  • I highly recommend the novels.

    My dad reading "Moominpappa at sea" to me one chapter a night as a bedtime story, is seared into my mind.

    You might start with book 7. "Tales from moomivalley" as it is a collection of short stories, one of which is "The invisible child"-story that was adapted for the TV series. It's essentially a story about child abuse, as it tells the story of Ninny, a girl who has ceased to be visible. She was abused by her guardian to the point she wished she'd cease to exist, and that is essentially what has happened, as she can be neither seen nor heard.

    The Moomin family take her in and begin her recovery, by bascally being kind to thin air.

    The other books follow a loosely chronological order, and are full-on novels.

  • It depends.

    Modern SSDs come in various types. Ones that store multiple bits per cell, do so by using multiple charge levels to represent multiple bits. Instead of one and zero, there can for instance be four different charge levels to represent 00, 01, 10, and 11, allowing a single cell to store two bits.

    That makes a cell much more sensitive, since a smaller change in the charge is required to change the stored value. As opposed to an SLC cell which would simply be empty or charged depending on whether it's storing a 1 or a 0.

    Good SLC nand should be able to store stuff for a decade just fine, if not longer. This is what'll be in any decent USB drive, as they're intended to spend the vast majority of their time unpowered.

    QLC nand uses 16 different charge levels to store 4 bits per cell. That means a 1/16 change in charge would start corrupting data. PLC is in development, and will use 32 levels to store 5 bits. This'll be in your budget multi-terabyte SSDs.

    Temperature also plays a role. The nand cells will lose charge at different rates at different temperatures.

    You'll want to consult the specs of whatever drive your looking at. The variance is huge. From some drives needing a firmware level "data-refresh" that's constantly keeping the data from disappearing (people seeing bit-rot was a problem with some drives back when TLC first became common), to stuff that's fine for decades.

  • That's a coinflip.

    The HDDs in my dads home server have outlasted the CDs he burned back in the day.

    That's not to say HDDs are a safe option, either. You won't know whether a drive is going to last a year or ten until it fails.

  • I would try to somehow order it in france.

    Having the EU plug on the actual charger is just nicer, but more importantly, the warranty is longer.

    The power adapter accepts 100-240V, and the same one is used worldwide. They just put different plugs on it (you can see the seams if you look close).

  • Great!

    If you want Sunshine to run and stream the game at the deck's resolution, you'll need to add a "Command Preparation" entry to set and unset the resolution and framerate requested by the Moonlight client on the deck.

    Mine look like this:

    sh -c "kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.hdr.disable; steam steam://open/bigpicture; kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.mode.${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_WIDTH}x${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_HEIGHT}@${SUNSHINE_CLIENT_FPS}"

    sh -c "kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.hdr.enable; kscreen-doctor output.DP-1.mode.3440x1440@165; sleep 3; steam steam://close/bigpicture"

    The first one disables HDR (colors are wrong on the deck otherwise), launches big picture, and sets the main monitor to whatever resolution and framerate is on the client end.

    The second re-enables HDR, sets the monitor back to its native resolution and framerate, waits 3 seconds for the resolution change to finish, and then exits big picture. (The wait is so that the normal steam window doesn't get placed weird while resolution is different)

    You can modify these commands and test them in a terminal before setting them up in Sunshine. You can remove the HDR toggle since you're on x11, and you'll want to check what the ID of your main monitor is, for me it's "DP-1".

  • Something I really appreciate, as an adult, is how Moomin stories tricked me into learning things about the real world as a kid.

    The Moomin world is simple and fantastical, but something it doesn't do, is dumb down real problems.

    "The invisible child" is a top one for me. In it, the Moomin family takes in Ninny, a child who has gone invisible due to the abuse of her guardian. She canno't be seen or heard. In the Moomin world, making someone feel like they should disappear, can actually cause exactly that to happen.

    By showing kindness to what is essentially thin air, the Moomin family slowly help her recover and become a person again.

    Tove essentially wrote about child abuse, at the hands of adults, no less, in a way that even kids can understand.

    Her stories concisely make points about decency, respect, and kindness, in such powerful ways that I feel they effortlessly implant in you the desire to be a good person.

  • No. The novels were for all ages. And they still got into heavy subjects, with an introspective and thoughtful tone. The books use the environs of a fantasy world to tell stories about real-world problems like identity and love.

    When looked at through the lens Tove's personal life, each book fairly clearly explores thoughts and feelings she would have been dealing with during that time in her life.

    The newspaper comic strips were for adults, and often took on political satire and caricatures. They feature a far less serious and more comedic version of the Moomin world.

    You should think of the two as completely unrelated projects.

  • That's a weather scientist that tagged along with the Moomins.

  • Yup. Sentient. Talking.

    And happy to be rid of her husband.

  • Just tried it on my arch system, works. Not sure what's wrong for you. Nothing sticks out in what you posted.

    But like the other guy said, you should use Moonlight/Sunshine.

    Better latency, better picture quality. I was able to set up AV1.

    Plus unlike steam, you can set it to run things at the decks screen resolution. Using steam I get giant black border's because my desktop is an ultrawide, but even on 16:9 you'll get small ones, since the deck is 16:10.

    I can tell you more about setting up Moonlight/Sunshine if you want. I have it configured so I can remote into my PC in big picture mode, and then I just use my deck to play whatever.

  • Streaming services allow people to watch whatever they want at any time. This is mom cooking each kid their own dish.

    But that's less efficient than cooking one meal to serve thrice.

    So now streaming services are realizing there's money to be saved by not offering every series and movie ever made.

  • Except that companies are the one's literally purchasing labor.

    Framing it the other way around paints a world where a corporation is doing individual humans a favor merely by existing. When in reality, it is being enabled by workers providing their labor. At least for now.

    It's a trade. Where one side is providing the literal time people have on this earth, and the other is a corporation that produces whatever it produces. Or consumes, even.

    The latter should literally never be the one with an advantageous position. It exists to server human interests, not itself. It simply can't be worth more than the actual lives of people.

    And before you go "sure it can be" I'm not talking about how capitalism turns everything into market-defined value.

    The way the author of the article thinks about this stuff is not just out of touch. It's sickening. And people like them are why modern society regularly tramples over real lives for the benefit of imaginary value.

  • To be clear, they created new packages with these names. Anyone can make anything available on the AUR, but you cannot issue updates under someone elses existing package name.

  • To be clear, when projects distribute their software via the aur, someone else can't just issue an update using their package name.

    This person appended "fix" and "patched" to appear in searches next to legitimate packages, and seem worth installing instead.

  • Absolutely.

    The Arch User Repository is a way for anyone to easily distribite software.

    Hence it has never been secure, and rather than claim it is, you mostly see people and documentation warn you about this, and to be careful if using it.

    Any schmuck can make whatever they want available via the AUR. That's how even the tiniest niche project can often be installed via the AUR. But you trade in some security for that convenience.

  • TBF, they can be fooled too.

    Bitwarden warns against using autofill on load for that very reason, as then simply loading a malicious page might cause it to provide passwords to such a site.

    And then, a human when a site doesn't autofill, is more likely to just go "huh, weird" and do it manually.

  • The ONE time dad answers one of his questions honestly.

  • Here’s why: AI is reshaping the labor market. Official employment numbers might look steady, but anecdotally, the job market feels different, especially for early-career workers. It’s shifting from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market, and employers are noticing.

    Is... Is this written as if employers are the ones selling? As if they're the one's "producing" jobs for people to "buy"?

    Wtf!

  • Reminded me of this thing I did with google assistant back when it was just a chatbot you had to deliberately access to use.
