GNOME 44.4 Is Out to Improve Epiphany, GNOME Software, and More - 9to5Linux
  • While GNOME 44.3 was skipped for some reason

    Skipped by who? I'm running 44.3 right now

    Edit: it was a tagged release on their gitlab too

  • Systemd: Hidden Gems for a Better Linux
  • I think this is why some people dislike systemd. It tries to do a lot when the nix philosophy is "do one thing well"

    I don't care myself. I just want stable software. People with to more free time can worry about software philosophy

    Think of all the devices you have now that run off a computer. I assume all of them at some point have done something weird and you've had to restart them. Why are we doing this with cars?

    Looking at the date this article was published, it's possibly worse than this makes it seem. This was submitted in March. If we look at the sea surface temperature graphs for this year you will see from March this year it goes crazy.

  • Red Bull backs F1 engine equalisation move
  • I can see a few reasons why I think red bull won't be against this.

    1. They believe they have the best drive on the grid. Put everyone in identical cars and Max still probably wins everything
    2. They believe their aero package is better than anyone else
    3. They were helped by a similar thing a few years ago when Honda was dropping engine manufacturing. Paying back the karma
    4. Helps keep costs down. Making an engine be as good as everyone else is significantly easier than making an engine better than everyone else. There becomes a point when it is exponentially harder to increase performance
  • Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?
  • This is what I use! It's like RPG quests in real life but about really boring subjects. Eg. What surface is the pavement on a nearby street. Or is there a bin next to this bus stop

  • Scientists say they’ve found a site that marks a new chapter in Earth’s history | CNN
  • The tldr bot just used SMMRY to do the work. I ran this article through it:

    Scientists have identified the geological site that they say best reflects a proposed new epoch called the Anthropocene - a major step toward changing the official timeline of Earth's history.

    On Tuesday, the scientists announced the geological site - Crawford Lake in Ontario, Canada - that best captures the geological impact of the Anthropocene, according to their research.

    Birthplace of the Anthropocene For the Anthropocene, the proposed golden spike location is sediment cored from the bed of Crawford Lake that reveals the geochemical traces of nuclear bomb tests, specifically plutonium - a radioactive element widely detected across the world in coral reefs, ice cores and peat bogs.

    The great Anthropocene debate Some experts don't think the Anthropocene rises to the level of epoch-defining.

    Stan Finney, secretary general of the International Union of Geological Sciences and a professor in the department of geological sciences at the California State University at Long Beach, said the stratigraphic record of the Anthropocene is relatively minimal - barely a human life span - given a proposed starting point of around 1950.

    Sure! However it will be thorough not brief.

    Decarboxylation

    • 1 pint mason jar
    • 1/2 ounce herb
    1. Roughly grind up the herb and place in the mason jar. Place lid and ring on the jar and close to finger tight.
    2. Place the jar in the Instant Pot on the canning rack or use another lid ring to prop off the bottom of the pot. Fill the pot with water up to the halfway point on the jar
    3. Close the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 30-40 minutes.
    4. After the cycle is complete, release steam/pressure.
    5. Carefully remove the jar and let cool.

    And because your instant pot is already out of the cupboard from decarbing here is the infusion instructions:

    Infusion

    • 1 pint mason jar
    • 1/2 ounce decarbed herb (As above)
    • Around 200g butter (or other fat/oil). Enough to just cover the herb)
    • 1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin
    1. Use the same jar you decarbed in if doing these one after the other
    2. Melt fat in the microwave (1-2min) and pour over herb
    3. Add lecithin and stir
    4. Put lid and ring on jar and close to finger tight
    5. Place jar back in the Instant Pot with water halfway up the jar
    6. Close the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 20 minutes
    7. Make sure the “keep warm” setting is on
    8. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release pressure for 40 minutes on the keep warm setting.
    9. Carefully remove the jar and remove the lid once cooled down a bit.
    10. Strain butter through cafetiere / cheesecloth / whatever

    For steps 6-8 some people don't like doing it in pressure mode. The alternative is to have it on slow cook for about 4 hours. I don't think it makes a difference. I just do it differently depending on how much time I have available.

    This isn't exact but is close enough for conversations and 99% of my needs.

    (Temp in F - 30) / 2

    Examples

    70F:
    70F - 30 = 40
    40 / 2 = 20C
    
    10F:
    10F - 30 = -20
    -20 / 2 = -10C
    
    

    The actual number is 21 / -12 but this is close enough for me 99.9% of the time
