Hedgehog’s spine, anteater’s snout: Long-lost mammal rediscovered in Indonesia (www.cnn.com)

Scientists have rediscovered a long-lost species of mammal described as having the spines of a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater and the feet of a mole, in Indonesia’s Cyclops Mountains more than 60 years after it was last recorded....

redcalcium,

Kempton’s team survived an earthquake, malaria and even a leech attached to an eyeball during their trip.

Yep, just your average Papua forest exploration experience.

redcalcium,

I think it’s not btrfs that’s slow, it’s bcachefs that’s insanely fast. Bcachefs almost as fast as ext4 while having that many features is insane.

redcalcium, (edited )

Wait, so the benchmarks mostly contradict claims that bcachefs is almost as fast as ext4 except in application startup time? What kind of test performed for that application startup time benchmark?

redcalcium,

CoD players won’t play another games because there’s not enough storage left to install another games? Sounds like what Activision would do.

redcalcium,

How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven’t created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

redcalcium,

My desktop crashed three times so far after updating gnome, linux kernel and nvidia driver two days ago. Not sure who’s the culprit, but I’ll blame nvidia by default.

redcalcium,

Thanks! Some of the tips are certainly not obvious to people not familiar with mastodon like me (follow a lot of people first to discover stuff they boosted then prune it later, follow people that boosts a lot).

redcalcium,

“read the friendly manual”

redcalcium,

Here I am admiring how the AI finally get the fingers look right until I noticed the extra arm.

This might work:

  • install an x server app in your phone (e.g. XSDL) and start it
  • install Termux from f-droid (the one in play store hasn’t been updated due to changes in play store policy that prevents Termux package manager from working)
  • in Termux, run something like DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 ssh -Y user@hostname
redcalcium,

No amount of funding will make native desktop icon happen if the devs simply don’t want to implement then.

redcalcium,

My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.

redcalcium,

What’s with the US funding resistance groups only to have those groups turn their back on US when they finally got in power?

redcalcium,

Have you verified that this is not a DNS issue? For example, is curl http://1.1.1.1 working, while curl http://ip.me not working?

redcalcium, (edited )

US in that time period is pretty wild! They have:

  • restaurants where you dine in your parked car
  • movie theaters where you watch movies in your parked car
  • camping grounds where you sleep in your parked car

What else do I miss? Was there any other popular activities done in parked cars?

I had no idea that you could download movies from the 90ies from archive.org (jeena.net)

I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old....

redcalcium,

Any random internet users can create an account and upload stuff to the internet archive. Just be careful when you download softwares there.

redcalcium,

Why make coleslaw when you can deep fried (or air fried) the cabbage. Less effort and tastier result.

redcalcium,

My language is not gendered, so yes, writers do have to work harder when they want to imply gender without explicitly mentioning the gender in their writing. But it also makes concealing a character’s gender easier to make it harder to guess the plot.

redcalcium,

Two hours to power on? Did I read this right? What happen during this long power up sequence? Is it stuck on POST, bootloader or kernel load?

redcalcium,

It’s still require DoH, right? Not sure what my ISP does, but DoH has very high latency and often timeout on my end, probably to discourage their customers to turn on DoH.

redcalcium,

Before Wikipedia default to https, I remember being surprised seeing ads in a Wikipedia page. I was so disappointed that Wikipedia has stoop so low before eventually realizing my cursed ISP was the real culprit.

redcalcium,

Shenanigan like this was one of the main driving force to push website operators to use https by default. The other driving forces are the computational cost of serving https got significantly cheaper thanks to modern CPU with accelerated cryptography instructions support, and letsencrypt providing free TLS certificate to everyone.

redcalcium,

Hmm, kinda doubt it’s the DoH provider’s fault (cloudflare). On the other hand, my ISP already transparently redirecting plain DNS requests to their own DNS server, so it’s not a stretch to think they found a way to degrade DoH experience (at least for well known endpoint like 1.1.1.1).

redcalcium,
