CachyOs I think I have a lot of the state of the state to get the question I guess I don't know what to do with it but I don't know what to do with it but I don't think it will be a good idea how much does it cost to get it on the way home gym is it too late to get it on the way home from the web site and it is a good idea to get it.

My take is that they vote for him because he is angry. These young men are largely angry and have had media of all sorts telling them that they should be. They don't want someone telling them how they will boost the middle class and have equitable tax. They want someone who says they will burn every problem to the ground and break things. They want someone screaming at someone to blame.
Why we have a huge chunk of young men desperatly angry is a choose your own adventure of societal issues where we have provided almost no healthy outlet for healthy aggression or the physicality that comes with being a young man. Everyone is free to come up with their own reasons, but for me it is the lack of outlet or the feeling of societial participation for young men.
Whatever the reason, a culture who sweeps the problems of frustrated young men under the rug for long enough I feel will live to regret it.

We also have the freedom to self govern. Laws are on the books to prevent firework usage in my state, it is simply ignored one night a year because it turns out mass lawbreaking is hard to handle. I don't have the right to conduct a parade in the middle of whichever street I want whenever I want. I participate in the social contract of sacrificing absolute freedom for mutual gain because I live in a country and am not a sovereign citizen claiming complete supremacy over all others. My taxes pay for a small and well moderated fireworks show at a designated location conducted by a local government for which I had a hand in voting for. My freedom is louder, collective, voted for, and more sensible. Not all freedom must be focused soley on the individual.

I can't think of other art forms that blow off the hands of so many people, wake up my daughter in terror at 11PM, and make both dogs and veterans suffer for an extended period of time. I'm fine with the large group spectacle that is planned and controlled. What I can't stand is the widespread uncontrollable nonsense of just anyone buying them and setting them off at any hour on the 4th. Law enforcement can do absolutely nothing about it. I'm just gonna have to deal with it. I'm just surprised we haven't collectively shifted to something less harmful.

It just sort of sinks down. You have two ways of manipulation, the cable the camera uses for power and data and the attached rope. Between those two you sort of puppeteer/swim it into place. It actually works out pretty good and some people are real pro at it.

A whole bunch of welds in nuclear reactors are visually inspected using cameras duct taped onto the end of incredibly long poles which also get duct taped together. This would be the inside of BWR plants near the fuel and jet pumps. There is also an "art" to moving the cameras and poles around to get the shots you need. And if you get stuck the talented people know how to get you unstuck. There are also cameras just duct taped to ropes that the camera handler "swims" to certain spots.
Don't get me wrong, we have cool ultrasonic inspecting robots as well, but I was absolutely blown away by what visual inspection looked like in practice.
PS: The high dose fields make the camera look like it is being blasted with colorful confetti because of the high energy particles bombarding the camera module.

My incredible hatred and rage for not understanding things powers me on the cycle of trying and failing hundreds of times till I figure it out. Then I screw it all up somehow and the cycle begins again.

You can freeze time and move unhindered by the effects of the freeze, but physics still behaves normally meaning your movements cause incredible friction in the air and a sonic boom across any path you take.

I couch coop play this with my 6 year old and it is awesome! Music is a fun and super approachable for the younger crowd and older. I make him read to learn moves and stuff. It's clearly for learning.

Fish, less config and super easy to set things like path, colors, and the support for dev environments and tooling is better than it was. Used to be a Zsh user, but moved since I distro hop so dang much. Less time to get going.

Croc or syncthing depending on what kind of experience you are after. Syncthing if you want to have a shared folder like expert. And croc if you just need to send something. Croc has an app on f-droid, and syncthing is on the app store. Both are open source and pretty for excellent in their own right.

I have an old Lenovo W550s Thinkpad with a 2GB Dedicated Nvidia and an i5 5500U. It's got two batteries and sips power. It's only 4 cores, but for what I run it does great. I get fairly consistent 60fps on low settings for "boomer shooters" like Selaco. The thing is an absolute beast and hardly flexes. The plastic is cracked and I can just hand it to my kids without a care in the world. Dump a drink on it, drop it, I could care less. I had them help me change out the RAM and SSD because it's essentially bound for the dumpster and any value I get out of it is the cherry on top.
That and I can run pretty much and retro gaming console on it to about the Wii/GameCube, which blows my mind. All for probably like $200 of hardware.

It's a command line tool which filters for all lines containing the query. So something like
cat log.txt | grep Error5
Would output only lines containing Error5

In kernel maintainer's Linux, Arch boot you

The Ubuntu version is still probably the best. You won't have to think about graphics drivers or printers. It all sort of just... Works. They rip the awful out of Ubuntu and keep the excellent, world class, support in place. You'd be hard pressed for find a better commercial and non-commercial support. You can easily search for any problems you do run into and there will not be some esoteric DISCORD as your support. There are countless forms with literally thousands of people probably somewhat knowledgeable on how to address issues. Things like CUDA and dev work are also extremely supported. My barometer is how much time I have to crap away to get a printer and scanner work. Both of which just work with Linux Mint out of the box.
I wanted to post all the workaround and configs I needed to make Linux Mint work on the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro 2022 so others who need the help can find it on a non-reddit source. This will also be helpful for when I inevitably hop distros or break my system because I am a crazy person. The following should get Linux Mint 21.2 working reasonably well on your Lenovo Legion assuming the assuming the model is the same. 1. Fixing stuck on mint logo after installing the nvidia driver. Install the most recent nvidia driver using the driver manager on mint. Run the following so systemd does not stall waiting for the backlight service. ```bash sudo systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight\:nvidia_0.service ``` 2. Edit your kernel arguments so that the backlight works on Cinnamon Open the file: ```bash sudo nano /etc/default/grub ``` Add the following to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ```bash acpi_backlight=video ``` Update grub to apply the change ```bash sudo update grub ``` 3. Get a more recent kernel through one of the following methods to make suspend and resume work properly * https://xanmod.org/ * https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-latest-linux-kernel-on-linux-mint/ * ```sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c ``` 4. Adjust keyboard lighting (Optional) https://github.com/4JX/L5P-Keyboard-RGB All of that together should make the system function normal and reasonably optimal. So if you use Linux Mint or are having similar issues with your superior for some reason distribution, these may come in handy. As for future Rod Biren, quit spending all your time breaking your OS and avoiding actual work on your side projects. Loading bars are not actual progress.
I like to follow articles benchmarking OSs on phoronix a lot. Whenever Arch looks bad I see comments riddled with saying that is because the default scheduler sucks. I feel fairly compitent with Linux but for some reason schedulers seemed like this black box that lives in the realm of places where I normally break my OS from not paying close attention. Is it a program run by something like systemd? Is it a config or patch of the kernel? Which ones are good and how important are they? Anyways, any advice on schedulers would be appreciated.
Just had my old dumb LG TV die after 9 years of working just dandy. I lack the desire to root around for a dead capacitor so I am currently in the market for an approximate replacement to act as the display for my Linux media center in my living room. I figure this is the right crowd for finding a non-invasive TV so my Linux machine can be the brains. I trust modern Tvs less and less. Desired features 55" Non terrible audio As dumb of hardware/software as reasonably achievable
