But still, from my very brief experience, sometimes it requires fiddling or game might just not work or crash here and there. Whereas games on windows just work. More or less. Remember, there are plenty of none tech savvy gamers out there who just want to play games.

Of course weapons purchase is also political. It always is when it comes to external sellers. And I don't get it why are they still insisting with F-35s. It's too risky if nothing else.

If you are a gamer, you don't care, me thinks, sadly so

The big parts are philosophy and libraries, learning a language is relatively easy.

If they continue like that, they will run out of targets

If I do the former, then I need a new disk for the computer if I were to sell it or otherwise keep it functional, don't I? And disks, especially these days, are not cheap. Plus it doesn't make much (financial) sense to keep the standard disk just for archival purposes. You are also missing an major upgrade scenario - shall I buy a new disk each time I do an upgrade?

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Stick the drive in a USB caddy and keep it?

That'd work only if I throw the computer away.

We are not that disarmed, plus Russia can't even win over Ukraine and now they are expected to wage a full war against NATO?

Let's say I want to preserve my computer disks when I do a major change (i.e. 10TB worth of NAS or just 4TB worth of workstation) or when I sell it or just throw it away. What do I do? Time is not essential. Or as others said, store photos and other large files. It's for archival, not for backup purposes.

Awesome for archival

One more reason to sewer US dependency and build our own weapons.

I'm looking to what happened to To foreigners (non-Americans), is respect for the USA dead? post (posted here about a day ago), mostly out of curiosity. I assume it was deleted (by an admin?) but can't see anything in modlog. Could it be deleted by author and that's why it isn't listed in modlog or anywhere else?

This is really a stupid and anti-bicycle law, hopefully others won't follow.

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

Sadly Roglič, after taking ~~3~~ 4 falls, abandons the Giro. 🙁

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

  1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
  2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

Well written thoughts on C#12 primary constructors. Sadly they are not really useful. At least for now.

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes

I'm considering Fiido Titan as e-bike for shopping and short distance commuting. It's hilly where I need it. Any thoughts on bike quality or anything else? From a review on YouTube it seems decent enough. TIA

Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
