To be fair, All Your Base Are Belong To Us is still a banger that I may want to hear on my death bed.

Edit: what this does to me is that there is now programming language called "zig", so you now can move zig.

This was truly a wtf moment of the month.

Last time I spent time watching him was when he freaking fixed the kexec syscall for IBM PowerPCs. for free

permanently attached USB SSDs are supposed to be mounted

Just mount them somewhere under / device, so if a disk/mount fails the mounts depended on the path can´t also fail.

I keep my permanent mounts at /media/ and I have a udev rule, that all auto mounted media goes there, so /mnt stays empty. A funny case is that my projects BTRFS sub-volume also is mounted this way, although it is technically on the same device.

For example, the new .config directory in the home directory.

I hope slowly but surely no program will ever dump its config(s) as ~/.xyz.conf (or even worse in a program specific ~/.thisapp/; The ~/.config/ scheme works as long as the programs don't repeat the bad way of dumping files as ~/.config/thisconfig.txt. (I'm looking at you kde folks..) A unique dir in .config directory should be mandatory.

If I ever need to shed some cruft accumulated over the years in ~/.config/ this would make it a lot easier.

I have begun to see that YT is being hostile to adblocker users - and this worries me. I assume YT is already probing the clients to see which are circumveting the ads.

I had an (let's say unconventional) idea at one point: an add-on which only purpose is to show the YT ads in the background which uBO blocked. All of the blocked ads would be played (eventually) - except that the user can just ignore this happening in background and wouldn't be actually seeing the ads. I.e. the browser would just move playing the ads into a background container not visible to the user.

What I'm doing wrong? I have the top two and 1/2, and I'm missing most of the bottom half? (I'm basically standing on a glass strand, which is constantly on verge of collapsing)

The NT kernel in isolation is apparently quite "ok", from what i have heard of it. It's the spyware, malware, driver crap ("windows") running on/using it which is unquestionably totally fucked and disgusting. If they were to FOSS the NT kernel, I could maybe support an such endeavor.

Yes, It's horrible, and can lead to minimizing any responsibilities you have. Even if you consciously want to accept a new responsibility/task, and have pre-planned how to do it well; Yet, you'll struggle to keep the promise to yourself. Self-blame will only make it worse.

Near the deadline the brain has (at best) already done all the work subconsciously, and you only to manifest the thing into reality. Don't doubt this, trashing the subconscious work is the worst thing you can do to yourself in a such situation.

(I'm not 100% sure I'm talking about the same subject, but anyway.)

You can't exceed lightspeed. Current tech is already at 99%

Even the newest "64-bit" cpus are really just 48-bit (or 36-bit on low end) or if bleeding edge 56-bit physical adressing processors. This is the maximum amount of virtual memory a process can have access to. You could memory map all your hard disks an still have room to map more physical memory to VMA.

I once said that the current "AI" is just a excel spread sheet with a few billion rows, from what all of the answer gets interpolated from...

But it's the spaghetti cabling that makes it work and highly robust.
