…and thus became fodder for Imperial Japan what-if wankery everywhere.

The nose and cockpit section of the fuselage is on display in the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia. “Other parts” are preserved in storage, although it is unclear if they mean the remaining fuselage, engine, and wings, or if those were destroyed following examination.

Sure, no other nation had a fighter plane folded over 1000 times.

A little know fact is that the one that was “scrapped” was actually lost fighting giant sea creatures!

It’s just crazy that the plane in the movie was not just a drawing board design taken from history, but the real thing had actually flown and actually impressed the Japanese military with its capability. Usually weird WW2 designs in movies either never existed outside of blueprints, or didn’t work in real life.

Shouldn’t the flag be revealed in the last pane for it to work?

Khrux,

I think the punchline is showing how obviously connected the two things are, not what the final one is.

JokeDeity, (edited ) to piracy in Naming Torrents

As soon as the file finishes downloading it becomes only the name of the movie.filetype

I can’t stand the titles on torrents.

bloup,

“Titles”? It’s not a title, it’s a file name that contains a lot of details about the rip. In the post’s example it tells you that it’s the movie Split, ripped from blu ray, in 1080p, with audio tracks in Italian and English, and encoded in x265. You probably would hate a lot more not being able to tell the difference between split.mp4 recorded on my cellphone in the movie theater and split.mp4 in ultra hd 4k ripped straight from Netflix.

JokeDeity,

Lol, okay. Calm down buddy. What I do doesn’t affect you. The torrent description let’s me know all that too, I just hate having those file names in my library, looks messy and it’s less easy for my eyes to browse quickly.

bloup,

I mean I never told you not to rename them lmfao. You just said “I can’t stand the titles on torrents” like people just made these really long filenames for shits and giggles. Also lots of torrent sites will feature several different kinds of rips. It’s not very convenient on the back end to have all rips of the same movie have the same file name.

Also “calm down”? Idk I thought I gave a pretty chill explanation of why things are the way they are but sorry if it didn’t come across that way.

No!! Julia!! That’s Bobby Hill??

“from scratch”

It’s like a page worth of instructions you can follow verbatim excluding bootloader and network. If you watch one video of someone doing it to fill those gaps there is nothing to it.

Source: I watched Kai Hendry speed install arch, bookmarked the video and all my machines are now arch “from scratch” in 10 minutes or less of actual keyboard time.

Sanyanov,

Mental Outlaw also has the great guide explaining the install step-by-step in a great detail

Jumuta,

except he doesn’t talk about the difference in bootloader installation for uefi

Sanyanov, (edited )

Touche

exu,

I don’t remember the channel anymore, but there’s one guy constantly updating various setups. Like Arch with encryption, Arch with BTRFS, etc. I started with one of those videos and wrote my own step by step guide. Now I’m just following my own guide whenever I install Arch.

victorz,

I wouldn’t dare do that. If my own guide becomes outdated I’d have wasted time and effort. But to each their own. 👍

kuberoot,

I think calling it “a page worth” is understating it somewhat, especially if you want a full install to actually use stuff. In reality, when installing at first, you’ll be finding stuff you missed for a while, like hardware video decoding.

Also, are you referring to just the direct instructions for one choice? Because to me, the point of installing manually is educating yourself on the choices, choosing one that suits you, and understanding what you’re doing to set it up. Of course, when you’re doing subsequent installs, you already know that stuff - but at that point you might just want to write an install script instead of running them manually.

Trve Arch users don’t remember their install process.

I even ported an install once from one device to another just by copying the data and installing the bootloader.

backhdlp,
@backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I only remember how long it takes

victorz,

Can confirm. Install once and it lives forever until the hardware dies or is replaced.

xarexyouxmadx, to linuxmemes in I am one of you now

I don’t use Arch but if I did id probably go with archinstall. I don’t see the point in going from scratch unless you absolutely need to. I could care less about bragging rights for installing an operating system lol.

Sanyanov, (edited )

I just don’t bother going for archinstall when regular installation “from scratch” takes 5 minutes (or 15, if you do it the first time). It is not scary and extremely simple, contrary to memes. Besides, it makes you understand the processes involved.

Archinstall is just a little, nice helper to shorten and simplify installation even more.

traches,

It’s not about bragging rights, all you do is follow instructions. I just do it that way because I can set everything up exactly how I like it

@people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You mean “couldn’t care less”. The way you’ve written it means that you do care a bit since you “could care less”.

camelbeard, (edited ) to linuxmemes in I am one of you now

I tried so many distros in the last decade, but I recently had to start with a fresh setup again and I went with Linux Mint. I think it’s the most underestimated workhorse you can get. Everything just works, tons of help online if you need it and instead of tweaking it forever you just get work done.

Linux mint is so good. I used it for a long while. It is a nearly perfect OS

midnight,
@midnight@kbin.social avatar

I don't think anyone underestimates Linux Mint. It's pretty widely considered one of the best distros out there.

Those of us who choose Arch do so for the software selection, and because we like tweaking the os :)

camelbeard,

I totally get that and I used to do the same. Maybe this community is different but on some online communities people kind of looked down on mint and pretended it was only a beginner distro.

NixOS is the new Arch… (cat, meet pigeons) Unfortunately It doesn’t have as much basic training as Arch did (which archinstall obviates, not that I think this is a bad thing, it’s time is here), which did so much to improve community. Unfortunately NixOS’s doco is woeful, while ArchWiki is gold standard.

I say this as an ex Arch type who moved to Fedora, now ublue-kinoite, waiting for Nix to mature enough to daily (although I do have a T440p with 3 boot drives not doing much, hmm)…

Shareni,

NixOS is the new Arch…

Yeah nah, arch has an actual use case for normal users - it’s just the same old Linux with the most recent packages.

Nix and guix simply don’t work as distros for regular people. They’re made for scientific and corporate applications. They add a huge amount of complexity in order to solve problems you don’t have.

Nixos is like rust: hyped into the stratosphere by people who don’t use it

I say this as an ex Arch type who moved to Fedora, now ublue-kinoite, waiting for Nix to mature enough to daily

I’m running guix in fedora as a PM. You get most of the benefits, and can still use other PM’s like npm without crying for a week first. Although imo guix works better in that scenario since you can just “guix install X” and then use X like any other binary.

Thank you I tried to figure out how one could recognize Bobby Hill in this drawing.

xenoclast,

Seeing that face “in the wild” blew my damn mind.

I just installed Fedora (I’ve been a Linux used for 7 years)

Very solid. Loved using it. Tbh, I have very little bad things to say about most of the distros I like all of them so far.

Endeavour Os was the best thing I ever used. Easy to install, out of box is minimal but sufficient. I traded my Linux Mint to be able to customize my workflow, look and feel.

I used it for a while too before I learned about archinstall. eOS has a great community though. I use their forum to look for answers often

Ngl that’s where I’ve learned about archinstall
