In my country, we can buy pre-paid credit cards in the supermarket using cash. I guess that is still traceable using supermarket security cameras and facial recognition, but if you’re attempting this, I’d make it as difficult as possible.
God’s, that’s beautiful!
Computers have ruled the planet for longer than the Greeks ever did. The history lesson is appreciated, but we’re living in the future, now, and the future is digital.
K/M/G/T/P = decimal prefixes. K is 1000. M is 1,000,000. etc.
Ki/Mi/Gi/Ti/Pi = binary prefixes. Ki is 2¹⁰ (1024), Mi is 2²⁰ (1,048,576), etc.
It’s a disambiguation of the previous system where we would use KB to interchangeably mean 1000 or 1024 depending on context.
The American way would probably be still using the units you listed but still meaning 1024, just to be confusing.
American here. This is actually the proper way. KB is 1024 bytes. MB is 1024 KB. The terms were invented and used like that for decades.
Moving to ‘proper metric’ where KB is 1000 bytes was a scam invented by storage manufacturers to pretend to have bigger hard drives.
And then inventing the KiB prefixes was a soft-bellied capitulation by Europeans to those storage manufacturers.
Real hackers still use Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera prefixes while still thinking in powers of 2. If we accept XiB, we admit that the scummy storage vendors have won.
Note: I’ll also accept that I’m an idiot American and therefore my opinion is stupid and invalid, but I stand by it.
The POSIX standard is more portable. If you are writing scripts for your system, you can use the full features in the main man pages. If you are writing code that you want to run on other Linux systems, maybe with reduced feature sets like a tiny embedded computer or alternates to gnu tools like alpine linux, or even other unixes like the BSDs, you will have a better time if you limit yourself to POSIX-compatible features and options – any POSIX-compatible Unix-like implementation should be able to run POSIX-compliant code.
This is also why many shell scripts will call #!/bin/sh instead of #!/bin/bash – sh is more likely to be available on tinier systems than bash.
If you are just writing scripts and commands for your own purposes, or you know they will only be used on full-feature distributions, it’s often simpler and more comfortable to use all of the advanced features available on your system.
Well, yes, it was something beautiful and amazing and we all loved it very dearly, or we wouldn’t be so passionate about what management has done to it and continues to do to it.
Not gonna lie, Data breach sounds like a violation of one of Geordi’s crewmates.
I think that’s a cool idea, but I don’t like it for unixporn. I always feel the *porn communities are just what you’re seeing – people sharing their pretty thing. Maybe they give details, maybe not. Maybe they interact and chat with the community, maybe not.
I also looked at Excalidraw, which while being web app, runs reasonably well on Android. But some of the functions either don’t work at all or I’m doing something wrong. I was able to import a photo and trace it, but couldn’t find a way to export just the trace outline.
After you trace the photo, can’t you delete the photo from the canvas and just save as SVG? Won’t it save just the trace if that’s all there is?
Yes, driving trains is becoming more and more important as we find out how terrible cars are for the environment. We should protect the profession fiercely!
There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.
In North America, the driver of a train engine is called an “engineer”, yes.
Honestly, nobody should call themselves an engineer unless they literally drive trains for a living.
I don’t know what Train AI Tools are, but I’d be ok with them if they had the temperament of Thomas the Train rather than Blain the Mono. How do we know which Train AI is buying our data?
Yeah, why would I engage with that sort of disingenuous nonsense. We’re talking about cell coverage. Area matters. Period. Full statewide 5G coverage may be possible in a tiny state, but it starts to get bad and then abysmal as states become larger and are mostly rural.
No, but I know what state I’m in. You’re not in Alaska or Texas or you wouldn’t be making these fantastic claims, so by process of elimination, you do not live in a larger state than I.
Yes, my state is far larger than yours, so that may be a difference. We only have 5G coverage in major cities and along interstates.
This is the way. I started on Obsidian, and Logseq is painful in comparison. It’s a good product, but I got accustomed to too many nice conveniences over the past couple of years.
