A large amount of visual inspections on the inside of nuclear reactors is done literally with a camera duct taped to either a really really long pole assembled in sections or a rope. Operators "swim" the cameras to various locations and camera handling is basically an occupation in that field. You also need camera shots for any work being done on the inside of the flooded reactor with, again, really really long poles that end up acting more like pool noodles at such a length. It is silly and difficult work. Also you basically are wearing a trash bag sitting above a hot tub while doing this work. So it is a wild experience.

Can't predict the future, but I can see the past. Specifically the part of the past that used standards based implementations and boring technology. Love that I can pull up html with elements using ALL CAPs and table aligned content. It looks like a hot mess but it still works, even on mobile. Plain text keeps trucking along. Sqlite will outlive me. Exciting things are exciting but the world is made of boring.

Kokoro is absolutely incredible for how small it is. It can run on CPU fairly quickly and the results are so consistent. I'm even working on an absolute wacky idea to use a genetic algorithm for voice cloning because the tensors it uses for voice style are just so small. It's an awesome application.

Every time I stray from Mint I am reminded why I go back to it.

This vexes me

Well crap

It has to do with muxing for the dGPU. I have bashed my head against this what seems like endlessly. My suggestion is that you should enable only dedicated gpu mode in your bios. That has worked for me. It kind of sucks because you feel like you are leaving performance on the table, but I have found nothing that works properly on any DE in any configuration.

At the end of the day it is basically a hardware issue, and for your specific hardware it will not work. I'm my limited opinion.

I have a zellij snd micro config for journaling and writing that makes a completely borderless full screen terminal with no decoration whatsoever and narrows the terminal for micro to the upper half of the middle 1/3 of my screen.

It helps me focus and limiting to the upper half and middle 1/3 makes it easier for my eyes. I get distracted easily and this helps keep my editor from being the source of that.

Chronic distro hopper here. It brings some interesting defaults and is probably easier to get gaming on than default Arch. Lots of stuff that is above my head for performance optimizing, but in all honesty it's not THAT incredibly different than default Arch, or even default mint. At least on my hardware which is a 3070 Nvidia 12th gen Intel laptop. It does make an impact, but your mileage may vary.

You know how some people really like cars and spend endless time on the garage tweaking and tuning things? Cachy feels like the distro version of that for Linux. If you are an enthusiast then it is great, but you had better be prepared to figure out what esoteric thing broke and why your "car" now no longer works.

Mint is driving a car, Arch/Cachy is being a car enthusiast. Both will get you places, but one is probably going to get you to the grocery store more reliably.

I've done dozens of distros and Linux mint is the most familiar, unexciting, and stable one I have found. Ignore the hate. Real Linux fans don't care how you participate in open source, other than being toxic. Consequently, do whatever you want and install whatever seems like it would be something you'd want to use.

Id highly suggest having a separate hard drive for Linux as it can be easy to break dual boot if you don't know what you are doing. Last thing you want to do is panic and decide you need to reinstall Windows.

I have distro hopped my dang brains out with everything under the sun. I'm back to Mint. It works without being an absolute pain and is boring as watching paint dry, which is the point of an OS. I just use it to compute, work, code, and game. it boots and updates eventually.

I ended up installing docker. Didn't want to make a bunch of systemd files. It automatically updates each day and has required almost no maintenance at all. It's a little strange, but can work great.

I continue to have a hard time with it. I desperately want to like it but feel like it doesn't handle laptop Nvidia right. I keep getting boot to black screen on KDE and have to rfkill unblock on install and just a host of issues I can't seem to ever nail down. Might have to try again since switcherooctl, but there are some rough edges for me.

Love MicroOS for server though. Rock solid.

Depends if who you work for. If you work for bad management prepare for some goon to tell you what you should be doing, be wrong about what they tell you, not know what they want, and to demand it sooner than you tell them it will take. They will then change their mind and still expect it to take less time. They will be constantly frustrated with you and you will hate it.

Good management will find work with clear value to customers and you will feel valued and be given *mostly adequate time to do your work. You will put in your hours and be paid. You'll still be jerked around by typical corporate politics, but it's everywhere so buckle up. Better than ditch digging unless that's what you want.

CachyOs I think I have a lot of the state of the state to get the question I guess I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what to do with it but I don't think it will be a good idea how much does it cost to get it on the way home gym is it too late to get it on the way home from the web site and it is a good idea to get it.

My take is that they vote for him because he is angry. These young men are largely angry and have had media of all sorts telling them that they should be. They don't want someone telling them how they will boost the middle class and have equitable tax. They want someone who says they will burn every problem to the ground and break things. They want someone screaming at someone to blame.

Why we have a huge chunk of young men desperatly angry is a choose your own adventure of societal issues where we have provided almost no healthy outlet for healthy aggression or the physicality that comes with being a young man. Everyone is free to come up with their own reasons, but for me it is the lack of outlet or the feeling of societial participation for young men.

Whatever the reason, a culture who sweeps the problems of frustrated young men under the rug for long enough I feel will live to regret it.

It defaults to BTRFS with more recent releases

I can't think of other art forms that blow off the hands of so many people, wake up my daughter in terror at 11PM, and make both dogs and veterans suffer for an extended period of time. I'm fine with the large group spectacle that is planned and controlled. What I can't stand is the widespread uncontrollable nonsense of just anyone buying them and setting them off at any hour on the 4th. Law enforcement can do absolutely nothing about it. I'm just gonna have to deal with it. I'm just surprised we haven't collectively shifted to something less harmful.

Reactor is full of water so it's not an issue
