.zip is used as a seekable container with some compression. There is no replacement comparable in simplicity. 7z is overcomplicated, compressed tar is not seekable. .gz/deflate is used when something very cheap and very fast is needed.

I actually printed a few PETG ones. They are nigh indestructable compared to PVC. As noted above, it's the mechanical design / CAD that has to be seriously learned to do anything useful.

Or DMT. I also question how they derive the consclusion of a "horrible heart risk". Imo there is not enough evidence for that.

What's not plug and play if using some sensible fde like idk, dm-crypt? You are only a passphrase away from mounting that drive in any other system you plug it into.

That was breakdown on a different level: your server process had no business of renaming stuff and it still did that. POSIX had nothing to do with this.

Exactly. Why bother and own yourself? I always snarked at clueless CEOs bent on forcing me to sign NDAs while the entire infra _and_ data was living in US from the get go. Like, what's so sensitive I'm going to disclose that wasn&

At least it shows some attempt on reflection/introspection which is rare. As for the OP - life is negenthropy. It is by definition a complication. I don't get the complaint - if you want max simplicity just convert yourself into l

I'd guess exact form wouldn't matter. Wrap a hammer in foil and beat up something rusty.

Cut-buffer (the middle click) I just can't live without. People that never experienced that still get awestruck with the ease and effortlessness. And virtual desktops/workspaces also had that awe-effect back then. Although with mu

A 720x400 two-soundtrack rip of first season of 'On becoming god in central Florida' is only 5.5G. That's 10 episodes. Now what you were saying about 2-hour lectures?

> An xBox game can be 50+ gigs. In my experience a game worth playing never exceeded 1 (one) gig in size. It is only incompetent creators that feel the need to bury their incompetence under gigabytes of irrelevance.

You try to use it you'll get it. Otherwise it's just words. Like these: rust failed at async.

What is there to worry about? If we believe AI crowd, Bun and entire JS ecosystem is done for. Dead. Nothing to worry about since nothing's left. If as claimed everyone and his malnourished cellar rat can whip up a SaaS on a whim, then

Yes, and those small engines might work for a bit, but then they just burn out, this is inevitable. If you build an A380 like here you sure don't want to use them unless you want to film it burning down spectacularly.

Mostly physics. It's hard to do small jets, mostly because small things get too heat-stressed I sorta watched a guy trying to build a hoverboard out of 50-kgf jets, it was crazy, hilarious and didn't go anywhere because flying a b

You are wrong. The goal is not to "catch all communication" whatever that means. For the most part that has been accomplished before Snowden, and it does not help much in shaping the public opinion as they perceive it, which is th

A year isn't much. I changed I four ssds,sata,sata,nvme,nvme, about every other year, while the data store at some cheap wdc spinning rust still spins and won't stop for some years.

That is the least of your troubles. SOS is the telemetry you wanted to get rid of in the first place. And chances are you would have to get rid of 2/3 or more of oem electronics. It'll end up a prototype vehicle or something, with

What is an "accurate compilation database"? If you mean that dependencies better resolve = project better be in a mostly buildable state or they complain of undefined stuff that's true.

Did you mean "abstract you back"? Being abstracted by code you just wrote is quite a painful experience, yes.
