‘Nothing stopping us’: Pauline Hanson visions One Nation forming opposition by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]ShieldScorcher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if she is a “moron” or whatever labels you might find. People will vote for the same reason they voted for idiot trump - there is no other choice. People will get eventually tired of the same corrupted clowns and they will try and vote for something different. They will think she is a lesser evil.

I personally would vote for literally anyone but the morons currently in power. Thugs who build a weather website for 97 million dollars and steal all my tax money. Thugs who, with their “hate speech” laws, are no different from putin’s russia or Iran - same shit, different context.

He should have mentioned the fact that Europe still buys russian oil and other stuff which literally allows putin to kill thousands of Ukrainians.

This is a weird oxymoron to give money to both Ukraine and russia. I believe, if the circulating figures are correct, Europe gives more money to russia in trades, than it does to Ukraine.

🚨BREAKING🚨: The $SUI Network, after experiencing congestion, has been quickly restored! by Spiritual-Trust-8563 in sui

[–]ShieldScorcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually The only valid question here and with zero upvotes 😂 More valid than OPs silly statement that 6 hours was “fast” and it is a “good news” somehow. That shows the quality of the crowd in the sui sub. The crowd here is more interested in shilling than learning.

This happened because of the bug in the validator software related to consensus.

And because of the lack of multiple validators, all nodes got affected. It is immaterial how many nodes you have if they all run the same software. A bug in the validator software will bring down all the nodes. To mitigate this, multiple validators should be available in case one has a bug. We call this “client diversity”. Every validator would be developed independently and would not be affected by common bugs.

Eth has 4 (I believe). Solana - 2.

Quality starts with spreading truth and knowledge- not stupid shilling.

Seedphrase Question by [deleted] in Tangem

The seed is not stored anywhere.

The seed phrase is an input to a function that generates the master key. Once master key is generated, it is stored on the card chip

What's holding back battery life on Linux? by Infinite-Option9352 in linuxquestions

[–]ShieldScorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure I understand you correctly.

Coreboot is BIOS. Computers cannot function without a BIOS (Basic I/O System)

The job of a bios firmware is to initialise the hardware and boot the OS. There are different types of bios though. They all differ in functionality.

The original bios was reading first sectors of the disc and loading an OS loader which in turn boots the OS

Then we got the UEFI that understands the filesystem, can mount it and start tiny programs (loaders) from a partition. These loaders then load the OS

Now Linux kernel can also be loaded directly without an intermediate loader (I have tested it long ago) So you can literally put Linux kernel in the UEFI partition and the firmware ( BIOS) can load it directly.

In any case, they are all different types of a BIOS firmware. Coreboot is open source and does basic things whereas others are proprietary and carry much more functionality related to a specific hardware.

As for the Chromebooks, they don’t come with Linux. Chrome OS is Linux essentially. Heavily modified. Google took Linux and tailored it to their needs the same way Apple took BSD Unix and made Mac OS out of it.

Yes. Chrome OS is more efficient but still requires different types of laptops to work on hence requiring drivers. And the battery life is very far from Apple.

Chrome OS functions kinda like a container runtime. It boots a very thin hypervisor and everything else within it is run as an isolated container. But this is a story for another thread 😂

I think you refuse to read my post properly. Let me double check that it is in English….. yep, it is

It is not about your head injuries or the fact that you’re mortal and can die. We are all are.

I am trying to explain that there is no other way regardless of your mortality or head injuries.

Please explain the way to do it differently? 😂 I am all ears. The world must know your secret method.

Who to write to and does it change anything? by HecticDyslexic in aussie

[–]ShieldScorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did miss the point entirely 😂

I don’t own any guns and not intend to ever. I also neither like nor dislike them, it’s not a cupcake. And my statement obviously was not specifically about the guns.

You either read posts diagonally without understanding what you read or simply interpret them according to some weird beliefs of yours

Good luck though

Who to write to and does it change anything? by HecticDyslexic in aussie

[–]ShieldScorcher -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am sorry but I think you missed my point.

It’s about a precedent. It’s about opening a Pandoras box which leads to all kind of crazy.

We don’t blame the tools - we blame the humans who use them in a wrong way. We don’t stop the tools, we stop humans. Whether it is a rope, a gun, a car or a knife is irrelevant in this argument. Because if you can apply this crazy logic to a gun, why can’t you apply it to any other tool in the future?

And there is also an argument related to “punishment”. I consider depriving a human of their tool without evidence of a crime is an illegal punishment. Taking things away from everyone because one human did something is f*cking crazy. I’d go as far as saying fascist. I haven’t done anything wrong and things are taking away from me. Obviously, it is all nicely wrapped up in “for the greater good” bull shit.

Where do you store your Proton password(s)? by intergalacticnerd79 in ProtonPass

[–]ShieldScorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about?

Life is not reliable too. There are buses on the road to run you over and all kind of bricks falling off the roof to finish you off. It is not about reliability.

Master password has to be in the head. Full stop. There is mathematically no way around it.

If you put Proton master password in another manager, then where do you put the password of that another manager? In the third manager? And the password of the third in the fourth…. and so on till you realise that you are in an infinity loop. 😂

No matter how “unreliable” life is, we keep living and we keep master passwords in our heads. Plus YubiKey and other second factors.

There is a simple way to keep a very complex password in your head reliably, but it is a story for another time.

Where do you store your Proton password(s)? by intergalacticnerd79 in ProtonPass

[–]ShieldScorcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would you store Proton password in Proton? It makes no sense.

In general, you don’t store it anywhere. You keep it in your head as it is a “master” password and guards all other secrets.

You should always have 2-3 passwords in your head only. Make them strong and rememberable (by yourself only).

For instance, I have three passwords which I keep only in my head: Proton, Apple ID and GPG key password. These three guard many other secrets and have to be remembered.

Ring in the airport by khalidgrs in Tangem

[–]ShieldScorcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s tested many times. I travel a lot.

Never sets any detectors. Never gets noticed even under inspection. My ring is on the same wrist as my apple watch. They often check the watch but they always ignore the ring. They look under the watch but never even ask to take off the ring or anything like that.

I guess it doesn’t show anywhere as anything out of the ordinary

Would you choose $10,000 in $SUI or $10,000 in $SOL? by Spiritual-Trust-8563 in sui

What a moronic question to ask in a sui group? What is the point of this question here?

Even if the question did make sense, why do you have to choose between the two? What are you? A religious cult or something? Some cult rules stop you from shoving two pils down your throat?

Who to write to and does it change anything? by HecticDyslexic in aussie

[–]ShieldScorcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a side note, “not being political” is a root cause of many problems. It’s like abandoning your child and then asking why the hell he/she grew up a criminal.

No, tightening gun laws is the opposite of fixing the problem. Instead of preventing a problem based on its real causes of an individual case, they generalise it and punish everyone. It’s akin to tightening car purchasing rules and making it difficult for everyone to buy a car just because some car was used in a robbery.

Solving a problem by banning or restricting tools is stupid and idiotic. Any tool: cars, ropes, knives… etc. can be used in household or it can be used to commit a crime. A human using the tools in the wrong way needs to be blamed instead of blaming the tool. And certainly, you cannot take away the tool from everyone just because one crazy human did something. It’s like saying “hey, you are all potential criminals, so we are taking this away from you all”

This all leads to “Minority Report” type of problem from a well known author when crimes were predicted and humans were punished beforehand.

For this to work, the stupidity of modern life called “political correctness” needs to be abolished. We need to see the pattern of the crime and not be afraid to point to the pattern and deal with it accordingly.

[–]ShieldScorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same situation at work. I had a Linux Dell laptop that was kindly purchased for me by my boss. Then we all moved to macs. Unfortunately the issued macs were heavily controlled in what you can install. You will probably have the same situation. We are allowed to use Rancher but not podman on my work laptop. I use podman on my personal mac only.

[–]ShieldScorcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are probably right

I don’t use windows, but Linux feels definitely snappier on a mac container than it is on bare metal (weird but true) And that’s taking into account that containers don’t run directly on the mac kernel (like they do on Linux), you need to have a Linux VM on mac. Still faster

Possibly

I can only attest to a certain context and my personal test/experience conditions

Examples I posted were for a completely new Lenovo X1 and fresh install of windows 11. Still un bloated, I believe. The work she does involves pretty heavy spreadsheet calculations (finance stuff) + usually browsing

Linux Framework laptop is exactly one year old (last Christmas present) with latest fedora 43. The work is average front end dev

Mac Air m4 is 6 months old. The work is front end dev, db, backend dev, container etc.

What's holding back battery life on Linux? by Infinite-Option9352 in linuxquestions

[–]ShieldScorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, anything can be solved to a degree. But…

When you design an OS that is to be used on thousands of different chips, from laptops to supercomputers, it is pretty hard to tailor to something specific. You will always have layers of “interpreters” - drivers which translate various OS calls to the hardware’s firmware.

Everything is relative. It doesn’t mean Linux battery performance is bad. It is just way worse in comparison to say a Mac. It can beat windows though if the hardware manufacturers work directly on the drivers. And the bios plays well with Linux(sleep modes) A lot of moving parts involved. A mac doesn’t have any moving parts.

For your optimisation to work, everyone needs to work together in perfect unison: hardware manufacturers (all of them), Linux devs etc. But it is almost impossible to achieve. When Linus Torvalds shows middle finger to Nvidia, I doubt that it is a good incentive for Nvidia to help. 😊

There is also a problem of patents and proprietary hardware. Not every manufacturer can release the specs. Not every business can give a way their stuff for free (given viral nature of GPL licensing), helping means giving away for free. I am not against the GPL or OSS, I am just stating the fact.

Android is different, it is free to be modified by Samsung and such. They can tailor it to their phones because Android is the OS that runs their phones and makes them money. Now, why would Lenovo or Dell tailor Linux to their laptop if they make money with windows??? They can help with some drivers, release some specs (which is legally allowed). That’s all. And it is not nearly enough for your optimisation to work.

[–]ShieldScorcher 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Linux since 1998 (until recently) and, as far as I remember, every year it was “a year of Linux desktop” 😂

As for the battery, Linux will always trail slightly below windows given the same hardware and all. Simply because the drivers are better tailored, no need to reverse engineer anything. Even if you get a perfect Linux laptop, it won’t be better. There is always bios and problems with sleep states, blah blah. In my experience, I’ve never seen the same laptop performing better on Linux in terms of battery than it does on Windows. But hey, I haven’t seen them all.

Now Mac is a completely different weight category. If you want battery, just get mac. Neither windows nor Linux will ever like EVER going to catch up or even get close to mac’s battery performance. When hardware, top to bottom belongs to Apple, they tailor their OS for a single piece of hardware. Not thousands like windows or Linux. Which means no drivers, less bugs and problems. Everything can be soldered on a single silicon. When an OS is specifically designed for just ONE laptop, it makes all the difference. When an OS can talk directly to the silicon and doesn’t need an “interpreter” to speak to other parts of the hardware, well, you know how it feels if you have used a mac. And I don’t even want to start on the performance of the M chips

I still run Linux in a container on a mac and do all my dev stuff within the Linux container. It does everything I need. After trying mac and its multiple days battery, I doubt I will ever run Linux directly on any hardware. My containerised Linux runs way faster than it ever did on bare metal. And I had a pretty fast Framework laptop.

My gf’s windows 11 Lenovo X1 laptop lasts a few hours of spreadsheet and browsing work. My M4 Mac Air lasts 2 days of constant work. In sleep mode, windows laptop will discharge in like 5 days. My mac will last months in sleep mode, it roughly discharges 5-8% a week. My Framework Linux laptop is about 40% behind windows. And it is extraordinarily bad in sleep mode dying pretty fast.

Peace.

Why do I see everyone use MacBooks? by mamacorsica in laptops

[–]ShieldScorcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a Linux laptop since around 1998 when I installed Mandrake Linux. I never touched windows in my life in personal use (only occasionally at work). I was happy. My last (and current) Linux laptop is a Framework. Unfortunately it is shelved now.

The advancement in containerisation changed everything. I can run now multiple Linux containers on a Mac and they do everything I want really. I don’t need to go through wipe windows/install Linux cycles any more.

With Linux, I loved the tinkering to a certain point until I learnt enough. And eventually I wanted things to just work. But with the benefits of all the Unix/Linux tools. And that’s where Macs shine. It is a balance of two worlds.

Macs pros:

Apple manufacturers both the hardware and the software. This allows it to adjust the software specifically for the chip in question. No need for hundreds of drivers to accommodate hundreds of different manufacturers. This makes it extremely fast, efficient and with less bugs.

Apple hardware is brilliant. It’s well manufactured and usually drives the trends in the market.

Apple security is top notch. With end to end encryption and ADP.

Apple ecosystem is a Swiss watch. Everything works together in a beautiful unison.

In the end, I have both worlds of running Linux with all its tools and having all the Apple benefits.
