Do you want a bit of perspective from someone who's been living under a very thick pall of coal-produced smog for many years? 100-500 µg/m³ of PM2.5 at day time (depends on wind speed mostly, right now it's 550 µg), twice or

You forgot about the support staff. For example, Telegram blocks from a few hundred to a few thousand terrorist propaganda channels each day. I think that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Did you paste that printout from a recent run of units? If so, the currency rates are pretty useless. You can configure the system to update them daily (or however you like) with something like this: $ cat /etc/systemd/sy

Or maybe they actually tried quitting and never noticed any effects? I drink _lots_ of coffee throughout the day (most of my fluid intake is coffee). I don't have any sleep problems, my blood pressure is on the lower side of normal, an

I can't remember the last time I used the arrow keys. It's either hjkl, or Ctrl-{a,e,f,b,n,p}, depending on the application.

Are you sure it's safe? Paracetamol has high hepatotoxic effects when taken with (or soon after consumption of) alcohol. It's probably best to ask a doctor when you have a chance.

Not OP, but I've seen one small issue with using WireGuard on GCP VMs — you must limit MTU to 1380 or it starts silently dropping some packets and leaves you wondering why some HTTPS sites refuse to load (I thought I set up a VPN to av

I appreciate your comment, although I'm honestly surprised that fish maintainers are willing to put any effort into this, considering that fish is a "modern" shell which doesn't take backwards compatibility very seriousl

I think we're discussing UI controls scaling. This has nothing to do with WM, especially under Wayland, it's a job of your graphical toolkit.

Living in a non-English speaking country certainly helps. Everybody around here is using `git` without realizing what it means. Same for CockroachDB.

I am not trying to undervalue your problems, but I suggest looking at some third world countries for some perspective. I live in one such place. In winter (which lasts for about 8-9 months each year) the air pollution is _horrifyingly_ bad:

Except for all the JS-heavy crap which refuses to work properly with keyboard navigation plugins. It's obviously an excellent idea to use a styled <div/> instead of a <button/>. For example, Grafana is nearly unus

It didn't "give rise" to Arma, Operation Flashpoint IS Arma. The original OFP has been retrospectively renamed to Arma (1). Arma 2 and 3 are sequels, and as a big fan of the series I can assure you they feel very, very simila

At least it still gives you the choice. I learned a lot by stripping down my system and removing/replacing a lot of components to the extent that it didn't resemble Fedora (or Debian, or whatever) at all anymore. The amount of stu

Conversely, if you get a root shell on an Android device and muck around for a bit, it feels very, very different from your typical Linux desktop or server. (Which only proves your point.)

Maybe they'll make more of their library available in my country. CR expects me to pay exactly the same subscription fee as in the US, but allows me to watch less than 1% of their library. Of course, I can always try to find a resident

Just out of curiosity, are there any Java web frameworks with reasonable stack depths? After working on .NET Core codebases for several years (which rarely have more than 4-5 calls within the framework itself) I was shocked to see stack dum
