Thanks, will have a look for next time , too bad those are not the defaults.

For now it seems my ssd is fried (even though swap wasn’t on that disk) , lots of I/O Errors and a suspiciously toasted looking chip

I forced a shutdown of my Linux server by holding down the power button last night after it had been thrashing the harddisk for I don’t know how long.

Wouldn’t respond to SSH so I just gave up, guess I could have tried to plug in a keyboard and use some magic keys.

Maybe I should just remove the swapfile and let it kill something before it gets to that state. Or is that what swappiness setting is supposed to prevent? Only swap out stuff that is not actively used? In any case defaults don’t seem to work very well for me.

Guess I’ll have to go boot it again today and try to find out what went wrong from the logs.

I have an old mac mini running nextcloud on Ubuntu, I did upgrade memory and plug in external ssd

Remember that Microsoft offers a nicely packaged version of openjdk for download

There’s something stupid-sounding about this sentence, though I can’t quite pinpoint it.

You must be picking up on the deepfake AI generated sentence

A bottle off rum for the morning standup?

It is also an incentive to shift demand when there is plenty of renewable power: charge your car , do the laundry and so on

Rest of the 2 Meter sessions are also worth a listen!

From docking station that has multiple outputs but I guess could also work very well with split screen from onboard graphics card.

Only downside I see is if you want to have a full screen game from dedicated graphics card you need to switch off the split screen on the monitor menu.

Single ulttawide using two inputs. So use split screen each half using separate cable and then joined together again as single desktop. The advantage is that you can easiliy maximise a window to half of the screen or share only half of your screen in teams etc. But still have a single big desktop where you can drag windows from one side to the others.

Got this:

Interesting! Thanks

Here in Germany, fluoride is mandated by law to be added to table salt, so I assume it is good to have in general.

Isn’t that iodine?

Some explain these people that climate chance is going to cause a lot more migration if not addressed

I’m on renewable crack, you should try it sometimes. I promise it is only slightly addictive.

My point is that nuclear is only good for base load unless there is storage and if you want to use renewables to cover peak demand then you also need storage. but if you have storage then there is no reason not to use 100% renewables

You can also chose to use 100% nuclear, either enough to cover peak demand (and throw away the rest when not needed) or in combination with storage. It just going to be so much more expensive…

Nuclear is not an option since it can not be scaled up and down fast enough to follow changes in demand (or the changes in very predictable renewable output) , so you’re left with pumped storage, grid interconnectivity , and demand shifting until we can cheaply use the excess in renewables to make synthetic fuels.

Use ddrescue to copy to a working disk, if I remember it will try a number of times and eventually skip the broken sectors so that at least you have a working filesystem on the copy.

Great! When will this be included in teams? So that I can deepfake all meetings

My winows 11 work laptop , fully managed by IT the department also has Xbox stuff installed…
