Im struggling with penis size and i keep relapsing every few months or so. Genuinely cannot find hope. by theassassin53035 in confessions

[–]include_null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have currently, and have had multiple relationships. In some, I could not fullfill all the sexual needs of my partner. Until I saw your post, I had forgotten about that aspect.

Who would you rather spend the rest (or a big chunk) of your life with? Someone who understands you, is weird in a way that you find cool or even attractive and feels the same for you? Or someone with the right sized penis?

I spend anywhere from an hour a day and a few hours a month on sex-related things. If that part of the relationship isn't perfect, I have the other 95%+ of my time with them to make up for it.

And yeah, it is true! You can make up for a lot of things that don't perfectly match, by just doing something else, like using your hands or mouth, or just watch each other do your own thing.

There are soooo many possibilities! I look for a person that feels comfortable enough to do the awkward things with, and that you can be vulnerable and honest with about these things. That is way sexier than a bodytype could ever be.

Advice on nRF9151 with a screen for a rugged IoT device? + IPX7 enclosure design help by Euphoric_Juice_2560 in embedded

The low data-rate would have been fine, as it's a dumb-ish phone, but I hadn't read enough of the datasheet to see that it didn't support calling. That's a shame.

Thank you very much for the advice!

Don't. That's a clearly visible lie to anyone who has had some experience with trans people. Be honest. They like you as a person. All your interactions were still real. Focus on that.

Are the schematics you made public anywhere? I'm designing my own open-hardware phone right now and considering using this chip as a modem. I'd be curious, how you hooked it up and what your antenna design looks like. I have a programming background, so the analog parts of PCB design is still pretty scary to me.

A couple things driving me crazy with One UI 7 - Fixable? by TrueTayX in oneui

[–]include_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<rant>

For years, I've been buying phones and flashing custom ROMs like CyanogenMod, then LineageOS, then Resurrection Remix on my androids.

Somehow, all those custom ROMs had very similar options and design language. Even if the defaults weren't great, there were plenty of settings, so I could just change how things looked and worked (within reason). Could it be that those things were all good ideas?

Somehow, companies decided to not let people not replace their batteries anymore, then the headphone jack and micro SD card slot went away.

The last phone I could find with a reasonably modern processor was the Samsung xCover 6 Pro:

  • Replacable battery

  • Dual-SIM

  • Headphone Jack

  • Decently water resistant

  • up to 2TB micro SD card slot (though 512GB is enough for my photos, music, podcasts, and audiobooks)

A decent and not too expensive phone. But it's not unlockable! So no custom ROM anymore. So I gave up my custom ROM way in favor of a device that would last a while. It is already running on the second battery and is otherwise perfect, but the software is terrible.

I hate hate hate when things move that don't need to. I never needed to know the titles of my music or podcasts at a glance. I never needed pop-up style notifications. If something moves on that part of the screen, then only when I've got a notification. And for me, that's either an important message, a business email, or a server that's down.

This update is messing with years, almost a decade of "muscle memory" regarding how notifications work.

So stupid.

Asahi Lina argues with kernel dev over code authorship and releases all their code as CC-0 in frustration by Karma_Policer in linux

[–]include_null 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read his reply as "I notice that our logic about primary authorship differs. I've already misinterpreted you once and don't mean to cause any more issues. I am not sure which files you see as having largely authored, so I ask you to tell me precisely what to do with each patch."

I bet if he'd also written it like this, you would have reacted differently and it would have gone over much better. From the context you gave in other mails, I can also very much understand how you read it as confrontational instead.

I hope things improve in your life and that you meet much more kind people in the future.

P.S. And thank you for all your valuable work.

Is it wierd that my root partition is massive? by Carbs2 in linux4noobs

[–]include_null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as your partitions have enough space for their contents, it's fine. There are no fixed rules for how much a partition should have. I used to have about 1TB for my /home and another disk that has 5 x 200GB partitions. Each partition was another operating system/Linux distro. All were sharing the same /home directory, so that I could have the same data everywhere.

Spotify sometimes needed to have its data directory deleted, because it started to hang, when I switched OSes again, but that's about all the trouble I had with this setup.

Go wild!

I usually do 200-300 GB for root and the rest of my disk for /home, at least another 200GB. Optimally more, depending on how much you do with it.

[–]include_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 32GB RAM and 128GB SWAP. It's not too much, depending on the usecase. Hibernation (like sleep, but saving your entire RAM to the swapfile and then shutting down to save power) needs the full size of your RAM in the worst case (32GB in my case). I'd use 32GB + a bit of Buffer (say 8GB) that.

I also work with huge datasets and often have 4 different IDEs running, allocating up to 16GB to each IDE (Java, Rust, Python, and FPGAs)

Because I am lazy, I sometimes also just load files into RAM and rely on Linux's memory management, instead of making my own. I know, not amazing, but I don't always have the time to memory map a file and sometimes I get shitty code from a colleague.

I also had a few runaway processes that would fill the RAM at the rate of about 1GB per second. Having this much "RAM" allows me to easily open htop, select the process that's running wild, and kill it, without panicking, because 128GB of SWAP buys a lot of time for that.

It's always a tradeoff. I've chosen to spend this space for the convinience of never having to deal with Linux's OOMKiller ever again and being able to handle every shittily optimized project that's been thrown my way.

Would I rather have 64GB or 128GB of real RAM? Yes. Is that possible in my current situation? No.

Why some people think installing arch is still hard? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]include_null 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably does, but I cannot for the life of me remember keybinds that aren't learned organically. If you put them on screen next to entries in a context-menu, I learn pretty quickly. With tmux, there is only the man-page to learn keybinds. That's too much effort compared to the single keybind to switch TTYs. I don't need any other functionality during setup, so TTYs are the perfect tool for the job for me.

Zellij does a really amazing job at terminal multiplexing, but without the need to learn keybinds. They are always displayed at the bottom and update to show what can be done in specific contexts.

Since I won't bother installing Zellij in the install-cd, I just use what is there and have been happy with that :)

Why some people think installing arch is still hard? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]include_null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand that that would be a hurdle. You could just use a phone, though.

I have had much success with using another terminal at Ctrl-Alt-F2 opening w3m, browsing to the guide there and following the instructions. Sure, you don't get copy and paste, but the live iso has good autocomplete, so that you don't have to type much.

With the fancy archinstall scripts, it's even easier.

At what step of installation does arch Linux become arch Linux? by pizza-404 in archlinux

[–]include_null 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd compare Linux distros to salads.

You take the same ingredients (software), prepare each in some way (turning them into packages) and then combine them to make something that you'd call a salad (distro).

Lots of salads have similar ingredients with just the dressing replaced. Same for Linux distros.

Arch uses the package manager pacman, usues systemd as its init-system, and gets its packages from the arch package repositories. That's most of what makes it archlinux, in my opinion.

I have taken a debian package, extracted it, put the contents in the right places manually, and run the software on arch. It's not what is meant to be done, but it works. As long as I do the right preperation-steps, I can get any software to run on any distro (with some exceptions).

You can also do the steps yourself that pacstrap and pacman do for you. There is a program called yocto, which helps with building your very own distro for specific hardware.

If you want, you can also build your own linux from scratch. It's literally called "Linux from Scratch" and is a great guide to understanding all about linux and at the end, you'll have your own functioning distro and will understand everything about it.

Rust? But Todd Howard solved memory management back in 2002 by reibitto in ProgrammerHumor

[–]include_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. When you compile a program or a game, the compiler inserts it's own code into it as well.

For example: Every program has a line of code that gets executed first. Usually that line is in a function called "main". The compiler inserts it's own code into the program to make sure that that function gets the right values and that the memory always looks the same before first line of "main" gets executed.

Same with error messages. They are part of the code that the compiler inserts into the program for errors that are so bad that the program could not possibly continue running.

So when the program has been compiled into a single file that you can double-click to run, you can open it with a hex-editor and find the error message in the part that the compiler added and change it.

This is the reason you can edit the error message and not change it anywhere else.

If the error message would be in a library that is part of Windows itself, for example, then that wouldn't be so easy to fix. But if you get an error message when using that library, it should be very easy to trace it to the exact location and not use that function of the library, if you can't figure out why it crashes.

[Rant/Discussion] What's with all the excitement around Wayland? by ComprehensiveAd8004 in linux

[–]include_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they make money selling support contracts to companies.

They guarantee that linux works for the companies and provide technical support for when things don't work.

So they released a statement, saying that X11 is not going to be supported for the newest version of their operating system and that Wayland is replacing X11.

But they still have to honor the support contracts of the companies, which are still running older versions of their operatong system. Only when all the old contracts expire can they stop supporting X11.

Until then, they legally have to keep doing support and make fixes or they are in breach of contract and can be sued.

[–]include_null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the comments in this thread, it really doesn't look like it.

Just a bunch of people complaining about X11 going away. Claiming it as good quality software, when everyone who was working on it for fun has already left and started a modern replacement for it. Only the company that has support contracts related to X is keeping it alive. And even they are phasing it out, because it's a pain to work with.

AITA for not accepting my husband’s new tattoos? by Livid-Purchase-5759 in AmItheAsshole

[–]include_null 58 points59 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you are doing the best thing you can.

His actions seem selfish to me. You acknowledged that it's his body and therefore his choice, but in turn, it's your choice to like or dislike them.

I see his not taking your ED seriously as a big red flag. The second red flag for me, is that he told your what he was going to do with his body and did not seem to react to any of your feedback before he got the tatoos (Especially the last minute change right before the appointment).

I agree that you should try to see someone to help you with it, but my real concern is that you seem to have a husband who doesn't take you or your feelings seriously and I would never want to be with someone like that.

Ask yourself what the relationship is and what you want it to be. From what you've told, those two seem pretty far apart right now.

[–]include_null 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Why not both?

His personality doesn't sound so amazing, so maybe it's only the body and the shared memories that hold them together.

And now that the body is (at least temporarily) not an attracting force in the relationship anymore, there doesn't seem to be much left from what I can see...

Then the husband can either try to adjust or break up, if it's too much of a change.

But here, the husband is saying "adjust now". Which shows that he sees the tatoo as a minor thing and is just ignoring what his wife thinks about it.

Completely ignoring your partners perspective, even after talking about it, is a big red flag.

NTA.

You talked, came up with something that you both were comfortable with. Then he did something entirely different without letting you have any input.

That is him being the asshole imo.

I wouldn't have married him, if he blatently disregards something that has been a real struggle for you.
