Personally I’d put a higher priority on stamping out that use of “porn”.

Because otherwise, a horde of raiders in spiky leather armour will cross the radioactive wasteland, roll up to your place and rip your arms off.

Well for one thing, there is that one obvious thing which Americans and everyone else are also unready to hear: You need to give up fossil fuels. No more coal, no more gas, no more petrol, no more diesel. Some parts of Europe like to think they’re well on the way to that goal but even there for the most part you’ve barely begun and are moving too slowly or in the wrong direction (e.g. biofuels). The hard part cannot be put off for much longer.

The dotcom bubble was based on technology that had already been around for ten years. The AI bubble is based on technology that doesn’t exist yet.

1 American short kilobyte = 0.9766 kilobytes

I’m willing to entertain the possibility that the linux world may be lacking in some things, but I’m pretty sure “configuration tools for sysadmins” is not one of them.

My first thought was “why would you ever buy it in amounts less than an 8th, that’s not much” but I guess I had heard of such a thing as a dime bag which I have only just now learned was 1g. I always thought it meant “$10 worth” or something, and was for tourists who didn’t know they were paying too much for too little.

I don’t know about the 1970s but in the late '80s it seems to me that none of the weed dealers had gone metric yet. I assumed this meme was about cocaine.

Apparently I have fewer problems with it than some. It’s snap. Maybe I could come up with some other minor complaints, but nothing big really. It’s mostly just snap. That is what prevents me using or recommending Ubuntu any more.

okay I fixed it

    if ( test == false )
        x = 1
    else
        assert( x != 1 )

    if ( test == false )   
        x = 1
    else
        x != 1

Wikipedia says “the inner region has thermodynamically no entropy and may be thought of as a gravitational Bose–Einstein condensate” if that helps

On my system that consistently gets results around 10s and 5s so the difference is sort of interesting. Mine’s a Ryzen 3600, maybe newer CPU features are of substantial benefit to xz.

The .tar.xz format decompresses more than twice as fast as .tar.bz2, allowing you to get up and running in no time

$ time tar xjf firefox-134.0b3.tar.bz2 

real    0m9.045s
user    0m8.839s
sys     0m0.450s

$ time tar xJf firefox-135.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.xz                                                

real    0m4.903s
user    0m4.677s
sys     0m0.510s

Nice! Presumably it’d be twice as fast if disk was infinitely fast or something. Unfortunately by testing this I’ve already used up a hundred times more time than I’ll ever save as a result of it.

Step 1: Get magic rocks.

Step 2: Now design the rest of the nuclear reactor.

I don’t think that kind of anti-labour attitude is likely to be prevalent among people who play daily NYT word games. A more mainstream response is probably more like “whatever, nerds.”

Overclocking

Iceraven is one alternative worth considering.

It’s probably related to this: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/merge_requests/63

F-droid Fennec had build problems lately due to google removing big dependencies from its android package repo or whatever, so it’s well out of date for now. The latest version there has at least that one well-known security problem that was in the news a few weeks ago. I don’t know why you’re getting notified about it now, I have it installed and didn’t see that. But if you’re risk-averse then you probably shouldn’t currently be using it to visit websites that might be malicious.

Recent comments over there suggest that progress is being made at last.
