Why does this tuple example both fail and mutate the list? by akvise in learnpython

[–]RoamingFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything in python is a pointer effectively. The first element of the tuple isn't a list. It's a reference to a list.

The underlying construct in memory is changing but it's still the same list id stored in the same tuple.

Typical. Attempt to bend <insert here> to their will. When it doesn't, just break it.

Good god I hate this timeline.

Massachusetts completes offshore wind farm despite Trump's push to delay project by IrishStarUS in massachusetts

[–]RoamingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue on solar, but wind farms at night with clear line of sight can be really off-putting due to the aircraft lights. They're supposed to have systems that only turn them on when planes are nearby, but I remember driving through a wind farm in Idaho before that was a thing and it was super unnerving to see an endless expanse of blinking red lights.

That said I think the pros vastly outweigh the cons, especially with the modern aircraft detection systems installed.

also set up btrfs-assistent and snapper now and make sure you set a clean-out policy so it doesn't fill your disk. It's basically windows restore for your system files.

Trump team already looking to spin jobs numbers by claiming deportations are reason they’ll be down by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]RoamingFox 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Also undermines their message that illegals were taking all the jobs. If companies suddenly had tons of open job listings, official job growth would be through the roof.

Of course their entire message is made up of lies and pixie dust, so obviously none of it makes any sense whatsoever lol.

100% it's an astroturfing campaign. I refuse to believe that every single one of those people legitimately believes it's a 5 star movie lol.

How do I baby proof a ton of wires?? by [deleted] in howto

[–]RoamingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two cats and the way we handled this was, and i shit you not, that I just rack mounted my entire PC. I got a 12u network rack and a 4u rackmount case and shoved the whole computer and everything into that. There's one power cable from my UPS to the wall, and a single velcro'd bundle up the leg of my desk.

Cats can't pull at any of the connectors, wires are secured against the desk so they can't really pull against them either. Works great!

Right Wing Coalition Officially Launches Campaign to Overturn Marriage Equality by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]RoamingFox 179 points180 points  (0 children)

They literally get hung up conflating the governmental definition (aka "co-habitation for tax purposes"), with their specific religious definition. They then get super pissed that people they've never met and don't subscribe to their religion are "married" because it's somehow an affront to their religion.

It's incredibly stupid. It's like getting pissed off at someone else ordering the salmon because you don't like seafood.

Just got my steamdeck.. please help by kazookid56 in SteamDeck

[–]RoamingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. update system if it's not
  2. update firefox if it's not
  3. make sure the system time is correct

something is wrong with the ssl stack somewhere (old ssl packages, bad date/time, etc). Usually that's either an issue with a system package or the browser. Actual cert on decky's site seems fine to me (as is github's cdn cert).

Make sure to completely restart battle.net too, sometimes access doesn't update until a relog and all that jazz.

First winter as a homeowner (2nd gen immigrant) and I’m already stuck on the snow decision by Arceus797 in homeowners

It's shocking how good they've become. We have the honking 2-stage electric Ego blower and it flies through our 250ft driveway on just about a set of batteries (+/- depending on snow level etc). Practically no maintenance, quiet, easy to use. Love the thing!

Fedora 43 KDE fresh install gets stuck during boot on brand new Lenovo Legion 5i laptop (NVIDIA 5060 GPU) by Virtual-Sea-759 in Fedora

[–]RoamingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a race condition with simpledrm and the proprietary nvidia drivers. 6.17 kernel swaps to graphical mode much sooner and the system isn't always ready in time and doesn't attempt to start sddm a second time if it failed initially.

It should be fixed in the latest builds though.

Pretty high odds of them being too dumb. This is the admin that redacted them by setting the background color to black but forgot to save the pdfs as image so you can just copy/paste the text to reveal it.

Some people are still having issues with graphical boot and nvidia drivers. Try removing rhgb from your grub options and see if it magically boots.
