Memory compression is still available today, but it is built in to the operating system.

They don’t, unless it is sufficiently controlled by medication. A doctor has to sign off that they think you can drive safely. Regulations vary by jurisdiction. Here in Ohio, USA you get a two-part license that says you need a doctor’s permit every time you renew your license to say you can continue to drive. Then you carry a piece of the paper (the second part) with your DL.

For the doctor (neurologist) to be confident that you aren’t going to have seizure while driving, you have to have been seizure free for some time, plus maybe have regular EEG scans to confirm that you are not susceptible to seizures while being exposed to blinking lights. The blinking lights are part of the EEG scan. You basically hyperventilate (on purpose) while they flash lights at different frequencies and measure your brain waves. If the response is too severe, you fail.

Like any condition, epilepsy comes in many forms and many levels of severity. Some epileptics can barely function and can have brain damage from too many seizures. Some people have no effects at all as long as they are on medication.

Pinned (major.minor.patch) versions and ignore-scripts should be the default. It’s insane that the default is to execute untrusted code from the Internet.

It reminds me of back when IE would let me download a bat file and execute it

True open source products are your best bet. TruNAS and Proxmox are popular options, but you can absolutely set up a vanilla Debian server with Samba and call it a NAS. Back in the old days we just called those “file servers”.

Most importantly, just keep good backups. If you have to choose between investing in a raid or a primary + backup drive, choose the latter every time. Raid will save you time to recover, but it’s not a backup.

This is a qualified truth. In theory what you’re saying is true but for example with Synology they use their own raid format and while they ostensibly use btrfs they overlay their own metadata system on top.

Gotcha. I face similar issues with Synology. Their hyper backup format doesn’t seem to be standard. I’m considering setting up Borg Backup for offsite so I can restore it onto non Synology devices later.

Was this Synology by chance?

Heck yeah…Just in time to make a push to finish my CS degree right at the height of the .com boom and Y2K cleanup. The world is my oyster. If I can reuse my current knowledge, maybe go join some startup that actually makes it.

My thought as well. At what point do international flights refuse to land on US airports because it’s too dangerous?

That’s basically what Musk and DOGE were trying to do earlier this year. So yeah that doesn’t seem very far fetched.

I don’t understand your response. They’re talking about SQL the language. To my knowledge, sqlite implements its own dialect of SQL. What am I missing?

Does that include services like health care, insurance, etc?

My fat ass: “a vault full of chicken breast?”

Looks like your Windows 11 update is almost complete. Or it could be fleas, bed bugs, or lice. I’m not a bugologist.

Would it count if they used one of these?

Entertaining! Well done. LGTM and ⛴️

Those lines are mostly comments, right? Right?

I don’t mind that fishing exists and I understand many people enjoy it as a kind of zen. I personally would enjoy it more if it were more engaging.

You’re right, I could just choose to ignore it if it has nothing of value to me.

However, at least in ESO, tons of achievements and rewards are locked behind fishing activities. I could ignore their as well, but I would prefer if I could enjoy a more engaging fishing mini game (like their scrying is tedious but at least you’re actively doing something).

Good point! I suggest fishing spears if only to grief the players who are begging for spears as a melee weapon in ESO.

But more seriously: a spear mechanic at least would have an element of skill to aim at the fish and account for refraction - or something. Not just pure chance.
