Remember ndiswrapper?

Sounds like a combination would be ideal, but I’m not an expert.

You can actually invoke the binary inside a venv using πthon as an Easter egg as far as I know

Didn’t try it, but it’s discussed in an issue

Similarly here. Have an Odroid with that platform, it wasn’t cheap but it came with several advantages:

• 4 SATA ports on addition to the M2 slot
• Intel QSV
• 2 x 2.5 Gbit Ethernet (I only have gigabit at home though)

Very powerful machine for the power usage, I ran a really old Athlon before though (from 2010 or so that I retrofitted with 16GB RAM) that did most stuff just fine. But I wanted some transcoding and also possibly a smaller case.

I run everything bare metal though.

Luckily, it’s not the entire Internet, just the unfun part.

Don’t think I could watch through beans being thrown at him

Repo means repossessed, which is only applicable to items purchased under a credit (e.g. you take out a credit to but a car, can’t pay it, the car gets repo’d); also they only happen on unsecured loans, it’d be the security that would be transferred to the lender, which in this case is Russian, not Ukrainian.

The beauty of a loan secured against someone else’s assets is that it doesn’t harm you if you default. Russia could still leave Ukraine and propose how they repay Ukraine for damages, which would also cover these loans; in return, they’d receive their assets back.

The money in the end will most likely go to Europe, as in is given to Ukraine who use it to buy European weapons is my guess. At least until the war is over

The way the article is written is that Europe gives Ukraine a loan that is secured by Russian assets, meaning of Ukraine defaults, Russian assets are transferred to the EU.

Though you can also mount one directory under another, so it’s more like a directory hardlink in that case.

It sounds a lot like a bind mount at filesystem level

Renting is quite cheap in China because property investors traditionally don’t expect a ROI from rent, but from sale.

Absolute numbers I could find from last year:

As of August 2024, prices for new homes across 100 cities in China averaged 16,461 RMB per square meter, or about $2,318.50.

In the United States, the average price per square foot is around $233, according to May 2024 data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. This equates to $2,508.01 per square meter.

This with a lower average income in China; it’s usually less than 1500 USD/month after conversion.

Junctions aren’t really the equivalent to symbolic links from my understanding because:

• they only work on directories
• they make use of NTFS functionality and as such, can only link between local NTFS drives

Symbolic links do actually exist: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/creating-symbolic-links

Interestingly, relative symbolic links can’t cross volumes, which kind of makes sense (“Relative symbolic links are restricted to a single volume.”) - volumes are namespaced anyways, so if you know you need to access another one, using an absolute symlink makes more sense.

Just that what a lot of people here would consider a home isn’t what a lot of Chinese people have. And the middle class is sometimes in way over their head for housing, with apartments going for insane prices even for Western standards.

The issue for China isn’t that nobody owns a home, but rather that the young and bright can’t afford one that’s up to modern standards, an issue shared with the West.

Currently on week three of my ongoing break, mostly to lower tolerance as well. I like its effect but once you get too used to it, it loses the appeal…

Well, at least the people behind Commodore are passionate (in fact they acquired the trademark just four months ago…) and the distribution can be downloaded free of charge. They mostly sell merch, but they also have the Commodore 64 Ultimate which is basically a C64 implemented via FPGA. Their distribution also comes with its own BASIC.

I have no connection to the C64, but this seems a lot more friendly than a lot of other companies that just try to cash in on Nostalgia.

I don’t see any issues with these subvolumes for NixOS (though I haven’t used NixOS on btrfs, just assuming it works) – Create the partition and its subvolumes manually and then perform the steps at https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Btrfs. It shouldn’t be an issue

under the grass?

Possibly next to the mother of his children? He would never allow to be buried there

It should have been no email. Nothing about this was necessary.

I’d feel so fucking stupid as a general being lectured by this dropout and a draft dodging president about how they won no war “because of woke”. Absolute disgrace but to be expected for that admin.

Saving this in case my employer wants to send me to the US

Besides. Taiwan is an open supporter of israel. Which now that I say it out loud sounds exactly lile the “Iran threats” said as the reason both Israel and the US bombed Iran.

Without having looked into it, I’m pretty sure Taiwan supports whomever the US supports.
