Fair enough, prioritise people who actually work and do things. They deserve housing before anyone else.

Then also people who do not work and make money off of others people’s work may have a house.

General use package? Sure Specialized package to do something specific in a specific field? Good luck.

I still have flashbacks of installing a c++ library which had to be transpired (or whatever the term is) to c# for another library to work, and having to go manually fix several function and type declarations manually to make it work. And we are talking about the golden standard library in the field…

I at times have to install completely undocumented software. I love ccmake as it lists all available options. I guess there are other ways, but that makes it so easy.

Then it’s just a couple of days figuring out all necessary libraries.

How do you have more available space on your machine than on your nas? You can exclude directories easily with rsync, but in this case the best solution to me feels like buying an additional drive to stick into your nas.

Rented a flat from a family for 3 years. The flat had not been renewed in over 60 years, but I was alright with that. The flat had several problems, they never wanted to fix.

One day the electrical system starts going out over and over again, fuses would burn every few days. I had to tell them that in case of fire they’d be responsible for everything I had in the house before they agreed they should fix the electric system.

Since they were going to fix the electric system, they decided to do a bit more work and change the floor and a few things more. They wanted to increase the rent 50% to account for these improvements; even though that is illegal I accepted, since they were in fact improving the flat.

I had to move out for two months while the works were going on. One week before the end of the works, the flat was really not done yet. I asked several times whether it would be ready, because I’d need to find and accomodation in the meanwhile. I asked for a discount of half a month so that I could cover expenses and because nobody knew when they would actually complete the works.

The day before I was supposed to get back into the flat, they decided that I was posing way too many conditions and kicked me out. They decided to keep the safety deposit because a plastic floor old over 60 years had started cracking. 8 months later, they still have some boxes of stuff which is mine but never have time to meet me to give it back to me.

Time has passed and I still have to go to a lawyer, because I the meanwhile I had a bunch of trouble to solve. I’m sure I can win a trial against them, but even if I do win the trial I’ll have gone through a bunch of trouble just to get my safety deposit back. I’ll be doing it just because they need to fuck off, but still…

Now, most people renting places were I live are exactly like this. It is not big corporations, it people who got one or maybe a few flats on rent.

So, Gaddafi gave money to Sarcozy so he’d be elected. Then Sarcozy attacked Libya to take out Gaddafi.

That sounds like bad investment. I know they say you should only invest what you’re willing to lose, didn’t think that could include your own life.

We need gzip encoding factors. That way with a single chromosome we’ll be able to store all required information. Just take DNA, transcribe it to gzRNA, decode it to mRNA and pipe it to the ribosomes. My setup can do all this in just one elegant line of code and transcription factors.

Te technology Is not really designed to prevent that, it is designed to be decentralised. Now, email is decentralised but everyone uses Gmail.

Imagine Reddit closes and everyone from there flocks into lemmy. Will small instances stand the influx? Will single maintainers with a small server allow 10 million new users in their instance? Most likely not, either they will limit subscriptions or they’ll close down.

As such the most likely thing to happen is that someone with money opens a big instance which can host all those people. And there, you got Reddit exactly as it was.

Several friends of mine lost their mind with extended ketamine use. Still alive, but barely capable of doing things.

I guess, frankly not much difference. Maybe just less chances of a civil war with Evo.

I’d be amazed if you were the first person testing if those things work. However, I would not be surprised if your specific peripherals do not work as they are supposed to.

If you know someone with a Linux pc it could be easy to test it out.

I love public transport, it is basically the only form of transport I use. I do occasionally drive a car, maybe once or twice a year. That said, I really prefer not to need transport in my day to day life.

I live in a city in Spain. It is an important city, but it is not very large. I walk to work in 20 minutes. From work I walk to the city centre 15 minutes. From the city centre I walk to the woods outside town in 15 minutes. It’s not even worth it to wait for the bus to arrive…

I was in the US with my sister. Didn’t know whether the bus to get us to town would pass as it was already sunsetting (yes, it did pass we later figured out) as the trip was a couple hours long. One guy stops with his big truck towing a boat and picks us up. Apparently he did not figure out we were hitching, he thought we were waiting for the bus and was afraid for us. Apparently the previous day he had taken the bus for the first time in his 65 years of life and that was one of the most traumatizing experiences in his life. He figured we should not go through the same pains he had to go through…

But yes, American public transport is terrible. While travelling I had decided not to rent a car. I ended up having to make friends with people travelling with cars so that I could go around with them.

I hope this doesn’t end up in the same way.

The transportation company is not responsible if passengers break the windows of the car and flatten their tires. I guess doing this a couple of times and the newspapers reporting crazy team users destroying cars on the path of the train will fix the issue.

The main reason I use git is it allows me to make mistakes without hard consequences. Any fuckup is just one reset away from being fixed. I like to: I have to fix this thing. While attempting to fix it I discover there is another thing that needs fixing on which everything revolves. I fix the second thing and commit. I’m now free to fuck around the code all I want and I’m sure I won’t lose that fix.

For this I really like to use --fixup when I find out the change was not completely right or does not fit well with some other changes I need to do. I really like git absorb which automates this a bit.

I’d love if Anubis let me through, can’t access the page.

Is overclocking still a thing?

I sent them a video begging them to give me a spot in their bunker. I love Replacement.AI, I already sold all my stock to buy theirs.

I put it in a large tupperware that is always in the freezer and from time to time throw it into a pot to make stock or a soup.
