Yeah. I've (unfortunately) been in the US for the last few years. I'm at an university though, so most of my American peers come from a fairy rich (and mostly white) background. None of them have ever been arrested.
I've installed Arch manually exactly once. (Just for the bragging rights, lol)
My go to way is just installing EndeavourOS. It's basically Arch, but with a nicer installer and reasonable defaults.
Sorry if it came out wrong, I meant the instance I use. I don't run it.
My instance, for the most part, doesn't ban anyone.
I think they're talking about the unencrypted footage uploaded by Eufy (a subsidiary of Anker) security cameras to their own servers without express permission of the owners.
That's what happens when you elect stupid and greedy people to power. This nation treats greed like a virtue, it's fucking crazy.
Yeah, from what I see, professors get their salary i.e. the money for living expenses from their teaching job. But most of the research money comes from grants. Those are usually earmarked so that they can only spend it for very specific purposes.
Edit: This is only true for people who need to run labs. For subjects like math or philosophy, professors depend less on grants since most of their work is done without significant expenses. But they still do need grants for travel and organizing conferences.
Intolerance is not to be tolerated.
KDE’s Discover pretty much does what you want in terms of being an all-in-one GUI package manager. If you're comfortable with the terminal, topgrade can upgrade pretty much everything and offers great flexibility is terms of configuration.
Also, a good rule of thumb is that, if you want GUI programs that show up in “start menu”, search specifically for GUI programs. In this case, that would be something like Peazip. In KDE, the file manager Dolphin can extract stuff for you using Ark, which is installed by default.
I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect CLI programs to appear in the “start menu” because they are usually intended to be launched from the terminal.
These fuckers have done a lot of disservice to feminism. Feminism is supposed to be about equality, not hating men. The only thing that comes from behaving like these is that these men start hating women. No one is benefitting from it, except for maybe the sexist scumbags.
I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.
Vibe coding is to coding what microwaving is to cooking.
Hate to victim blame, but what a moron. Microsoft is definitely at fault here, but so is this guy.
He "moved" the data to OneDrive. Why the fuck would anyone do that? He wants to migrate to a new larger drive, but why did he feel the need to delete stuff before verifying that his data has safely been migrated to the new drive? A single drive to store anything important is very dangerous in itself, but this is a different level of stupidity.
I had few TB migration at the start of this year. I vehemently follow the 3-2-1 rule for anything important. (I actually do more copies than that for personal photos and documents.) But I still have the old disks just in case. I can't fathom doing something like this. Maybe I'm overreacting, but ffs it's stupid.
Anyone who thinks trump won't fuck them in an instant is a moron. Especially if they're brown.
All but one of the 242 people on board the London-bound flight died when it crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad shortly after take-off.
Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it's waaaay exaggerated in movies. I'm a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.
I'm trying to pull manual shots from my Breville Bambino, and it simply isn't working. I'm following the steps in the manual. (Press and hold the double-shot button for pre-infusion, then release it for the extraction to start, and then press again to stop.) The issue is, the machine stops midway, before I press the button. Seems like it's doing the pre-programmed double shot volume, and stopping after that. Does anyone has experience pulling manual shots from this machine? Should I contact Breville for a repair?
Edit: It fixed itself after performing a factory reset.
I currently have a zfs pool with mirrored vdevs, and it's working well. It only has HDDs. I was planning to add an SSD I have lying around as a Metadata Special Device, since I've read that it can improve performance by quite a bit. I've also read that if I do that, and if the special device dies, I lose my pool.
Now, I don't want to buy new SSD pairs for mirroring this one, so is there a way to ensure that the metadata is also stored on the HDD as usual, along with the SSD? I guess I want it to work like a cache for the metadata, and not the only place for it.
I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might've just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they'd have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.
In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there's any point in keeping this list.

Floods in Tripura have killed 10 people and forced over 34,100 to seek shelter in relief camps. Incessant rains since Monday led Chief Minister Manik Saha to request more National Disaster Response Force personnel.

Bangladesh is suffering a nationwide internet shutdown as students armed with sticks and hurling stones clash with police in protests against the government that reports said have left at least 39 people dead.
Media reports from Bangladesh say 19 more people have died in clashes between police and student protesters attempting to impose a “complete shutdown” of the country, following days of violent confrontations during demonstrations over a system of allocating government jobs

I want to get a new VPS. It'll mostly be used to host lightweight Docker images, and reverse proxying through Caddy. So, decent CPU and fast network speeds are the main things I need.
I have a cheap VPS with RackNerd. It's fine, but only has a single CPU core, which gets overwhelmed if multiple connections are trying to pull stuff from some service. So, I guess having multiple cores is a requirement as well.
I want to spend around $5/month, but willing to go a little higher if it's worth it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
P.S. I'm based in US and would prefer something in here for lower latency.
Update: Hetzner's CX22 IPV6 only plan seems to be very good in terms of price-performance ratio. But the servers are in Europe. I'm planning to try it out for a while and see how the latency is. It's great that they don't lock you in with yearly plans.
I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.
Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.
My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.
I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.
My goal is to automatically close the environment while editing a tex file. There was an issue for vimtex asking for basically what I want to achieve. They achieve it using snippets as mentioned there.
The problem is, I have no idea how to set it up. I've never used snippets in nvim. I have vim-vsnip and cmp-vsnip installed as it was needed for another plugin to work. Is it possible to implement this using those?
It can be noted that in vimtex, an environment can be closed by typing ]] which is a mapping of vimtex-delim-close. I basically want to emulate the behavior in VS Code using LaTeX Workshop. It auto-closes the environment, adds an indented line in the middle, and moves the cursor there.
If anyone has any other ideas about doing this without snippets, that's welcome too.
This post is mostly for me to look at alternatives. I currently subscribe to Trade. But recently I've been hearing about their bad practices like sending packages with wrong weight, or paying very little money to the roasters.
If you like your current subscription, please place a link so that others can check it out. If you don't, and want to switch, tell why so that I can avoid it too.
