my favorite bit is that since the prices have been kept artificially low it’s not profitable for anybody to increase extraction despite the looming shortage

cannot recommend enough the frozen fruit. way more for the buck and more consistent than fresh

To potentially prevent this entire class of npm attacks in the future, you could edit /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =

And set it to IgnorePkg = npm

Your system should prompt you to accept installing npm because it’s in the ignore list. These packages set it as a dependency, so that gives you a chance to notice that something’s off and refuse the install. This assumes you don’t already have npm installed or need it for some reason.

edit: word is that bun command is being abused as well and may be worthwhile including in the space separated list:

IgnorePkg = npm bun

and of course presidential libraries entire existence is owed to the forever-tax-breaks they get to do as a shady tax haven for “philanthropic donations”

how is this not a NYTimes Pitchbot bit

four motors and no gearbox sign me up plz. (also train motors with 6+ electrical phases sound really cool when they spin up and that would be neat if cars had it too)

hmm seems like with herds being at record lows to begin with now would be a great time to end animal agriculture and put those resources into eradicating the flies again

apparently thats 20% of one olympic swimming pool. to use US standard measures

the result now , particularly with net-zero solar where you aren’t allowed to run negative , and especially balcony solar is that we all end up subsidizing grid power on our own dime

keeps me curious to watch for a belt-driven commuter someday

the yolo distro, using their users as guinea pigs to test patches that haven’t even gone upstream yet

now to wait another eternity for wine to have the cross process rendering piece, and another eternity for it to get into proton, since now they just run steam itself in the runtime instead of native

been testing this quite a lot for star citizen which regularly sees 20-40 GB use. zram is the easiest solution to avoiding OOM Killer by a long shot. zswap was swapping over 100 GB to disk cumulative throughout the day and still oom killing the game. zswap is also a pain in the ass to configure for the lay user and harder to get human readable stats. I don’t want lay users going anywhere near their bootloader but zswap is all kernel command line to make permanent changes

sometimes they just do that

oh wow the third xda post of the year about ntsync. it’s been on since November 2025 btw

lmao

I just wish the tradeoff with hybrids wasnt cutting the gas tank in half. why must the range be kept so low

eyeballing it, that all looks like stuff that an organization of that scale would have to spend money on, and better the entity and its sponsors paying instead of kernel developers
