Should I use a rolling distro?
  • Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?

    I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.

    Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I've found.

    If you're not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.

    If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there's a bad one. That's how my arch laptop is set up.

    Personally wouldn't use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there's something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.

  • Handy temperature conversion scale.
  • I do actually wish I could have a decimal place on my truck thermostat. 20 is always too cold and 21 too hot in the winter. And if I change it to F for the increased resolution it'll change my speedo to miles and shit. Damn future.

  • Are EVs in cold countries still more energy-efficient than gasoline in the winter?
  • Yeah I don't know a ton about EV's because I need to be able to drive 500km+ on a tank for work and life out here. Be kinda cool to have one as a work truck someday though be handy to have that much power available for running things.

  • Are EVs in cold countries still more energy-efficient than gasoline in the winter?
  • Gasoline works better in cold climates than diesel. But once you get around -20 to -30°C and colder all vehicles will need an engine block heater to start reliably. The oil gets too thick.

    And the batteries start to freeze if they have a slight drain. So lots of the time if you don't run your vehicle for a week or two you'll need a new battery because the lead acids freeze and are ruined when their voltage drops.

    I think it will be tricky but not impossible to mitigate the effects of extreme cold on battery life. All the cabin heat is made by the EV battery anyways right?

  • Is this man a magnet for accidents at sea?
  • I mean I doubt it. But if you're in the ocean you probably have more of an incentive to keep that going since it could be your ass pretty easily.

    But I imagine big enough vessels are tracked by coast guards in lots of areas.

  • Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?
  • So apparently they changed the law in Canada in 2012 and now for noncommercial sharing you could be held liable for up to 5000$ for all works not per work. Commercial is per work. So I doubt anyone has been got for non-commerical. But I do know they come done hard on commercial sharing.

  • Help finding right moisturizer
  • O'keefes working hands are what I use. Doesn't leave me all greasy, doesn't have and smell I can notice and definitely helps with dry skin. I just use it on my whole body.

    Edit thought I was on an ADHD sub and not skincare but I still think its worth a go. Also get the stuff in a tub they have some in squeeze tubes but its not as good.

  • Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?
  • Don't condescend to me. I understand the link between government and capital and am not an american.

    What are you even proposing anyways? I am against government oppression and copyright law in general. All private property is theft from the commons. But in the meantime I will use a VPN because I trust Mullvad in Sweden more than I trust my own ISPs.

    If I was committing crimes that were more serious then I would not use a VPN I would use a more robust security model.

    My ISP is not powerless without government. They have massive power, they control 1/3rd of all cellular and internet communications. And like I said also control large amounts of satellite TV and cable broadcasting.

  • Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?
  • Well there are only three isps here and yes I understand what you are saying but. It never gets as far as government force it doesn't have too. The ISP will drop me.

    Also the ISP is the media company lots of the time, and its only a crime that will go to court and win if I made money distributing copyrighted material.

    I don't want my ISP to know much about what I'm doing either. They aren't trustworthy, they often get caught illegally shaping traffic and such too.

  • Did you ever think that maybe all VPN services are actually secretly owned/funded by governments and that they are only giving you a false illusion of privacy?
  • I use a VPN to stop work camps I stay at from knowing what porn I watch, to stop media companies from sending me copyright infringement notifications, and to stop public wifis from having as much info on me.

    Its all about threat model. If you're concerned with government actors then you need to be more secure than just a VPN.

    My countries intelligence agency is not working with media companies like that. The cops and courts would eventually enforce some order against me if it ever went to court but more likely is my ISP just ditches me as a customer if I get too many strikes.

  • What kind of pride flag IS that, anyway?
  • The goal is not zero hierarchy necessarily but that all hierarchies should be justified as necessary, limited in scope, and voluntary.

    Like if we're sailing on a boat in the ocean someone has to be the captain and call the shots so that quick effective action can be taken especially in emergencies. However once we get to port we should be able to elect a new captain if the current one is a being a dick.

  • What's an IT profession that is realistically possible to self-study for and become proficient enough in to get employed within a year?
  • Theres also serious though niche demand for people with trades knowledge and IT skills too. Plus knowing how to automate all your reports is always helpful.

    Things to consider if you have that IT kinda mind and don't mind playing in the mud. Instrumentation and Controls Technician, always need someone who can mess with comms and networking bullshit. And im some places can get into automation programming, called mechatronics sometimes? HVAC/building automation technician. Industrial electrician focussing on trying to get into commissioning and PLC programming/automation.

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants
  • You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren't a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.
