- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 5 hours ago:
IMO, the easiest way to make your system not swap into some disk you don’t want it to is to not enable any swap partition on that disk.
If it’s using that much RAM for cache, it will survive not having a swap with a minimum impact on performance.

Well, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to betray the Soviets or face the French right on…
- Comment on Operation Granby vs Operation Desert Storm 1 week ago:
Well, it’s a very stereotypically British thing.
- Comment on Heated bed insulation 2 weeks ago:
IMO, if you are printing PLA, it’s not worth it.
The usefulness increases with the temperature. It dramatically reduced my printer’s consumption when the bed is 95°C, and allowed it to heat up to 115°C (I didn’t try anything further).
I have an adhesive insulator from Aliexpress. It has lasted for a few months without any visible wear, but I can’t say much about its longevity. But given the price, I would be kinda ok with it lasting only a couple of years.
- Comment on its a jarring realization that deserts, mountains, and worse climates are mroe hospitable to human civilization than Lush/Green looking northern forests 2 weeks ago:
You can cross a desert, you only need to carry water and food.
Just try walking 100m into a forest.

- Comment on History gets weird when everyone skips their own chapter 3 weeks ago:
1980s…
You meant the military dictatorship or Sarney’s almost dictatorship?
Yes, it’s a bit surprising that they were doing some targeted ethnic cleansing on the middle of all that random killing. But then I’m not sure which instance of it you are talking about.
- Comment on Brazil MUST defend its lobster rights! 1 month ago:
Cue for the French military command nervous because a single missile costs more than all the fishing revenue in a decade; while the Brazilian military command is nervous because “WTF, president, are we really getting into war with France?!”; while the French population is nervous protesting their government using the military to cause an ecologic disaster; while the Brazilian population is nervous making some samba about how crabs are fish when the tide is rising only.
- Comment on How it goes everytime 1 month ago:
Ah, no, that in my comment is not a definition. You are misreading it.
- Comment on How it goes everytime 1 month ago:
No. You wouldn’t first have to conquer all other states.
What make a state exist in your society is the existence of violence, not the existence of other states.

Oh, I though I saw news about him dying, but I probably mixed it up.

It’s really amazing how the anteater starts going into defense mode, and he reacts like he has no idea what was about to happen.
Did this guy really survive until recently?
- Comment on What happened here?? 1 month ago:
Not entirely sure what “cold pull” means.
You unscrew your extruder, heat the hotend up until you can barely push the plastic across (~170ºC for PLA, ~180°C for ABS), push a bit of it and then pull it out.
Cut the end of the filament and do it again, a few times.

Oh, man. If those are the normal-ish guys that start it, I don’t want to know how the dumb crazy drug-addicted genociders look like.

Well, that’s not what they did differently.
- Comment on The Intricate history of Camel Semen extraction wasn’t really something I expected to dedicate my weekend to… 1 month ago:
I imagine the quicker he inspects, separates and freezes the semen, the best results he will get with using it to fertilize camels later.
