  • Maybe it's not that much of a matter of the common better (somebody elected Trump, after all) but a matter of personal integrity. Not everybody is willing to do anything, after all.

  • Effectively, you can eat everything a cat eats. It might not exactly be haute cuisine but there's nothing an omnivore couldn't digest but a carnivore could. Cats are much more selective with their diet than humans - and for good reasons.

  • It's not domestic terrorism. The correct term is reign of terror.

  • Serves you right, Amazon victims. I hope your lords and masters at Amazon will spray you orange and force you eat lukewarm oysters in public by the dozen for only $999/month. And you'll be grateful, because you love to be fleeced. Also, it's basically a bargain and your neighbours don't have it!

  • Ganz meine Meinung. Merz ist der beste amerikanische Bundeskanzler aller Zeiten.

  • Maybe it is now. The one,. I saw not that long ago was a single piece.

  • It's a single installation, AFAIK - and definitely an art project. Having some academic arts background, I dare to say the focus of the installation is the difference between "in the middle" and "aside". So it's highly symbolic. Practically two chairs with a reasonable gap inbetween would be far more practical but they, of course, don't transmit any message.

  • This is real. It's located in Giulianova Lido, Italy. IIRC an arts project from a local school and it is meant as a way to "integrate" wheelchairs symbolically as well as practically.

  • Latex gloves and mineral oil do not mix well.

  • Dass Baugerüste verhüllt werden hat erstmal nichts mit Werbung zu tun, sondern mit Staub. Trotzdem wäre es ok, Werbung auf den Schutzplanen zu verbieten, weil diese einen starken Anreiz liefern, länger zu verhüllen, als notwendig, was eventuellen Mietern das Licht nimmt. Hier wäre eine differenziertere Gesetzgebung bzw. Betrachtung angebracht. Zum Beispiel könnte man Werbiung auf Gerüstschutzfolien schon erlauben, aber sofern das Gebäude bewohnt ist, werden die Einnahmen für den AUsgleich der Beeinträchtigung der Wohnqualität an die Mieter weitergegeben. Dann wäre schnell Schluss mit der Trödelei und es wäre Sache der Bewohner, die Fassade ggfs. "unterzuvermieten".

  • The reality is by far not so simple but just as ugly.

  • It certainly isn't on the second PCB. That's the power supply and I'd definitely keep my hands off that. YOur best chance is to look for an IC with "555" in its' type number. That's the most commonly used timer chip. Search the net for a data sheet for the specific type and find the right pin to ground. It should be the one to start the timer; depending on the way the timeout is implemented it might also be the "set" pin.

  • I know. I just had become lazy enough to take the daily notification's subject line ("backup4l has run successfully") as evidence that everything was OK. If I had looked inside the bloody mail I'd have notices that the backup's size was 0B all the time because my self-rolled XZ-compression script failed to add data to the archives it "successfully" created. That's what I meant with "re-testing" - I should better have written "re-validate". My unforgiveable fault was not to look directly at the generated archives after changing the compression from bz2 to xz. Which was pretty pointless anyway as it turned out.

  • ...and don't forget re-testing your backups regularily. I had a really good backup strategy on my Loonix machine. Automatic (or it won't be done), tested, fool proof. When I somehow crashed a somewhat complex encrypted LVM array while swapping HDDs against SSDs, I had to recover from backup. Unfortunately I had become a better fool than I was when I set up backup4l. I had changed the compression algo, made a tiny mistate in the config and failed to realize that for six months I had been storing empty backups every day. Outch.

  • Years ago I tried to use the WIndows backup app to back up my system disk to a tape streamer. (Magnetic tapes were and still are useful as long term backup.) Result was a backup you coulndn't recover. I don't know what exactly was on the tape but it couldn't be read back. Tried the same with a harddisk, same result. I've since then used various external backup tools that had no problem creating backups that you actually can recover from, never looked back at MS backup. You just can't trust Microsoft to store any important data. You can only be sure they'll fuck up sooner or later and take things in you own hands.

  • Kollektivstrafe nach einer Einzeltat von ein par Verrückten. Das kennt man aus Diktaturen. Wenn's nicht Dobrindt wäre, dann wäre es ziemlich beunruhigend.

  • I don't recall the equations -it was years ago that I've read about it- but IIRC it sets free NO-, so it's not carbon but nitrogen that is to blame. I am quite sure you'll find something about diver's disease with the correct chemistry at Wikipedia if you're interested in the details.

  • That would be the end of NATO. Which means it's the US on one side an the rest of the world on the other. Except Israel, of course.

  • Just in case: VAPING, SMOKING OR BASING AMPHETAMINE IS LIKELY TO KILL YOU!
    Despite the ideas of some "experts" speed is not the same as meth and heating and inhaling speed will at best give you the bends.
