This is totally off topic, but holy crap, first message in 11 years. I would have lost my password about a dozen times by now.

Maybe they already have? `youtube-dl` has been breaking a lot for me lately. I've been using the Fedora repo build for many years and don't remember it ever breaking, not once. Now in the last couple of months it had suddenly stop

Greatly depends on the drivers around you. Here it'll definitely shorten your life expectancy if you're lucky, and will leave you with a nice whole-body paralysis, if you're not. You know how motorists sarcastically refer to

Thanks for the detailed response. I don't deny that it might be difficult for someone to work without ventilation. I simply find the air outside extremely irritating to my throat, nose, and upper airways. This "fresh air" fre

We have these old Windows admins now learning to work with Linux. What drives me insane is their habit of randomly rebooting machines if something isn't working right. There is a problem with a Linux box, they ask you to take a look at

I am not sure about pensions, but we pay quite a lot for heating. We do it every month and all year long, actually, because money management is a problem for many, and if you shift all the payments to one season (which is 4-8 months, depend

Sure. They don't seem to have any problems in the middle of winter, when windows stay fully closed for at least 3 months each year. About a half also smokes, and then they "don't have enough air". By the way, the office

Yeah, you "only" need to avoid undefined behavior. What do we need ASAN/UBSAN for then? https://github.com/google/sanitizers/ Sure, Google is primarily a C++ shop, you could say that C++ is to blame

Sorry, I've spent enough time on the internet to know never to share any specific personal details. It's cheap low-quality coal with high sulfur content. The level of air pollution it produces is insane. In winter time you can fee

Yeah, they've been talking about implementing something like that for as long as I can remember. The current system wastes so much heat that it's always 10-15°C warmer in the city than outside its borders. I mean, how much coal do

We have city-wide central heating system. If you don't pump (literally) boiling water into the system, it gets pretty cold in apartments furthest from the heating station. I live somewhere in between, so it gets even hotter the closer

The level of comfort also heavily depends on the level of humidity, doesn't it? Seems pointless to compare temperatures only. Would love to get all the complainers here to spend one month in winter where I live. We frequently have -35

So? The same script reports 11 lines on my 4 year old Haswell. It should read as "mitigated or not vulnerable" instead of simply "not vulnerable". Edit: oh wait, it's actually 12 lines, the same as on your system. T

I see you're using the default prefix (C-b), with C-a being the 'recommended' alternative. I don't understand why it's so popular, as it breaks emacs-style navigation in readline applications, which is great for fix

>PHP Oh no, don't even put them in the same sentence. I am no fan of Go, but its error handling approach is beautiful compared to PHP. Every time I call an internal function I have to go through the docs — does it return a NULL, an

Hi from the former Soviet Union, where everything the state media says is true, and if it doesn't turn out to be true, it is because of misinformation spread by our foreign enemies. I was not aware you should not post here anything les

apt was never superior. The biggest thing in dnf for me is transaction support. Basically, every time you do a package operation, dnf records the changes to its logs, and you can then revert it, downgrading the upgraded packages, installed

Wouldn't it be cool if it was solved on the provider level? They already have to set up DNS servers, might as well make it a Pi-hole instance.

Ads don't fund the communication networks as far as I am aware. Last time I checked, my internet bill wasn't paid by me looking at ads.

Boy, would I love to work with you. I haven't measured it, of course, but I believe very strongly that when I work from home, my productivity is at least two times greater compared to being in the office. How can you get anything at al

I believe HDDs slowly lose stored data if you don't rewrite it periodically? I remember reading some data recovery forum a few years back with the local experts saying something about 10 years of reliable data storage for an HDD lying

This is old news. Pretty usual situation for the MS world though. Take a look at alacritty. In my experience GPU rendering does provide buttery smooth scrolling and output for tons and tons of text. Now you can `cat` that 1 GiB log file tha
