BastingChemina,

Internet can make people smarter, if they actually want to get smarter.

BastingChemina,

Another issue that Darwin had is that for the theory of evolution to work you need very long periods of time.

The problem is that it has been proved by the physicist William Thomson using cold hard maths that the earth cannot be older that few hundreds millions years, which is not compatible with Darwin’s theory.

History told us that Darwin was right and Thomson wrong but it did not appeared this way at the time.

BastingChemina,

I tried rewatching recently but I could not go past the recorded laugh.

Favourite FOSS Torrenting Client for Linux that has a VPN killswitch?

I’m a long-time Transmission user but I just learned that VPN killswitches are a thing (how did it take me so long!?). I would like to try another client which has this feature in case I forget to launch my VPN client before opening Transmission. Does anybody have any recommendations? Deluge? QBittorrent? Or any others?...

BastingChemina,

I have the same setting because some tracker only let you connect with one IP address. So I have Prowlarr and Transmission both connected via gluetun.

BastingChemina,

NixOS too. I really like having a “fresh” install every time I restart.

BastingChemina,

Yes, this particular ratio allows the fact that you can fold a A3 paper in two and get two A4 sheet

BastingChemina,

Just like wigs or esthetic surgery. We generally have the impression that wigs looks terrible, just because we only notice the bad one. The good one goes unnoticed.

BastingChemina,

A friend in high school gave me an Ubuntu live CD and told me I should try it.

BastingChemina,

It’s like the IT version of “did you check that the computer is properly plugged in ?”

Everyone roll their eyes having to check the plug but a lot of the time the issue can be something basic like that.

BastingChemina,

I feel like the US has a very strong resistance to change regarding standards.

The 110v for example used to be the norme in France, but they changed it to 220v in the 50’ and then 230v in the 90’.

Same thing for the plugs, the paper size, the measurement system …

BastingChemina,

I met my wife on tinder, we were living in two different country 80 km from each other but it worked.

However it was almost a decade ago.

BastingChemina,

I think there is above 50 cities named “Villeneuve” in France (literraly meaning "New City)

Have you ever seen a humain baby right after birth ?

Our brain is wired so we still find them kinda cute but without hormones and context we would probably find them ugly.

BastingChemina,

I’ve lost some of my sanity reading this !

BastingChemina,

In a normal business that is not a mega corporation you would just do it. You can just activate it for a limited period if you really feel suspicious, after two or three tries you will quickly spot the people trying to abuse the system.

Even if people could abuse the system for free aubsceiptions, I don’t agree with the fact that preventing people from getting free subscription is a higher priority than helping a mother getting her 2 years old back.

BastingChemina,

I don’t think the “No man can kill me” is some kind of magical immunity, more a brag.

Factorio for me, the interesting part is that I usually want tonlay the game after a day of mindless tasks at work.

On the other hand if I’ve been busy at work and had to solve a lot of issues I’m prefer other games.

It’s my brain gym

BastingChemina,

Me too, I would probably watch it with a group a friends.

Ask a physician physicist to build a bridge, it collapse but he knows exactly how and why it collapsed.

Ask an engineer to do it, it holds but he has no idea how it’s holding together.

I have an issue with how SIM cards are handled in most countries

Almost all countries require official authentication to activate a SIM card. This seems to me as a huge privacy problem, if the country can track sim cards across cell towers and connect them to a person. It seems like a dystopian system, that we litterely can not hide from our governments without turning off our smartphones. It...

BastingChemina,

A tablet ?

BastingChemina,

Yeah this was my issue too.

BastingChemina,

I tried via a VM but CAD applications need a GPU and doing a GPU pass through with a nvidia card on my laptop was too much for me.

BastingChemina,

This is what I did, I prepared a partition for windows on the second ssd and it went OK.

The only issue was that I needed to manually add drivers on the windows usb for it to be able to recognized my ssd. It was a bit of a pain to find this information online

BastingChemina,

I will try it.

It’s more expensive than Fusion360 but if its working well I might be interested.
