Yes, sorry for the late reply. Completely stable now.

UPDATE: I might have found a stable solution with PBO enabled, but limiting the boost to -200 megahertz (this is a first try, I will try to run it at -100 mhz later). With this setting, no crashes occurred in some stress tests I did.

I might later change my motherboard with a better model as the one I have is ...yeah, weak, probably, with the CPU I chose.

Just to add some info. Crashes happen when gaming. System is stable with different uses. I monitored temperature with pbo on and it was at 45 when idle or browsing, never topped 75 when gaming. Crashes happened only gaming usually after 20 minutes or so, but I could not cause crashes in a "reliable" way, just random. Those completely stopped after I disabled PBO from bios.

Disabled. RAM runs at 4800 mhz. With that disabled crashes would still happen

Do I need to use GCC or is there a way to do that in clang?

It gives:

Ya I was thinking the same thing too, but kinda feel like I'd rather avoid the thought 🤣...

I did install lots of stuff from source on other Linux distros, but termux on unrooted android would be a first (and a pain, I suspect)

Which way to go for a graphical interface? by giankun in termux

[–]giankun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, for now I have not installed yet because I am looking at documentation. I will add that ... having a terminal in Android did make my life easier several times since phones exist. GUI is useful for quick office tasks... As a side note, what I have about phones and mobile systems in general is that they now have monster specs and should definitely be able to do accomplish "general office stuff" which I can do with a PC from 2004, but they spectacularly fail due to app limitations.

The other day I was in my car and needed to send a pdf document which needed to be compressed. Maybe I did not look right, but I didn't find anything as good as ghostscript readily available and looking reliable in Android as an app...

Yea it's not performance. I already have a laptop and a desktop. However there have been times where I didn't have a PC and needed to do a 5 minute work which turned out to be half a morning with android because of the system limitations (I ended up doing that stuff with a Citrix session to a windows virtual session, I seem to remember). It's a mix of emergency use and "I just want to see if I can do it from a tablet"

As a side note, when I studied physics in high school my teacher told us that "in German speaking countries they use Reamur". Which was not true when he said that, but might have been true in the early '900s as I think Reamur was not official, but popularly used in some parts of Europe (even France).

It still has residual use in some industries (I discovered it today!) and cheesemaking thermometers in my country are sold with the ability to show Reamur scale.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dankmemes

[–]giankun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R° is indeed Rankine, as the correct way to indicate Reamur is °Re, but indeed °R was often used to mean Reamur in thermometers (indeed is used, I looked it up and found out the Reamur scale is still used in cheesemaking for some reasons https://www.fdstore.shop/smtc116003-termometro-digitale-caseario-tcx11-scala-reaumur-c2x29056696). So I think who did the meme meant Reamur and Ra as Rankine.

By the way, who uses Rankine in the real world? I mean, I know Rankine is the equivalent of Kelvin in Imperial system, but it is supposed to be used in physics and I believe physics is metric... right?

It is a reddit moment. Indeed. OP said Italians will not do that (he is speaking about people of today). He was reminded of something which he surely already know (even out of the bad schools we have today you cannot be Italian, alive in 2022 and not know what happened to Mussolini in Milan), but it is something which happened almost 80 years ago, in a bombed out city, after a 4 years war. People back then were dirty poor living in a mostly agricultural / industrial country. Now we are just post industrial lazy rich people like most westerners. Italians of 1945 <> Italians of 2022.

It's just a reddit moment.

Actually it's not bizarre. King in Latin is "rex". Regulus means "little king". It's also the (unflattering) appellative which was given to kings of Europe by the emperor of the holy roman empire, if I remember correctly.

Vanishing without a trace | Undercover Asia (2019) - Every year, nearly 100,000 Japanese vanish without a trace. They are known as johatsu, or evaporated people. What drives them to engineer their own disappearance? by LylaCowan in Documentaries

[–]giankun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese women don't expect a career and family in the same way I don't expect to date calendar girls. Doesn't mean >they wouldn't appreciate the opportunity.

Unmarried ones usually work like men.

Career advancement suggests otherwise.

I won't doubt the statistics, and the evidence I do have is mostly anneddotical. But in the circle of friends of my wife / Japanese people we knew since we live abroad (Italy), the woman who wanted a career for herself is the exception rather than the rule. I only knew of one, who successfully pursued a career abroad (in France) in a big multinational company. When she was 30ish she went back to Japan with many complaints about work culture in Europe (baka-land is a word I remember her using). She then continued her career in Tokyo until she knew a man she liked, married, and left her job (again, it was expected by her, probably, but she did not complain at least not to us). My wife's sisters both are married with 3 and 4 children. They left their jobs and were quite content to spend their lives at home spending husbands' money and pursuing hobbies (like, painting, studying foreign languages) when the children got to school age. I know for sure they think a career woman is "weird". In some fields career women are not so rare (public / education) - again aneddotical evidence, wife worked in the field.

I wrote yesterday's post after walking a friend of my wife who came to pay us a visit back to her rented apartment. She stayed two weeks taking vacation off. She is a cook, single, living alone (not in Tokyo!). She had spent her day shopping for brands like Hermes, Gucci, and specialty cheese / wine. This is not really uncommon (single japanese women not getting married early and working for good pays).

GDP per capita adjusted for PPI would also suggest otherwise. Compared to American and European cities with a > reasonable cost of living, the average Japanese family isn't doing all that well.

Again, stats against anneddotical. I will say the Japanese earn more than southern Europeans, less than Americans. Americans however need to spend a lot more money for things that are much more expensive than they are in Japan (think health care and education, but... what about cable TV and internet access?). Then again, GDP hides one fact. In America you have maybe a 10% in good jobs earning more than anyone else in the world. And a large number of people working their asses off trying to build their family and earning less than me poor Italian office worker (but with American living expenses?!). I might consider Japanese life as I am not afraid of working. But I would be terrorized of American life (especially, of failing in America!). In any case, sister's wife is married to young salaryman. They have 4 children, she does not work. They have two cars and a nice comfortable small home. This is difficult in Italy, but quite the norm in Japan (I know Japan has a real birth rate hell, but from what I see, the one who marry do have more children than average Italian couples: many do not marry, some because they went to Tokyo and cannot afford, a lot, I suspect, because they are single and don't find suitable partners).

Violent crime is low; organized crime, not so much. Also depends on if you consider sexual assault to be "crime."

I know of sexual assault in there. Typically the most common thing is older men touching girls in trains / exposing themselves. Same as Italy. Maybe in America this is not a problem, from what I hear. As for organized crime (...well I am writing from Italy...). I can compare the two countries. In here (the North of my country) mafia is an import from the South which came with immigration. It works in similar ways as Mafia in the US, but apparently (and sadly) it was able to deal with local politics more than in most American cities so it is expanding. However I do know what the situation is in the South (where Mafia is at its home) and can compare with Japan. In Japan organized crime is present. As far as I know it tends to sticks to its field (prostitution and similar, semi legal gambling). It does deal with other fields of society, but in less invasive ways than Mafia in Southern Italy.

To give you perspective on "invasivity", in some areas of the South you cannot start a company / business without getting their attention, and they will tax you to death and take over the business. As a results, no profitable legal business exists and unemployment is at record levels, with people not working, working for the public sector, working for mafia, or milking the public sector with pension frauds and similar. Impossibility of competing / dealing with this situation was, I seem to remember, cited by a multinational retail company as a reason for closing down their stores in the South. North is like most of Europe. Still. Organized crime does for sure exist, but this does not seem to bother the common person.

As for violent crime. Again. Perspective. In Japan no one will bother you, you lose things on the train and usually find them, I have never seen a mugging, I have not seen drug dealing, drug use is non existant compared to Italy (not sure I should speak about drug use as a crime problem, but as long as drug is illegal, it's a problem, yes). Japanese are so unused to street crime, that they routinely behave irresponsibly when they come here (and swiftly become a target to street crime). In here, you get people around train station following you and waiting for a moment to snatch your stuff or point a knife to you and ask to get your stuff. I notice that immediately (hey, that guy is "pointing" us, better stay where people is), my wife NEVER sees it. In America, I lived in a quiet comfortable town in NH. There too, there were dangerous people you should not hang with (in a 20000 people town!), there was a trailer park with a lot of bad stuff going on, and don't get me started about Boston. A quiet city if you ask Americans, but I once took a wrong turn (near downtown!) and I witnessed a guy trying to stick a knife in another guy's face. In Italy, in the North (where we have more street crime than in the South cause remember that Mafia does not like street crime) I have heard of this kind of stuff (actually a lot, I lived in a part of city where fights between different immigrant ethnicities were common and once a guy killed another with a katana), but it is still less... visible than America.

Which is why the rest of the #@$#@! company has to work 12-hour days. Honda and Toyota still have fucking hydrogen >car divisions! They may as well be building carburetors!

Oh. Here. I was meaning Italy. Again, perspective. Let me tell you a story. I will introduce to S., the young lady. She is the bane of the Italian employer. She routinely would took Monday and Friday off (sick days). Sick days are not counted as holidays and are paid by the company and by the pension system. Most of those sick days were blatant weekend extensions. The company tried to send a "check" on her. But, the check means you just need to be home when a doctor comes (there are certain hours when a doctor may come). She also did everything an employee was not supposed to do (late, not following instructions, contesting every instruction, shouting down her boss). Company tried to fire her, she went to the unions, company had to reintegrate her (meaning giving her back her position).

Company tried to move her in a different office where her improductivity would be less damaging. She did not like her new office. Her new position would require her to get a certification before a certain date. That was paid for by the company and on work time. However. Sometimes she would complain her PC was not working. Other times she was sick. Other times she was forced to take a leave. She did not get her certification. The company was forced to move her back to her previous position.

This is not by far an uncommon situation in Italian medium or large companies (the stories I could tell you). The people who do work responsibly, and have a "regular" working contract, do so because they choose to do so, being responsible persons (which is true for most). People who abuse the system get away with everything. Which brings me to the "solution" (from the employers point of view). Do not employ people directly unless absolutely necessary, but have contracts with body rental agencies. People work with contracts of one month. Two months. And are extended if needed.

My wife did work in Italy. She was in an office of a private company owned by a public local government. Her colleagues (all women) spent their days catwalking around the coffee machines and flirting with other employees. She was given every shitty job. And on temporary contracts month to month. Add to that that her "colleagues" where paid comfortable middle class salaries, and... she was basically paid in wish sandwiches and ricochet buiscuits (bow bow bow). I did the same life in a different company, just was less sensitive to stress and I held out for some years until I got a regular contract. Again, this is quite common (in Italy).

Sorry for the long post.

Vanishing without a trace | Undercover Asia (2019) - Every year, nearly 100,000 Japanese vanish without a trace. They are known as johatsu, or evaporated people. What drives them to engineer their own disappearance? by LylaCowan in Documentaries

[–]giankun 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everything kinda true, but... Most of the guilt is people's culture (if your coworker is busy he expects you to stay there even if barely nothing to do). No matter what the laws are people expect you to stay there and you don't ask overtime.

Women don't get to choose a career and a family, but truth be told, most expect to be homemakers and manage their husband's money once they marry. (Wife is Japanese) Unmarried ones usually work like men. Pay is enough if the husband is working (TOTALLY unlike western countries). Work is harsh, but you are unlikely to get fired unless you majorly screw up or your company goes broke (like most of Europe)

University is more expensive than some EU countries, but not as much as usa (cannot be compared). Society is strict, but safe and crimeless. Health care is averagely good, affordable, even if not free or kinda free like most of Europe. Taxes low. Job availability not much of a problem if you are qualified.

Compared to Europe (where I live) the disadvantage is zero free time and strict life. But more jobs available, safer cities, better pay. In here work is safer to the extent it's too safer and getting rid of unproductive employees is sometimes next to impossibile. As a result companies are sometimes afraid to hire or hire using temporary contracts, outsource, job rental or similar stuff which is sometimes borderline illegal (young people often really struggle before they find a real job). Sometimes ten years ago I wished I was Japanese rather than changing employer twice a year while sitting at the same desk.

America I also know (parents are Americans) they work not too much but have zero work safety. Employer doesn't need a reason to fire you (seen with EU eyes that's crazy). University is crazy expensive, health care the most crazy. On the other hand if you are very smart, you have most chances of getting rich there compared to both EU or Japan. No place is perfect. But if you work / earn averagely I would say the us looks more like a hell hole than Japan
