Everybody gangsta until “A stop job is running for …”

Especially since memory training on DDR5 can take upwards of a minute.

Just FYI: most bioses have a setting to save the memory training, so it doesn’t have to be re-done each boot. On an Asus board it’s called “Memory Context Restore”.

Cronjob? I’m not a systemd evangelist or anyting, but certbot literally has a timer included in the package that you just have to enable to make it run twice a day: systemctl enable certbot.timer

The laws can absolutely be written such that companies are required to suspend service to any suspected child without requiring ID to use the service.

The laws shouldn’t focus on “harming children” so much, but on “harming humans”.

The big tech companies should be held responsible for the actual damage they are inflicting upon society, and their methods to artificially inflate “engagement” (or whatever the hell they call it) should be held to scrutiny. Whether or not the damage is inflicted upon an underage person or an adult, is merely a distraction.

Those assholes would love it if we all had to identify ourselves and prove our age, if it means they get to keep inflicting their shit upon us.

Not when the output is a pipe.

There is a much more obvious country that has a vested interest in dividing western democracies, and weakening organizations that unite them, such as NATO and the EU, a country that’s currently in a proxy and hybrid war with Europe, and a country that has long understood the importance of information warfare: Russia.

Of course with the Trump administration, you never know, but then you could also ask yourself: if Trump was a Russian agent, how different would his actions be? Not very different I think.

Would be nice to see the gaming industry pivot back to making innovative games within the constraints of hardware, instead of just expecting customers to throw ever more powerful (and power consuming) hardware at it.

Why would I throw it away, when I can give it to someone who needs it more, or sell it?

Because selling is always a hassle, dealing with choosing beggars and scammers, and it may not be worth much anymore for general use.

For example, my old PC is a i7 4770k… it can’t run Windows 11 or play remotely recent games. I don’t know anyone who could use this thing, so to save a few watts I took out the GPU, put it in eco mode and have been using it as my Linux server.

My NUC uses 6-7W idle.

I have played around with some mini PC’s (minisforum and beelink brand), they’re neat but they turned out to be not very reliable, two have already died prematurely, and unfortunately they are not end-user serviceable. Lack of storage expansion options is an issue as well, if you don’t just want to stack a bunch of external USB drives on top of each other.

It’s possible those are still using Xwayland

You can use xlsclients to check.

wmctrl and xdotool don’t do anything for me with native Wayland windows. It only seems to work for applications that use Xwayland.

So while I can use it to resize and position xterm or urxvt windows, it does not work with foot or kitty or firefox windows.

No. Those are X11 only.

I had a bunch of wmctrl window placement scripts that I had to rewrite in kwin’s (awful) scripting language when I switched to wayland.

It’s also why Belgium is relatively low compared to the Netherlands.

I’m sure that in Flanders the English proficiency is on par with the Netherlands, and certainly better than in Germany, but the French speaking parts pull the average down.

I think part of the reason is that francophone regions overdub all media in French, so when growing up, children never consume media in any other language than French, except maybe some music. You could literally watch French TV for an entire day and not hear a single word in another language than French.

It’s even more confusing because in my native language (Dutch), we have those words too ( gnoe and gnoom ), and we do pronounce the g.

Of course, no Dutch speaker would ever miss the opportunity to pronounce a g :)

Meanwhile, me, a non-native English speaker:
