zurohki,

I’d call that one a ‘blue plate’.

Has there been a Sailor Moon bean meme yet?

zurohki,

Found one.

Sailor Moon with Rowan Atkinson’s face

zurohki,

Richard Stallman unjust power quote

That’s the evilest thing I can imagine meme

zurohki,

Hydrogen is essential, but we need it for the chemical industry, steelmaking, etc. Using hydrogen as an incredibly expensive and inefficient battery by turning it back into electricity is not the future.

zurohki,

Luckily, it turns out it’s possible to just start manufacturing batteries almost anywhere. You can’t really get lock-in where you’re stuck with their product like with oil and gas.

zurohki,

You can extract lithium from ocean water, you know? Nothing else in an LFP battery is rare, and we’ve got sodium batteries starting to roll out.

zurohki,

I mean… you can order some right now if you want. Their energy density isn’t that bad.

They’re in the production ramp phase, not the hoping for future technology phase like hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen storage.

zurohki,

I just clicked it and it works. There’s a bunch of sodium ion batteries for sale.

The current fuel cells that waste most of the energy and are manufactured in very small numbers for pilot programs are exactly what I’d describe as underwhelming early demonstration versions.

zurohki,

Old news, it’s been superseded by RFC6214.

zurohki,

My electric vehicle, when set to imperial, will display charging speed in horsepower.

Apparently a wall outlet can provide 3.2 horsepower.

zurohki,

Giving me horsepower for the motor output instead of kilowatts kind of makes sense, but it changes everywhere.

The battery just displays as a percentage, otherwise it might tell me the energy remaining in horsepower hours.

zurohki,

It’s definitely easier, simpler and cheaper.

Water cooling can be quieter, though. Some big radiators and you can cool a gaming PC with hardly any airflow.

zurohki,

IMO, if you aren’t using at least a 360mm radiator there’s not a lot of point water cooling.

The point of water cooling is that you can transfer the heat from the heat producing component out to a large surface area by physically moving the hot liquid. 2x 360mm radiators give you a ton of cooling capacity. 1x 240mm? You can do almost as well for much less money with a really nice air cooler.

zurohki,

Can we get it with five legs, with three on one side and three on the other?

zurohki,

Personally, it’s because emojis are just tiny yellow dots on my phone’s screen.

zurohki,

¯_(ツ)_/¯

zurohki,

I just tried it. Create a “Screen capture (PipeWire)” source, there’s a popup asking you to pick a display or “Full Workspace” which shares everything.

zurohki,

Those can do the heavy lifting, but OBS still has to ask them to do it.

zurohki,

If you’ve got shields and antigravity, do you still need aerodynamics?

zurohki,

Obligatory “just one more lane bro, we’re gonna fix traffic”

zurohki,

Your belief that EVs aren’t ready yet is the entire point of Toyota’s constant news articles about solid state batteries. Toyota also says EVs are toys and hydrogen is the future, but I’m sure they’re totally serious about EVs.

They’ve been saying solid state batteries are coming in a year or two for years already and still don’t have a prototype to show off.

zurohki,

Hydrogen means throwing away 2/3 of the energy we generate. Driving on hydrogen can never be less than three times the cost of driving a battery EV, even if someone waves a magic wand and gives you a trillion dollars worth of hydrogen infrastructure for free. It’s not the better option.

We’ve got batteries now that will outlast the vehicles they’re in. You don’t care that the engine in a gas vehicle will only last 30 years or that it’s really heavy and expensive.

EVs also don’t cure cancer. Nobody’s really expecting them to solve problems that aren’t related to vehicles in the first place.

zurohki,

During COVID lockdowns, when lots of people had to work from home, people who couldn’t work from home were all talking about how much faster it was to get to work and there was hardly any traffic on the roads.

Even if public transport doesn’t benefit someone directly, getting a bunch of other people off the road still will.

zurohki,

“It’s just a prank, bro!”

zurohki,

In this situation one of the players is going to immediately describe to the others what he saw, so it isn’t really a secret. It does make the player who got the image describe it to the people who didn’t see it though, which is a nice little bit of roleplaying.

Secret rolls are a thing when it’s appropriate. You try and work out whether someone’s lying to you, you shouldn’t know how high the roll was.

zurohki,

If you want to make a greybeard feel old, find a floppy disk in his cupboard, pick it up and ask him why he 3D printed a save icon.

zurohki,

I just don’t want him to be able to appeal on the grounds that he was denied his meds.

zurohki,

You can also do things like using the smaller models and textures from the games low quality mode and switch to the big, high quality ones later when they’ve downloaded.

zurohki,

Man, I just used ATM0. I thought I was a l33t haxx0r.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

zurohki,

Sponsors are the biggest argument for not getting YouTube Premium, in my opinion.

You spend money on YouTube Premium and still have a bunch of ads, so you need to use sponsorblock, and if you’re using that just use an ad blocker too.

zurohki,

He loves you, and he NEEDS MONEY!

zurohki,

Minutes later: “Why is my phone signal so bad?”

zurohki,

You know how in the ad the meat glistens and looks all juicy? They paint it with wood varnish. The burger stands up with all the ingredients neatly spread out because there’s cardboard spacers between them.

You wouldn’t actually want to eat the burger in the ad. It isn’t food.

Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11 (m.youtube.com)

The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more...

zurohki,

30% means either Windows is doing something dumb, or the game is doing something dumb and the compatibility layers are mitigating the issue on Linux.

zurohki,

You’d die.

zurohki,

I didn’t even know /r/hydrohomies had an air force.

zurohki,

You’re demanding a bunch more high performance connectivity - which means high performance silicon to run all those lanes - and complaining about the active cooling in the same post.

zurohki, (edited )

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don’t see how that’s relevant. No, I don’t need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

zurohki,

zurohki,

With GNU Parallel and Imagemagick installed, this command should do it:


<span style="color:#323232;">parallel convert {} {.}.jpg ::: *.cr2
</span>

As always, backup your files before you run things some internet rando gave you.

zurohki,

Can mogrify do format conversion? I thought it was for editing images. It doesn’t even seem to have a way to specify input and output filenames.

zurohki,

I’m not sure what you’re asking for. That’s the command. Unless you meant an explanation?

The basic command is convert filename.cr2 filename.jpg.

That parallel command runs the convert command on all of the .cr2 files in the current directory, running a bunch of them simultaneously. {} is replaced with the name of a file, and {.} is replaced with the filename without the extension.

www.gnu.org/software/…/parallel_examples.html

If you didn’t want to use parallel and are okay with it slowly converting one file at a time, you can just use a for loop:


<span style="color:#323232;">for file in *.cr2 ; do
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  convert $file ${file%.cr2}.jpg
</span><span style="color:#323232;">done
</span>

That one uses some Bash variable magic to remove the .cr2 and add .jpg to the file name of the output file.

convert is smart enough that you can just give it an output name ending in .jpg and it knows it should convert the input file to JPEG.

zurohki,

failed to mount root filesystem on unknown-block(0,0) means the kernel started, loaded builtin drivers and drivers from the initrd, looked for the system partition to continue starting up and couldn’t find it.

Maybe you removed a disk and /dev/sdb became /dev/sda or maybe you forgot to add nvme SSD support and the kernel can’t read /dev/nvme0n1p1.

Or your disk let out the magic smoke and isn’t detected any more.

zurohki,

It does tell you the actual error, though. Following it up with “Good luck” isn’t particularly professional but removing it would just make the message more boring, not any clearer.

zurohki,

It wasn’t that they increased prices, they added new fees to things without notice, breaking some business models entirely.

They’ve only backed down on fees for reinstalling games after it was pointed out you could trivially cost a developer millions of dollars by running an install/uninstall script on a loop.

zurohki,

Oh, I recognise him. That’s George.
