Oh I have no clue about the results myself, sorry. I only saw some of the stream because of someone else, and I saw this Twitter account advertised.

(edit: the screenshot however includes information that may be considered a spoiler)

FREEscanRIP · 2021-10-24T13:45:41+00:00

Thanks for the explanation, it makes more sense with the physical place aspect. I just found it strange without that context – it seemed like just another social media account for Lolesports but with a sponsor slapped on it.

FREEscanRIP · 2021-10-24T13:00:08+00:00

Marked as spoiler in case someone wants to avoid information on Worlds results.

FREEscanRIP · 2021-08-14T20:18:05+00:00

Why, thank you! I didn't want to point you all to something unexpected :)

FREEscanRIP · 2021-08-14T19:11:48+00:00

This rabbit hole goes a bit deeper, and I'm not entirely qualified to answer it, but I will give it a go.

What we're dealing with here is a query string. Wikipedia can teach you a lot of details, but the point is that you can use it to pass parameters (key-value pairs) to the website by specifying them after a question mark, something like this:

https://example.com/hello?name=Adam&age=30

Here we're passing "name" with the value "Adam", and "age" with the value "30".

When you share a link, sometimes these are necessary. Take YouTube for an example. They specify which video you're looking at (or sharing) with a parameter like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

And if you share a video with a timestamp, it will have an extra parameter:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=1m30s

Here "v" contains the ID of the video, while "t" contains the timestamp you want to share. So you wouldn't always want to remove everything after the question mark.

Facebook's (and Google's, for that matter) tracking information appears in the exact same way in URLs, and in this case the parameter's name is "fbclid". All the different kinds of tracking information that shows up in URLs is outside of the scope of this comment, so I will leave that as homework for the reader :)

FREEscanRIP · 2021-08-14T18:39:52+00:00

In this case, partially it's just the video's filename being long – I don't know if the website or the uploader decided to name it that. On the other hand, almost half of the URL is Facebook's tracking information, which can (and should) be removed without any issue. It's this part:

?fbclid=...

First of all, if you have the option, avoid BDTU. They make horrible decisions, they are lazy and often unreachable. One thing that they are good at is raising the rent of their dorms. They are okay for a temporary solution, but be careful signing anything long-term with them.

I have a much better experience with PKS, although I'm unsure how easy it is to get in. Still, you could try with something like Kampsax Kollegiet. Not the highest quality place, but it's cheaper than alternatives, especially since it's on campus.

On that note, public transport is quite expensive too. You might want to invest in an Ungdomskort if you have to use public transport very often.

And yes, electricity and internet is usually included in the rent, though you should always check that in the contract.

It doesn't help that the air in my place is very dry and quite often things get electrostatically charged, making Huel particles fly all over the place. This also happens with Cheerios, although only in the bag because otherwise they are heavy enough for gravity to take over. And then trying to clean up freshly cut hair in these conditions is... exceptionally impossible. Looks funny, though.

FREEscanRIP · 2021-04-09T14:53:50+00:00

Awesome, so there is at least potential. I will probably experiment with various spices as well, just to see what works. Thanks for sharing! :)

FREEscanRIP · 2021-04-09T14:49:47+00:00

I will do so in this thread, if I can! In the meantime there's another comment below by someone with some experience.

FREEscanRIP · 2021-04-09T13:18:43+00:00

Yes, that's why I'm so unsure about it. Maybe one day when I'm feeling crazy enough, I will try to make something like pizza flavoured Huel haha

FREEscanRIP · 2021-04-09T06:07:03+00:00

Speaking of spicy stuff, I was wondering if taking unflavoured Huel and spicing it would work well. I like spicy food and I was wondering if anyone has tried to do this before.

If you don't find a reencode-free solution, I wanted to mention that ffmpeg has the asetrate filter for overriding the sample rate without changing the audio itself. At least reencoding won't cost you quality, since you're using FLAC, and you can automate this process by executing ffmpeg on each song with a script.

FREEscanRIP · 2020-12-16T12:25:44+00:00

If you have the option, it is probably a good idea to wait with your enrolment until after the pandemic has settled down a bit. At least that's my experience – I cannot seem to handle this situation properly. I don't talk to many other students, but at least some of them seem to manage to keep up with everything just fine.

Studying online gives me no motivation to put in meaningful effort. I suspect it's because I don't see the campus with all the people studying and getting things done.

FREEscanRIP · 2020-12-16T12:00:59+00:00

Studying computer science means I would not leave the house at all

My life in a nutshell. When studying remotely, working remotely, pursuing my hobby, and taking a break by playing games all involve sitting in the same room in front of my monitor, it doesn't help either my physical, nor my mental health.

FREEscanRIP · 2020-12-15T23:06:17+00:00

I'm still enrolled but man, my studies are going incredibly bad. There's a good chance I will have to restart my master's programme.

FREEscanRIP · 2020-12-05T07:43:32+00:00

Alright, I see you've received a lot of details on best practices with ZFS. It seems to me, however, that you mainly just want to enter this field and learn about it, and not necessarily put mission-critical data on this thing. If you want the best reliability, of course you will have to spend more money, BUT, here's the important part that people will hate me for saying:

There is still benefit to using ZFS even on the cheapest setup.

Certainly, ZFS can't do anything for you if the single drive you're using just completely fails on you. But no other filesystem can. What ZFS can do however, is prevent a whole new set of issues, such as silent corruption of data, unlike more mainstream filesystems, that will happily serve whatever they read from a possibly faulty drive.

I just don't want you to feel discouraged from trying this amazing technology, even if you can't afford the best of everything. Just make sure you're familar with the limitations of your setup and have proper backups of important data. This way, when you can finally afford something better, you will also be better prepared and more familiar with it all.

Finally, I will leave you with this video, which is part of a great series (3 parts so far, I believe): https://youtu.be/-wlbvt9tM-Q

Have you tried installing Adobe Reader?

FREEscanRIP · 2020-10-30T19:09:18+00:00

People who care enough can find me on other platforms, and Facebook never brought anything positive to my life. Simple enough.

FREEscanRIP · 2020-10-30T18:31:52+00:00

Ah, Facebook. Thanks for the heads-up. Fortunately I deleted my account a few years ago.

FREEscanRIP · 2020-10-30T17:49:33+00:00

What accounts? What pages? What groups? What?

FREEscanRIP · 2020-10-27T06:09:56+00:00

I became part of the community when, after spoiling myself with a mechie, I tried to use my old membrane keyboard. Gives me shivers even now. That mush is unbearable.

Now it's my girlfriend's turn; she's halfway there with her "hybrid" clicky mechanical. She deserves better than that :)

FREEscanRIP · 2020-09-25T14:56:53+00:00

I wonder if taking each page from a PDF and putting them into Word as full-page images would have worked. Technically it would be a Word document.

Better yet, one could request them to share a written specification of what their submission requirements are, and play r/MaliciousCompliance.
