It’s expensive and has only the advantage of catching CO2

It doesn’t even do that well. Algae have short lifespans and when they decompose, the CO2 will go right back into the atmosphere. It’s the same reason you can’t reasonably capture CO2 with small plants like grasses, nor does the carbon inside you count as captured. The reason trees “capture CO2” is because trees live for a long time and wood decomposes very slowly, and therefore keep its carbon locked in the wood for a long time. The point of capturing carbon is you take it out of circulation for as long as possible.

There are ways to have algae capture carbon, but they are fairly involved (read: very expensive) processes whose scalability is still uncertain. Certainly not a tank in the street.

I assume they mean how long many old growth forests have been growing (though even then thousands of years is on the younger end), not the time it took for trees to evolve.

It helps if and only if the glucose stays as glucose and is not metabolized. Wood is a good application of this, as its cellulose fibers are made of glucose, in a form that is very stable and can stay locked away for a long time (especially if the tree is alive as it does not metabolize the glucose in its own wood and has anti-predation adaptations that actively guard it against other organisms). However, if the glucose decomposes, i.e. is metabolized, it is converted either directly to CO2 or into other compounds that eventually end up as CO2, essentially returning the captured carbon back to the atmosphere.

I just map both the user cache and the /tmp directory to a RAM drive. I allocated 4 GB but in practice it never gets even close to that much, and Linux seems to not be reserving the entire 4 GB at boot so I would assume how much RAM is used depends on how much is actually in your cache.

It also defers cache and tempfile related problems to turning it off and on again.

You have Rust.

Forget rescuing the princess, that’s unsafe. Lock her down even more!

And then Windows overwrites your bootloader so it can only boot into Windows.

They could always do what Android does and give you a prompt to force close an app that hangs for too long, or have a default subprocess limit and an optional whitelist of programs that can have as many subprocesses as they want.

With the French guy on this. Weed is expensive even when legal, and if it’s not, you really don’t want to share it with any rando because you can get pegged for distribution.

Edit: Looked it up, the French word is actually “saumon”. The L in the English word probably isn’t from French.

It breaks the cardinal rule of executing privileged code: Only code that absolutely needs to be privilaged should be privileged.

If they really wanted to have their logo in the boot screen, why can’t they just provide the image to the OS and request through some API that they display it? The UEFI and OS do a ton of back and fourth communication at boot so why can’t this be apart of that? (It’s not because then the OS and by extension the user can much more easily refuse to display what is essentially an ad for the hardware vendor right? They’d never put “features” in privileged code just to stop the user from doing anything about it… right?)

Would be pretty easy to pull off if you had hardware access. Just boot from a flash drive and drop the exploit from there.

Even if their OS is full disk encrypted, this can easily inject a backdoor or just keylog the bootup password prompt.

What the fuck the do you have a life question is so offensive! Stop trying to just be edgy in memes!

I’m so sick of these stupid stereotypes that the Linux community has. I’ll have you know that I use both Debian and Fedora and I do not in fact have a life.

No sane industrial or construction operator is buying a Cybertruck. They’d probably get the base model F150 Lightning or something if they wanted electric, you know, like they’ve already been doing.

Does `cp -v` print out the file name when it starts copying it or when it's done?

So if I had a cp -v operation fail, is the last file name it printed out the last successful file copy, or is it the failed partially copied file? If you had to ensure all files are copied correctly without overwriting anything, would deleting the last filename that was printed from the destination folder delete the partially...

Eh pizza from these types of restaurants already isn’t that healthy to begin with and your body can more than tank the effects of an occasional special treat like this.

Just remember to drink a lot of water.

I was promised microchips. I haven’t gotten a single brain notification from Elon Musk yet. This some bullshit.

The problem these days is everyone is self centered and unwilling to work hard

[…]

but in reality we are unfair to each other.

The last part of your sentence is correct. So maybe the reason everyone is “unwilling” to work is actually because they are unwilling to be exploited. Considering how capitalism utterly failed to regulate the market and wages are still piss poor despite every CEO and their henchmen crying about the labour shortage, when according to capitalist theory the solution should have been to immediately raise wages as the low supply and high demand of labour necessitates higher prices. That’s the excuse they give us when they jack up the prices on food and basic supplies yet they reject the same logic when applied to workers.
