Jumuta,

I feel the same way but Brodie’s usually fine

Jumuta,

i mean an os could definitely overvolt the gpu, that’s how users do it

Jumuta,

Yeah you definitely can’t easily kill it, only shorten its lifespan

Jumuta,

196’s removal of downvotes are annoying as fuck sometimes

Jumuta,

people don’t directly see the benefits of oil and gas in their life, but they do with meat

Jumuta,

Japan’s births just fell to a new record low. Tokyo hopes a dating app can turn that around (www.cnn.com)

Japan’s fertility rate, which has seen a precipitous fall for many years, has reached another record low as the government ramps up efforts to encourage young people to get married and start families — even launching its own dating app....

Jumuta,

interesting idea, though Chernobyl and Fukushima were both gen2s 💀

I guess it could be made more safe cheaply with modern electronics and software (seeing IoT/“AI”/boeing software engineers in a nuclear facility would freak me the fuck out though)

Both Chernobyl and Fukushima could’ve been avoided/reduced in effect with good failsafe software imo.

I kinda doubt we’d be able to make gen2s cheaper than gen3s (at least in small capacities) though, because their production lines and designs would’ve been long shut down/forgotten

Jumuta,

I agree with your points anyway but I still believe better electronics/software would’ve at least reduced the extent of the Fukushima disaster, because iirc one of the big problems was the inability to operate even low power electronics because of the backup power failure.

I’d think that the giant environmental consequences of the disaster could’ve been mitigated if things like pressure sensors from the reactors were visible by operators after the power loss and depressurization vents and the emergency core cooling system could’ve been activated.

imo the software shouldn’t have let the backup batteries to die running the cooling pumps when it would’ve been very important for reducing the overall extent of the damage

Jumuta,

agreed ubuntu is kinda shit but arch is hard (to setup post-installation) for a new user imo. You should try kde neon or smth which I’d consider to be a nice beginner distro

Jumuta,

it’s easier to walk in than a garden with only 100cm-long grass in it

also looks nicer than a barren garden with no grass

How easy is it to switch back to windows?

I’m considering switching to linux but I’m not a computer savvy person, so I wanted to have the option to switch back to windows if unforeseen complications (I only have 1 pc). Is it just a download on usb and install? And what ways can I get the product key or “cleaner” debloated versions.

Jumuta,

Potatoes are free hardware though? You can grow them yourself, study the source code, make changes to it and release it for others to use. Pretty sure you can’t do that with most modern computers

Jumuta,

librewolf is cool but I think it’s too privacy optimised for the average user, it often doesn’t keep you signed into sites (even with cookies enabled) and the ocsp things can be annoying sometimes

Jumuta,

normal North Koreans have access to private computers that can read thumb drives??

Jumuta,

not really? farming meat doesn’t necessarily have to involve so much antibiotics

sure you can reduce the amount of antibiotics used by reducing the throughput of meat but you can also just put in tighter regulations

Jumuta,

I (can’t figure out if I’m) us(ing th)e( correct drivers on) Arch, btw.

Jumuta,

didn’t know about this, I’ll definitely try it out

Jumuta,

You’re running a t410??

that’s amazing that it’s still usable today after 14 years, gives me hope that I can keep my t430 running until a similarly good device appears on the market

Jumuta,

desktop edit mode is so fun though

Jumuta,

I just went through and tried out a lot of stuff in VMs and live USBs, and switched to an actual install when I got confident enough/was tired of USB boot speeds

maybe it’s just me but I find just doing things myself much more fun and useful than reading guides

i just started out with whatever distro looked the best in promotional pics, which was kde neon in my case (kde neon <3)

imo it’s more important to go with the interesting option (things like kde neon) than the easy option like Mint, at least it’s what gave me the motivation to try things out and learn Linux

Jumuta,

weird how it doesn’t warn you for rm -rf /* though

Jumuta,

Free and open source brain: referring to the platform as Nitter

Jumuta,

nitter.poast.org still works

the only way to get it to work now iirc is to have it puppet actual accounts rather than guest accounts so it’s a bit harder to do, but privacydevel made a fork that can do that

Jumuta,

I’m like 99% sure this is Apple’s deliberate decision to make it so companies with confidential data throw out their computers rather than recycling them

What is the best model of used ThinkPad to purchase?

I’m thinking of picking up a used ThinkPad on eBay for cheap to serve as my daily driver. I’ll likely run LMDE, and primarily use it for web browsing, office programs, coding, and FreeCAD. Any recommendations on which model would best hit the sweet spot of capability vs price?

Jumuta,

t430 runs great for me but if you need more (stock) performance maybe the t480?

Jumuta,

oooh w series are cool

Jumuta,

if you’re changing all your passwords and switching to Linux anyway consider using a free software local password manager like KeepassXC, I use it along with syncthing and it’s great

Jumuta,

pretty sure organic is working on that, I remember there being docs on building with PT data.

Jumuta, (edited )

Mr president! A second whistleblower has hit the tower!

Jumuta,

that’s a really interesting system

i found a paper that has a lot of information about it if you’re interested
