Do you know what a dad is?

I knew this was going to be Stand-up Maths before I clicked the linked.

It’s a sweet, frothy, milk-like drink popular in Hispanic and Latin culture.

I wish I new how to easily install an AUR package manager when I first started.

Step 1: go to the AUR and choose a package manager. I recommend paru, but there are plenty of others.

Step 2: install git using pacman

sudo pacman -S git 

Step 3: copy the git clone URL for paru and pull it

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git

Step 4: CD into the new directory

cd paru

Step 5: install paru

makepkg -si

Now when you find a package from the AUR you want, you can easily install it.

paru -S [package]

Also, when you update your system, you only need to run paru -Syu. You don’t need to run both pacman -Syu and paru -Syu.

Deepseek is a Chinese AI company that released Deepseek R1, a direct competitor to ChatGPT.

I thought sex was determined at time of fertilization by the chromosomes. If a sperm carrying a Y chromosome meets an egg carrying an X chromosome, won’t the resulting fetus always be male? Is that not the case?

Dang. You’re right.

Internet says an average adult breaths 12 - 20 time per minute. Assuming 20 breaths per minute, that comes out to $1,440 dollars per day($0.05 × 20 breaths × 60 minutes × 24 hours)

If you’re dedicated, you can walk 20,000 steps in a day. It’s not easy, but it’s achievable. This would yield $5,000 per day.

For perspective, if you were smart and chose the $5,000 per day, it would take you 547 years to earn your first billion and 131,416 years to have as much money as Jeff Bezos.

Edit: I lost some decimals. I fixed the calculations

The cold tile floor of the marching band’s laundry room for about two hours. I had a severe migraine, and for me, that means I’m going to take a nap no matter where I am. It was about as comfortable as you can imagine.

I’m at 47 minutes so far, but it’s still early. Depending on how busy I am, it may get up to 3 hours by the end of the day.

In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn’t be praised in situations where it would be humorous.

My workout playlist consists of anime openings and Power Metal. I don’t watch anime nor play D&D, but I like the fast-paced and fantasy/superhero style.

2/9 = 0.222… 7/9 = 0.777…

0.222… + 0.777… = 0.999… 2/9 + 7/9 = 1

0.999… = 1

No, it equals 1.

What are these things? I want an army of them to do my bidding.

It might be Mint or an issue with your laptop. I’ve been using Arch for a while and haven’t had major performance issues. Before I used Arch, I used Pop!OS and didn’t have any issues either. What are your laptop specs? Have you already looked into Nvidia Optimus? Have you tried other distros?

Checkout Quad9 and NextDNS. I use NextDNS. The free tier NextDNS account is more than ample; I’ve never come close to exceeding it.

I see you didn’t close this tab. 🤔

Can you tell me more? I’m looking into a career in IT.

It’s a balance between convenience against privacy and security. The more private and secure you become, the more inconvenient. If something is too inconvenient, people will just work around it: writing passwords on a sticky note because the requirements were too high. It’s impossible to strike the perfect balance. Threat modeling is important. Threat modeling is where you determine what is OK and what isn’t. I have an Instagram account because my girlfriend likes to send me funny videos. I only use it to watch what she sends me, and I have it isolated from the rest of my apps. I could delete it, but my threat model allows it.

Side note: anything cryptography and computing is basically magic.
