Cool. Btw, I'm using gluetun container, and sending through VPN only a few containarrs. It's just another take, instead of running the VPN connection on the OS level and then whitelisting apps for exclusion.

Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve's success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can't play, but it's their fault.

Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)

Write what you want others to read, I don't care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)

I have a singlespeed, I live in a mostly flat city. It's awesome! Most bikes have gears and are more 'breakable' as they have all those external moving parts.

Then, there's that gear system that is built into the wheel, that's less breakable but probably less reparaible too.

So, my advice would be to get a fixie. I used it with the 'freewheel' config at first but having switched I learnt of the efficiency in translating hard pushes on the pedal (I don't stand-up pedal anymore, and most small slopes are a bit easier now!)

Fixies had a revival for these reasons. Unfortunately, at least in Germany, they're extremely underrepresented in the market.

Do check seaweedfs too! Haven't tried it (yet) but their 'erasure coding' reads as super sophisticated to me ;)

I wonder how it compares to beegfs

Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.

And, if you're like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.

First, stop buying games (*1)

Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+fallacy

(*1) there's piracy xdd

Somewhat related, a recent kurzgesagt video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXERzEafjIU

 

(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)

Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.

Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?

At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.

If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.

Not to flame you, but really just an HTML form was all you needed? It's a super simple feature...

I'm attracted to it because of the posix backend. Did anyone try it? Is it stable?

Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

 

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)
