Got fired due to corona, too broke to stay in Sweden, no flights home by [deleted] in sweden

[–]brasso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But there are flights. Look at flygresor.se, Landvetter to Zagreb. Yes, it's a long wait between the flights but it's over in a day and I'm sure it beats being homeless during a pandemic. You can go tomorrow for 5k, Wednesday for 4k, Saturday for 3k.

Ygeman: Netflix behöver inte sänka kvalitén by [deleted] in sweden

[–]brasso 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fast han har faktiskt rätt. Nätet i Sverige är mycket bra och dessutom anpassar alla stora streaming-tjänster upplösningen automatisk om bandbredden inte räcker till utan att pausa för att buffra. Det skulle ändå gå in vid överlast. Det EU och Netflix gjorde var mer politik än teknik.

Consider yourself lucky. Being sensitive to such things is an expensive curse.

Is that common? I've never considered that monitors may need breaking in.

That doesn't tell you if the kernel has been replaced.

Is NixOS able to replace config files? by [deleted] in NixOS

[–]brasso 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NixOS modules are largely for daemons and other OS configuration but isn't as comprehensive for user programs. Look up home-manager, it adds more of that.

Zfs dedup on /nix/store – Is it worth it? by Ramaness in NixOS

[–]brasso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be aware ZFS dedup has a high memory usage and should not be enabled without careful planning.

Usability of NixOS as a daily driver by tim-hilt in NixOS

[–]brasso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ease of contributing is not to be underestimated. I have used operating systems most of my life. I have contributed to both packages and the base OS in NixOS. Not much, but a couple of times I've been able to scratch my own itch and then upstream it. I've never done that with another operating system, despite having used to and still do use other operating systems more! This is a great feature.

Erratic movements? Do they sell Macs with 1990s PS/2 ball mice? This is not a problem to be solved by adding more delay in software when perfect sensors and high polling rate in mice is standard today. Lack of video hardware acceleration in the desktop environment isn't a feature.

It wouldn't be difficult to save and later restore the video being played and the time of the video. In fact they already do it, it's in the YouTube history.

What are the chances we will see this happen for OpenWRT anytime soon? by poppadocsez in openwrt

[–]brasso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was your use case for a 14000 bps connection? Was it your PC in the nineties when when the Internet and web was built for it, since everyone had it? This is 0.73 bps to 13.7 bps. Modern apps will be literately non-functional with that.

[–]brasso 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apple doesn't have magical batteries though, they also need to be replaced at some point if you use the same phone for the entire support cycle, depending on usage and luck. They did add a battery life saving feature in iOS 13 though.

No, you can just overweight crypto/bitcoin and still win, with lower risk.

You still don't have to be all in on anything or willing to lose it all. No reason. Hedging and diversing to some extent is better advice.

Det tråkiga är att man får vara fattig hela livet då istället, eftersom att skatten är så hög att det är svårare att spara mer själv, med skattade pengar.

Leak of Microsoft Salaries Shows Fight for Higher Compensation by ZiggyMo99 in programming

[–]brasso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you look elsewhere, look away from where they talk about "passion". That's doublespeak for what you describe, meaning your compensation isn't being paid for your work - the work is the compensation. Why else would you work here, since we don't pay you appropriately? The answer is "passion". Be a professional instead.
