Now I am become death
  • People, don't downvote! Look at the instance David's on. nl is Netherlands. That's us. We are nazi europe. The fascists are in government here in .nl, with a party that has only one member.

    That is forbidden in Germany btw. I always like asking Dutch fascists why they think that party structure is forbidden in Germany specifically. Watch them realize they have to link the way their party is organized to WW2.

  • FDroid vs FDroid Basic
  • @[email protected] I second Bitflip's comment.

    F-droid repos are amazing and a must-have, but the default F-droid front-end is not the most user-friendly.

    I have been very happy with the Droidify front-end, as have other F-droid users to whom I recommended it.

    You can get Droidify using F-Droid, of course.

  • What consoles are best enhanced by emulation? On the inverse, what consoles do you find provide a better experience than emulation?
  • PPSSPP: I initially installed it because my PSP Go was failing and corrupting my save files.

    Dumping all the PSP files onto a pc and loading one save with PPSSPP, fixed all the saves. Then I put them back on the PSP to continue my Gran Turismo career while commuting on the train.

    It was mind-boggling to me that the emulator could fix the original console. Of course, it also does all kinds of upscaling, double framerate, etc.

    After this happened twice though, I replaced the PSP with a Steam Deck. Sadly, the large stick on the Deck has caused me some trouble with controlling the higher end cars. PSP has no analog triggers, so all the finesse is in the flick of the ministick. I should load up GT4 (PS2) on the Deck soon. And MGS 1 through 3. Am very happy playing GRID (2008) and Death Stranding for now though.

  • Les cars de longue distance sont dans quelques pays même plus environnementale que les TGV, n'ont pas besoin d'infrastructure specifique, et sont le mode de transport le plus economique, permettant chacun de faire des voyages en Europe.

    Mais parce qu'ils n'ont pas le niveau de comfort que Mr. Gregoire aimerait, il ose de les appeler "pas dignés".

    Je ne suis pas francais, donc excusez moi pour la langue. "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche". Il y a pas l'espace dans les trains, c'est la realite economique.

  • Vectors Part 2
  • Check CompassRed's comment above.

    The definition part of the wikipedia article has a table with these "nice relationships for addition and scaling". You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both.

  • We all have a “Jared” at our company #softwaredeveloper - YouTube
  • Good point. I guess you're right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.

    Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is "how many story points is that?", who's then silenced because "this is important!", confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:

    • no technical expertise
    • is not in charge
    • does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis

    Especially being talked over. This matches many women's experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.

    I'd much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who's in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.

    Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄

  • I am tired of all my friends viewing me as a child.
  • I understand your frustrations and I hope you can find people who (100% honest) are more mature than that, and have a happier and more positive attitude.

    This whole "I am so mature" alleged superiority vibe stinks of teenage insecurity. You can do better than that.

  • Calling All Athiests
  • The most mind-blowing moment I've ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.

    If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!

    Turns out half of Maxwell's laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.

  • LinkedIn Migrates Their Servers From CentOS To Azure Linux
  • Yeah that's the whole Enterprise LTS issue. RHEL is the same, as is Ubuntu after a literal decade of LTS support.

    I am so happy that we have podman in RHEL 8. Rootless podman containers with distrobox are a godsend in these software geography dig sites that have to pass for a workshop.

  • Is WattOS open source?
  • I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.

    It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.

    If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.

    Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you're looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.

  • Microsoft hand original mono project off to WineHQ
  • Makes sense. Mono was necessary in the "old .NET" world, where runtimes were tied to Windows versions and the framework was a pure Windows framework. Mono made it possible to run old dotNET framework versions (up to 4.8) on other OSes.

    Since dotNET Core and then dotNET 5 and higher, the framework itself is cross-platform so Mono is not necessary anymore, except for backwards compatibility for apps that use a now unsupported framework.

    So it makes sense that Microsoft, after dropping the old dotNET Framework versions, also wants to stop supporting the cross-platform library that was only needed for those old versions.

  • UK protest rule

    Context: in the UK, climate activists got 4-5 years in jail for planning a non-violent protest. The law that made this possible was literally written by the oil lobby: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/rishi-sunak-right-wing-think-tank-anti-protest-laws-policy-exchange/?ref=publicsquare.uk

    (Tiny) breaking change changes monitor output hex ID

    I noticed this immediately because I use kanshi (highly recommended for laptops running sway!). I don't know the how or why (maybe it's the wlroots bump), but when I upgraded Sway to 1.9 today, the Hex ID form one of my external monitors changed. So I had to update it in the config for kanshi to work again.

    Just a heads up for other kanshi users, and people whose scripts may be influenced by this.

    "I don't have ADHD, I'm just really annoying"

    So I recently started to recognize a lot of the behaviors associated with ADHD. I was and still am in doubt whether I have ADHD or not, but some specific events caused me to ask my doctor to refer me for a diagnosis. I was actually doing quite OK-ish this year, after having struggled with self-worth, short depressive episodes and mild trauma in the recent past. But I noticed that I started to have trouble focusing again as the newness wore off after my career change. And I got called out by my friends for "acting ADHD". Which did not sound unusual at all.

    So I got the referral, went through the intake with shrink 1, did an adult ADHD diagnosis with shrink 2. The diagnosis involved me and my mom answering questions about the presence of ADHD symptoms now and in my early childhood (5-12 yo). Basically, now I do have almost all of the characteristics, though they often are erratic (no problems studying, huge difficulties with household tasks, work productivity varies orders of magnitude day to day) and often not noticed by others (my average productivity in a month is great, though many days I feel shit due to not being able to do what I am supposed to).

    In childhood, no symptoms were found. Zero. Partly because everyone in my family is forgetful and mom picks up stuff after everyone all the time, I was constantly reminded/pushed/supported and did not really have the opportunity to forget things (though I still did) and partly because like now, many of these things happen in my head and are not noticeable in the averages that others see. Except when I'm talking too much and interrupting people but I guess thats acceptable when children do it.

    Maybe I don't have ADHD. Maybe it's something else. Maybe the shrink misunderstood me.

    But I feel shit right now. The title is what I had pre-planned to say to people about the outcome and if they say again "don't act so ADHD". I can say it with a laugh and everyone thinks I'm funny and quirky.

    But the truth is, I feel misunderstood. I feel like a failure for having fallen into an ADHD phenotype even though I am hugely privileged and have none of the baggage so many people here do. No childhood trauma, no school/grades problems, no poverty.

    I can't help but feel that my behavior is my fault, as is wasting health professionals time, who could have helped someone who actually needed it. Shrink 1 is on "long-term sick leave" now. She got stressed by me clicking things constantly during the (remote) interviews. Another thing to feel guilty about.

    Best case now is that they diagnose me with some sort of anxiety disorder now. I have been reading a book on autism that I found and it somewhat satisfies my yearning for closure and community in what the author finds, but it also makes it extra painful that I don't have that.

    I don't have ADHD, I just am super annoying. And I need to deal with that and it's not actually all that funny.

    I'm sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for sharing your stories and memes and goodbye!

    partition mounted at /home is 250+ GB, but all apps and fs analyzers running on /home say it is only 62 GB "apparent size". Any ideas before I nuke the partition?

    • Pop!_OS 22.04
    • on a 500GB SATA SSD
    • separate partitions with ext4 fs for the root and /home partitions.

    I have Googled a lot, resized the home partition and filesystem a few times (from a liveboot USB) and run various analyzers but the problem persists.

    Some output:

    ``` pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3 resize2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda3' first.

    pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ cd a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ && sudo ncdu || cd ../ pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo lsblk /dev/sda3 -o size SIZE 271G pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ sudo e2fsck /dev/sda3 e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) /dev/sda3: clean, 264256/17768448 files, 8195768/71048094 blocks pop-os@pop-os:/media/pop-os$ df -h --out=size a358cafe-a2a3-46a4-ba33-0a82e88fb157/ Size 266G ```

    ncdu, du show 62 GB and Steam says similarly that there is no space to install games.

    When I resize the partition and filesystem, it does show less remaining size. Resizing back to 290 GB, the max is still ~62 GB total apparent space.

    Any ideas before I nuke the partition and move my data into a fresh one?

    Sea Harrier FRS.1, 1:72, Hasegawa, with magnets

    I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result.

    My first coordinated flight on Enigma's Cold War: Mirage F1s and the Death Star

    This AAR was originally shared at Mudspike, I hope you like it.

    This was in February, back in Enigma's V1 with the lines, no hex grid, flying F1CE in the old scenario.

    -------------------

    It must be about a year since I have been eyeing Enigma’s Cold War server. I have flown there once or twice, but have only dreamt of flying the Mirage F1 in a coordinated planned fashion.

    I have not flown a lot last week, but last night I managed to get myself invited to @miRage and @MBot 's group and joined them for an attack run in the Mirage F1 on Enigma’s Cold War server. It had just switched to Caucasus earlier that day (I still don’t own Syria).

    It was an epic flight. They had a flight plan, a detailed attack plan (with mils, degrees, feet and knots), helped me manage the radios and allowed me to focus on flying and looking around.

    As we approached the front line at 20k ft, just above the clouds, @MBot was talking to the AWACS and told us things like: “Fishbed, 10 nmi, roughly heading towards us” “7 nmi” “No he’s on the deck, we’re safe” This happened a few times. I did not feel safe at this point. But that was clearly not going to happen in a full ECW server with 70 players flying aggressively around the same front line area.

    Finally, one of the Fishbeds did appear to be coming after us, but that was right as we approached the IP and dove into the valley that would take us to our target. We flew low and fast (Mach 0.95 on the deck) with a full load of 5 Belouga cluster bombs. In trail formation, with yours truly in third

    “Only 3 nmi behind us” - our leader said

    I suggested using burner but we can’t go supersonic with the bombs still on so we pressed on at M0.95 I said: “Don’t worry guys, he’ll shoot me first”

    “Stay on target…” was @miRage 's apt response.

    As we arrived at the target, we followed lead’s cues: 30 degrees left, 30 degrees up At 6200 feet sea level, turn into the target. We had planned for a 15 degree dive, release at 1500 feet AGL with the target at 121 mils.

    I don’t remember what my dive angle was. I think I was shallow, but I was a bit distracted by the tracers that flew by my cockpit as I walked the pipper onto the target.

    I dropped my bombs roughly on target and started flying erratically, low, with full burner, while announcing to the others what was happening. I occasionally looked back but focused mostly on flying dangerously while not flying into terrain.

    Some intense tens of seconds later, I spotted one of my flight in front of me and wanted to warn them for the MiG that would surely start taking a shot at them.

    Then I heard the magic words:

    “AWACS reports nearest bandit is 20 miles out”

    I looked past my shoulder and saw a large fire in one of the forests behind me.

    He must have flown into terrain or maybe he killed his engine: my flight told me the Mirage F1 can fly faster without killing its engine at low altitude.

    We rejoined just above treetop level and managed to fly back to base.

    This may well be the best DCS experience I have ever had.

    Looking forward to more attack runs on ECW with these guys!

    Running a small Lemmy instance on Pine64, is it recommended?

    I am not looking to onboard thousands of users or host large communities, just my own and some family and close friends' accounts. I don't currently have a scalable homeserver setup (just a local Home Assistant instance on a Pi) and don't have the space to put an old desktop running Proxmox on a cable.

    I was browsing single-board computers and the Pine64 (2GB RAM) looks like a good deal. It seems more powerful than similarly priced Raspberry Pis (3B 1GB). Is it good for running a small Lemmy instance on?

    EDIT: Thanks for the advice all, just bought an 8th gen i3 NUC (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) to play around with Proxmox and VMs. Going to start off with migrating Home Assistant and then set up a Lemmy instance, and perhaps a static website too.

    Any combat flight simmers out here?

    Is there a federated r/hoggit-like place already? What should a federated hoggit be called? Foggit? Or just [email protected]?

    As for me personally, I mostly fly helicopters and mid-late cold war jets (guess my favorite) in DCS though I sometimes do MSFS and have previously flown X-Plane (7,8,11).

    I use a VR headset, HP Reverb G2, with Virpil HOTAS and MFG pedals. Ryzen 5800X3D with an RTX3080.
