rm -rf ${var}/ is a disaster waiting to happen.

Always do rm -rf “${var:?}/” so that the script aborts if the variable is empty. Or better yet rm -rf “./${var:?}/”.

Edited to add quotes. Always quote a path: it might have spaces in it, without quotes that will become multiple paths! Which would also have avoided the particular bug in question.

He’s only worried about looking like a loser.

deadbeef79000,

Most people don’t know that an appeal to a higher court is an exercise in “did the lower court follow procedure” rather than I want to re-litigate the case.

Canada stops arms shipments to Israel (www.lemonde.fr)

Israel has historically been a top receiver of Canadian arms exports, with CAN$21 million worth of military materiel exported to Israel in 2022, according to Radio Canada, following CAN$26 million in shipments in 2021. That places Israel among the top 10 recipients of Canadian arms exports.

deadbeef79000,

I’d say “to hell” but there’s a whole religious canon thing in there somewhere.

deadbeef79000,

Because that does not feed the military industrial complex.

Tooling up is cheaper for employers in $CONGRESSIONAL_DISTRICT.

Building up domestic manufacturing takes years of capital investment with no quarterly KPI RoI.

Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged! (gitlab.freedesktop.org)

Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....

deadbeef79000,

Rather, I bought from the vendor who contributed their GPU drivers to the Linux Kernel. It just so happened that’s AMD.

NVIDIA sycophants hate that one weird trick.

deadbeef79000,

They just need to gate-keep harder. It’ll work next time.

Imagine being that invested in a corporate brand.

deadbeef79000,

Lol, down votes from chumps who can’t tell the difference between NVIDIA’s excellent hardware and Nvidia’s shitty business practice.

deadbeef79000,

And don’t have a federal sense of humour.

deadbeef79000,

They’ll just let the CIA sort it out given that you’re in a different sovereign nation. Probably an allied nation at that.

deadbeef79000,

I use them for additional network adaptors in one host.

In another I use them for NVMe adaptors for an ancient MB that predates the existence of the m.2 interface.

deadbeef79000,

It’s cheaper to install malware.

That’s all there is to it: cost.

deadbeef79000,

The only surprise is that he hasn’t won by 187%.

deadbeef79000,

Gender fluid!

Because they’re drawn that way.

deadbeef79000,

It’s (apparently) OK when christian/white/western/whatever/our people do it to infant boys.

deadbeef79000,

My hypothesis is that almost all men are incapable of acknowledging there might be something wrong with their dick… and react quite poorly when it’s suggested.

deadbeef79000,

That’s the GM in FGM.

IMHO abbreviating it is minimising it though.

deadbeef79000,

“27 times faster” is oddly specific.

deadbeef79000,

I was struggling for the (wrong?) right word and couldn’t find one.

“Involuntarily modified”?

deadbeef79000,

It is. This time last week I was inundated with righteous outrage at using “mutilated”, I was hoping to stave off that this week.

deadbeef79000,

X* predates almost everything still in common use.

Which is, frankly, amazing.

It’s also why Wayland took (is taking) so long. It has to compete against X11 with decades of development.

That’s a tall order.

deadbeef79000,

Now I’m curious how that list looks if one counts extra-judicial executions. I.e. when the police kill someone.

From what news I get, total gut feeling here, there’s gotta be way more than 30 deaths from police action per year in the US, but I’ve no idea what the equivalent rates would be in those other countries.

deadbeef79000,

I’m inclined to assume that it’s just not reported on in SA etc.

But 40:1 ouch.

deadbeef79000,

Not the onion!

deadbeef79000,

The invasions will continue until internet improves!

deadbeef79000,

All your canned/preserved produce are the not-big/pretty-enough produce.

So, they are the too small ones that still look nice.

The ugly ones are chopped/sliced/puréed etc.

deadbeef79000,

Yeah, it’s actually a good thing too!

When harvesting a field of, say beets, They’re all harvested when most of them are the right size.

Some are too big and ugly, some are too small, most are just right.

“Binning” them for different purposes maximises the utility of the whole harvest.

deadbeef79000,

I do this, except with Ubuntu and a btrfs volume for root.

My motherboard supports UEFI, so it doesn’t care where the EFI partition is. It’s on a USB stick.

The way I did it was by installing to a SATA SSD and then moving the EFI partition to the usb stick and then substituting the SATA SSD with the NVMe SSD using btrfs.

I think I also needed to use reEFInd temporarily to give me an UEFI shell to do some debugging.

Oh! I also setup systemd-boot so I could trivially boot the kernel directly from UEFI, stored on the EFI partition and avoided grub altogether.

Trying to prevent fires in Shoshone.

deadbeef79000,

Now all I can think of is Patrick Warburton doing this voice over in the films.

Perfect.

Does hosting the Olympics, the World Cup or other major sports events really pay off? (phys.org)

After a long battle, Paris’s beloved bouquinistes will be staying put this summer. The decision, announced on 13 February by the French government, came after considerable public backlash to the police prefecture’s original plan to move part of the iconic Seine booksellers elsewhere for the inauguration of the Olympics Games...

deadbeef79000,

Not really a surprise, but good to see some actual research.

Countries/Cities duped into building publicly owned infrastructure for circuses do not benefit.

Surge tourism can only have positive RoI if the tourists are grossly exploited during the surge.

deadbeef79000,

Seems like they’ve “over hired” in marketing.

deadbeef79000,

I’m sorry,I can’t hear over the sound of some religious hysteria.

deadbeef79000,

Well let you know, NZ’s new conservative government has just done this same thing.

Unintended consequences? Boost to low end mobile phone sales: kids will buy a shitty phone to surrender at the start of the school day.

deadbeef79000,

We’re already post scarcity, we’re just stuck on artificial scarcity for profit.

Giant spaceship dwelling benevolent machine overlords? Tricky.

deadbeef79000,

Other Pacific islands: seething jealousy they didn’t think of that first.

deadbeef79000,

It is.

Cook was an explorer and worthy of respect. It’s not like it’s a casual jaunt to the other side of the world, it was an arduous task and a remarkable feat.

Unfortunately Cook’s arrival heralded that age’s colonialism, itself a mixed blessing.

It’s only now, with the wealth of the world’s history at our fingertips and an objective view of the past up to the present that lets us judge the effects of past events.

deadbeef79000,

Allman all the way.

deadbeef79000,

That’s one of my all time favourite South park episodes.

Getting the local Chinese restauranteur to build the city wall… because the Chinese are good at building walls.

deadbeef79000,

“Goddamn Mongorians! Knock down my shitty wall!”

deadbeef79000,

It was the fashion at the time.

deadbeef79000,

Why add back problems caused by the physical limitations of optical cameras FFS?

Lens flare? We’ll just digitally add it back in.

Chromatic aberration? Add it to make it look like you’re looking though a cheap lens.

Vignette, check.

Urgh. I’m supposed to be there literally in the game, experiencing things through my own eyes.

My eyes are not cameras. Well they are but not like that.

deadbeef79000,

Oh, I get that aspect. It’s just an objectively better experience without the artifacts of the technical limitls of a physical camera and lens.

It’s as if it’s driven by an idiot that thinks if it looks like there are lens flares, abberation, vignette, etc. that it was look cinematographic, completely ignoring the actual art of composition, framing, lighting, depth of field, etc… the actual arts of cinematography.

Though, given that I’m the one controlling the vital camera with my mouse or controller, apparently it should suck as much as a real camera.

deadbeef79000,

I’m still using my eyes!

deadbeef79000,

I used objectively literally.

Avoiding flares, aberration etc makes an image objectively better. You might subjectively prefer either the objectively better or objectively worse image.

deadbeef79000,

You’re still using your eyeballs!

deadbeef79000,

I’m sorry you’re being a pedantic ass too.

deadbeef79000,

It’ll get slightly more sinister from Microsoft’s evil influence, but less incompetently douche baggy from losing some of the loot boxing CxO’s.

Ah, crap, same thing.
