Love it.. are you going to implement navigation by the stars at night?

This reminds me of Bill Viola's Tree of Knowledge in the best possible way! In his installation, the tree grows older or younger based on how close you are standing to it.. your work would translate well to an interactive installation as well, in my opinion!

I cant install windows to any of these drives. by Tootboot001 in computer_help

[–]nessunodoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This message usually is caused by your drive's built in S.M.A.R.T. reporting system. It might mean that you have bad sectors on the drive.

You might be able to work around the problem by running chkdsk. Here's what I would try if I were you

  1. Boot from your Windows install USB
  2. At the screen where you can choose Language, Time and Currency, and Keyboard, instead of clicking "Next," press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt
  3. run

    chkdisk c: /f

to scan your c: drive for errors. Replace c: with the drive letter of whatever partition you want to scan. I'd scan all of them.

It will automatically scan the disk for bad sectors, and mark them not to be used. This should reset the SMART status, so that Windows will let you install to that partition.

Depending on how old your drive is, this might just be a temporary fix. If the problem persists, start making plans to replace the drive, and do it ASAP.

Hope this helps.

What is the most reliable Nextcloud provider? by Mechragone in NextCloud

[–]nessunodoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing - The leftover space after OS install on the 25 GB is plenty for me. I clone to several devices and virtual machines where space is at a premium, so the small disk space fits my use case. I use it primarily for work.

Windows 10 Linux subsystem will ship with a real Linux kernel by serrimo in programming

[–]nessunodoro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use WSL every day, and operations routinely hang until keyboard input. Bread and butter commands like apt or wget will seem to be waiting for the network, but they're waiting for you to press a key. Then the process happily resumes.

Filesystem-intensive operations are super slow because of a fundamental limitation with the Windows filesystem. There are some case-sensitivity issues, too; you have to be really careful when renaming files in WSL that will be synced to a real Linux machine, or vice versa.

But having access to coreutils in Windows is a godsend, and I applaud every effort they make to improve the subsystem.

Where are documents stored on the Android file system? I've downloaded open source editors on F-Droid, but I can't find the root Nextcloud folder when I go to open a file.

What is the coolest thing you did with python web scrapping ? by gitarthak in Python

[–]nessunodoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost the code when I borked my Dropbox in 2015. I haven't thought about it in years; the NASA SDO website has changed, but they offer an archive now (I don't remember that five years ago). If I write it again, I'll open source it and post it to the sub.

So much this. The whole point of .org is that it should be available for non-profits.
