I always assumed that it was to quickly delineate what people say in their capacity as a citizen vs what they say in their capacity as a representative of their government.

“Sarah Carter, from the Canadian embassy, says to avoid the all-you-can-eat buffet” could be interpreted as a personal opinion. “Canada says to avoid the all-you-can-eat buffet” is clearly an official statement.

Plus, sometimes the news may be reporting on a memo or announcement from a government entity which was crafted by several people and has no author listed.

Programmable condoms which make the user look like a bad dragon dildo.

I once had a directory in /tmp called etc which contained subdirectories for something I was migrating.

I thought that I was in /tmp when I ran rm -rf etc… I was actually in /

I really enjoyed the Witcher 1. What really sealed it for me was the questline

It beat the pants off of anything from Witcher 2. I also prefer the alchemy system from TW1.

I dislike that TW2 is basically half a game until you replay it. I’m all for branching paths, but compared to TW1 and TW3, TW2 felt way too short.

Forbes 30 under 30 huh?

Reminds me of something…

Me getting my identity verified by Nigel the porno photographer because he’s an upstanding gentleman

“Yeah, I’d know that asshole anywhere”

It would be interesting if the ring ever made its way onto DS9 and into Quark’s hands. Everyone would wonder why he’s obsessing about a ring made of worthless gold.

Alternative solution: They collect a sample of lava from Mt. Doom and dump it on Bag End.

The one ring is sitting on the transporter room floor

“Mr. O’Brien, beam it into the fires! Destroy it!”

“No”

I think this is probably more a copy of various East Asian social media services than anything Reddit-like. Pretty sure TikTok and a bunch of Chinese video streaming services already do this. I think the whole Money -> Gifts -> Rubies -> Money chain is intended to dance around money laundering legislation. The same way that Pachinko machines aren’t technically considered gambling in Japan.

Also, what is “Harry” short for?

Harold?

The problem isn’t just that people are making AI slop: It’s also a problem that Zuck has seen the engagement that this trash generates and realized that it’s good for Meta’s metrics. They’re never going to do anything to stop it if the alternative is that investors might realize that Facebook is a rotten log.

If you’re doing activities outdoors: Always bring an extra bottle of water. That is to say, bring a bottle to drink, and then another for when you get thirstier than expected. This season is relatively cool, but you really don’t want to be caught unprepared. Also: Arizona has a law requiring businesses to serve water for free if you ask. Don’t let anyone bullshit you and ask for money.

Keep an eye on the weather reports, and do not hike down washes, ravines, or narrow canyons if there’s a rain storm anywhere nearby. Heavy rainfall several miles away can turn a sunny, dry ravine into a raging torrent that can kill. If you see a road that’s currently flowing with water, don’t try to cross it, even in a big car. You don’t know how deep it really is, and even just a few cms of fast water is enough to sweep a person off their feet and drown them. It doesn’t take much more to get a car stuck.

If you’re going to Northern Arizona, bring warm clothes. People can be caught unprepared when they leave Phoenix for a day trip and it’s 60⁰F, but when they get to Flagstaff 2h later it’s snowing.

If you see a Jumping Cholla:

Don’t get too close. Their spines are longer than they look because they get so thin as to be nearly invisible.

Just from a quick glance, you might want to check your client-side GET request: Ask yourself what happens when the file is larger than your packet buffer? Use the debugger or print statements to confirm if your expectations match reality. It might help to do some testing with a really tiny buffer (eg 5 bytes) so you can step through your 21 byte payload easily. What happens when your buffer is smaller than the DONE packet? If your implementation is correct then we would expect that even a 1 byte buffer should work in all cases.

I see a similar code pattern in your server-side PUT request, so if you can solve it for one half, you should be able to fix both.

Look up the GPU on these charts to find out what codecs it will support: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

NVENC support will tell you what codecs your GPU can generate for client devices, and NVDEC support determines the codecs your GPU can read.

Then compare it with the list of codecs that your Intel can handle natively.

If that’s elephant garlic, then it’s the wrong amount. That shit is 3x the size with 1/10 the flavor. Fuck that, I’ll peel a whole head of normal garlic myself.

If you want to move your containers to a different location, look into configuring docker’s data-root: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24309526/how-to-change-the-docker-image-installation-directory

You copy /var/lib/docker to a new location and update /etc/docker/daemon.json

I will say: Moving data-root to an NFS mount isn’t going to work well. I’ve tried it, and docker containers rely on filesystem features to run their overlays. On an NFS, this feature isn’t present, so your services will duplicate the container’s entire filesystem. This will tank your performance and is basically unusable for anything but trivial examples. Docker data-root basically needs to be a “physical” disk.

I’ve had no issues using NFS shares mounted as docker volumes. It’s just the data-root where it’ll fail.

If you’re doing it from scratch, I’d recommend starting with a filesystem that has parity checks and filesystem scrubs built in: eg BTRFS or ZFS.

The benefit of something like BRTFS is that you can always add disks down the line and turn it into a RAID cluster with a couple commands.

Did you replace your SATA cable when you installed the new SSD? Maybe the failure is there.

It’s similar only in that it’s about a “Great man” remaking a society in collapse.

Really none of the themes are there. Nor is there any journey of discovery to understand who Caesar is, like you get in Atlas Shrugged where other characters learn who John Galt is.

Galt is “Self interest and belief in my vision will make society better”. Caesar is “McGuffin building materials and belief in my vision will make society better”. For all its flaws, one is at least a political statement, while the other is milquetoast hopium.
