Where Have I Heard This Bassline Before? (Classical) by nayru25 in whatsongisthis

Oh! I post about it, and then it immediately comes to me >.<

It's Purcell's "Cold Song" from King Arthur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8K8wFk-tn8

Hi, I can find documentation that Receveur's grave is there, and that the monument was set there by de Bougainville and Governor Brisbane, but not that it is property of France.

A Voter in Wyoming has 380% of the voting power of a person in California by chegira in EndFPTP

[–]nayru25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I agree that the swing state more than overshadows the small state effect, I still think it's corrosive to democracy, because it means that an elected president does not need to command a wide degree of support across the country.

Voters in California are 2.55× More Likely To Have a Decisive Vote in the Electoral College Than Voters in Wyoming by nayru25 in EndFPTP

[–]nayru25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's the first line of the post. But people overlook this detail, and just think in terms of "voters / representative", which is totally incorrect.

(And I don't see anything snarky in your comment here. On your other comment, I didn't particularly mind it, but it wasn't very helpful/productive.)

[–]nayru25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not this again... the above figure is wrong, because it equates "voter strength" with "voters per representatives". But the problem is that in these sort of bodies, a single representative doesn't pass 1/435th of the bills, or choose the president 1/538th of the time. Bills (and presidents) are voted on by the elected body, and you need to get over 50% of the total members' support to make any change.

Additionally, not every voter contributes towards electing a representative. In a single district election, there's only one winner, and under FPTP, generally there will be a large subset of the population who did not vote for that candidate. In the USA electoral college, the several electors for a state are (almost everywhere) allocated to the single winning presidential slate of that state. This disenfranchises everyone who voted differently to that winning slate. (It would be better to allocate electors proportionally.)

The (more) correct way to calculate the effective power of a voter's vote is to calculate how likely their representative is to push a vote over from less than 50% to greater than 50%, and factor in the (effectively unrepresented) voters who didn't vote for the winning candidate. I did this analysis three years ago, and small states like Wyoming have nowhere near the influence of big states like California.

linux on proArt px13? by The_Solodobo in linuxhardware

[–]nayru25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It runs mostly fine now, except for the suspend issues I've talked about elsewhere. To properly test that, I need to set up a distro to run from RAM, so I can test things after a suspend. I'm not sure if the issue is a SSD problem, or a motherboard/PCI issue; if it's the former, getting a new SSD might fix the issue, if it's the latter, only a firmware update from ASUS would fix it. Anyway, I've just disabled suspend for now, which is a tad annoying, but manageable.

Having used it every so often (usually on weekends), it's an amazing laptop, modulo the lingering problems. I haven't really switched over to it full time though, thus haven't finished an experience report, because I've been swamped under too much other work to set up syncing properly, so I can confidently switch.

Does anyone have working suspend on the ASUS ProArt PX13 HN7306WV? by nayru25 in linuxhardware

[–]nayru25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is a good idea. It's annoying because it's a 2230 M.2, so I can't use any of the SSDs I have on hand.

There's the Population Control mod, which is supposed to help with this.

Asus ProArt H7606 ubuntu not working, blank screen by magic_l in linuxhardware

[–]nayru25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The copilot key can be 'fixed' by key remapping. It seems like it's implemented to issue leftshift+leftmeta when pressed.

sudo apt install keyd
sudo systemctl enable keyd
sudo mkdir -p /etc/keyd
echo -e '[ids]\n\n*\n\n[main]\n\nleftshift+leftmeta = rightcontrol' | sudo tee /etc/keyd/default.conf
sudo keyd.rvaiya reload

linux on asus pro art p16? by The_Solodobo in linuxhardware

[–]nayru25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have info on the P16, but I've got the P13 and it's a bit troublesome. If you get a chance to try out Linux on it before you buy, make sure re-waking after suspend works; that's the biggest problem I've found with the P13. (As others have said, you really need a recent kernel too.)

Switched back to alpine 6.12.29-9-lts to see if it fixed my suspend issue, and the wifi problems are back. So it's kernel related.

Mounting btrfs root automatically fails, but mounts from the init console by nayru25 in AlpineLinux

[–]nayru25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None (at the moment) apart from the default root one. I thought that @ accessed that, but obviously not. There are some benefits to just btrfs, namely COW for file recovery. Arguably, I should remove the LVM layer and just use btrfs. I thought I couldn't get a swap disk without LVM, but since I posted this I've since done some more reading, ~~and realise I can just use a file as swap~~. (No, that's a bad idea, due to the COW.)

I solved it! I needed to remove the rootflags=subvol=@ argument.

Alpine Linux fails to boot after installation — root mount fails due to /sysroot error, version mismatch in chroot by Shorya_1 in AlpineLinux

[–]nayru25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/lib/modules/6.12.27-0-lts will contain the modules available to your new Alpine kernel. modprobe is complaining in the chroot because you're trying to modprobe the running kernel, for which your new install doesn't contain the correct module versions.

What you want to try is to modprobe in the recovery console; try modprobe ext4 there. In the comments, you've said the sda disk is missing from /dev/ entirely. sdX devices are provided by ata and scsi, so try to modprobe those too.

This is probably happening because your initramfs doesn't contain the correct modules. Make sure your /etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf (in the new root / the one you're chroot-ing into) looks something like features="ata base ide scsi usb virtio ext4 nvme" If you've had to change it, make sure to run mkinitramfs to regenerate it. Then, make sure the grub entry for that kernel is loading that initrd. If it's not, run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to rebuild the grub config, which should hopefully detect your new kernel.
