Explanation/Alt text: The tuxedo Winnie the Pooh meme showing more and more abstract representation of "home".

  1. The literal word "Home"
  2. 127.0.0.1, the IP address of your current device
  3. ~/, the Unix home directory
  4. A Nintendo Switch RCM clip, which is used to short pin 1 and 10 of the Joycon railing in order to enter recovery mode (RCM) for softmodding. The pin 1 and 10 combination is known as the "hardware home button"

All Gentoo users remember the pain of compiling QtWebEngine ;)

I used to run Gentoo on my old computer. Installing it was quite the experience. That was where I learnt about most of how Linux works thanks to the wiki.

I heard compiling your own packages with use flags can improve performance, but honestly it was not worth it for the compile time.

When I switched to my new PC, the Nvidia GPU doesn't work and I could not figure out why. I also don't have the time at that moment so I installed Endeavour instead, which I'm still using.

Not exactly sense, but my brain's processing. I can easily pick out the melody of only 1 instrument in music. It's like Fourier transform but on instrument level.

My condolences to all the people who have lost their friends, family and home.

In case you don't know what happened, on 26/11 a bit before 3pm, a fire broke out in Wang Fuk Court, a housing estate located in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. The buildings were under renovation with a lot of nets and scaffolding surrounding them, so the fire spread very quickly, and burned from outside in. It burned for a WHOLE DAY, and at the time of me writing this, it's still burning.

There are at least 83 dead, 77 injuries and 200+ people still missing. All these people were innocent, and I am getting secondhand sadness from all the people still alive.

Now onto the mad part (this post is a mess). Capitalism screws us all over again. According to investigations, the construction company used some very flammable materials for a cheaper cost in the renovation, the net may not be up to standard, and (speculation) the fire is probably started by some dumb construction worker's cigarette butt. Bro's guilt must be off the roof right now.

The entire city is now supporting these residents. People are donating materials for all of them who have just lost their homes. The government is providing funds (actually, directly useful) to help them. At least some humanity can still be seen within us in the god awful system.

Was playing online and saw someone with the name "Content" but the n was replaced with a Russian character. This makes it unsearchable (directly) in both English and Russian.

I live in Hong Kong and it feels like most American fast food here involves oil and deep fried food. Then I remembered at one point HK local fast food were full of MSGs.

It led me to this question. What is your local fast food obsessed with? It can be an ingredient, spice, sauce, cooking method, etc.

Danas (丹娜絲) is a typhoon that formed to the east of Hong Kong and is moving northwards. She pretty much pulled away all the clouds so it's very sunny (and hot) here.

They were so smart that they went back into the water and don't have to ever deal with capitalism

Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.

Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.

You don't download shell scripts from github for windows. You download batch scripts and exes from random file hosting sites, and they don't even fix your problem.

Every 1 minute, 3L of water gets heated by 50K. With a specific heat capacity of 4200 J / kg / C and density of 1 g / mL, it takes 3 x 4200 x 50 = 630000J per minute.

With a rate of 4.0 x 10^4 J / g for the heater, we can get the rate of combustion with 630000 / 40000 = 15.75 g per minute.

People had multiple accounts because servers were unstable. Now that stability has increased we're just abandoning the alts.

You're very close! I'll make some edits.

1  My life over here is terrible.
2  Work environment is not very good (yes you're correct), benefits are few
3  But don't need to worry, every day has only about 10 people getting heavily injured,
4  and I am very careful.
5  We opened a small store, business is not bad.
6  Although I am not very familiar with English, I can still sometimes 
7  (This line is adding a word to the previous line)
8  understand what the white people (we meant westerners) are saying. (Line 6 to 8 are parts of the same sentence)
9  Hope I can get some fame here! I will work hard here, and
10 will be careful with my health
11 Are you (plural) still good?
12 Very miss you (plural), wish we can meet again

(I am a Hongkonger, speaking Cantonese since the day I was born. The other translations using translation software aren't accurate because there is an added character at line 7.)
