I currently have a bit over 2400 tabs open, and it has been roughly a month since I restarted firefox for being too laggy. It is becoming an issue again.

Überweisung auf Papier [..] Und Gott bewahre, wenn du Münzgeld haben oder bringen willst.

Das sind Leistungen bei denen ich tatsaechlich auch meine dass das separat abgerechnet werden sollte. Basis sollte eine kostenlose bzw. von der Grundgebuehr abgedeckte Nutzung des Kontos im Selfservice sein - also alles Online oder an Selbstbedienungsterminals, sowie uebliche Kartennutzung im Eurogebiet. Fuer Sachen die man selbermachen kann eine Person beschaeftigen zu wollen ist ein Luxusproblem - und dafuer kann man dann auch zahlen.

Which of them, though?

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.

Wall is a linguist, which influenced several of his design choices. You have a wide variety of expressing what you want in perl, just as with natural languages - some ways are maybe a bit harder to read for newcomers, while others are not worse than something like python. Typically you'd have coding guides for projects.

I did a webchat in perl in the 90s, and eventually rewrote it in php3 - php was easier to manage properly isolated between users than perl via the CGI interface, so it became popular with hosters very quickly. I went back to doing all my web scripting in perl once I started hosting my own servers,though.

Emacs grep lets you run grep, and formats the results in a buffer from where you can then easily visit the files at the match location.

At least HP and Lenovo have arm64 notebooks with Windows.

Wayland got rid of a lot of the stupidity of apps thinking they know better what to do than the user, fortunately.

Not Op, but:

• Firefox works perfectly fine natively
• chrome/chromium work perfectly fine natively when started with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
• emacs since version 29 has the pgtk backend, which works without issues. I've been running emacs from git for about a year before the 29 release for pgtk already
• anything Qt does wayland natively, unless they're doing some weird stuff
• same for GTK, only one I can remember right now with problems would me GIMP, but I'm typically using Krita nowadays

Yes, but I'm asking you to use pbzip. bzip at best utilizes one core, both for packing and unpacking. pbzip uses as many cores as IO bandwith allows - with standard SATA SSDs that's typically around 30.

pbzip can only utilize multiple cores if the archive was created with it as well.

I have no idea about the US power grid, so your comment may still apply there - though I guess also not for much longer.

The new problem is that in Europe we now occasionally get more than 100% of power needed generated by renewables, so we'd either need storage or fast reacting power plants to compensate for spikes and drops in the renewable supply. We're at a point where we no longer really need new nuclear plants for some 'base load' - which is something they'd be good for. But as cost for operating a nuclear plant is pretty much fixed independent of power output they're very expensive when used for compensating spikes, something Finland just learned the hard way this year.

I just recently got my flipper - was buying some long range nfc stuff, and noticed they had that in stock, so decided it is cheap enough to just get it and figure out later what it is about.

I'm very pleasantly surprised - sturdy hardware, well polished software, and very good documentation. It is just a great thing to always have in your pocket - digital companion to the swiss army knife I always carry.

I have a lot of more powerful specialized equipment - which pretty much everything in the article is. But most of that isn't really suitable enough to always have it with me - not versatile enough, or limited options without attached computer. flipper is great to just have a look around - and to know what to bring next time, if there's something interesting to investigate further.

edit after having it a bit longer: The versatility of the flipper is still unique, and makes it a pocket knife you just want to carry - but it shows problems on specialist use, probably mainly because it still is a relatively new device. If there's a chance I want to interact with HF NFC I went back to carrying my proxmark (rdv4 with bluetooth addon, small HF only antenna) as well - can read/dump more card types, and has less bugs for card emulation. I still use the flipper to get a first impression, though - it just has the better standalone UI.

A big problem of the proxmark is the need to recompile the firmware for different standalone modes - to make that less painful on the road I've now added packages of git head for Tumbleweed on OBS which contain all possible standalone firmwares for PM3 generic and RDv4 with and without bluetooth.
