EVs are better than ICE in term of local emissions, however they do not solve all environmental issues.
The answer is fewer cars and more shared transportation. People always mention lack of public transport possibilities, affordability and rentability but the offer would develop immediately and would be much more efficient than what we have now if private passenger motorized vehicles weren't allowed as it would reduce the overall traffic significantly if only emergency, public and good transports were allowed.
This doesn't make any sense as there is not a linux desktop but multiples and the major ones have been less buggy than windows for the most part of the last 20 years.
Hardware support is where Linux used to struggle. Nowadays things aren't perfect but much better. Basically it means you need to figure out which hardware to buy based on available support, before making the purchase.
I am willing to concede this might be true, but I personally have never checked Linux support before through 3 generations of desktops. Intel/Nvidia twice and then AMD/AMD.
Until you get some Windows apologist who points out that their proprietary touchscreen that has multiple layers of DRM doesn't have Linux drivers and therefore Linux doesn't have good hardware support.
You have to be careful in the same way that you can't expect to wipe an M series Mac and stick Windows on it.
Apple devices have multiple layers of touchscreen DRM, but most other devices are just lacking drivers, because there are far too many devices for five unpaid interns to write drivers for all of them.
> Google Docs is a document editor (opening/saving Microsoft office compatible documents, with layout, etc), not a wiki/markdown editor. The La Suite Docs seems a product more similar to Atlassian Confluence.
In the last 10 years I've been spending much more time at the office consulting and editing confluence and web pages (sharepoint / mkdocs / readme and other markdown based resources) than the cumulative time spent on
word, excel, powerpoint and pdf documents. I imagine it is the same for a significant portion of the population.
Also, libreoffice is already a thing and nobody edits office365 documents using the web versions except when their employer can't/don't want to pay the license for the full version or the client is not vailable on their OS (linux users). Libreoffice doesn't have that problem, you only really need storage with sharing facilities, not featurefull web clients for your docs.
As long as you don't mirror daily and use rate limit there is no reason you would be a dick doing it.
FWIW I have a local copy of sheldown brown's website I mirrored a few years back when they announced the shop would close as I expected they would eventually shutdown the website too. I don't know if his wife is still alive, she had her own space nor if someone has taken over the maintenance.
Why would you care that your hostname on a local only domain is published to the world if it is not reachable from outside? Publicly available hosts are alread published to the world anyway through DNS.
> Admittedly, most residential ISPs block all SMTP traffic, and other email servers are likely to drop it or mark it as spam, but there's no strict requirement for auth.
Source? I've never seen that. Nobody could use their email provider of choice if that was the case.
They don't do DPI, they just look at the destination port.
And that's why there's a separate port for submission to mail agents where such auth is expected and thus only outbound mail is typically even attempted to be submitted to.
Technically local delivery mail too, e.g. where the From and the To headers are valid and have the same domain.
AT&T says "port 25 may be blocked from customers with dynamically-assigned Internet Protocol addresses", which is the majority of customers https://about.att.com/sites/broadband/network
What ISP are you using that isn't blocking port 25, and have you never had the misfortune of being stuck with comcast or AT&T as your only option?
A bunch of out-of-the-box NAS manufacturers provide a web-based OS-like shell with file managers, document editors, as well as an "app store" for containers and services.
I see the traditional "RAID with a SMB share" NAS devices less and less in stores.
If only storage target mode[1] had some form of authentication, it'd make setting up a barebones NAS an absolute breeze.
Storage target mode is block-level, not filesystem-level, meaning it won't support concurrent access and any network hiccup or dropped connection will leave the filesystem in an unclean state.
> ...any network hiccup or dropped connection will leave the filesystem in an unclean state.
Given that the docs claim that this is an implementation of an official NVMe thing, I'd be very surprised if it had absolutely no facility for recovering from intermittent network failure. "The network is unreliable" [0] is axiom #1 for anyone who's building something that needs to go over a network.
If what you report is true, then is the suckage because of SystemD's poor implementation, or because the thing it's implementing is totally defective?
[0] Yes, datacenter (and even home) networks can be very reliable. They cannot be 100% reliable and -in my professional experience- are substantially less than 100% reliable. "Your disks get turbofucked if the network ever so much as burps" is unacceptable for something you expect people to actually use for real.
NVME only provides block IO. An interruption of the connection is equivalent to forcibly unplugging a hard drive. If the filesystem you put on top supports that and is able to recover from that, you're fine. But most filesystems do not optimize for that happening anywhere near as frequently as it would if you were using this as a regular file sharing protocol over unreliable networks.
Sure. NVMe provides block IO carried over a variety of transports. The one we're talking about is TCP.
> An interruption of the connection is equivalent to forcibly unplugging a hard drive.
Remember that I said in my footnote:
"Your disks get turbofucked if the network ever so much as burps" is unacceptable for something you expect people to actually use for real.
A glance at the spec reveals that TCP was chosen to provide reliable, in-order transmission of NVMe payloads. TCP is quite able to recover from intermittent transport errors. You might consider reading the first paragraph of sections 2 and 3.3, as well as sections 3.4, 3.5, and the first handful of paragraphs of section 3.5.1 of the relevant spec. [0]
If you're truly seeing disk corruption whenever the network so much as burps, then it sounds like the SystemD guys fucked something up.
Is it possible that there could be two separate things going on here? Anecdotally, I can confirm that my memory when actively using it not better. If you tell me something when I'm zoned out, unless I set a reminder or something in my calendar, fat chance I'll remember the next day. However, I am more of a "occasional weekend" user and then only in the evening after my work and family obligations are taken care of for the day; very similar to how many people consume a whisky or other hard liquor in moderation.
> Life long moderate cannabis use improves memory function. That's the main takeaway from the research.
Had you forgotten already? :)
(I don't actually know if it's true; I have no idea. I was just pointing out that if "lifelong" cannabis use improves memory function, and your observation is that your memory got worse after you quit cannabis... that is not a contradiction).
I would have a very hard time accepting it to be true. They don't even strongly make the claim that it is true, they are correlating areas of the brain associated with memory as growing larger, and they are associating a larger brain area with better cognition, but later in the article indicate that there are some areas of the brain which are associated with memory which actually shrink.
I think we should question research which is overwhelmingly against our common experience of life. My memory is absolutely shot when I am consuming weed regularly. It's not particularly subtle, it is noticeably worse. I suppose there is room for a situation in which it is worse while I am heavily using, but if I were to cease maybe it will rebound and settle at a point which is better than it would have been had I not consumed any cannabis... but I don't see any reason to believe this.
it doesnt. It does things with the region of the brain that is asociated with memory we still dont understand.
Honestly in my peer group, weed or no weed, people behave mostly the same memory wise.
