ursakhiin,

Those are the days “I only went in for 1 or 2 (20 as it turns out) things”

ursakhiin,

On Windows and Mac, you are doing a number of things implicitly that you don’t realize.

When you download from their site, you are expected to verify the integrity and validity of the install file yourself. You also have to take ownership of installing any dependencies yourself.

With the instructions mulvad is providing you, you are connecting to a repo and apt does all that for you.

Some installs don’t require dependencies, but some do. Long term, this style of install tends to be a lot simpler, you just have to learn it.

But more importantly and as others have stated. Linux is different. If you aren’t interested in learning a new workflow, you should stick with something familiar. That’s a choice you should make not because others said it but because you want it.

ursakhiin,

It definitely is, but likely comes with a slight performance sacrifice due to bus speeds.

ursakhiin, (edited )

That can depend on a lot of factors, though. From the bus of the enclosure to the speed of the USB port and cables you used.

I wouldn’t have expected a 40 percent drop on the modern USB standards, but I’d still expect a drop. I was thinking closer to 20 percent.

It could be a materialized view that is generated off of a weighting where you are nice until you have a certain number of incidents.

ursakhiin,

I’d imagine they were giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming everybody uses a metric that allows for 1 conversion to tell how far a tank of fuel will take you.

ursakhiin,

And you get a comment

ursakhiin,

I do this with the exception of I just don’t want to bother by the time I finish it.

ursakhiin,

At first I thought this was going to be about Scuba diving as the deaths caused by oxygen is a factor that needs considering.

ursakhiin,

Just think, somewhere in the multiverse is a universe where boomers can’t afford houses because their kids traveled back in time and bought them all up.

ursakhiin,

Who do you think was playing Quake and Unreal Tournament if not the parents of today’s youth?

ursakhiin,

Apple could open up iMessage.

Lucille Ball was a comedian first and an actor second. That’s why.

ursakhiin,

Microsoft teams screen share for me. Doesn’t work at all with Wayland.

Run command as not-root

Hi everyone

At work, I have to run a command in an AWS instance. In that particular instance only exists the root user. The command should not be executed with root privileges (it executes mpirun, which is not recommended to run as sudo or the machine might break), so I was wondering if there is a way to block or disable the sudo privileges while the command is running. As mentioned, the only user existing there is root, so I suppose "sudo -u" is not an option.

Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks in advance!

@linux

ursakhiin,

If everything on the machine is owned by root and does not provide global read or execute permissions then a new user would not be able to access it without being in the root group. Assuming the files have group permissions set at all anyways.

ursakhiin,

Are you certain this isn’t a docker container you’ve logged into?

ursakhiin,

Well, the docker command wouldn’t exist inside of a container. You could use uname to check the system info.

How is it you don’t know this information about a system you’ve connected to?

ursakhiin,

It’s not that an Amazon instance can be a docker container. It was more that the behavior you are describing is extremely odd for a full Linux environment but normal for a docker container.

If you created the instance, it isn’t likely a container. But it also sounds like the base image might be poorly set up

ursakhiin,

I was in Japan this year and didn’t see any Mexican food in the 3 major cities I visited. I’m not saying it does not exist but it’s definitely not common if it does.

That also makes sense, though. Food in Japan, even the foreign food, has a specific palette it’s targeting. Mexican food is extremely different from Japanese food.

Typically, any food that is introduced to a new culture is successful once it’s adapted to that cultures palette. Any Mexican food being successful in Japan would likely be more akin to the Mexican/Asian fusion places we have in the States than traditional Mexican food.

ursakhiin,

My whole bingo card is zero wars happening.

Sure, I’m unlikely to win. But if I do, wouldn’t it be grand!?

ursakhiin,

Adding a PSA to state that you shouldn’t take medical advice from random people on the Internet.

If you are trained in CPR, follow your training. If your certification has expired you should re-up it. There are legal reasons some training says certain things in different areas and following your training will protect you even if you go to a place with different laws.

ursakhiin,

:note: I know this isn’t the point of your comment but I wanted you to be able to have a non-insulting conversation on the topic.

Premium is more than it should be and ads on YouTube arent handled very well i.e. Obnoxious

I watch adless on my phone, but still use the default app to stream to my TV and generally let the ads play through.

23 dollars a month for 2 people on a family plan is just nuts, though. If they had a 2 person option that was like 17-18 then I’d probably get it.

ursakhiin,

There is a cheaper option for just a single account. 13.99 in the US. I think that’s a reasonable price and would pay it if it was just me. I just wish there was an option between 1 person and a whole family.

ursakhiin,

Our max is 85mph (~136kmph) in some areas. I think that’s the highest in the US.
