This must be the famous Linux-to-queer pipeline I've heard so much about.
If you put the whole ass campfire in the tent, it might fly away. Put the fire in the freezer overnight, then thaw it out in chunks when needed.
Alternatively, scrape some glue off your pizza and use it to stick the tent's bottom to the ground.

Cybercriminals are creaming their jorts at the potential exploits this might open up.
Surely you can. Modern electric stovetops use infrared radiation from a wire coil to heat cookware. The stovetop is covered with a ceramic that allows infrared radiation to pass through, and if you put something on it, it'll absorb the radiation as heat. The technology is also scalable to industrial applications.
I'll let Brown Jacket Man explain the principle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff04ecF9Dfw
(edit) My house has an electric water heater that was built in the Soviet Union. It uses a ~200-litre tank with a large heating element inside.
- Better insulation.
- Heat pumps.
- By the time gas heating is eliminated, climate change will have solved that problem.
In addition, the Earth's sudden stop means that OP's relative velocity is around 220 km/s because of the solar system's orbit around the galactic center. If OP is on the prograde side, they are launched through the air and evaporate before they have a chance to die in the cold of space. If OP is on the retrograde side, they immediately splatter against the planet with a kinetic energy of about 1.5 terajoules (assuming a body mass of 60 kg).
Now, if we were talking about one Nokia...
Doctor Ignaz Semmelweiss in the mid-1800s suggested that obstetricians should wash and sterilize their hands before attending their patients to reduce the chance of postpartum infection. He was rejected by the medical community, ridiculed by colleagues, and eventually locked in an asylum where he was killed.

Not all construction jobs are equally engaging.

I tried sudo for Windows and was left thoroughly blue-balled.
It's a poor imitation. A mockery of the name. A GUI addict's idea of a CLI tool.

Not entirely accurate, the person on the side track should be a pile of money, but I'm too lazy to change it now. Also, imagine, like, flames coming from the bottom-right corner.
How do you manage your headphone cables?
I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair's wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I'm using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I'd like to hear other solutions.
Small audio output switcher script
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
I use this in Hyprland to quickly switch between the headphone jack and a USB wireless dongle. Executing the script will show a dialog that lists all available audio sinks, with the active sink selected. It requires pulseaudio
or pipewire-pulse
for the pactl
program, and kdialog
for the dialog.

"Shame on you!" - DT, 2023
I'm not trying to attack him, but this is pretty funny.
Context: 11 days ago DT released a video where he called out the people who refer to Linux distributions as "Linux" as opposed to "GNU/Linux". Today he released a video where he did exactly that.

What happens to images that are uploaded, but never used?
I recently discovered that you can paste image data from your clipboard to a post or comment field, and it will upload the data and generate an embed link. I assume, since the clipboard is ephemeral, that the data is uploaded and stored on the server immediately.
What happens then if the embed link is removed and never used, but the file isn't deleted by the user? Does it just sit around in storage, collecting dust and taking up space, or is there some sort of garbage collection that detects unused files? What happens to embedded files if the post/comment where it is embedded gets deleted?
[Qtile] I spent way too much time on this.
It might not look like anything special, but I spent an embarrassing number of hours on this rice, mostly on the non-graphical user interactions. The layout is a custom master-stack implementation, the groupbox widget is an almost complete reimplementation to support a more flexible styling on multihead systems, the Nvidia GPU monitor widget is completely my own, there are popups and context menus out the ass, and there is a persistence module that saves dynamic data (like layouts and group names) between sessions.
Tomorrow I'm moving to Wayland and I might not have the patience to get Qtile running again.

Advice needed for partitioning a desktop PC
I originally meant to ask if having /home
on a different partition or separate physical device was still warranted, but my ignorance in this matter slowly became apparent.
This is my current setup:
sda
is a 240G SATA SSD that only contains the ESP and the root partition.sdb
is a 1T SATA SSD entirely dedicated to games and virtual machines.sdc
is a 3T SATA spinning rust disk mounted on/home
, with a 0.5T partition for Timeshift backups.
I recently bought a 2T M.2 NVMe SSD. I'd like to retire sda
and sdc
(i.e. put them in my junk NAS/backup server), and then reinstall the OS on the new NVMe. My ideas for the new setup:
- I use the entire NVMe drive for ESP and root, no separate
/home
partition, and mount the 1T SSD as before. - I use the entire NVMe for ESP and root, move the games and VMs to the root, and use the 1T SSD as the
/home
partition. - ESP, ~100-200G root partition, and separate
/home
partition on the NVMe; games stay on the separate SSD.
The advantages of having /home
on a separate device are not lost on me. My question is whether the added complexity is still worth it. I would also like to use LUKS encryption, which I understand to be partition-wide - in which case I'd like to know if there is any significant overhead if I encrypt the root partition. I'm also not opposed to using LVM, but that seems like a little too much for a desktop PC.
