They probably couldn't get google drive to work without 3rd party cookies.

Ich hatte da frueher auch oefter mal die Diskussionen - das sind Leute die Atomkraft innerhalb einer idealen Umgebung sehen, wo es tatsaechlich bis vor kurzem noch eine gute Option gewesen waere, aber ausblenden dass ein alter Tischler die Laender in denen das halbwegs sauber gehandhabt wird an einer Hand abzehlen kann.

Ich selber lebe seit langem in Finnland - Atomkraft hier sehe ich komplett unproblematisch, zumindest den Bestand. Neubau macht jetzt denke ich auch keinen Sinn mehr, und ich denke das haben die Verantwortlichen mit dem neulich ans Netz gegangenen Reaktor (nach massiven Verzoegerungen und Kostensteigerungen) auch kapiert. Aber: Die Gegend hier ist geologisch extrem stabil, und das Endlagerproblem ist ordentlich geloest.

Fuer Deutschland sehe ich dagegen Atomkraft als unmachbar an - da bekommt man nicht mal ne Stromtrasse Nord-Sued hin, Endlagerversuche wurden mehrmals verkackt, politische Situation ist allgemein eine Katastrophe mit einem Misch aus NIMBY und Korruption.

He probably needs a comaintainer. We could select one of us and then try pressuring him into accepting that.

What kind of monster stores bananas in the fridge?

Friendly reminder: just don't buy nvidia

First step, in case you didn't do that yet: Create a disk image of the partition - you don't want to try data recovery on the actual data. Easiest is just using dd to dump the disk to another drive.

Next try running testdisk on the image to see if it can find the backup superblocks - if it does you can feed that to fsck to restore the filesystem.

If you know the blocksize of the filesystem you can also run mke2fs with the -S parameter - this will just write the superblocks. Again, only do that on a disk image, not the actual drive.

Would be interesting if this is more on Firefox side, or on compositor side. I've been running Firefox in Wayland for about 9 months now, without any issues.

Outside of tech circles pretty much nobody seems to have noticed how bad google search has become over the least years - unfortunately there's no single search engine that's "general purpose good", like google used to be.

It's somewhat ironic that nowadays using metasearch engines often makes sense again - for those too young to remember, that was the default way of searching in the mid to late 90s, until google came along with consistently good search results.

I just googled that, assuming it must be something from the 50s or maybe 60s - but 2008? What the fuck is wrong with you guys over there?

If you just read the headline - read the article. From the headline you could assume that it might be some grey area thing - but based on the article "could be seen as abduction" is a very friendly phrase to describe what has happened.

I recently spent about two weeks trying to figure out why an intercontinental connection between two of our sites was broken. Not really my job, I just care about application level, but the network guys were beyond useless.

In the end I had the problem isolated to a specific network segment in India, which made them look at the right system and fix things. The reason? "We put up a firewall the day your problems started which blocks everything, if we allow your connection it works".

A week ago, my mom figured out how to get through my bedroom door lock: using a screwdriver.

That doesn't help you, but: My kids were 4 when they figured that out - by themselves.

Assuming you're old enough that your mom doesn't have to worry about you cutting your hair with the paper scissors or something like that this behaviour doesn't sound normal - and while it might be useful in the short term to be able to properly close your door it'll most likely just shift conflict in the longer term, and you'll have to look into actually resolving that. We have a saying in IT - 'you can't solve social problems with technical solutions'. This might apply here.
