Gilliam-esque, the scientists in particular are very Brazil/12 monkeys like

I watched this today and really enjoyed it.

I’m not going to pretend it’s the greatest or deepest sci-fi film ever made, but it’s fun if you are into dystopian; it’s almost Gilliam esc. but it doesn’t quite embrace it fully.

The Messianic cult leader is a little on the nose and as 2D as his realife inspiration is.

It doesn’t explore all the possibilities or offer real depth to what is a complex topic, but as a soft sci-fi story it’s a fun and sometimes funny way to pass a couple of hours.

I have 2x32"@4k side by side at 100% scaling. No way I would switch to a single ultrawide as I would be losing screen size, so I would have to adjust the ratio to make it the same size and thus lose screen real estate.

I also prefer two monitors as I have different workspaces for each so I can switch just half the “screen” between different groups of apps. It would also be harder for my tiling WM, sway, to tile the large number of apps currently split over two workspaces without a lot more faffing.

Oh and switching apps to full screen would be less useful, I use that a lot as it’s just two keys to flip it back and forth. I can keep reference on the other screen and the other app full screen.

Which EVs have front drum brakes?

Regen comes in all different strengths depending on what the automaker decides is appropriate for that car and the budget assigned to it. Cheap EVs like this one you can normally turn it off or on, and may be get a one pedal mode.

Something like the latest Taycan is pretty brutal with it set to its highest level when traveling at speed and that’s just lifting off the throttle. I feather the throttle when using regen to adjust the level it gives me, otherwise it would be an awful experience for my passengers, bit like some one stamping on the brake every time you want to slow down. Using the throttle to adjust the regen is no different to using the brake pedal progressively once you get used to it.

Regen is there to supplement the brakes not replace them for emergency or other unplanned stops. Once you doing an emergency stop you are at the mercy of the ABS system anyway, as that will limit your stopping distance based on the actual grip you have at that moment in time.

EV wheels done correctly actually lower the drag on the car improving efficiency. If they are done really well they also lighter with lower rolling resistance reducing that all important unsprung weight, which further helps efficiency.

Wheels even affect ICE cars, with larger heavier wheels impacting CO2 rating and economy for some models. The VW XL1 is an extreme example of this pushed as far as it could go at the time.

If I am relying on it, I buy from brands I trust. No brand is going to be perfect but some are clearly going to be lower risk than randoms from aliexpress. Its as much to do with reliability, achievable duty cycle (rather than promises of duty cycle), support (especially how easy it is to get a replacement under warranty), how long they will push firmware updates for, than just security trustworthiness.

Pretty much any device is going to have a vulnerability or potential for a back door at some point but the company being transparent about the issue and fixing it promptly is worth a lot. Its the same reason I would have a Google or (premium) Samsung phone, I trust that they will support the phone for the time period they say they will, something I would not do with say Oneplus based on my past experience of them.

I buy electronics from aliexpress all the time, but nothing I rely on day to day like a router, simply because I am shit out of luck getting it replaced quickly if it goes wrong, even if I want to get a replacement. I have a cheap mikrotik hex I keep as a backup of a backup (my APs are my primary backup for my router), and this is fine for a week or so but I would not want to be out a month or more with it.

I guess you could plan in proper redundancy as I have, or may be you can afford a an outage, so may be you don’t need that. If I cannot work, I cannot earn, so I have backup internet, routers, wifi etc. planned into my install.

I think what someone else wrote about defense is depth is the real key here. I have my network divided into separate VLANs that are firewalled off from each other, so one for IoT, one for cameras, one for my TVs and other screens, one for my devices. This means if something is compromised they still have to get across the network and it simplifies my firewall rules as I am applying them to subnets rather than individual devices in a self maintained group. It makes it easier to say block external DNS queries and redirect to my pihole for my IoT and TVs but not my personal devices as I would have a good reason to go external.

May be you do not have a lot of devices, I realize I am nearer the upper end of a home network with over 50 active devices and it will be over kill if you only have a laptop and a phone on your network.

I think a big part of this being cancelled at this late stage is Europe stepping up and offering peace keepers. I do not think Trump counted on that and wanted the deal with basically no peacekeepers. All along, he was was no to supplying security.

This would have given putin time to rebuild and carte blanche to renew the attack when he was able. Putin can’t do that if Europe is in Ukraine as that would be a massive escalation.

It also cobbled in groups from Exchange, and the Collab site from SharePoint. Its pretty much three raccoons in a trench-coat.

Power Trip, with Riley on vocals when they played Bloodstock early Sunday morning, way before lunch. Was a fan of their Nightmare Logic album so I was going whatever was happening, but as they played their set the crowd just kept growing, and would rival a lot of early evening bands. For the last day of the festival, in the morning.

They gave everything for the performance and when I met them afterwards they were just completely wasted having flown over and more or less gone straight on stage.

Posting as I don’t really use splits despite owning a few, but I do use a large selection of 40s and 30s as my daily drivers for coding.

Past week I have been using my Equinox as I got bored with how big my Equinox XL is, I just wasnt using the right side of it past ;, I wanted the same aesthetic but smaller.

I regularly use a QAZ and I have a number of V4N4G0Ns that I use more often. I have another 40 or so boards that I use a lot less regularly, mostly because they simply have too many keys for me or I just do not like the layout in practice. This is the big thing with 40s, way more variation in layout, much easier to find something that fits your particular usage style.

The trick is to make use of layers as much as possible, and theme your layers around the task that you are trying to accomplish. For example, if you regularly use a numpad now, create a locking layer (plenty of ways to do this in QMK) that has the same layout as a numpad. I have a layer that is just for my window management in Sway.

The other trick is to move your most common symbols, actions, F keys, etc. to the home row on those layers and only the most used. Making your most used keys that you would normally be reaching for much more accessible. The big thing I aim for is moving my hands less. A full sized board you have to move your hands all the time, on a 40 I only move to use my track ball.

Hope he cuts a deal for naming others in the party, especially anybody who regularly talks up Putin in the press every chance he gets.

Go to Canada like everyone else

I do not buy that he wasn’t always a nazi, just that when he takes his meds he remembers he has to hide being a nazi becuase it costs him money. This is another example of him going back on his meds and realizing he just made it harder for himself to earn money, again. His mom was someone who actually tried to look after him and make sure he took his meds, rather than trying to bilk him for every penny.

If you are the person asking the floating window question from the other day as JustAnotherKay spotted, then this is how I set a window to floating in my config;

for_window [title="www.youtube.com" app_id="firefox"] floating enable, resize set 1280 720 , opacity 1

What this is doing is selecting any firefox app that has www.youtube.com anywhere in the title and make that floating, with a set size, and remove any opacity (transparency) that might be applied to the window.

You can add move absolute position 0 0 on the end if you want to set the absolute location for the window.

You can force a window to a particular workspace by:

assign [class="discord"] workspace number $ws2

and that workspace to a particular monitor with:

workspace $ws2 output DP-1

If I wanted to do this for all firefox windows I would just remove the title= part from the selection.

How do you get the titles and other components? Using swaymsg as follows:

swaymsg -t get_tree

this will output all your open windows per monitor, for each app you want to manage you are looking for something like:

#15: con "#tech-talk🖥 | 40% Keyboards - Discord" (xdg_shell, pid: 6260, app_id: "discord")

from here you its simple to pick up what you can use for a unique select, so app_id:=“discord” in this case.

If you reload your config file, then reopen the app, it should reflect the changes you made to the config file. Logging on and off in the worst case will restart it.

Mosaic and Lynx on Sun workstations was how I started as well. Back then, there was a ton of open ftp access as well, wild.

Sway let’s you float and overlap windows. Also for both tiled and floating windows you can set the size, position, workspace and monitor by the app id (e.g., firefox) or part of the title (e.g., lemmy).

Yeah it’s wild. I am lucky this one delivered. I have another board that’s at the three year mark and seems to be another year out based on current progress.

I’ve had three boards completely fail to deliver and one keycap set, all with the runner skipping town. It’s the risk of the GB model.

Equinox XL. Europe buyers had to wait an extra eight to ten months over rest of world due to the European vendor not shipping promptly. The board even went on discount elsewhere before we even got ours lol

Musk is more of a Spy Kids villain. Trump is a Lazy Town villain as Spoticus is diametrically opposed to him even more than Robby Rotton. Putin is the perfect Bond villain, complete with his own evil mountain hideout.

He wants to be the hero, he will pick a suitable surrogate that reflects his values, may be kevin spacey?
