regulated price/quality, and the demand will quickly limit the bookings. I’d rather wait a year or two for my preferred accomodation than stay in the usual suspects.
Tourism is a double edged sword. It’s nice to get free money from outside, but once the corpos get involved, the local economic benefit fades quickly.
Since KDE changed to dbl-click by default, the only thing I change is Numlock on boot. 10 seconds to fix, and I know it’ll stay changed because KDE is allergic to removing user settings.
Look, we knew Fedora wasn’t going to drop Gnome. Gnome is almost entirely a Redhat project, it’s there for the paying corporate market so it doesn’t confuse the drones by offering “choices”, and Fedora is the proving ground of any changes that might affect said drones. I can’t even argue with the logic.
Lots of Plasma-Fedora distros out there, like the spin and Nobara/bazzite that frankly are better starting places for most power users anyway, since you don’t have to get around the repo/codec issues yourself.
Yah, that’s what I meant by “the spin”. Can’t say I’ve used it recently, and I imagine it has the same lack of non-free repos as the parent, so the others are less trouble and work fine. Heck, Nobara’s had V6 included for a few weeks now.
Hmm, I’ve never heard of this before. It seems pretty mature and robust. It even passes Kerberos tickets across SSH for authenticating file access for an sshfs mount or remote login. Seems like a better way to centralize authentication than NFS at first glance.
Since they say they’re putting them out from 48V to 800V, 48V is what most inverter systems use, so I imagine they’re targetting that size for “consumers” at the single-house PV system size. If the cycle counts and low temperature charging characteristics come true, they will be popular.
American manufacturers like this like to shoot themselves in the foot by pricing their new and innovative battery technology at the datacenter customer size, find out they have no market, use up all their capital, then sell the tech to a big Chinese company like BYD or CATL. So once they’ve complete this lifecycle, I’d expect a couple more years before they’re readily available to actual consumers. Probably expect to see them then at about LFP prices, like $90/kWh wholesale price.
This article is saying 93% but I thought I’d seen 97 somewhere. Might have been marketing bullshit. Though this paper is 3 years old now, so there’s been time for improvement. What hits the market right now may not be up to that number either, so I wouldn’t disbelieve 65% either.
I saw an appreciation post for Gluetun on here in the last couple of weeks. I’d set it up before my server died and I had to reinstall everything, but then gone for the easy method when I was reinstalling....
So, here’s a thought. Instead of removing customization, people just, you know, not customize things. It’s like going into the Settings page, except instead of doing that, you don’t do that.
I would posit to you that it is, in fact, the perfect amount of complicated. If I want to change something, I don’t have to program and/or install an extension that will get blown up on the next release of the desktop environment because of the lack of fucks that Gnome gives for people that build extensions for it.
I will concede that it would nice to have dconf. But considering the amount of stuff that can be configured in stock Plasma, that might take a lot more than the 3 settings that Gnome allows you to change.
Here’s my complete KDE post-install configuration procedure: go into Settings, search for “Numlock” and change it to “on at boot”. It used to include changing Single Click - selects files, but that’s the default now, as natural law would demand.

1995-2010 were the halcyon days. I miss the shit out of the web back then. And I’ve been around long enough that I set up some of the first mail relays and usenet mirrors when I was a teen, besides having one of the largest BBSs in Canada.
