Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

Relevant XKCD.

The receptacle is the issue - it can have up to 24 pins (though usually it’s 12ish), all bunched up in just a slightly larger space than on a micro usb receptacle which has 4 pins. So it takes some good skill to replace.

Just recently I had a tech store guy gently but repeatedly insist to me that a certain USB cable was a USB 3 cable because it was type C on both ends. I didn’t wanna argue with him, but the box clearly said “480 Mbit”, so it was just a type C charging cable.

Of course the box designers were hoping you’d make that mistake so they didn’t write USB 2 on there, just the speed. And most boxes won’t even have that, you’ll just have to buy it and see.

But I mean if someone who spent their whole life fixing computers can get something that basic wrong, then it’s really a hopeless situation for anyone who isn’t techy.

And of course once it’s out of the box it’s anyone’s guess what it is. It’s a real mess for sure.

Have you heard about them bombing Lebanon yesterday though, or even for the last few months? It got a passing mention and only in the context of “this might cause Iran to respond”. And there’s a few more flags on that picture.

I was wondering if your tool was displaying cache as usage, but I guess not. Not sure what you have running that’s consuming that much.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I’m currently running a simulation of a whole proxmox cluster with nodes, storage servers, switches and even a windows client machine active. I’m running that all on gnome with Firefox and discord open and this is my usage

$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            46Gi        16Gi       9.1Gi       168Mi        22Gi        30Gi
Swap:          3.8Gi          0B       3.8Gi

Of course discord is inside Firefox, so that helps, but still…

What does free -h say?

About 6 months ago I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 48 gigs cause there were a few times I felt like I needed a bigger tmpfs.
Anyway, the other day I set up a simulation of this cluster I’m configuring, just kept piling up virtual machines without looking cause I knew I had all the ram I could need for them. Eventually I got curious and checked my usage, I had just only reached 16 gigs.

I think basically the only time I use more that the 16 gigs I had is when I fire up my GPU passthrough windows VM that I use for games, which isn’t your typical usage.

Hyperconvergence or hypervisor.

So much more. It’s not even in the same ballpark.

Quite literally the first paragraph of the article:

According to Soviet records 381,067 German Wehrmacht POWs died in NKVD camps (356,700 German nationals and 24,367 from other nations).

Or in more detail lower down in the section titled Soviet statistics:

According to Russian historian Grigori F. Krivosheev, Soviet NKVD figures list 2,733,739 German “Wehrmacht” POWs (Военнопленные из войск вермахта) taken with 381,067 having died in captivity.

The mic being active or not doesn’t affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she’d still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn’t, so she’d seem flustered.

I’m not sure which German you expect to have conducted this research other than a former Nazi, seeing as basically everyone left was a former Nazi. And I don’t see how you can just dismiss the government report as Nazi lies when even the Soviets report a figure of 350 thousand dead.

They’re not valid, they’re excuses which are provably wrong. Samsung will currently sell you a phone with a jack which is ip68 waterproof, has a milspec durability rating and it costs a whopping €250. So clearly the jack is not a design limitation in any of those ways.

Sadly, I reckon about 2/3 of Android phones no longer have a jack, or close to 100% of flagship models.

Well the most annoying issue is that BT headphones work perfectly well with a phone or laptop that has the jack, it’s not an either/or situation. So they were only removed to make you have to spend $200. The arguments about cost, durability or waterproofing are all nonsense.

I’m only willing to buy a phone that has the jack, it reduces the selection, but I’m not willing to compromise on that. And someone gifted me some airpods recently (pro 2). Tried them out and they were ok I guess, but they also had too many downsides, so they sit on a shelf now. It’s not a good enough alternative for me.

That’s just embarrassing.

You can hide chat and you’ll barely even notice it’s online. And I don’t see how it’s grindy - in fact they made the base game so easy your companion can kill everyone for you.

If you just play the base game content from 2011, it’s 8 completely voice acted stories that are interconnected into one big story. And it’s free.
