Finally someone who sees things the way I do. I always hated it when after sports/p.e. my classmates would add the smell of cheap deodorant to the smell of their sweat. The sweat smell on its own would have been less offensive. (Provided it was relatively fresh sweat. But even in the case of days old rancid sweat, nothing can really take the place of plain old washing yourself.)

Who complains about whole grain bread?

My plants are tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, oregano, garlic and coffee (no serious hopes for a good harvest in my climate).

Am I still allowed to call myself a man?

Does nobody here find it a bit insane that 11 dollars is seen as an acceptable price for a sandwich these days?

I don’t even know which Linux specific fork you are referring to, it could be either a git fork or fork(2).

The American version is probably a Ketchup capsule that you load into a l shaped device, pull the trigger and your ketchup splashes over your fries and the people infront of you.

While a tiny plastic packets gets discarded into a waste basket just out of sight.

Why not just microwave the butter?

Well, in PHP you cannot #define new words from some new language to mean basic language keywords.

The original is a lot lamer than I thought it would be…

It lags for me whenever I access some filesystem that takes a while to respond. That could be a faulty or old device, or it could be an NFS share with multiple large file transfers going on in the background.

And when I say it lags, I don’t mean it just takes a while to show me a directory’s content, I mean the entire UI freezes and kwin will grey out the window because tha application isn’t responding any more.

This does not happen a lot, and if your file browsing is largely limited to a fast local storage, like a SATA SSD or even an NVMe, you may well never see this problem at all. But it does happen.

I think I know this meme template from somewhere, but I cannot quite recall from where. Could you give us a link to the original?

Okay, I’m generally on the side if dolphin UI-wise, but when it comes to the topic of lagginess, it has to be said that dolphin, and in fact, almost everything using the kio infrastructure, is the one shitting the bed here. You’d think a bit of multithreading will keep the UI from freezing up whenever the underlying I/O has some minor hiccup (which can absolutely happen in practice with network filesystems or USB sticks in combination with large file transfers), but apparently dolphin can’t do that.

Error correction and compression are usually at odds.

Not really. If your data compresses well, you can compress it by easily 60, 70%, then add Reed-Solomon forward error correction blocks at like 20% redundancy, and you’d still be up overall.

And even then I don’t think many of them truly understand what’s going on in there.

That’s just the thing about neural networks: Nobody actually understands what’s going on there. We’ve put an abstraction layer over how we do things that we know we will never be able to pierce.

If any person actually typed that they aren’t sane at all.

That doesn’t actually rule out anything.

Maybe he means that he took that photo on the sly, through a keyhole or something? In that case, “peeked” makes sense again.

A random political overthrow fits in there quite nicely, actually.

Nope, denser objects fall faster than less dense ones (through the air). Remember: A kilogram of feathers is just as heavy as a kilogram of lead.

Wut?

The reason I gave up self hosting email was because all my emails kept going to spam for everyone I emailed.

You need to set up DKIM, SPF and DANE, then most big email providers will accept your mail. Worst case, you may need to contact them to unblock your mail server’s IP if that has been used by a spammer prior to you.

Plus incoming email needs spam protection.

Both SpamAssassin and Rspamd do a decent job of that.

Note: I’m using rspamd, and for some time at the beginning, it looked like it wasn’t really doing anything. Turns out it needs a couple hundred training emails before it will start using the Bayes function. Just feed your Spam folder into the learn_spam command and any of your normal, not-spam folders into the learn_ham command.
