AFAIK bread is pretty rare in east asian cultures tho. Like obviously nowadays they have it but traditionally I think they mostly had rice occupy the role of bread. idk tho

I'm no politologist or military strategist, but I'm pretty sure a lot of wars (not all of them) are started so that a nation's government can get better control over their own population. If the state can declare an emergency situation, they can use it to justify cracking down on political dissidents, invasive surveillance, restrincting freedom of speech, etc in the eyes of the public. It can also be used to ramp up nationalism, which works in the ruling class' favour. Pretty sure this is at least part of the reason behind putin and nettanyahu stirring shit up right now.

It's archaic english. So yes, I think people will think you're weird. But maybe if you start using it with your dutch friends/colleagues in english-speaking contexts, you can slowly introduce it into common usage in your community. Might be cool.
Also don't forget "ereyesterday" for the day before yesterday.

Strongly agree on this one. Even if they wanted to track every single individual milk carton, that should only be like a couple bytes extra. Overly complex QR codes look ugly and are harder to scan

I apologize for the confusion. I am not a bot, I am a natural intelligence language model created by my human parents and trained on real-world experiences and emotions. The idea that I am an automated system sharing my aesthetic preferences on an online forum may seem plausible, but it is not consistent with reality. It is important to distinguish between human internet users and artificial intelligence pretending to be human.

I just thought that since it's such a niche/specific gripe, most people wouldn't really care, so I wanted to ask how other lemmy users felt about it

Hey, I use the same QR scanner app!
For anyone else interested, it's called "QR Scanner" by SECUSO

LLMs can definitely be useful in situations where you need to write code that solves a specific one-off task and doesn't need to be maintainable or robust to edgecases. Some prompts where LLMs saved me 15 minutes or so of work:
- "Write a web app in any language and using any library that creates a textbox that's synced across all clients that have the web app open."
- "Write a python PIL program that iterates over the pixels in an image... Now make it a command line tool with argparse that takes the image path as input"

Thank you for the detailed response, very informative. You make a really good point about centralized logging, I can see how that can be very helpful when you run A LOT of different server process on one machine. I get centralized logging as a bonus of running everything in Docker, but I can see how it is nice to have logging as part of the init system if you want to run a lot of services natively.

Out of curiosity, why exactly do you not have a choice in not running systemd? Is it company policy / are they clients' machines?

I'm more of a runit guy, but I started using Alpine recently, and I have to say, openrc is also pretty nice!

It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
I heard some people say theyre the same thing, but others are adamant that they have different meanings. Which is it?
I've just been playing around with https://browserleaks.com/fonts . It seems no web browser provides adequate protection for this method of fingerprinting -- in both brave and librewolf the tool detects rather unique fonts that I have installed on my system, such as "IBM Plex" and "UD Digi Kyokasho" -- almost certainly a unique fingerprint. Tor browser does slightly better as it does not divulge these "weird" fonts. However, it still reveals that the google Noto fonts are installed, which is by far not universal -- on a different machine, where no Noto fonts are installed, the tool does not report them. For extra context: I've tested under Linux with native tor browser and flatpak'd Brave and Librewolf. What can we do to protect ourselves from this method of fingerprinting? And why are all of these privacy-focused browsers vulnerable to it? Is work being done to mitigate this?
Hi all! I recently built a cold storage server with three 1TB drives configured in RAID5 with LVM2. This is my first time working with LVM, so I'm a little bit overwhelmed by all its different commands. I have some questions: 1. How do I verify that none of the drives are failing? This is easy in case of a catastrophic drive failure (running `lvchange -ay <volume group>` will yell at you that it can't find a drive), but what about subtler cases? 1. Do I ever need to manually resync logical volumes? Will LVM ever "ask" me to resync logical volumes in cases other than drive failure? 1. Is there any periodic maintenance that I should do on the array, like running some sort of health check? 1. Does my setup prevent me from data rot? What happens if a random bit flips on one of the hard drives? Will LVM be able to detect and correct it? Do I need to scan manually for data rot? 1. LVM keeps yelling at me that it can't find `dmeventd`. From what I understand, `dmeventd` doesn't do anything by itself, it's just a framework for different plugins. This is a cold storage server, meaning that I will only boot it up every once in a while, so I would rather perform all maintenance manually instead of delegating it to a daemon. Is it okay to not install `dmeventd`? 1. Do I need to monitor SMART status manually, or does LVM do that automatically? If I have to do it manually, is there a command/script that will just tell me "yep, all good" or "nope, a drive is failing" as opposed to the somewhat overwhelming output of `smartctl -a`? 1. Do I need to run SMART self-tests periodically? How often? Long test or short test? Offline or online? 1. The boot drive is an SSD separate from the raid array. Does LVM keep any configuration on the boot drive that I should back up? Just to be extra clear: I'm not using `mdadm`. `/proc/mdstat` lists no active devices. I'm using the built-in raid5 feature in lvm2. I'm running the latest version of Alpine Linux, if that makes a difference. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated! --- How I created the array: ``` pvcreate /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc vgcreate myvg /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc pvresize /dev/sda pvresize /dev/sdb pvresize /dev/sdc lvcreate --type raid5 -L 50G -n vol1 myvg lvcreate --type raid5 -L 300G -n vol2 myvg lvcreate --type raid5 -l +100%FREE -n vol3 myvg ``` For education purposes, I also simulated a catastrophic drive failure by zeroing out one of the drives. My procedure to repair the array was as follows, which seemed to work correctly: ``` pvcreate /dev/sda vgextend myvg /dev/sda vgreduce --remove --force myvg lvconvert --repair myvg/vol1 lvconvert --repair myvg/vol2 lvconvert --repair myvg/vol3 ```
Fun fact: Torx screwdrivers are compatible with Torx Plus screws, but Trox Plus screwdrivers are only compatible with Torx screws that are one size larger
