My entire kde "plasmashell" which includes my wallpaper and the various widgets installed (including a weather widget) uses 560MB for a screen with 5120x1440 pixels.

One thing that surpised me about gentoo is just how low budget it is as an operation. They are doing everything with a $12k budget. [1] [1] https://www.gentoo.org/news/2026/01/05/new-year.html

It is a sort of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. The reason these DC use so much water is because it uses less electricity to evaporatively cool than it takes to cool with a heat pump. You are trading water

Likely it was UV exposure to raise the kids vitamin D. I'm guessing this was something for northern parts of russia. (Yes, they were tanning the kids :D) Skin cancer from sun exposure wasn't something I think they'd have con

I think it's a show of these agents happily bypassing security to get stuff done. I've actually observed similar behavior at home. I have a k3s cluster running at home. I asked an agent to check some stuff as a normal user but I h

Even if I assumed maximum malice, how are these inverters going to perform a coordinated attack on the grid?

Depends on the cooling system, but around 1 to 9L per kwh. [1] A lot, but not all, of these datacenters are using evaporative cooling, which is what kicks their water usage so high. So a 40MW datacenter will consume around 4 million liters

The very VERY unfortunate thing about ATSC 3.0 is it has an internet optional requirement which broadcasters have decided to use as a gate for watching ATSC content. They've turned it into a premium service rather than just simply usi

I believe it was ~10k per passenger. You'd end up sharing the plane with other people going to the same location. Looking it up again, it looks like the way they generally charge is per hour of flying. Low end is $2k per hour with th

So I can taste differences, but they simply don't matter enough for me. My areopressed coffee with nice fresh locally roasted beans does taste different from a mcdonalds pot. Less harsh, less chemically flavored. But for me those di

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I truly can't taste much of a difference between "good" coffee and "bad" coffee. I can certainly tell the difference between a good steak and a bad one.

IMO, this is largely because google made their search next to worthless. They very apparently prioritized making money over returning good relevant results. The decline in quality is so pronounced that I've heard more than a few peop

I believe the bounds check, in particular, is devastating for autovectorization. There are ways around it, but it requires additional code in safe rust. Edit: actually looks like autovectorization is in play here [1]. Doesn't look li

When I last looked into this, flying private started somewhere around 10k a seat. Not cheap, but also something non-centimillionaires can afford.

It depends on the federal district you are in. It also can depend on the state you are currently in. For example, in the 3rd district in New Jersey the odor is not enough because MJ is legal in NJ. Looks like for this specific case odor is

I generally agree, but I don't think it's wrong to mourn what is lost or to try and advocate politicians regulate and restore what was lost. Especially since the policy of "the customers own nothing" has been extending

Well that's the thing, to build the utilities required extra flags which were pretty rarely enabled. You can, in most distros, ultimately install minizip as a separate package but few do. It's not that useful of a utility. Most

This is what I truly don't like about the CVE system. One such example is CVE-2023-45853 [1]. Zlib included in it's source an extra set of utilities and add-ons. One such utility, MiniZip, had a buffer overflow vulnerability. B
