OmnipotentEntity, to linux in ELI5 the whole Wayland vs X11 going on.
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Yes, nominally, but there is a layer called XWayland to support backwards compatibility, so it’s not really a concern.

OmnipotentEntity, to memes in Ronald McDonald's spraying democracy and freedom 🥰
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Dang, way to both sides genocide done by an apartheid state. Very centrist. Let the cooler heads prevail.

OmnipotentEntity, (edited ) to linux in What are your opinions of Guix?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Nix is also working on reproducible builds. In fact, the minimal installation CD for NixOS last release was reproducible. discourse.nixos.org/t/…/34756/

OmnipotentEntity, to linux in What would be the best way for me to recover data from my old laptop's hard drive, which seems to have a bad superblock?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

If the disc is corrupted it may be failing, recommending ddrescue over dd is probably a better call not knowing anything else about this situation. Essentially, no reason not to use it.

OmnipotentEntity, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

ZFS has encryption now, dunno about the rest

OmnipotentEntity, to linux in Arch or NixOS?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Out of curiosity, which one?

OmnipotentEntity, to memes in Boy howdy!
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

If I’m remembering correctly, it’s a WW2 propaganda poster about enlisted men avoiding venereal diseases.

OmnipotentEntity, to memes in lots of homework....
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Did you know that this information can be easily googled, and you don’t have to double down? A writable CD most typically contains between 650 and 700 MB of capacity.

OmnipotentEntity, to memes in Economic Theory is Fun tho.
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

The word “incel” colloquially covers quite a bit more territory than its acronym expansion implies, much like MAGA means quite a bit more than just a collective of individuals who want to see America succeed. But of course you know this, so why exactly are you asking?

OmnipotentEntity, to memes in $1 grilled cheese
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Sure, I’d give you dry toast for $1.

OmnipotentEntity, to memes in Who's That Pokémon?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

The shittiest thing is that they’re not actually good at it. We generally use compactness as a proxy for a gerrymandered district. However, you can effectively gerrymander using extremely compact districts. youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-Y7crQo44

This is terrifying, and a strong reason to move to multimember districting.

OmnipotentEntity, to food in Wasabi, beloved on sushi, linked to "really substantial" boost in memory, Japanese study finds
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Horseradish wasabi is good. I’ve also had real wasabi, which is even better.

OmnipotentEntity, to linux in Comparison between NixOS vs blendOS vs Vanilla OS: what to pick and why?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

You can always configure the garbage collection to reduce disk space usage, or manually run it.

OmnipotentEntity, to askelectronics in Siglent SDS1104XE: slanted square wave
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Does this scope do Fourier analysis? If so, can you see which frequencies are being suppressed? Does this suppression at this frequency also occur with generated white noise?

OmnipotentEntity, to linux in Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?
@OmnipotentEntity@beehaw.org avatar

Because the nix package manager places all system packages under /nix/store/uniquehash-packagename-version/

Where the unique hash is obtained via a Merkel tree of all the inputs. So in particular, binaries and libraries exist underneath those directories, not in the places you would expect from FHS.

In order to make the system actually work, environment variables are set up and executables are patched to refer to specific paths within the Nix Store.
