Now that’s a good assessment

Tho, I am personally not in the US at all :D

Russian northwest

Sanyanov,

Very impressive!

One thing though; the area to the north is very swamped; it’s not just lakes. So getting dry lumber any time of the year is near impossible, thereby fire kit is very advisable. Dry needles are not as dry as one would want. Cones that are often advised as an element of easy fire starters are extremely wet and useless for the task; they burn no better than wood thorougly soaked in water. Generally, making fire out of any lumber in the woods is a massive headache in there.

Also, high humidity means fog is a very regular occurrence, so a clifftop might be way less useful that one can imagine. It gets particularly bad the closer you move to Khibiny mountains.

I’d say there’s enough stuff that can be turned into fire starter should you have time to dry it (and under a good cover with relatively strong winds and relatively low humidity for the area it will take several days to dry thin starters and months to dry firewood, so tarp won’t help you that much in the short run). Generally, if you’re in the wild in winter in northwestern Russia without already stored dry firewood or other fuel, your chances of survival are fairly questionable to begin with.

Yes, there aren’t many caves in there and terrain is very hard. Constructing a cover is not a trivial task. Normally in this environment survivalists resort to self-made tents or dig into the ground (latter being less popular in the winter, for obvious reasons), but both are fairly useless in a zombie apocalypse for the reasons you’ve already outlined. Mountain and treetop constructions will suffer severely from strong cold winds.

Realistically though, you cannot survive the wilderness of northwestern Russia (and a lot of wilderness for that matter) with just 4 objects. You’ll strike a way better chance by finding a remote village. Yes, you might have to ward off zombies, but, as you mentioned, environment will be less of an issue, and environment here is certainly deadly.

Sanyanov,

Useful, but still it kinda makes you read through all the update news, which is…why?

I’d like to just hit update and not bother.

Sanyanov, (edited )

True, but if snapshots turn from first line of catastrophe response to a regular tool, this is not a good experience.

Also I believe Garuda has enabled snapshots and btrfs by default.

Sanyanov, (edited )

A fully functional system, just like any other normal OS?

You hit update - boom - you get one, seamlessly, with no breakages and no other user interaction. And that’s how it works pretty much everywhere - except, you know, Arch.

If you’re fine with it - that’s fine, go ahead and tinker all you like. But don’t expect others to have the same priorities.

Sanyanov, (edited )

Man that’s news from 2016, like, it’s a bit rare occasion, y’know. You’re way more likely to get borked by Arch even after reading all the instructions, and it did happen numerous times.

Touching grass is what I do when you take steps to intervene in your system to make an update work.

I see you are an Arch maximalist, but that goes beyond reason. Even Arch proponents are normally not as aggressive on the topic, and admit Arch is too complicated in that regard.

Sanyanov,

Arch is easy to install; it’s a headache to manage.

If you want a stable Arch, you need to check the updates and take very granular control over packages and versioning.

While some nerds may like tinkering with their system in all those ways, for regular user Arch is simply too much effort to maintain.

Sanyanov,

They will now say it’s only because they fought and warned us

Sanyanov,

Fr tho, this tool is cancer and I’m baffled by the fact this comment is downvoted.

Dude is actually promoting BigTech on Lemmy, in a trolling way or not. This is not cool.

Sanyanov, (edited )

It is indeed, and it needs our support and attention - and not the project that took an open-source model away from us, using millions to capture the market and exploit users.

I refer to OpenAI and their creations as cancer, not all generative models in general. The latter have a big place in the future, and it’s best to make sure this future will be bright.

The core problem, as always, is communication.

If you want to vent, or gain some compassion and care, and you’re talking about your problems to a problem solver - say it.

Don’t say “I have problem A and I don’t need solutions”. Say “I know what to do with this, but it’s very frustrating and I need your support”. Yes, just like that. Admit, with words, that you want them to care for you. That’s it.

If you’re a problem solver, and you know the other person is often willing to just vent, or if you’re not completely sure your advice is wanted, ask it.

Don’t say “Just do B, problem solved”. Say “I might have some ideas on how to help you. Do you want my advice or should I just be there for you?”. And then if they want it - go for it! Don’t expect them to be ignorant of simple solutions; most likely they already thought them over, and either dismissed them for reasons not obvious to you from the first glance, or they already made it part of their plan.

Talk such things through, it will do wonders. For both of you.

Sanyanov,

The Christian edition seems like not 100% joke

Nah, the reason we’re chill is because the sole reason for you burning/not baking enough/having random issues is that you don’t control a lot of variables.

Do you even check moisture content of your flour? Do you know its gluten content, amount of ash and mineral impurities, titratable acidity? Do you have farinograms, alveograms, falling number for doughs made with it? Do you check room, water, flour, dough temperature? Do you put your dough to leaven at precise temperature and humidity? Do you put just enough steam into the baking chamber, and do you correct the temperature before loading the oven? Do you know the way heat moves through the oven, and do you know which corrections need to be made for your exact one?

We do. And we always make it right. So, what’s to worry about? It’s very simple and routine at that point. You do A, you get bread. Simple as that!

Sanyanov,

Not firmware, but apps to which the watches connect.

I’m talking watches with Bluetooth-only connectivity, like Mi Band, not full-fledged machines like Apple Watch.

But yes, there is also open-source firmware for high-tech smart watches, too

Sanyanov,

Smartwatch, but without native software.

I do appreciate the extra functionality compared to regular, and the price is lower, so win-win.

I am, however, privacy-conscious and do not allow the watch manufacturer to get any of the data from the watch.

alt text(parodical) YouTube popup: Going to pee during the ad break violates YouTube’s Terms of Service - It looks like you selfishly left the room while our ads were playing. Don’t you know that by watching youtube you entered a CONTRACT?! - We killed the competition by operating at a loss for a decade. We paid good money...

Sanyanov,

Also check out FreeTube. It is more YouTube-focused, but does its job amazingly well and in style.

Sanyanov,

That’s valid

Sanyanov,

Agreed, that’s valid.

Emotional reactions sometimes lead people way too far, and I should’ve mentioned that as well.

Sanyanov,

Use DE and edit files with graphical editors like a normal human being.

Problem solved.
