Note that those are deepseek, not chatgpt. I've largely given up on chatgpt a long time ago as it has severe limitations on what you can ask it without fighting its filters. You can make it go on hallucinated rants just as easily - I just nowadays do that on locally hostable models.

I read about that, and my first thought was that bike lanes adjacent to streets indeed aren't a great thing - but then again, you probably don't have all the bike/pedestrian only paths offering way shorter connections we have here. In the area I live in I can reach pretty much any house by foot within 5-10 minutes - while most of them are only reachable by car with a lengthy detour, if at all.

Over here in Europe we'd just arrive by public transport.

I've been using an Arm notebook with Windows for over a year now (not as main system, but development system for a customer project). I'm running a lot of x86 software (like Emacs) as a gcc port for Windows/Arm is being developed only now - with no problems. It integrates nicely into the native stuff - which is one area where you run into issues on the Mac: If you start a shell in rosetta it's annoying to make calls to native arm binaries.

The only issue I ran into were some drivers not available for Arm - emulation layer (unsurprisingly) just is for userland, not kernel drivers. Also x86 emulation isn't working well if Windows is running in a virtual machine on MacOS - but supposedly that'll be fixed in the upcoming Windows release.

All of this only applies to Windows 11 - if for some reason you decide to run Windows 10 on Arm you're in a world of pain.

If your install is using LVM (which anything installed over a bit more than a decade should be) you can set up the new second drive as a RAID with a missing device, add it as additional PV, use pvmove to move all PEs to the RAID, remove the old PV, and now add that disk to the RAID.

On a phone the additional power draw of larger modules can be an issue - plus phones are designed to freeze background apps to conserve memory, so you can get away with less.

I currently have 6GB in my phone, which mostly is fine. In a few situations I'd have preferred having 8, though. 4 or less hasn't made sense for a few years now.

Back in 2001 we got ext3, adding journaling to the most widely used filesystem on Linux - which can just roll back transaction on next mount, while previously you'd have to run fsck to get your filesystem back to a consistent state.

A non-journaling filesystem was easier to get into a state where things were broken in interesting ways, as a unclean unmount had a higher chance of impacting critical data.

In the early days of journaling filesystems fsck was also quite lacking - so when things got bad enough that you did need fsck there was a decent chance you'd end up in trouble.

Nowadays both robustness of the file systems as well as quality of fsck have greatly improved.

Der relevante Teil ist eher "wer nicht eingezogen werden will kann das ohne Flucht aus Russland tun" - was auch heisst dass wir in Europa nur in Ausnahmefaellen russischen Wehrdienstverweigerern Asyl gewaehren sollten.

Das wurde schon mehrfach heiss diskutiert - und ich seh auch aus meiner russischen Verwandtschaft dass das kein Problem ist. Wer nicht mit dem Krieg einverstanden war oder eben einfach nicht selber mitmachen wollte hatte sofort nachdem die Mobilisierungsgeruechte kamen einen systemrelevanten Zweitjob. Wollen viele hier halt nicht glauben dass der Grund fuer russische Wehrdienstverweigerer die in die EU kommen in den meisten Faellen nicht die Sicherheit vor Verfolgung in Russland ist.

(Das gerade gesagte trifft jetzt nicht auf diverse arme Gegenden weit im Osten zu - aber die haetten eh praktisch keine Chance es nach Europa zu schaffen, wenn sie denn ueberhaupt wuessten dass das eine Moeglichkeit waere, und sind daher fuer diese Diskussion irrelevant)

Wie sprichst du China aus?

I assume that was meant as comment reply? :)

I think in many European countries bicycling is at least a common way for the kids to get around - at least it was like that in Germany, where I'm originally from. There are huge differences in the available infrastructure (which also impacts how many adults stick to cycling) - but also was fine in Germany just by bike.

Infrastructure in Finland is a lot better, though, and cycling in winter also not a problem.

Applies the other way as well: A decade ago ended up not signing the contract after initially accepting the position at a major US chip makers EU office - with managers in the US - as it became clear during the process to get to that point there'll be cultural compatibility issue for my spoiled EU citizen ass, even though the office was in the EU, and they're forced to follow our labour laws.
