Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
Here’s my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

I literally haven’t had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I’m not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.

Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.

I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.

“climate change and other left wing topics”… I know that’s basically how it works in some countries, but it’s insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn’t support such statements.

I’m never giving it up out of principle, but I dunno about the RAM usage. Firefox was above 7GB last I looked. I have RAM to spare though, so I don’t really care.

Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).

Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.

Unless you’ve changed your vault encryption settings (which is not a bad idea!) it will likely decrypt rather quickly.
I changed mine to Argon2id with settings such that one iteration takes over one second (on a Ryzen 5800X3D, about the same on my phone), since I don’t unlock it very often.

Yes.
He doesn’t have 15 million subscribers that all hate him.

Money doesn’t solve everything. The probably have way more issues with stalkers and death threats than any of us do, for example. Even with hired security that can’t feel very good.

I’m all for open source services, but realistically, what potential issues are there with using GitHub?
Every contributor has a copy of the Git repo, so isn’t the worst case basically losing access to issues and similar data? And even that is very unlikely.

This again? It’s utter bullcrap I’m afraid.

20 feet is fine unless you want 4K 120 Hz and stuff like that. I’m which case 20 feet may also be fine with a passive cable, but a bit on the edge of where AOC starts to make sense.

As for 1080p and 4K30 I think 10 meters can work passively.

Edit: My in-head unit conversion was a bit off, 20 feet is probably a bit over what’s sensible for 4K120. But it’s probably fine for non-UHS HDMI.

No, because that “some point” will never happen. There is no last nine to round up, because if there were a last nine, they wouldn’t be infinitely many.

There are many different proofs of this online, more or less rigorous.

Biden did win, the tweet isn’t exactly recent.

What’s your source that he is a felon? Can’t find anything about that at all.

They’re more than good enough though. The like-to-dislike ratio it shows always lines up with what you’d expect the video to have.

You can, even in such distros. For example, you can run GNOME under Kubuntu.

I know this is /c/memes, but do you use any memorization techniques? Spaced repetition is a basic but extremely useful one.
Cramming is terrible for learning because you need to repeat things with longer and longer intervals to truly remember it long-term. Thankfully learning with this method can be LESS work even though it’s much more effective.

He was a big fan of freedom of speech of all kinds. That doesn’t in any way suggest he possessed child porn. Read the entire page and it becomes quite clear that he is literally just listing laws that make certain kinds of data illegal.

I strongly disagree that CSAM should be legal, but the point that honest people have their lives ruined by being accused of possessing it, or by having normal images of their children, is certainly true.
