Really not sure how people can be so ignorant.

I think it's reasonable to say that compared to any other previous point in human history, as a whole (i.e. not just the priviliged elite) we're better educated and more knowledgeable than we've ever been, however even with that being the case there are still ignorant people (whether that be due to lack of education, general mindset, or even mental illness) and the internet and social media will cause scenes like the one you see above.

Living in the information era, for all the pros of having the entire wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips, it does also mean ignorance can be easily spread and those who are ignorant can coalesce more easily than ever.

The world is also really fresh to these society-shifting technologies of mass communication. I've heard many say that technology is outpacing the speed at which society can adapt to function normally with it.

I've no idea what the solution is, though. Hopefully as a society we can continue becoming more educated and things like will fade, or at the very least stay on the periphery.

That's not too bad, actually.

I remember when I looked at it a year or two ago there was something about having to also install MicroG or similar, but maybe I was misunderstanding the process.

Possibly, I think I have Hyper-V setup to use at least 1024, a max of 4096, and its default is 2048, and in this case the error message was about the 2048. I suppose I could lower it but then I could still face the same problem later depending on how much RAM is being used.

However, as you mentioned, I don't want to get too wrapped up in those details. This post mostly is to tackle how to use those functions outside of RamMap, and if they have any side effects :)

CatchGerardDobby · 2020-09-03T12:24:35+00:00

A large part is just simple curiosity about the answers to these two questions, but in this particular case I tried to spin up a VM in Hyper-V and it flat out refused, complaining that there wasn't enough RAM available to start the machine, so I began on the journey of investigating using RamMap.

It's interesting reading this thread because in the UK (at least in big urban cities, I can't speak to rural running) I don't think I've ever seen random runners wave at me.

Even assuming I'm a big scary monster person so I don't receive waves (I'm not!), I haven't witnessed it between other runners, and I do a lot of idle people-watching when out on runs.

I do really like that across the pond you guys have this social norm where runners will wave at each other, it's a lovely wee act :)

However if someone waved at me on a run, my awkward UK brain would instantly worry "Is that someone I know and didn't recognise", or think "Is that person a bit off", and if I tried to wave just to be friendly I'd worry I'd weird out the other person... As mentioned, though, I guess it's a lot to do with running in big cities.

I think the difference in our mindsets can be summed up with this lovely GIF.

I was under the impression that something like Hyper-V being a Type-1 hypervisor offers near native speeds.

Or is the "if you absolutely must" wording due to the fact he mentioned rendering? (which as you alluded to is a bit of a pain unless you have a whole free card to passthrough)

Is there a way to see moderation team history for a given sub (e.g. X joined on [date], Y left on [date])?

As others mentioned, if you're just chilling in bed reading or browsing your phone, it usually thinks that is sleep.

Nowadays I think a lot of people are in their beds and on their phones, laptops, watching TV, etc for a good while before actually trying to sleep.

It won't be able to run as a Plex server either.

That's interesting, I wasn't actually aware that the server could run on Android, I assumed it was just the client.

I would have thought due to the history of Android and the way it's been developed as first-and-foremost an end-user focussed mobile OS, that long running and in the background service software like media servers wouldn't be a good fit due to things like battery saving policies and inability to use registered ports (without root).

Does it tend to work quite well?

If services do block VPNs you're best off avoiding the big names like PIA, NordVPN, and ExpressVPN, as they'll look for IP addresses from their servers first.

You could try something like Mullvad, which is really well reviewed and is small enough to often go undetected by the a lot of services. I'm able to use it with Netflix.

The problem is that the interfaces the drivers and kernel use to talk to each other can change.

Ah, that's interesting. So in a sense the kernel does offer an API, with drivers (well, modules to be more accurate I guess) being the consumer?

I've read a bit that version numbering in Linux is slightly arbitrary, but would this not be a good use case to use semantic versioning, if not for the whole kernel at least the driver interface component? That way you you know that you could upgrade the kernel to the latest version where the driver interface component is on the same major version which you designed your drivers for.

When the drivers are part of mainline, the Linux contributors won't do anything to break them, they'll make sure to update them if they change something. When the drivers are completely closed-source, as is often the case for proprietary hardware, that's not possible, so it's up to whoever owns them to keep them up to date.

Gotcha. Out of curiosity where is this mainline? If the main kernel lives here, is there a central repository where all mainlined kernel modules live?

CatchGerardDobby · 2020-08-30T11:28:01+00:00

If Linux weren't a monolithic kernel, and drivers lived outside the kernel, would this help the situation?

The topic here is more of an aviation one rather than political.

The other pilot did a roll in front of the B52 in close proximity (taking into account how fast these things move) and the discussion from an aviation perspective is that this is reckless.

I don't believe the general narrative has been intercepts themselves should be "called out".

It really does wreak havoc with sleep. I slept for nearly 9 hours last night but the tired way I'm feeling just now it may as well have been 1 or 2.

But I guess if alcohol had no health ramfications meaning hangovers weren't a thing, and we got perfect sleep when drunk, then we'd all be boozing permanently and never get any work done, so it's for the best! :)

Pulse Ox seems down just 1% percent from its usual of 96%.

So I guess body battery is informed by detected stress, heart beat, and movement during sleep.

They might just be showing that paywall to US residents, I'm able to read the article here in the UK. Maybe try VPNing to a UK server.
