  It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

  The register simply says “nothing to see here” 😂

  the subreddit r/okbuddybaldur is pretty much 50% Astarion porn and 50% Durge/Gortash shipping.

  So yes. People apparently want it. I guess.

  While it certainly isn’t news to us today, every additional observation that supports a theory is valuable, especially for theories about deep-rooted and hard-to-prove causality.

  We can’t just go out traumatizing children “for science” to find out what the incident rate of mental health as it relates to different traumas.

  Ryujinx works well, but not as well as yuzu, and doesn’t seem to be a target of takedowns

  I haven’t tested those myself, but wine has excellent 32 bit compatibility in general. If it’s on the list at wine hq, then it probably works

  Thanks! The first link was a useful summary, and I’ll look at the others when I have more time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RNAception⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anybody got a link for a good explanation of this for someone whose knowledge of micro bio is 12 years out of date?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers unlock fiber optic connection 1.2 million times faster than broadband⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re taking about data rates here, measured in bits per second.

  Data caps have to do with the total amount of data you are allocated over a longer period of time. Usually per month. In the case of Comcast, it’s 1.5 TB/month.

  If the customer exceeds that allotment during the month, they will be charged an additional “overage fee” per arbitrary unit, usually by the gigabyte.

  It has nothing to do with the speed they advertise on a line, but rather a way to charge “heavy users” more.

  i7-950 here. I don’t use it every day, but it still runs very smoothly. Even though the memory is a little slow at times

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ExpressVPN bug leaks DNS requests for Windows users with split tunneling:⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh, I might be wrong here, but isn’t the whole purpose of split tunneling to allow you to send only necessary traffic through a given tunnel? Then the rest of your traffic goes whatever the default path is?

  This seems more like a feature than a CVE. Maybe I’m missing something.

  Unless you’re getting used datacenter grade hardware for next to free, I doubt this. You need 130 gb of VRAM on your GPUs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm 99% sure it's not real⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As an engineer:

  1. Receive or identify a problem.
  2. Design a solution that solves or mitigated the problem.
  3. Usually pay someone to make a prototype or do it ourselves
  4. Test the prototype and see if it solves the problem. If no, go back to #2 until a workable solution is found
  5. Get someone else to build the final thing.
  6. Make sure thing works. Ship it.

  This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.

  Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.

  The player interface is excellent. Being able to see who the actors are in each scene is one of my favorite UI features.

  I agree that finding a thing you want to watch is meh at best. Especially because they mix in rentals, purchasable content, and prime content all in the home interface window.

  That said, yo ho matey.

  It’s a lot. General “disappearance” of goods from any source is referred to as “shrinkage” or just shrink. It’s fairly easy to look up once you know the name.

  Off the top of my head, shrinkage typically ranges from 3-10% of inventory. Feel free to find sources and correct me.
