Just do sysrq+s, sysrq+c (triggers panic) and flip the power switch for instant power off.

I lazily type part of the thing I want like “sys” and then ctrl+⬆️/⬇️ and sudo systemctl start libvirtd etc. appear like magic.

Every technology invented is a dual edge sword. Other edge propulses deluge of misinformation, llm hallucinations, brain washing of the masses, and exploit exploit for profit. The better side advances progress in science, well being, availbility of useful knowledge. Like the nuclerbomb, LLM “ai” is currenty in its infancy and is used as a weapon, there is a literal race to who makes the “biggest best” fkn “AI” to dominate the world. Eventually, the over optimistic buble bursts and reality of the flaws and risks will kick in. (Hopefully…)

BioShock infinite was ok experince on linux, I have completed it twice. (The native binary runs via its own internal translation scheme, so I suggest running via dxvk/proton instead for more speed.) I would say however that it’ll be a lot more hollow and straight forward “pipe run” than its predecessors. I own bioshock 2, but it’s dead, obsolete M$hit only version that i haven’t played since it eated my save files three times.

Sure it’s terrifying, but you can start a sparky plasma show in a resilient enough container and keep it going for hours and the microwave won’t break. (except maybe overheat.) The microwave will be fine as long as the arcs don’t reach the waveguide cover. (which would risk burning/shorting the magnetron.)

I have done the microwave grape plasma trick myself and started an arc in a microwave. The current between the two objects goes through a very narrow point, which is enough vaporize the contact point to plasma. This then can grow as the microwave continues to pump more energy into the spark.

hardmode: I did a fresh install on a HDD that is on verge of being dead. Every-time this thing boots it’s a miracle. Somehow dd blanking the disk, plenty of smartctl offline disk surface scans and finally putting btrfs with data in DUP profile resurrected the HDD. I have run btrfs scrub daily or else the os install may bitrot and well… expire. :D

Edit: Todays catch, I was too late and now I have fix 3 files:

Error summary:    read=112
  Corrected:      109
  Uncorrectable:  3
  Unverified:     0

Two new hobbies to keep me in the reality^tm.

So this is it. The enshittification has reached slowlorris levels.

I spent solid 10min writing an useful answer and then looked up. Now I want my 10mins back.

The \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI is the only file the UEFI standard says it is required automatically lookup from an EFI system partition. There can many EFI partitions but the UEFI is only required to find a single file per such a partition.

efibootmgr -u can show all bios auto created boot entries (don’t touch those, the bios can/will reset them at whim) and the manually created entries that don’t launch a BOOTX64.EFI named file.

True Arch: you write the image to the usb stick yourself, boot it on bare hardware, and don’t use archinstall. This is the minimum requirement BTW. If you use archinstall you can only use “btw” in lowercase. /s

Nah, I’m not that paranoid and I need the mic for calls.

This might just push my fear of targeted ads enough to give in to my idea of a nearly soundproof box for my phone when I’m not using it. :(

Well I meant two weeks is the longest period i can leave the system without updating and have no problems. And i have yet to break it with 300 pkgs updating at once.

Arch maintenance: 0. Install it once. (The proper way)

1. Every 2 weeks minimum pacman -Syu
2. Every 3 months merge/update configs in /etc.

I don’t get what is with this so hard? Yes, configs can be undecipherable but 90% time the merge involves just deleting the .pacnew versions.

MSRs have negative temperature reactivity coefficient and outlet temps around 700C at atm pressure. PWR is at measly 300C and 150 Bar.

If all control is lost, the salt expands as it heats up pushing the expanded volume out from the reactor core. The fission stops once the fuel is leaves the core region where the moderator is. Reverse is also true: you pull heat off from the loop, so the fuel-salt becomes denser, increasing reactivity. MSRs can naturally “follow” the load, if done right.

Too much water. And it’s all either fresh, slush or solid.

Because of the lack of salt, we have salmiakki. /s

100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don’t think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a … no.)

Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can’t get enough. (not horror really, but still)

You don’t know untill you try. For me, maybe consuming 400 existential dread doses a day doesn’t register.

(/s maybe, this is a tongue in cheek post… )
