What they say for horses is that if you’re going to walk behind one, stay just behind it. That way if it does decide to kick you, the legs won’t be able to build up momentum and will be mostly vertical before hitting you. Under no circumstance walk 1-2m behind it, you can die if it hits you in the head.

Apply at your own risk to cows.

In Swedish we spell it text.

European here, I suggest Bosch or Electrolux, if that’s available in your part of the world.

Jeans in the dryer? They’ll definitely shrink that way.

Word. First thing that gets installed by me on any windows install.

I have a 10 year old Canon MP280 still going strong. It’s one of the ultra cheap ones, I believe originally sold for something like 20$ at a sale. The only problem it has nowadays is that it occasionally makes some ink blotches in a corner of the page.

separate processor with hundreds of cores

Well, graphics rendering is very suited for parallelism. That’s why GPUs were invented.

Most other tasks are not. Most of the cores in a 128-core JPU would end up being unused. Also why JPU? It’s not like it’s significantly different from a normal CPU task.

They meant the command dtrx, the combination of dtrx as parameters to tar make no sense. Extract AND append?

Then comes a .tar.bz2 file along and you’re screwed. xtract je vucking file?

Pro tip: -z, -j are not needed by tar anymore since many years, tar will autodetect what compression was used if your distro is anything remotely modern.

Look up preemptive task scheduling. Basic processes will get interrupted after using a too long time slice.

Is there a 6502 backend?

Thank you, I was very confused what an image file format had to do with it.

Yeah it’s many years that I haven’t had to specify z, j etc.

Re: the image in this article:

Why are these QFP chips through-hole? Looks like the bastard child of QFP and DIP.

Hmm you need to download some more RAM

That’s why we use Linux, free software and no cracks

Did something similar recently. Turns out rsync by default, if it encounters a symlink to a directory and it’s instructed to copy a directory with the same name, will remove the symlink and create an empty directory.

So I had a script that installs crosscompiled kernel modules via rsync /path/to/nfs/path /

This worked perfectly until Debian 12, like other distros, decided to merge /usr, so now /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin. First time I run the script after upgrade /bin gets replaced and then no programs can be started as all binaries look for /bin/ld-linux.

I managed to fix it by booting into busybox and recreating the symlink, but it took a while until I figured out what was wrong, wasn’t familiar with usrmerge.

There’s another aspect than size that I feel people overlook: security updates. When e.g. libcurl is duplicated in a million places, how do you update them all when a critical security issue is discovered in it? Who will update all the random flatpaks, snaps and docker images that happen to include it?
