Should I use a rolling distro?
  • Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?

    I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.

    Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I've found.

    If you're not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.

    If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there's a bad one. That's how my arch laptop is set up.

    Personally wouldn't use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there's something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.

  • Handy temperature conversion scale.
  • I do actually wish I could have a decimal place on my truck thermostat. 20 is always too cold and 21 too hot in the winter. And if I change it to F for the increased resolution it'll change my speedo to miles and shit. Damn future.

  • Are EVs in cold countries still more energy-efficient than gasoline in the winter?
  • Yeah I don't know a ton about EV's because I need to be able to drive 500km+ on a tank for work and life out here. Be kinda cool to have one as a work truck someday though be handy to have that much power available for running things.

  • Are EVs in cold countries still more energy-efficient than gasoline in the winter?
  • Gasoline works better in cold climates than diesel. But once you get around -20 to -30°C and colder all vehicles will need an engine block heater to start reliably. The oil gets too thick.

    And the batteries start to freeze if they have a slight drain. So lots of the time if you don't run your vehicle for a week or two you'll need a new battery because the lead acids freeze and are ruined when their voltage drops.

    I think it will be tricky but not impossible to mitigate the effects of extreme cold on battery life. All the cabin heat is made by the EV battery anyways right?

  • Is this man a magnet for accidents at sea?
  • I mean I doubt it. But if you're in the ocean you probably have more of an incentive to keep that going since it could be your ass pretty easily.

    But I imagine big enough vessels are tracked by coast guards in lots of areas.

  • So apparently they changed the law in Canada in 2012 and now for noncommercial sharing you could be held liable for up to 5000$ for all works not per work. Commercial is per work. So I doubt anyone has been got for non-commerical. But I do know they come done hard on commercial sharing.

  • Help finding right moisturizer
  • O'keefes working hands are what I use. Doesn't leave me all greasy, doesn't have and smell I can notice and definitely helps with dry skin. I just use it on my whole body.

    Edit thought I was on an ADHD sub and not skincare but I still think its worth a go. Also get the stuff in a tub they have some in squeeze tubes but its not as good.

  • Don't condescend to me. I understand the link between government and capital and am not an american.

    What are you even proposing anyways? I am against government oppression and copyright law in general. All private property is theft from the commons. But in the meantime I will use a VPN because I trust Mullvad in Sweden more than I trust my own ISPs.

    If I was committing crimes that were more serious then I would not use a VPN I would use a more robust security model.

    My ISP is not powerless without government. They have massive power, they control 1/3rd of all cellular and internet communications. And like I said also control large amounts of satellite TV and cable broadcasting.

  • Well there are only three isps here and yes I understand what you are saying but. It never gets as far as government force it doesn't have too. The ISP will drop me.

    Also the ISP is the media company lots of the time, and its only a crime that will go to court and win if I made money distributing copyrighted material.

    I don't want my ISP to know much about what I'm doing either. They aren't trustworthy, they often get caught illegally shaping traffic and such too.

  • I use a VPN to stop work camps I stay at from knowing what porn I watch, to stop media companies from sending me copyright infringement notifications, and to stop public wifis from having as much info on me.

    Its all about threat model. If you're concerned with government actors then you need to be more secure than just a VPN.

    My countries intelligence agency is not working with media companies like that. The cops and courts would eventually enforce some order against me if it ever went to court but more likely is my ISP just ditches me as a customer if I get too many strikes.

  • What's an IT profession that is realistically possible to self-study for and become proficient enough in to get employed within a year?
  • Theres also serious though niche demand for people with trades knowledge and IT skills too. Plus knowing how to automate all your reports is always helpful.

    Things to consider if you have that IT kinda mind and don't mind playing in the mud. Instrumentation and Controls Technician, always need someone who can mess with comms and networking bullshit. And im some places can get into automation programming, called mechatronics sometimes? HVAC/building automation technician. Industrial electrician focussing on trying to get into commissioning and PLC programming/automation.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants
  • You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren't a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.

  • if it's fun it's illegal
  • It isn't mostly used by minorities it is mostly used to target minorities. Though people in poorer conditions tend to have worse trouble with addiction due to lack of safety nets and people who are on the streets more are going to get busted more. Like no one is going to bust me if my buddy brings over an 8ball of coke and we snort it all up in the basement.

    And I remember the quote its from Nixon's aid. But I remember trying to verify it once and not finding anything conclusive.

    I remember my eritrean friend telling me the cops here used to to stop his car and do body searches on them and everything I mean he was dealing crack and had guns but they had no probable cause for the searches it was definitely just because he was black. They would never do that to me because they don't want to and they know I'd be calling a lawyer. I've definitely driven around with more drugs than he had on him and wasn't even a little worried because I was following traffic laws in a decent car.

    Also had a white friend who put himself through college running coke from the big city up to ours. He had a newish little Hyundai never once got stopped or hassled at all.

  • if it's fun it's illegal
  • Well there's some theories that they really started pushing the drug war as a way to criminalize minorities and political groups like socialists and antiwar protesters. Also probably alcohol companies push it now. Like they changed the name from cannabis to marijuana to make it sound more foreign. And the CIA helped start the crack epidemic.

    I've also heard that lumber companies wanted to shut down hemp stuff too.

    But cannabis is legal in Canada now at least and I think well see psychedelics legalized here eventually.
