I have to confess that I do not know how every European language says it, but I do know that both German and Danish say and write the equivalent of “o’ clock/on the clock”, eg. “Klokken, Uhr”.
The only time I’ve seen “x hours” used, is either in programming, that abomination that is “military time”, or when defining time from now, eg. “Let’s meet in 4 hours, at 20 on the clock”.
16 hours is mostly an American military way to say it. 16 on the clock (or similar for different languages) is the main European way to say it.
TV time and military time don’t even use 24 hours. You can have a TV show that goes from 23:30 to 25:15 (25>24, in 24h it would be 01:15).
I imagine those who call 24h “military time” also say “I’ll be home from work on Friday at 4100 AM”, which makes about the same amount of sense.
First of, in Europe we use ISO 8601, which is quite different from the military time which the USA uses.
Second, in my home country we still say “16 on the clock” or “15:45 on the clock” (just translated to the native language, eg. “Klokken 16”) to signify we’re talking time and not weight or distance.
The speech is about software (and laws) not being able to properly limit software, and that as long as we have “General-Purpose Computing” (aka. PCs or hardware/computers that you have access to) we will not be able to properly limit software. Cory just didn’t think as far as the solution 15 years later being to move the hardware on which your software runs away from you.
It is quite tragicomic how we went from mainframes and terminals in the 60’s to GPC/PCs in the 90’s and now are moving back to cloud (aka. mainframes and terminals but on a global scale).
If you want another example, try counting to 10 in hex (base 16).
Also, base 10 is always base 10, but “10” in base 2 is 2 in all counting systems above base 2 (since base 2 doesn’t actually include 2, just like base 10 doesn’t include “A”). Likewise, 10 in base 10 represented in base 2 would be 1010. ;)
So you want to be able to stream Gimp and have a shared drive with your PC’s sheets, it needs to be open source and with no limitations?
I’d just do gimp+Discord+google docs, but if you want it to be open source and all-in-one then go checkout Nextcloud. I think that’s as free as you get, if even foundry is too limiting.
Nice. The first computer I had all to myself had Vista, it thought me how to fix my own stuff after random crashes. I ditched Windows shortly after the end of support for windows 7, after having entirely skipped 8, and then witnessing Microsoft themselves skipping 9 for the shitshow that was 10.
I’m not entirely sure how “… don’t need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine” became “Debian is obviously superior to Alpine”.
… I was referencing systemd and familiarity of use in regard to OP. Debian just happened to be mentioned, it comes per default with systemd, and it’s my personal first choice for servers. Though, taking context into account, OP did say they originally came from Ubuntu and made it sound like they were trying to optimize their system since it “only” had 4(8)GB memory in total.
I do believe Debian with systemd is more similar to Ubuntu than Alpine is to Ubuntu. My point was not so much about Debian vs Alpine in general as it was specific to efficiency in regard to memory usage, with the sole reason to change to Alpine over Debian (or any OS which uses systemd, really) purely for memory savings being rather weak when systemd only uses some <50MB in memory, the computer has 4GB+ of it, and the user already is familiar with Debian-based flavors which use systemd.
So no, Debian is obviously not “obviously superior to Alpine”, just as systemd isn’t too heavy to run on computers with 4GB of RAM - unless you’re trying to push the computer to its limits.
Huh? I don’t think you need anything near as memory efficient as Alpine for something which has 4GB of RAM, unless you’re doing it for the sole purpose of pushing the machine and yourself to the limit.
I only ever consider dropping Debian and/or Systemd when going below 512MB RAM. I’ve run most of my public-facing homelab stuff on a 1GB VPS till recently, including multiple webservers such as FoundryVTT, and Docker containers such as a Wireguard server, Jenkins, Searxng, etc… It rarely used more than ~60% of the RAM, but I obviously couldn’t run Immich or any heavy services on it.
Me to my hairline: Stop right there, criminal scum!
I’m afraid to say that I too have been corrupted by VSCode.
It’s widely used, easy to get into, has LOTS of extensions, and works mostly the same across OS’es meaning it’s easy to setup by and explain to others.
The two extensions I’m missing most in other IDE/text editors would be the “Remote - SSH” extension by Microsoft, which gives unparalleled integration when working remote, and PlatformIO which, while it can be used independently in its core form, just works way better in VSCode.
Besides this, I’ll use Nano for small tasks and vi on embedded devices where Nano is unavailable, though, I’ll need a vi cheatsheet for anything more advanced than basic editing.
That’s weird. I just tested it with a friend (I’m on Endeavour, she’s on Win11, the server is VPS with Debian running the newest Synapse and Element-web). Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that’s all.
EDIT: No, you’re right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming? I’m pretty sure I remember it working a month ago, so there should be a bug report in Synapse (or element).
Element has audio issues on Linux? Didn’t notice it when I tested whether Matrix had what I needed (a month past). I’ll see if it screws up if I try again now.
Element already has desktop streaming as an experimental feature. Worked fine last i tested it. Currently planning how to trick my social circle into using it.
I also want to go check out the new TeamSpeak, it’s supposed to be a decent Discord alternative - Even though Discord originally replaced it.
Ignoring space for a moment, it depends whether you see time as a single - linear - dimension, or as a set of n dimensions.
If time can only exist as a single dimension, then yes, we’d have a paradox.
If time is two-(or more)-dimensional, then you’d just step into a parallel timeline/dimension for every change made, forsaking the old timeline Steins’ Gate-style.
Obviously, 2+ dimensional time cannot be proven, so it’s just a fun thought experiment. It’s not entirely unlike the hypothetical 4th dimension of space - which would leave space-time with 4 dimensions of space and one of time.
Well, I got that, but that’s also pretty much the only thing it mentions. What were the results? Was it better then the last generation? How will it change warfare in the future (beyond Gaza)?
I’m gonna ignore the deeply unethical application under which this mysterious and barely named new rocket was tested, since that hardly is relevant to this community and better discussed elsewhere.
EDIT: Sorry, that last paragraph should have an “I think” in there, since I’m no mod and am purely voicing my opinion about low quality and (what I find to be) barely relevant posts in this community.
Hmm, this seems more about economics and politics than technology.
Like, what exactly is the new type of Bar rocket and how does it compare to the older rockets? I see it being mentioned as a replacement for Rumach rockets, but the only details are that it’s got some unnamed “guidance mechanism specifically designed for difficult combat environments” and that it’s rapid fire (compared to some other unnamed rocket?).
Jup. I think I’ve had some 3 actual issues the past 2 years on EndeavourOS. But the Endeavour team did a good job of warning me on Discord/RSS or at least provide tutorials and explanations afterwards.
One of the issues was in regard to Grub (fixed by Timeshift rollback and a one-liner), one was in regard to some rogue Nvidia bug crashing the login window (fixed by Timeshift rollback and waiting a few days before updating again), and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).
For reference, I had what felt like similar annoying bugs (and much worse) on Windows 10 about every month, but without any useful support from Microsoft. :(
EDIT: speaking of the devil. A fourth issue just popped up.
