Totally switch to a terminal first like you suggested and see if you can work your way from there. My suggestion goes after yours. Always try to fix the running system first.

It’s probably wise to check man pages and other introductory documentation for most system administration tasks. Even though they’re super low-level, they are in my opinion better to send than just pulling the power plug.

Even with a frozen system you can often still ensure data is written to inspect on the next boot. You may have a key labeled SysRq which likely needs an Alt modifier to trigger.

Alt+Shift+SysRq+s to sync data to disk. Alt+Shift+SysRq+u to unmount the disks. Alt+Shift+SysRq+b to reboot the system.

Execute them in that order.

This can help ensure the data about the mishap is written to disk so it can be inspected after the forced reboot. I also check the logs in /var/log but I suppose all of those are in journalctl too these days.

Interesting map. Any idea why right is split as

center -> center-right -> right -> far right

and left split as

center -> left -> radical-left -> far-left

Is there a different shape in the parties’ identity and stance or is this due to translation perhaps?

Oh you will suffer in the best way possible. You like the Slimbook now but in five years something will degrade, like the battery. You’ll think about getting a new one and you’ll look forward to it but nooo, you will not get a new one. You will look online and there will be parts available and you’ll repair it. Then you’ll need more disk space or ram so you’re hoping to get a new one but nooo, you will upgrade it. And then something will break and you finally see the part is not in stock so you mail them just in case but instead of an automated reply you’ll get a real response and they’ll get you the part you need. Sure, replacing a glued keyboard is a bit exciting but turns out a lot can be replaced. Not sure how old mine is but I like it, it just keeps running.

You can have a mesh-like network with auto switching between endpoints on Flint 2 too. I set it up here over the weekend with a clean OpenWRT flash. Even managed to keep IP addresses the same so no worries for any home automation.

It takes some clicks or commands to get there. A wired connection would be nicer but you can use wireless network mode Access Point WDS to create a wireless backhaul too. Fast roaming is supported so I think it behaves similar to mesh.

Multiple VLANs should become a thing for this network in the future.

If these motors are also light, then they could be interesting for motorcycles or other light vehicles. Less losses means less cooling is necessary which may mean no external cooling system has to be fitted lowering complexity and weight.

TL;DR: Chains are better in tough conditions like mud and are easier to repair. Belts are great outside of these conditions.

First staining and then applying a lacquer is a great idea. Will the lacquer not fill the cuts and make them less visible? Or does it keep a depth effect?

Anything in particular to look for in the lacquer? I’d prefer a natural look to fit with the raw wood in the rest of the piece. However, it sits on a glass bowl so I suppose glossy could have its charm on that too.

Good idea! Also like the_v said, it could help to contrast the shapes in the cut.

I thought of using a limited tint so it would blend with the other untreated wood nearby, but a darker color could make the shapes stronger. It also tends to make the wood’s internal structure stand out more.

It won’t be on the soil, it will become the lid. The terrarium will be sealed for water so the bottom will become a paraffin wax which should keep the moisture out. The top will gradually collect dust though and the thin lid ideally shouldn’t bend too much.

Tung oil could be nice.

I’m afraid varnish will fill the voids too much and make the tiny cuts fade.

Yeah, I can hear it that way too. Thanks for sharing your interpretation.

I guess I’m not so triggered because it looks like the movement is towards change from the current system rather than violently overthrowing it. I hear it as “the current capitalism is bad”, somewhere she calls it industrial capitalism. “People can’t afford a house over their heads” sounds to me like a goal to make that happen. Perhaps she has a different view on what afford means than I do because it indeed doesn’t need to mean possess.

In today’s sensationalist tendencies I half expect people to make quite extreme statements to express even the smallest desire for change.

If I looked at the video and interpreted in the most positive way, I did not hear that.

I understood taxation should be distributed differently in her view, the resulting funds should be distributed differently, and that people should be able own a house and have food. She clearly wants shared housing (but that was a side track and it could be fractional ownership I suppose but you could hear a different thing too).

She also seems to hold the opinion that capital is overvalued in the current system and work is undervalued. I guess that’s hard to say, a person without any tools will not be able to build a truck so I reason machines are quite an important part of the mix. But maybe the logical contribution of capital should be disconnected from its societal value. We could tax capital a bit more and work a bit less, for instance.

I’m no professor in economics or anything and she’s only one of them, so perhaps the current situation is perfect, but I do feel wealth distribution is a bit skewed today.

I believe the parent post is nicely sketching out what a “best” move is. I have seen no better approach myself. At the same time I see what you see. The best approach isn’t all that great. If you’re lucky and find the right people it could work. There’s a lot of luck involved there.

That’s why I do think there should be some regulations indicating what is tolerated. It seems to me parent poster may agree (and thus also woth your take).

Since GDPR you can tell the school you don’t want pictures on platforms you disagree with. You may miss out on seeing the photo’s, you might come across as crazy, but you can (and you should). We were given a choice at the cost of extra paperwork and some limitations.

Even without the addiction problem of these platforms we should nurture and find a good society around us. It’s a valid take to try and find likeminded people.

I don’t think that’s the end of it. Given the state we’re in, the network effect, and the fragile ego of developing kids, I suppose we need a stronger push.

AI enforced age verification or logins which allow you to be followed anywhere is not the solution in my current opinion, it’s a different problem. The problems are the addictive and steering nature of the platforms which seems to be hard to describe in a clear way legally.

I wonder how “these platforms” should be defined and what minimum set of limitations would give us and the children the necessary breathing space.

I’ll reply to this random one with that statement. There’s no winning move as a parent.

Problem is being locked out. If your kid is the only one not on social media and all other kids are, your kid will be socially left out.

All kids are on a chat platform you don’t support. What do you? Disallow it and give them a social handicap that might scar them, or allow it and take the risk?

The same goes for allowing images on other platforms. Since GDPR schools seem to care. Yet if it’s a recording that will be put on social media you can explain your 4 year old why they weren’t allowed to participate… It sucks.

I don’t know what the right way forward is. I don’t think this is it. Something is needed though. We should at least signal what we find acceptable as a society. Bog stupid rules which are trivial to circumvent might be good enough, or perhaps some add campaigns like we did with smoking (hehe, if it’s for something we support then adds are good?).

Regardless, the current situation clearly doesn’t work. It would be great if we could find and promote the least invasive solutions.

It’s a general purpose programming language, assuming Common Lisp.

There are many variants though and you’ll find some for very specific situations too. The beauty is that it can easily break out of the comfort zone it was made for, so elisp (from the Emacs editor) allows you to do all sorts of other stuff such as browsing the web or handling your mails.

When you get comfortable with the strange naming, lisps can become a safe and fun place to play. Many variants have all sorts of escape hatches when you’re getting yourself in trouble which makes a bunch of plot-twist requirements changes very feasible to tackle.

Anyhow, we use Common Lisp for some web services which see much reuse across apps.

Self-hosting a Git Forge is very feasible. Closest hosted alternative platform is GitLab but I don’t think it’s still EU since it was listed on NASDAQ. Being a remote company, they don’t list a headquarters. I don’t know where their servers are based.

I’m also very happy with this option. It does have a (brief) learning curve.

The camera is heated so that should not be the biggest problem. I don’t think they have the software to make it work.

I have not had obstacle detection work on the other modules aside from a person being nearby being detected. With that feature you will not see it working from close by, but it will destroy children’s toys, drive over poop, destroy its own antennas by driving under tables, drive against tractors, …

It could be capable one day but not with this software (team).

This company overpromises and underdelivers as if it’s a Chinese competition to do so.

Looks like a late Marcos Mini with a wide body kit. Which means that road is actually is single lane with just a tiny car on it.
