Nah /dev/zero is for wimps. You need /dev/urandom....

Copying all the data elsewhere and re-partition is still the right answer...

You could possibly get away with copying the data out of the last partition, deleting the last 3 and extending the other one then copying the data back but, as others have said, you seem to have rather too many partitions.

ETA: there is no way to merge ntfs and ext4 partitions anyway - even without the intervening partitions that are present here. Copy, destroy extend is the only way.

Works for me if I click the thumbnail from 'all'; fails if I go to the post.

Not just redgifs (iirc) either so probably a video thing rather than an NSFW related thing.

How did the flap and, indeed, starship have enough control authority after the burn up during re-entry, to complete the soft landing?

The booster done good as well of course...

Flipping awesome outcome... Beers all around.

drawings do not exploit anyone.

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Temperature is not scalar

Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ... Temperature is scalar, however it's effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.

The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn't be in the UK or whatever they're saying in this article... That's nonsense

Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.

Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn't a good indication of climate...

Scrolling bug (lemmy.world)

Guys

Voyager native app on Android.

Anyone else got an issue when scrolling through a thread the rendering flicks all over the place?

It's random and I can't think of a way to screenshot it. It's like the replies get drawn in one position then jump to where they should be. Sometimes, if I catch it right, sliding up and down with my finger flashes the post/comment on and off...

Like I say, hard to describe properly.

Hermes... Oh wait, they rebranded as Evri because of bad reputation.

It's somewhat beside the point that the recipient has no contract with Evri to deliver, that's all on the sender; what should happen is the recipient just ignores the redelivery charge notice and tells the sender that it hasn't been delivered... Let the two parties to the contract sort it out.

EDIT: Cut & Cover is no longer on the table. I am pretty certain it was back along.

Original response :-

I think (as an ex local) that a tunnel isn't a bad idea per se. However the intention is to use cut and cover to construct it, which will be massively destructive - both to landscape and archaeology.

Perhaps a case could be made for reuse of the HS2 TBMs currently entombed near Euston station?

The A303 has always been a terrible road and there has never been anyone willing to commit to more than sticking plaster solutions at pinch points.

Feature request? (lemmy.world)

Guys

Dunno if I am missing something, but I notice that many times a post is cross posted to many communities, resulting in the All feed being full (well not really full but you know what I mean) of what are, effectively, reposts...

Does voyager have a "hide posts with the same title in different communities" setting somewhere or is that a feature request?

Guys

We have an XYZ DaVinci 1.0 Pro, connected by USB to a Windows 10 PC (latest updates etc.)

The drivers are all correctly installed (both cameras show up in device manager, the printer shows up in device manager as both a printer and a USB-COM3 device).

The printer has Firmware 1.2.3 installed (as recommended by XYZ.... not sure if that's a good thing)

  • XYZ Printing does not detect the printer as online;
  • Cura does not detect the printer as online;
  • Pronterface does not detect the printer as online;
  • In a massive turn-up for the books.... Microsoft 3d Builder does see the printer on line and will start a print.

In device manager the com port seems to be set at 9600,8,n,1. Changing this to (say) 115200 breaks printing in 3d Builder. Changing Pronterface to use 9600 baud makes no difference to connecting to the printer.

I have changed the USB lead, tried different ports on the PC yadda yadda yadda but no change at all - only Microsoft 3d Builder will see the printer online and print.

Anyone got any idea at all why everything except Microsoft 3d Builder can't see the printer?

Not really a fitting end, he escapes any long term consequences of his actions. Unlike families of his victims.

Society needed him to have his day in court and for him to be put away for the rest of his life, acting as a soap dish for whoever... Dead he gets away nearly free of consequences.

That's a pellet from an air pistol/rifle. It's probably lead.
