I’m one of those old assholes who just remembers the stories as they happened. If it tells about those, it should be a fun journey. Those guys have been through a lot fighting for the ability to torrent!

There was a time it would’ve fit on a floppy

gregorum , to Linux in Swap causing very slow boot (and systemd says the swap partition became active after 500k years)
@gregorum@lemm.ee avatar

Second this because:

  1. Ideally, a swap partition should always be on a secondary physical device than your home directory. Or anything else, if possible, as there will be high i/o during times of high memory activity and memory/swap maintenance.
  2. Your bottleneck is exacerbated more by the excessive overhead of on-the-fly decryption activity on the same physical device
  3. All of this can be avoided by eliminating swap, which isn’t necessary if you have sufficient RAM.
gregorum , to You Should Know in YSK That There's a U.S Gov Program That Gets People Jobs

if it worked, there would be no unemployment.

They give people Housing, Basic Medical Care, Meals, Books, an Allowance, Clothing, and a Network of instructors and peers.

also that

before “but it needs funding!”

yeah, no shit.

to OP: there isn’t a problem with a lack of programs to address societal shortcomings, generally speaking. the problem is with the Fascist party pathologically defining and sabotaging hem because the entire philosophy of their party is hat anyone who isn’t a straight white male deserves to be poor and to suffer because they aren’t, and so they will do everything to make sure that “those people” will always remain poor and suffering. and their constituents, who also believe that and can consolidate their wealth and power at the top in their in-groups by continuing to elect like-thinking politicians, perpetuate this power hierarchy.

that’s conservatism.

Is that even possible? I mean… with how volatile and exotic the atmosphere is, wouldn’t what a craft would be doing be more akin to how a submarine travels under water? Would “flying” even be the correct term? Wouldn’t it be more like navigating violent torrents of differently-dense gaseous layers? Some of which are (sometimes) liquid?

What would one even call that?

Thanks. I’m sad again.

gregorum , to Futurama in Futurama Facts
@gregorum@lemm.ee avatar

During the original run, they were produced on short order and the animation was cheap, so they could keep up to the latest pop culture trends. Now they’re produced almost 9 months to a year in advance with higher-end animation, so they’re out of date by the time they stream. Plus, IIRC, this latest season may have been delayed for some reason.

Well I’m sure glad someone looked into that. Still, I’m anxious he might try to do Bad Things™ to it. Ya know, like he does whenever he gets some idea in his head about something, and then Bad Things™ happen to it.
