Yes, distros make different choices about the systems they want to use. That’s the way distro work. If you don’t like it, choose a different flavor of ubuntu or a different distro altogether. Nobody’s being forced to do anything they don’t want here. What’s the alternative? Everybody just does everything exact the way some armchair developers or Arch cultists have decided is the best way for them? No thanks.
I wish I could stay asleep for 8 consecutive hours, or even go back to sleep after waking up at hour 6 without feeling like shit the rest of the day. Some of my most restorative sleeping has been 4 hours or a 30 minute nap. Sleeping more than 30 minutes and less than 4? Straight to sleepy jail. More than 4 hours, but a little less than six? Sleepy jail. More than 8 hours? Probably dead, definitely at least sleepy jail where nothing productive happens.
That’s not what the articles says or implies at all. The article only refers to another article with a click bait headline. The article article summarizes Canonical stance like this:
And to be clear, including a tool or default workflow is MILES away from patronizingly forcing it on to users. It’s just the way that most distros that aren’t Linux From Scratch work.
The idea is to have the server safely shutdown BEFORE it loses power, so that BIOS setting wouldn’t mean anything. The server does not loose power while it it running, so it will never “restore last state after AC loss”. The idea is that you can run a low power device (the raspberry pi) for which you don’t care if power is cut abruptly and that can talk to both the UPS and the wake-on-lan of the server directly over ethernet. It being local means those WOL are much more likely to work than trying to send them from outside your network when you’re remote. It’s a lot simpler to set this up once than it is to recover a server with a corrupted file system due to power loss or lose access to your server for weeks because a thunderstorm knocked out power for 30min at the beginning of a long trip. That pi can also take care of other always on services like a pi-hole, home assistant, etc.
It’s my understanding that he didn’t put himself at risk for the adrenaline, he did it because he valued the safety of the animals he cared for above his own. I seem to remember him explaining his reasoning on his show. There are lots of devices and drugs that can be used for protected contact so that animal handlers are never put at serious risk, but all of them can and do sometimes go horribly wrong for the animals in addition to being very traumatic in ways that it can be difficult for humans to conceive. He didn’t do it without thought either, it being clear that the techniques he used required an intimate knowledge of those animals and their behaviors. He didn’t die wrestling a croc or handling a venomous snake. He died from being to close to an animal he likely had much less familiarity with.
Tastes like a beaver’s ass.
Paolo Bacigalupi is to the climate crisis what William Gibson is to cyberpunk. Stories like The Water Knife and The Tamarisk Hunter feeling a lot closer to reality everyday. But then again, fighting over access to water is a tale as old as time.
That’s the part that confused me. Doesn’t seem particularly useful or wise to equip a helicopter with a nuke. Seems kind of suicidal actually.
According to the article it was royalty free and published open standards, but they do not make any claim to this being an FOSS system.
If I thought it was an intentional joke, it wouldn’t have been ironic.
I feel like I might be able to reason with a spider (however remote that possibility might be). At least predators have at least a little ability to reason. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll decide that I’m more trouble than I’m worth. Spiders also seem unlikely to team up. You’re maybe dealing with a couple competing to win Spider-Man’s favor, but I’d not expect them to cooperate.
On the other hand, dealing with ants would be like fighting a fast unreasoning zombie horde, a literal flood of nashing venomous mandibles and with a singular, laser focused, drive to do violence. All they know is violence to achieve their queen’s (Antman’s) goal at any cost to any particular individual. That is MUCH scarier to me.
People are getting much more dumber, though, so if you starts using it more people might will does it too.
The irony of the sentiment of this comment against the flickering light of the dumpster fire that is its grammar is not lost on me.
Where? Everything everywhere seems to be a mix of clear channel, church broadcasts, or the rare public radio station that isn’t classical music 24/7.
Lol, this was a thing that every grocery store in my area would do every couple of years. I remember my mom making this same complaint with some regularity as we grew up. Sometimes they’d circle back around and hit a configuration from days long past.
They seemed to have calmed down on the bi-decade reorganization that moved entire isles lately. But there are still about 3-4 different places (spread across the store) that I’d need to check if I was looking for a pickle or some cheese. This ruined their delivery services because practically every item I’d order during COVID would be an unacceptable substitute because the “pros” doing the shopping were clearly children that had never done grocery shopping for themselves before.
Some company has recently been stocked the impulse buy areas around me with something they brand as retro sours. They are packaged to look just like Altoids Sours and I assume they are also trying to mimic the flavors. I wish I could tell you they taste the same, but they never seem to have the one flavor I’m interested in (tangerine) so I haven’t tried them.
I really want to know why this matters in the slightest for this particular movie. Why are you so invested? Is your nearsighted toddler going to have a public meltdown because they can’t see the movie in 3D like the other kids?
When I need to soak some things outside of the washing machine, I just use a mop bucket. Lately that soaking has been whites in oxyclean to get them looking more white again. Oxyclean (or any similar non-brand name oxygen based agent) is great for organic stains (blood, sweat, oils, grease, food) and smells, but bad for wool. DO NOT USE OXYCLEAN ON WOOL. For my wool stuff I just use regular detergent in cold water and hang dry. If you’re trying to get smells out of wool you might try drying them in the sun. Wool also doesn’t do great in hot water, but that’s okay. Just trade heat for time, i.e. letting something soak in cold water instead of a short wash in hot water. Same principal used to make cold brew coffee.
If there is a filter to be cleaned on a public machine, you can probably check it before running your own through. At the very least give the machine a sniff first. Sometimes a quick rinse cycle with an empty machine is all that’s needed to clear out the lingering funk from the last load. If not, the machine needs maintenance.
Laundry advice is weird in that it can be very broadly applied and general (the actual chemistry and fabrics are pretty similar everywhere), but also hyper local. What works in one region might not it another because the water is different, chemicals have different and confusing names, etc. The best advice is really to read the clothing tags (and learn to interpret those laundry hyroglyphs), read/research the detergent ingredients and instructions, group like items together, and test new tips and tricks on less critical pieces of wardrobe before doing an entire load.
I don’t think that’s going to go the way you think it will. Exhibit A: Freeing the Genie
Around 20-30 years ago, people took a little more care in composing a photo, even the amateurs. Hard drive space was still kind of pricey. Smart phones weren’t ubiquitous yet. It took some level of real investment to create the kind of photos you miss. Lego landscapes are hard. They’re tiny and big at the same time. Focus, depth of field, and lack of a background all work against you in ways a little diorama doesn’t. Combine that with more people that haven’t actually studied the craft of photography, taking more photos than ever and you get flooded with snapshots. Those lazy snapshots still happened 20-30 years ago to be sure, but nobody’s remembering them because they were forgettable then and forgotten now, kind of a survivorship bias. The same reason people argue that the music they listened to in grade school always was and forever will be the best music.
