corgi,

How is alternative transit the solution? Cities that have public transportation still have traffic jams.

There was an English traffic engineer that predicted that avg speed in central London will always be like 9mph. No matter how many lanes or public transit options you add. If there is no traffic, people will take cars until traffic jams are unbearable to give up. Then the system finds equilibrium.

[Serious] Do you know of any processed snack foods with some vitamins?

Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we’re (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald’s, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He’s likely on the spectrum.)

Plazma (Lane) Biscuits, 600g a.co/d/2zIZ29U

They have some vitamins and iron, not too much fat or sugar, but still taste great. There is also a ground version that can be eaten with milk, kind of like a sweet porridge - but better.

Here is one link to nutrition facts label. assets.wakefern.com/is/image/…/860004300332-577

corgi,

You’re welcome.

corgi,

Glad to hear. Our little ones love them too!

corgi,

Get a dash cam folks, you never know when you are going to need it.

corgi,

Yes, but the cop outright lied by claiming he was hit.

The driver should get their $200 fine, but the cop essentially attempted to frame another person.

corgi,

Factorio and OpenTTD

corgi,

Personal blog on a public Internet is kind of an oxymoron.

The blog post is close enough to an article.

what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

I want to reset my server soon and I’m toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my...

corgi,

Nixos will use/download cached binaries that are available in its repo. It has one of the biggest repositories of any Linux distro. It’s on par with Arch with around 90 thousand packages.

Unless you are doing something custom or niche, your nixos won’t have to compile anything.

corgi,

Yes, all packages in nixos are available as binaries to download.

The comparison with Arch was just in terms of number of packages. Not the binary availability.

At the bottom of this page, they say that binary cache is currently at 120TB. nixos.org/community/index.html

If packages being available as binaries is the main criteria, nix has you covered there.

The biggest issue for most people with Nixos is the learning curve just because it’s so different.

corgi,

Technically correct, but there are systems that don’t have to rely on maps per say. For example, …wikipedia.org/…/Party-list_proportional_represen… where representatives are assigned proportionally based on the votes. You don’t have “your own representative”.

Obviously there are downsides to this, but at the same time it requires no districts and manipulation in that regard is not possible.

corgi,

This doesn’t seem correct. RCS is supposed to be supported by you mobile provider, if it isn’t only then your messaging app on Android will use Google’s service. The whole protocol was meant to be open to entice companies to adopt it.

I understand Google dropped don’t be evil, but they are not a villain in every story.

corgi,

They don’t expect to go bankrupt by 2033. That’s when the surplus/reserves will run out. The system doesn’t have the fixed amount of money. Current employees are constantly paying into it.

20% is the shortfall between payout vs people paying in. And it will only happen if it’s not addressed. Which I’m sure will get addressed last minute or something like that.

Honest question: what was Hamas' long-game with respect to kidnapping Israelis? Did they think Israel would just negotiate rather than retaliate?

It just seems crazy to me given the power imbalance. A cynical part of me suspects that things are playing out exactly as some evil strategists hoped they would, which, given all the children dying, is super-depressing....

corgi,

Israel proposed/accepted/was in favor of two state solution multiple times throughout history. It was Palestinians who rejected it.

corgi,

It’s not right now, that’s true. Both sides are moving more extreme and away from a peaceful solution. But historically Arabs were far less open to the idea of two state solution. Starting with the partition plan of 1947.

corgi,

Wikipedia has pretty detailed account of Israel Palestine conflict including all the sources

Can you take the lint from your dryer and make clothing?

I know its not quite that simple, I’d have to make thread first, and after I get enough, make clothing out of it. Could this actually be done? I can sew, but never made my own clothing nor have I ever made thread, so I don’t know if it could actually be done or not. I’m 100% sure the time and effort would not be worth it,...

corgi,

Does burn ban apply to BBQ? I always assumed that’s enclosed fire.

corgi,

I was wondering the same thing. But it appears that cost of living adjustment is not considered a pay raise in the context of 27th amendment.

…wikipedia.org/…/Twenty-seventh_Amendment_to_the_…

corgi,

MikroTik is super powerful, customizable and affordable.

corgi,

Such a good point. I’m honestly surprised people recommend Nextcloud so frequently. I’ve used it in a commercial environment and it sucks ass. It broke numerous times when upgrading, it was buggy and slow. At the time their GitHub page had like 4k open issues and another 8k closed. Looks like it’s somewhat better now. Many of issues we’ve experienced were reported but no movement for years. It’s like least stable OSS I had dealt with.

corgi,

Both US and EU are big enough markets that two models are totally feasible. Actually, radios inside cell phones are already different due to slightly different frequencies between the two continents. Take a look, but a lot of phones have US and EU version already.

corgi,

I wonder if he would actually do half the things he is campaigning on. A lot of what he doing in Florida are just populist policies to score points with idiots. He is fully aware they are gonna be challenged and likely overturned (or scaled down) by courts, but he just cares about the immediate "news" points he gets when the law is passed and he brags about it.

Definitely abhorrent human being willing to do anything just to score politically.
