Armenia and Azerbaijan move closer to peace, pushing Russia out from the South Caucasus
  • So very heartwarming the ethnic cleansing has been for Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Western hegemonic powers happily letting it go on to keep Azeri oil flowing cheaply.

    Yes, it's a relief that the war is ending, but do not construe this as some fairy-tale ending.

    Get ready to lose again, assholes.
  • It is kind of a weird take when Russia has captured quite a bit of land. Sure, it's costing them a lot (you might even say in inordinate sum), but characterizing them as losing is a hard sell.

  • no smoking rule
  • I'm an ex-smoker, but I'm able to have a couple every month or two without going back full blown. One thing I have noticed is how smoking spikes your heart rate. I can look at my Fitbit data and see exactly where I smoked.

    I'd heard about weight gain from quitting, which I have experienced, but I always thought it was attributed to increased appetite and not linked to cardiac activity. The stress on your heart is not just cumulative, it is acutely affective every time you light up.

  • Why don't most distros support listing packages and system settings in text file(s)?
  • Package metadata isn't stored in text files because there's an amazing technology called the database.

    All you have to do is learn how to use your package manager. Spend time reading the man pages and learn the options, and you can query everything you need.

  • North Carolina parents are charged with involuntary manslaughter after their son, 7, is killed a car accident while walking home, driver that murdered a child gets no charges
  • That's not the point, pixeldick

    Cars have always been fucking death machines since their adoption, killing pedestrians at especially high rates. Since their introduction, this has always pissed people off with any real common sense.

    We give up our streets entirely to them, put up with infrastructure increasingly hostile towards foot and cycle travel, scarcely enforce traffic laws, and treat driving like it's a constitutional right.

    We are long overdue for reworking our approach to transportation. Instead we're stuck with incompetent lawmakers who are corrupted by industry bribes, and propped up by dipshits like you with your heads jammed up your asses.

  • Arch user looks for ease of mind
  • Well, updating can cause problems whenever you do it.

    Technically, you should check the news feed for breaking changes whenever you update your system. Usually, the worst that happens is pacman just barfs. Then you can figure out why and apply any fixes.

  • Arch user looks for ease of mind
  • Upgrading an Arch install months or even years out of date is not that big of a deal. That's one of the benefits of a rolling release platform.

    Once after a move, an old desktop sat in a box for at least two years and I had it updated in a hour or so. Yes, you have to review the archlinux.org news feed for breaking changes, but if you follow any steps that pertain to your packages it'll work fine.

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?
  • Neverball.

    So gaming on Linux is obviously amazing now, but back in 2006 or so when I started using it, it was less than great. I probably tried every single game in the Ubuntu repos and Neverball entertained the hell out of me.

    I spent hours rolling this shiny ball around. I loved Marble Madness on NES as a kid, so it was a natural fit.

    A close second was Freeciv, as I had also grown up with a copy of Civilization.

    Honorable mentions to Nesticle and Snes9x.

    Hexenbrett - Erste Beschwörung

    German weirdo metal... maybe occult metal? I don't care, it rules. Raw and very much doing their own thing, which is rare and exciting. They released a new album in December, but this is the earliest one on Bandcamp.

    Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?

    I'm admittedly yelling at cloud a bit here, but I like package managers just fine. I don't want to have to have a plurality of software management tools. However, I also don't want to be caught off guard in the future if applications I rely on begin releasing exclusively with flatpak.

    I don't develop distributed applications, but Im not understanding how it simplifies dependency management. Isn't it just shifting the work into the app bundle? Stuff still has to be updated or replaced all the time, right?

    Don't maintainers have to release new bundles if they contain dependencies with vulnerabilities?

    Is it because developers are often using dependencies that are ahead of release versions?

    Also, how is it so much better than images for your applications on Docker Hub?

    Never say never, I guess, but nothing about flatpak really appeals to my instincts. I really just want to know if it's something I should adopt, or if I can continue to blissfully ignore.

    I drive long distances for my job, so my self-driving Cybertruck helps reduce my exhaustion. But angry people project their hatred of Elon Musk on me.

    Monk can't dash through cave spinner web

    ... And that grinds my gears, a bit

    It must be considered solid terrain and not a hazard. I assume that this is treated like a physical feat, rather than a supernatural one, so the monk would get stuck in the web trying the dash through. The animation, however, uses the same as levitation, and you can levitate over the webs when levitating from a potion.

    I interpret use of this animation of the monk "flying" as acrobatic flips and maneuvering to avoid traps or stuff on the floor. So is the web stretching from floor to ceiling? If so, why can you levitate through it? Seems inconsistent.

    Dell Boss N1 questions

    I've recently picked up an Intel P4000 and I'm purchasing some parts to set it up. Since it's an older platform, I get that there are some limitations on what I can use, so I'm worried about buying things that aren't compatible.

    I'm interested in installing a Dell Boss N1 Monolithic to run Proxmox in RAID1, but have some concerns:

    • Will it even work with my system board? Maybe my search skills suck, but I can't glean from the Internet how tightly controlled Server hardware ecosystems are. Would my mb even recognize a component like this, or the drives installed on it?

    • What drives work with it? According to the user manual, there are only three supported drives, and they have to be 480gb or 960gb in size. Had anyone tested using different NVMe M.2 drives?

    Is it ok to create a personal community?

    It would be my own personal link aggregation space that's not just my profile. I am one of those neckbearded Reddit refugees who sometimes doesn't play well with others. Am I just being removed?

    Confronted by increasing social dislocation and an escalating cost-of-living crisis, these artists are turning to the arcane mysteries of yesteryear to alleviate modern malaise.

    Pagan Fires Burning: The New Wave of Dark Folk from the UK and Ireland

    Cool Bandcamp article about the weirdo folk scene happening in Ireland and the UK these days. I got turned on to stuff like The Incredible String Band, Third Ear Band, and Gryphon in my 20s, so this has been great to see. Odd that they didn't mention Broadside Hacks or Junior Brother, but it's still rad.
