exscape

No, it’s not. I have never brushed my teeth too hard and have always used very soft toothbrushes, but I used to brush for 6-7 minutes, and my gums have suffered for it. Way too much of my teeth are now exposed, which is both ugly and causes sensitivity.
In the long run, if one keeps this up, teeth will start falling out.

Don’t overbrush.

Ads work way better than you think. Perhaps the most important thing they do is to make you aware the brand exists, and to keep it in mind when you’re looking for a service/product. You’re way more likely to buy something you’ve heard of, even if it’s from ads.

This is less of an issue in multiplayer games, as they rarely have very narrow FOVs by default. The worst offenders are often console ports and slower first-person games.
FWIW while it’s a competitive advantage with high FOV, if there is a slider, it’s still fair since everybody can use a higher FOV if they want to.
It’s not all advantage though, aiming gets harder (aside from the distortions).

I don’t see why it matters at all in single-player. So what if it makes the game easier? Who cares?
The fact that I don’t have to stop due to almost vomiting also makes it easier in a way, but I really don’t mind.

The fact that the optimal FOV differs on a per-player basis is of course exactly why I want a FOV slider everywhere. I usually prefer about 105 degrees horizontal (in 16:9), while some modern games default in the range 75-85.

FOV slider and option to disable head bob if present. Games with a too narrow FOV and/or head bob are unplayable for tons of people who suffer from motion sickness, and it’s such a shame to have so many good games ruined by it.

If I were to experience it as I am today (and judge it versus games with modern graphics etc), I’d pick Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It quickly became one of my all-time favourite games, and I finished it three times in a year when I discovered it. Beautiful in so many ways.

Half-Life is probably the game that has had the biggest impact on me, though, so that would be my pick if I experienced it as I did around 1998.

ps aux says hi!

z is for gz files only though, there are plenty of others. xf autodetects and works with all of them (with GNU tar att least).

How is that relevant? RTX 4080 is not a the minimum requirement for Starfield.

Most books 36-48 hours of listening? Hmm?

So here are the ones I’ve done in the past few weeks:
Project Hail Mary: 496 pages, audiobook 16 hours 11 minutes
The Martian: 416 pages, 10 hours 53 minutes
We are legion (We are Bob): 308 pages, 9 hours 30 minutes

So say about 30-40 pages per hour, which would put 36-48 hours at about 1100-1900 pages.

Is Fennec just the old name, orn something different?

I use Firefox on Windows and Firefox on Android.

Foundation, and Futurama, now that Strange New Worlds is an hiatus for a loong time.

I plan to start watching Silo in about an hour though!

I did Project Hail Mary two books back, so I won’t revisit that for a while. I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook though; I honestly can’t see how it could hold up in text form, it feels like it was made to be an audiobook.

I’m currently on the Bobiverse books (#1) by Dennis E Taylor.

Haha, I made this exact mistake when I started with audiobooks recently.
Went with The Martian as #2, and currently on the Bobiverse books, but so far they just aren’t as amazing.

Last time I saw this headline my brain just skipped “least” and read it as the buggiest game to date.

History search is built into most shells AND it’s interactive. Try hitting Ctrl+r and stay typing. Ctrl+r again to go to the previous result.

When you find the one you want, either hit enter to execute or use arrows, Ctrl+a/home or Ctrl+e/end to start modifying the command.

My computer names don’t really have a pattern.
Desktop is Neutron, NAS hyperion, old server exscape.

Disks have names from astronomy. Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Pegasus, Orion.
I just recently named my large NAS RAIDZ2 array Laniakea.

Nice! I started using it just this week. I built a computer to serve as NAS with Debian and ZFS.

I’m also considering moving my Ubuntu based server to Debian; it gets too many package updates that I frankly don’t care about, plus even Ubuntu server feels a bit bloated.
I moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu a few years ago precisely to reduce my workload; I just wanted it to work… and now I’m considering Debian for the same reason.

Same here, and I’m a bit confused since it was recently discovered that clouds formed due to ship sulfur pollution were helpful to reduce warming, and reducing the sulfur pollution actually caused heating.

https://www.science.org/content/article/changing-clouds-unforeseen-test-geoengineering-fueling-record-ocean-warmth

Why do those clouds cool the planet while contrails heat it? Is it just the difference in altitude, having the clouds higher up for some reason acting more insulating?

It’s mind-boggling to me that this hasn’t been fixed (in Windows, I assume?), people have been complaining for years.
It’s not inherent to DisplayPort though. Some monitors that suffer from this issue can disable “deep sleep” and have the issue gone even with DisplayPort, but not all monitors allow turning it off.
(And others yet, like my old Acer XB271HU, doesn’t have the issue to begin with.)

Yes, that shouldn’t be an issue. I believe SFTP would be supported basically out-of-the-box if you install OpenSSH during the install, but you might want to create a group and configure access if you’re not the only user.

The version thing is what I’m doing with ZFS (also works with BtrFS, but it doesn’t feel as reliable yet). Basically I take snapshots every hour, and the entire state of the filesystem at that point becomes frozen in time, and can be accessed as long as the snapshots exists.
sanoid automates the process and cleans up so that there’s a reasonable amount of snapshots, not hundreds or thousands.
Of course, this means that you can’t really regain any space when you delete things, until the oldest snapshot containing the data is deleted.
