The only reason “cooking at home” is considered healthier is because people don’t cook tasty food for themselves
Sorry, what?
Thank you, those are the precise point that summarize my gripes with it. In particular, I feel it encourages people to perceive it as an authoritative source and to form their opinions on sites it rates (often wrongly) without additional thinking / fact checking.
It’s basically a company propaganda tool that can change its own option and ratings any time, influencing others in the process.
I’m a big fan of archive.org and I regularly look for manuals, but they don’t show up in common searches as a source, so knowing that now is really helpful. Thanks!
I argued that exact same way with someone very close to me. Their answer was:
But those gods aren’t real!
Nothing you can do if that last conclusion isn’t there.
They’d still have an amazing time, they’d just have no objective way of knowing that the acts that have been performed were world class.
Yes, targeted attacks like that definitely exist, most famously maybe the most recent social pressure to merge a vulnerability to the xz library by actor “Jia Tan”:
This started a whole discussion about relying on (often unpaid) volunteer work for critical systems and the pressure and negativity these people face, which is a discussion that was absolutely needed, and which we are still lightyears away from fixing.
Currently, open source is still treated like this: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/10341
(I can only recommend reading the whole story around this issue, which boils down to Microsoft admitting they rely on an open source project for something they consider critical to their customers, but not willing to pay the maintainer a bounty for fixing the issue)
That’s why there is a huge market for 0-day exploits.
Couldn’t watch, so I got a summary. Maybe it’s helpful for someone else:
Bluefin is introducing a new “Stable” tag for their Fedora distribution, in addition to the existing “GTS” (Grand Touring Support) and “Latest” tags.
The Stable tag will provide a middle ground between the aggressively updated Latest Fedora and the more conservative GTS version.
Stable will use the latest Fedora release, but with a slightly older kernel that has been more thoroughly tested and vetted by the Bluefin team.
This is intended to cater to enthusiasts who want the latest Fedora features, but with a bit more stability and reliability.
Bluefin will be publishing weekly updates for the Stable images, rather than waiting 2 weeks between updates like the Fedora CoreOS team.
The Stable images will also use zstd chunked compression to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed for updates.
Bluefin is unsure whether the Stable configuration (latest Fedora, slightly older kernel) or the GTS configuration (older Fedora, latest kernel) will ultimately feel more stable in practice
The Stable tag is a response to user feedback requesting access to the latest Fedora releases, rather than having to wait for the GTS version.
Nvidia driver updates for the Stable images will also be provided on a regular basis.
Bluefin is interested in exploring this middle ground between aggressively updated and conservatively updated Fedora distributions.
Oh, that makes everything a lot easier. The majority of the relevant settings will be in your home folder then, i. e. in the ${HOME}./.config folder, while some might also be in ${HOME}/.local/share etc.
You probably want to backup the whole home folder anyway, so that would pickup most of your settings. In order to make that work on a different system, you would have to install all applications you were using on the tablet as well. Luckily, software installation in Linux is pretty easy, so you can export a list of installed applications from the Surface and then re-install them on your target system before migrating your home folder. The software list should become part of your backup. See e. g. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/82880/how-to-replicate-installed-package-selection-from-one-fedora-instance-to-another for an idea of how to perform this.
I have used this approach in the past and it will get you 95% there. There might be some global system settings that you’d like to also transfer to your new system, but you can add those as you discover you miss them on the target system.
In general, no, this won’t work. In your case, you’re lucky since at least the Surface Go is using an x86 CPU, so it’s not completely out of the question, but transferring the image as-is to a completely different device typically does not work without modification.
Simple example: your target device might not refer to existing hardware (let’s say a storage medium) in the same manner as your old device, so the existing references in your cloned image won’t work. There are other issues of course, e. g. missing drivers for different hardware present on the target device.
It’s possible to modify the image so it would boot, but given the Surface runs Windows, that’s going to be a chore. I’d consider this an interesting project if bored on a slow weekend, but I’d most likely just do a filesystem backup of relevant data and call it a day.
Honestly, that just seems like you’re treating dd as some kind of arcanum. dd works just fine and I’ve been doing 1:1, full system backups for decades with it, no issues. Honorary mention for ddrescue / dd_rescue for recovery options, i. e. re-trying bad sector reads etc.
In fact, when Clonezilla doesn’t know your filesystem, it will simply employ dd to copy the data sector by sector.
I’d argue that Clonezilla (due to its use of partclone) is actually a less complete form of backup, since it will only copy used blocks, you don’t really end up with a clone of your devices, just a copy of what partclone believes to be your data. Don’t get me wrong, that is fine in most use cases, but there are some cases where this doesn’t cut it, e. g. wanting to backup / restore a storage device from a PLC where the vendor had the glorious idea to store licensing data in unused sectors, or when you want to create a forensic disk image, might want it look into d3dd then, although it absolutely works using regular old dd as well, d3dd just adds some amenities.
All I want to say is: dd is an absolutely reliable tool and can be a one stop solution for device backups. Also, I have absolutely no quarrels with Clonezilla, if it fits what you’re trying to do and it works, great.
Yikes. If the second sentence of your ad reads So instead of blaming him […] she should question herself, we’re in for a good time. And that’s not even touching the idea that his many neglects can be explained away by what exactly, pussy odor?
Not a doctor here, but I’m being told applying a disinfectant might not be the best idea, although the medical details are by far not the bleakest thing about this ad.
To be fair, before it was promoted like this, it was actually used in Germany to combat Cholera. This dystopian marketing we see here is a US invention.
Fun fact: early Lysol was really poisonous and was used as the suicide poison in the beginning of the 20th century, readily available and all. It was also used for homemade abortions.
We’ll get along just fine. But I will remember the kid’s face if they’re cool.
You’ll be even more disappointed when you find out that “Aloe Vera Microfiber” is indeed coated polyester, with a few percent of Aloe Vera extract:

Honestl, I’m equally disappointed - I was keen to learn about a previously unknown fiber.
See, that’s what I wanted to say. I had no idea such a thing existed - you learn something new every day. From what I just read now it’s a synthetic gel core with a polyester case that has somehow been coated with Aloe Vera extract?
Is that what you are referring to? If so, I’d definitely like to try the gel core, but I’m not at all convinced as far as the case is concerned - the coating would wash out anyway, and I hate Polyester with a passion.
Taking out the gel core and replacing the case with cotton or linen is something that would I try though.
Really all of them? Camel fur? Natural latex? Lyocell? Sheep wool? Pinus cembra shreds? Horse hair? Kapok?
All I want to say is: there is a whole world of relatively unknown pillow stuffings available. This is mostly useful for people with very particular requirements or allergies.
I tried all the regular ones (cotton, different grains, down feathers) plus camel fur, latex and Kapok. Latex was great, durability was mediocre compared to the price though. Kapok became flat pretty fast.
I arrived at the same conclusions as you did: shredded foam. I’d go with natural latex, which has about the same properties and can be manufactured in an eco-friendly, sustainable fashion, but that led to me spending $120 on a pillow that didn’t last a third as long as a foam pillow for $22.
Edit: I’m also biased because I want my pillow to be washable. That helps with all kinds of allergies, plus the dirt you see coming out of the pillow… Jesus.
The article says it has partially re-opened in 2020. Has anyone visited recently? Any updates?
It’s actually a lot worse than ASM, there are far more ambiguities in C++. And yet here I am, still developing with it some 30+ years later.
Don’t worry, I’m using Rust were it makes sense.
This, however, is about diagnostics, i. e. annotating delete with a reason (message) to express developer intent when deleting a function, not about memory management.
