“Meteor” by Dan Brown (could be a different name in the original language). It was the first time I read something that was bad. Up until then book were cool and fun and interesting. It was a puzzling experience.

Edit: it’s called “Deception Point” in the original.

Hm hätte ich das doch früher gewusst, dann wäre ich sogar mal bis nach Sachsen gereist!

No Rolkercoster Tycoon???

I have no idea how to fix the problem, but I’ve read somewhere that burn (a relatively new machine learning framework in Rust) is capable of loading models like stable diffusion. As Burn is built with webGPU and all the shader transpiler-stuff that comes with it doesn’t that mean that it can also run easily on (even older) AMD cards? I think what’s lacking is equal performance as nvidia drivers are heavily optimized already.

Maybe someone knows more here?

what does “rootfull” mean?

Glad that isn’t Rust code or the pass by value function wouldn’t be very nice.

it let’s you use the iPod like a USB drive where you can play anything that you put on there. it can also play ogg vorbis or vorbis or a lot of at her formats.

It’s been a while since i used fedora but last i remember dnf was awe fully slow compared to pacman. In fact so slow that i was wondering if there was some kind of bug somewhere. Glad this is being addressed. Fedora is imho the best distribution to get someone to use Linux for the first time. It works so well.

Neoliberalismus ist nicht das Gleiche, wie die “die Liberalen” in den USA.

Where would you have to touch internals in zed? In reality would you have to come into contact with rust when using Zed? If it works it wouldn’t be apparent what it was build with, wouldn’t it?

present… yet until i can toy around with zed in Linux

Hey!

ich wohn auch da!

… auf der anderen Seite… Hm hast vielleicht ein bisschen Recht :-)

Oh, i have a brilliant one:

A few years ago i spent a lot of time converting .flac-files into .ogg-files in order to put on my oldschool iPod. As I did a lot of repetitive typing - entering $dir / for file in flac ; do convert etc / mkdir -p $somewhere/$artist/$album / mv $somewhere/.ogg->$new_dir/ and so on - I thought: “hm lets just write a loop over loops for all the artists here and then all the albums and at the same time create the nested directories somewhere else… hm actually in the home directory… and later love everything on the iPod at once.”

so i was in my music folder with the artists-folders i wanted to convert. i did something wrong

So i did my complicated script directly in the shell. I made something wrong and instead of creating a folder “~/artist/album” I created 3 folders in my current working directory: “~”, “artist” and “album”. hmph dammit gotta try again… but first : i have to clean up these useless folders in the current dir. so i type of course this: "$ rm -r ~ artist album " after about 5 seconds of wondering why it took so long i realized my error. o_O I stopped the running command, but it was (of course) too late and i bricked my current installation. All the half-deleted config files made or impossible to start normally and extremely tedious to repair it by hand, so i reinstalled.

only if you don’t have to clean it up later. Nobody can pee standing up without making a mess. if you think you can you’ve never cleaned your toilet yourself.

Meine Empfehlung: Kauf dir auf ebay/kleinanzeigen einen alten ipod classic. Auf den Rockbox installieren und voilà: Du kannst direkt Ordner mit Musik drauf erstellen und fast alle gängigen audioformate dort abspielen. Kein dummes iTunes mehr notwendig.

ich hab seit etwa 3-4 Jahren wieder einen und immer noch nicht die 160GB mit ogg-dateien voll. (bin etwa bei nem Drittel). Falls ich wirklich mal keinen Platz habe, oder die Festplatte kaputt geht kann ich so ein upgrade-kit bestellen und die Festplatte durch mehrere microSD-cards ersetzen. Ich bin so glücklich seit ich wieder ein Gerät habe, das nur für Musik und nichts anderes ist. Auf dem Telefon Musik hören fand ich immer nervig. Da muss ich ständig zwischen anderen apps und Musik hin und her wechseln und bin auswerfen abgelenkt weil ich auf dem Gerät noch tausend andere Sachen mache.

Ich mag Apple nicht. aber das einzige Produkt, was sie mal gemacht haben, dass ich mochte ist auch heute noch ausgezeichnet: der iPod classic.

I also usw Arch (,btw).

But lately I thpught about checking out nix for a change. I’ve heard some good things about it, but didn’t dare use it.

I feel like nix is kinda like the new arch in a way. Is that true?

hopefully circumstances worsen quickly enough that it’ll be noticable for everybody so that the general public can clearly identify it as a direct consequence of this maniac being elected. If its deteriorating too slowly people might just not notice it as much and might go along with all the coming explanations ( probably immigrants, leftists, blahblah). If there’s a quick look into the abyss people might wake up and get into action.

One could ask in return “why do you use a mouse”. The answer is probably “I’ve always done it this way” and not “after trying out different methods it’s the one that i prefer”.

Naja Günterstal ist jetzt vielleicht nicht das Beste Beispiel um Straßenbahn+dörflich zu demonstrieren. Das ist ja schon etwas ein gequetscht im Schwarzwald, also nicht so dicht besiedelt.

I’m sorry but, I always find it strange when people talk about nuclear energy as the simplest solution.

Nuclear energy is extremely expensive compared to wind and solar once you also account for the cost of processing the uranium and then dealing with the radioactive waste afterwards.

Also take France for example. The EDF has (after being privatized) ran on substance without reinvesting in repairs and renovation so much that last year more than half of its 56(54?) reactors stood still because of problems relevant for their save operation. This was before the last record-breaking summer in 2022 when even more of them didn’t have enough cool water to operate. As a consequence the EDF made mountains of dept because they had to buy so much energy from Germany last summer (from all the solar and wind) that Macron (the famously socialist and anti-market-driven-everything-president of France had to re-nationalize EDF last year. If a neoliberal government like France’s nationalizes the EDF (famous for its highest percentage of nuclear energy in the mix) you can really see how great of a solution it really is.

Also: where does most of the world’s uranium come from? Russia. So not really much of a difference to the gas. France takes a lot of it from Mali as well (which explains their involvement there. So uranium isn’t that great in this regard as well).

Also: Nuclear reactors create the most important resource for nuclear weapons automatically.

In north-east Germany there’s the Wendelstein 7X an experimental stelarator-type fusion generator that since its operation blew all the best estimates for experimentation out of the water. But it can never create more energy than it takes because it’s too small. But it took decades to ensure the funding to even build a small one like this. For a fraction of the subsidies tat nuclear power plants, or gas or coal gets ever year we could’ve build many larger ones that would be much closer to be net positive in power production.

I’m not against nuclear energy per se. But it’s really annoying to hear all these voices from outside that from thousands of miles away know everything about Germany turning off its power plants.

The main advantage of nuclear in capitalism is that its central. Everybody having solar power and large fields of wind farms distributed evenly across the country make it less controllable by singular entities.

I might warm up more to nuclear energy it would be run in a more socialist society where there’s no profit-driven operation that drives companies to skip repairs. The corrosion crisis in France is a direct result of “market forces”.

If something like Chernobyl happened in France… holy shit. That country has the most tourists in the world and exporting their food into the whole wide world. And -yes - I know that the chernobyl-type reactor (Graphite-mediated and so on) isn’t used in France anymore. As someone who lived half of his life worth in 30km to “Fessenheim” - France’s oldest and now shut down Graphite-Based reactor - I can yell you that you examine the possible impact more closely from time to time and think about it more.

Solar and Wind are better. But they naturally don’t create market monopolies and dilute power over energy. That’s why they’re not pushed that hard. If a resource is spread out evenly you cannot make money from it. There’s no market. Capitalism doesn’t like this.
