Now The EU Council Should Finally Understand: No One Wants “Chat Control”
  • They will still try again.

    Btw, remember the selector-skandal, where the selectors for which type of conversation the NSA can listen in on RIPE (europes biggest internet exchange point) were waay too broad. They still do that, the illegal act was made legal by Germany later on.

  • What can i take to drink less caffeine?
  • Barley coffee. Coffeine has no additional effect if you're already on it, except making you feel down (withdrawal symptoms) if you've got none.

    Btw, coffee: https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/paper-filtered-coffee-and-cholesterol/

    For ADHD medication, better ask a professional. Aside from Ritalin, there's others like Concerta too.

  • Do animals have emotions like us?
  • It doesn't help that we have great difficulty defining what emotion means.

    There was this thing about fishing with hooks. Apparently it's ok, since fishes don't have the facilities to process pain as anything different than a robot would interpret sensory input.

  • Do animals have emotions like us?
  • Their neurons are bigger tho. The odd case are bird brains, they work a bit different than mammalian but are as smart as ravens in a small package, while human neurons are as small as physically can be.

  • How to reliably(!) exclude files from a list in tar?

    This is bothering me for years now, my backup script always takes everything with it, taking forever to finish.

    I initially used the --exclude option, but this is rather restrictive, cluttered the script and still had the excluded directories. Then i discovered -X/--exclude-from but same result here, weird globbing and still fails. So i hacked a negative list via fd's --ignore-file and tar -T/--files-from together. But tar still includes files and directories not on the fucking files.tmp.

    So i'm not sure if it is a bug in Arch's GNU tar or if it's maybe a parameter in the wrong position, tar can be removed there. This is my current code ```

    tar -cf - -X "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/backup/ignore "$INPUT" -P

    fd . -Hi --ignore-file "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/backup/ignore "${INPUT}" > "$_tmpfile" tar -cf - --verbatim-files-from --files-from="$_tmpfile" -P \ |pv -tapes "$_fssize" \ |compress >"${OUTPUT}.$_ext" ``` INPUT is $HOME in this case.

    And if anyone has a solution that works on busybox tar as well...

    [solved] mounting system partition to /mnt has /mnt/@/etc

    While updating my system the graphical session crashed and after reboot the kernel was missing (reminder that you should update on tty). Trying to fix that from a live-system, mounting system nvme partition to mnt, there's now /mnt/@ @cache @log, while your usual root folders are in @, log fikes @log and so on. Filesystem is btrfs, no subvolumes, if that matters.

    So why is this? And can i just mount boot to /mnt/@/boot? Do break something, if i move /mnt/@ content to /mnt?

    Steamworkshop dl function

    Thought i share it, since it came in handy lots as a GoG enjoyer.

    steamworkshop_dl() { steamcmd +login anonymous +workshop_download_item "$1" "$2" validate +quit mv -v "<path to your temp Steam folder>/steamapps/workshop/content/"$1"/"$2" "$PWD"/"$3" }

    Purpose: downloading Steam Workshop mod to $PWD with minimal work.

    Usage: steamworkshop_dl [game-id] [mod-id] [name]

    game-id is in the URL of the main workshop page, mod-id is in the URL of the mod

    To make usage simpler, create an alias with the game-id:

    alias stdl='steamworkshop_dl <game-id>' stdl <mod-id> 'that mod'

    Needs steamcmd. If download fails, try username and password instead of 'anonymous'.

    About MGRLU of oomkiller

    I have this in my /etc/sysctl.d/99-oomkiller.conf

    ```

    "Iron Reserve" that can not be consumed by rogue tasks

    vm.admin_reserve_kbytes = 1024000

    0 = extensive heuristic scan of joblist (system doesn't have the power for that, when oomkiller is needed). Can shoot the wrong task

    1 or more = kills the first task with condition "out of memory"

    vm.oom_kill_allocating_task = 1 ```

    Yet somehow i still got in a livelock. So i remembered nohang and found in it's readme about mgrlu. I found some documentation to it but it only provides runtime examples (already enabled but set to 0 on Artix, /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms should be 1000).

    How should i set this permanently, sysctl doesn't accept min_ttl_ms. Via kernel, via local.d script (non-systemd, dinit)?

    Why doesn't my config above work?

    Any recommendation to runtime-services? (earlyoom for my server i guess)

    You might think all the facial hair you’re seeing on the street is a way of attracting a mate. It might not be so simple.
