You need to talk to your optometrist.

If they don’t give you answers then find another optometrist.

Source: I have weird eyes and my first several optometrists were not particularly informative.

At least the thermal paste isn’t too thick…

Report, Block, Move On.

Nope it’s not facetious … I’m an ICT professional and I see this regularly.

Depends on how you install the software.

If you used snap to install it, then this affects you.

From the article, uninstall the software and use a .deb, .rpm or flatpack installer instead.

Essentially the snap version has a long standing bug that causes deleted files to be stored outside the normal “trash can” structure.

Start your own “musings” community and have as much fun as you like.

Yeah, I belatedly realised that.

Apparently Debian ranks lower than the distros that are based on it.

What ranking are you using to arrive at this conclusion?

Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.

Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.

Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.

When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.

Why do you see this as USA only?

Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.

The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.

I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.

Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.

I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.

So … USA tech workers only?

Fellow computer geek here … also a radio amateur.

No idea what the availability of circuit diagrams is for your gear. In amateur radio equipment the user manual regularly has them, sometimes as big foldout sheets. I’d be surprised if they didn’t exist.

I’d see if you can find a circuit diagram for the equipment, then compare it against what you actually have.

It might be that there was a genuine issue with the equipment that was fixed, or it might be that the fix was actually something else entirely.

There’s no way for us to know what you’re dealing with.

This is the job for the OS.

You can run most Linux systems with stupid amounts of swap and the only thing you’ll notice is that stuff starts slowing down.

In my experience, only in extremely rare cases are you smarter than the OS, and in 25+ years of using Linux daily I’ve seen it exactly once, where oomkiller killed running mysqld processes, which would have been fine if the developer had used transactions. Suffice to say, they did not.

I used a 1 minute cron job to reprioritize the process, problem “solved” … for a system that hadn’t been updated for 12 years but was still live while we documented what it was doing and what was required to upgrade it.

Linux aggressively caches things.

4 GB of RAM is not running out of memory.

If you start using swap, you’re running into a situation where you might run out of memory.

If oomkiller starts killing processes, then you’re running out of memory.

This explains is pretty well:
