A word of warning: Garuda is kinda cool and allows you to try lots of stuff you would normally have to set up yourself. It is great if you want to experience what Arch is like. That said, it has not exactly been a stable experience for me. You are probably better off just running EndeavourOS or plain Arch (via archinstall) in the long run.

Duh, they're hackers /s

I don't know man, as the president of a state, I think I would be quite offended by even just the notion of interfering with judical matters, but maybe that's just me

STT- or SOT-RAM are more promising in principle, but just like MRAM they have not taken off due to practical difficulties

Edit: I just realized that these are MRAM types, I confused MRAM with FeRAM

Jep, except according to their own recruitment claims (which are naturally also off), they either have casualties in the 10s per month, or much more troops in Ukraine than anyone can cofirm.

Yeah, sure, and the remote hackers access my system how exactly to run 7-Zip? Do they use the well know ZIP-socket Linux exposes, designed to unzip stuff for random people in case of archival emergencies?

Wait, are there any convicts left? The have casualties in the tens of thounds per month, I would have guessed they were the prefered ones...

A couple of takes regarding this from a programmer (who, naturally, is extremely neurotic about his skills):

  • There is no single skill that defines your value
  • You are probably not even aware of all the things you excell at, because these things seem the easiest to you
  • Social intelligence is extremely important. You can't do shit alone, and even if you can, you need to sell it to someone
  • You don't need to be the best to be extremely good at something. Being in the top 10% means there are countless people at least as good as you, yet 90% are worse
  • The hardest things require a good team, not a good person
  • A good team is more than the sum of its parts. Supporting some genius can make you 200% as productive as you would normally be, because they can direct your skills to the right places at the right time, or clear roadblocks that woud take you forever

Let's not protest terrible ideas to not embarrass facists (who may or may not be part of your/our government) or what's supposed to be the message here?

Imagine using AI to make NPCs more lifelike than ever, instead of wasting billions on slop

There's dutch candy that is basically this. Not too bad, although I liked them more as a child

Endlich mal fickend qualitative Nachrichten.

Zwei Katzen haben in Bremerhaven einen Einsatz der Polizei und Feuerwehr ausgelöst. Wie die Beamten mitteilten, alarmierten Anwohner eines Mehrfamilienhauses in der Nacht zu Mittwoch die Einsatzkräfte, weil laute Geräusche aus der Nachbarwohnung sie um den Schlaf brachten. Vor Ort öffnete den Angaben zufolge niemand die Tür, so dass die Feuerwehr sie aufbrechen musste. In der Wohnung fanden die Polizisten aber keine Menschen - sondern zwei Katzen, die es offenbar geschafft hatten, den Staubsauger einzuschalten. Die Beamten schalteten den Staubsauger aus und "ermahnten die beiden Vierbeiner mündlich, sich für den Rest der Nacht ruhig zu verhalten", so die Polizei weiter.

 
 

Hey, so I have brand new HDDs I intend to put in a btrfs software RAID. They're Seagate ST4000VX016-3CV104 4TB Skyhawks. Workload is basically write and forget, I will probably never delete a thing.

However I decided to test them first and noticed that after writing about 160 GB, some SMART counters have gone up significantly. Read error rate went from 6.632 to 90.238.872 for example (seemingly all correct by hardware ECC), seek error rate from 143 to 87.661.

Am I reading things correctly? This does not seem like the way healthy drives should behave, does it? It similar on all of them tho. Are they just trash-tier drives they somehow got to work with ECC?
