Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.

Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).
exscape@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?3·1 year agoSame here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I’ve yet to see anyone surpass them.
exscape@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity74·1 year agoDid you post evidence 20 years ago? Otherwise it’s not worth much more than “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams”.
exscape@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs admits he beat ex-girlfriend Cassie: ‘I take full responsibility’6·1 year agoIf you truly do separate the art from the artist there’s no need to defend the artist.
I sometimes listen to a few black metal albums made by completely insane people, but I’d never defend their actions; quite the opposite.
exscape@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining283·1 year agoI literally haven’t had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.
I’m not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.
Mostly for finding information that for whatever reason can be difficult to find using search engines. For example, I’ve used ChatGPT to ask spoiler-free questions about plot points in books I’m reading, which has worked rather well. It hasn’t spoiled me yet, but rather tells me that giving more information would be a spoiler.
Last time I tried to look something up on Google, carefully, I got a massive spoiler for the end of the entire book series.
I also use it for code-related questions at times, but very rarely, and mostly when using a language I’m not used to. Such as when I wrote an expect script for the first (and perhaps only) time recently.
exscape@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post2151·1 year ago“climate change and other left wing topics”… I know that’s basically how it works in some countries, but it’s insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn’t support such statements.
Helpful yes, but far from enough. It only helps in some scenarios (like accidental deletes, malware), but not in many others (filesystem corruption, multiple disks dying at once due to e.g. lightning, a bad PSU or a fire).
Offsite backup is a must for data you want to keep.
exscape@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Sometimes when I say danke (thanks or thank you) some of my friends will say (and the spelling is wrong but it's as close as I can get) they will say danata or maybe it's dinata.7·1 year agoSwedish too. I’ve always assumed the implicit meaning is roughly “there is [no reason] to thank me”.
Unless you’ve changed your vault encryption settings (which is not a bad idea!) it will likely decrypt rather quickly.
I changed mine to Argon2id with settings such that one iteration takes over one second (on a Ryzen 5800X3D, about the same on my phone), since I don’t unlock it very often.
What a bizarrely specific scam. Shouldn’t take too long until everyone in that line of work in a particular area catches up on it.

Yes.
He doesn’t have 15 million subscribers that all hate him.
exscape@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does Microsoft want me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?7·1 year agoThey obviously want their newest/flagship OS to be secure, or people wouldn’t want to use it, and they’d be stuck supporting people on 10+ year old OS:es instead.
exscape@kbin.socialto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting"8·1 year agoIt’s always possible to re-encode video; it’s usually called transcoding. However, you lose a bit of quality every time you encode, so you might not gain much in the end. You can offset a bit of the quality loss by encoding at a higher bitrate/quality factor/etc than you otherwise would, but that of course takes up extra space.

exscape@kbin.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?31·2 years agoNo, because that “some point” will never happen. There is no last nine to round up, because if there were a last nine, they wouldn’t be infinitely many.
There are many different proofs of this online, more or less rigorous.
exscape@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do dentists always recommend to brush 2 times for 2-3 minutes?61·2 years agoNo, it’s not. I have never brushed my teeth too hard and have always used very soft toothbrushes, but I used to brush for 6-7 minutes, and my gums have suffered for it. Way too much of my teeth are now exposed, which is both ugly and causes sensitivity.
In the long run, if one keeps this up, teeth will start falling out.Don’t overbrush.
exscape@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•505 of 700 OpenAI employees tell the board to resign.172·2 years agoWhat’s your source that he is a felon? Can’t find anything about that at all.
I wouldn’t say it’s the definition, but I agree this is not surprising.
Toxic masculinity is much more though. Men bullying men because they do something “not manly” is toxic masculinity. It can be anything from not enjoying sports to showing emotion for any reason (even crying if a family member died).
