Assuming lack of helm control, what kinds of maneuvers would you consider?
Audio games are a thing, see e.g. https://store.steampowered.com/app/989790/The_Vale_Shadow_of_the_Crown/
In a world where fedi is more of a set of sometimes-connected communities it's much more important to make the choice of community(ies?) to be part of less permanent. Already today people fret a lot about the choice of instance to join and sometimes join none.
(Somewhat tangentially related, I found the description of desiring a community while having doubts about it in https://clarkesworldmagazine.com/kritzer_05_23/ though-provoking, in that it describes an, I think, common problem that is rarely described in this fashion.)
Is it usually the amplifier or the coils (I assume this is a CRT with magnetic deflection) that fails? Also, did you ever have horizontal deflection alone to fail?
@rust I plan to start prepending "Being fully aware that we have no control over how the Universe works or what the future holds," to all my emails.
A reason why I try to phrase things differently is that "privilege" often carries the notion of something that's very much not a right or should not be a right (compare: "driving is not a right but a privilege"). People sometimes refer to things that I think _should_ be rights as privileges (e.g. being safe when walking around at night). I feel that I'm normalizing the not-a-right status of things when I call them privileges (or part of privilege).
I just realized that I don't have the same impression when I see the word underprivileged. Thanks for making me notice that.
In case you want a piece of unsolicited advice:
When a friend of mine was doing the same half a year ago, I suggested that they install nix on some system they already use and always remotely deploy into their nixos vm/machine and I think it worked out well. (That setup is both IMO simpler conceptually, and is closer to what you'll want to use if you end up using nixos for some machines of yours in the future.)
Is your goal to understand nixos better, or something else?
@Rasta tbf it's not the case that animals can't be frozen (they can if they are small enough: you can freeze and thaw rats)
I really appreciate that, in all cases I remember, you are more specific than "don't start weird arguments", and would be happy if you continued that.
(The reason for my appreciation is that being more specific (a) helps me not fret on whether what I intend to do follows the request (b) intimates that specificity and directness are part of norms of the space, so let's me fret less about people being unhappy with what I'm doing without telling me that in an effective fashion.)
This might even be solidarity with yourself at some future point in time.
A funny place where that happens in imo many cities is buying paper public transit tickets (as opposed to using some kind of app).
@janboehm Was ist die Besonderheit des Pistaziencroissants? Ich kann mich nicht erinnern solches zu sehen, aber würde es nicht ausserordentlicher als ein nüssiges finden.
Ah, wait, the macro seems to affect the names of the functions that are compiled into libgcc, and not the names used to call them.
WDYM by address? If these functions were dynamically linked, the address would be found at dynamic linking time, so I assume they are statically linked and included in the piece of code you're generating.
You probably could mess with a custom linker script, so that the relocations that address those functions would be handled differently. You could also use DECLARE_LIBRARY_RENAMES (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Soft-float-library-routines.html) to point them at other named functions.
I'm not sure what you want to happen when these functions are called. I presume you'd want to write your own versions of them (that will e.g. proxy to ones already-present in the target). That you should be able to do with either of the approaches above.
Disclaimer: I might be unaware of some additional specialness of softfloat functions from the POV of gcc.
I always thought that the reason for the limit was not wires, but heating (mostly radiative) of various things around the bulb (e.g. the plastic around the socket). That obviously also depends only on the total emitted power, but ISTM less preposterous that something could have changed there.
@grrrr_shark does it also affect thirst?
@grrrr_shark have you considered asking at a Brocki? This might be out of their league, but they do deal with at least some large objects.
@dalias
Or, have the instance promulgate different contents of the toot to different people without making any indication that it was edited.
nordtronic seems to be making such: https://nordtronic.com/shop/box-relay-zigbee-890p.html
I have never seen one irl, so can't say anything useful about them though.
Such sinks exist at least in medical settings (as an alternative to an elbow-operated tap, so that you can wash your hands and not touch the handle afterwards).
I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).
