@harriorrihar It's often to one's monetary benefit to complain about ethical issues of one's competitors.

/* this might be a boring direction to look into, because this self-refentiality disappears if one uses a different definition of "question the ethics" */

@Yora And if your atmosphere is oxygen-nitrogen mix for any reason, wearing oxygen mask makes the situation equivalent to the one where your atmosphere was pure oxygen.

@Yora

Doesn't the threshold pressure depend heavily on what atmosphere you have there in the first place? (I'd expect it to be nearly 5 times lower if the atmosphere was pure oxygen compares to same mixture as air on Earth.)

@FMarquardtGroup @johncarlosbaez

Do they mean that the total energy absorbed by the Earth is ~1e-18W? If not, I'm confused by the units: I'd expect people to talk about power per unit of surface area.

@grrrr_shark I'm kinda surprised that positive antigen test is not sufficient (false positive rate there is IIUC small, and more importantly false positives are not correlated with fever), but I assume this is some weird bureaucratic sillyness.

@harriorrihar

I wonder what's the range of technoliberal opinions on questioning ethics of others' profitable actions when such questioning is profitable.

@rowerowesygnaly Warto zauważyć, że to jest nadal prawda nawet jeśliby każdym z tych dwu samochodów jechało 5 osób.

@grrrr_shark I'm probably stating the obvious, but repeating a rapid test is probably worthwhile (even if only to save you the effort and hassle of getting yourself to a sample collection point if it turns out positive).

@retr0id How does that get rid of rattles? By making it more difficult to shake the thing?

@Remittancegirl @nacho @cube_drone

I think that's what people mean when they say a city's banning cars: that it's banning vehicles other than ones that are ~necessary.

@LadyDragonfly
TIL that there are more bisexual people than homosexual ones. Is expect the hidden fraction to also be higher amount bisexual people (naively it sounds easier for them not to realize), so this might be a real effect.

@reconbot @requiem

I tend to agree.

For example, POSIX filesystem access control makes it very hard to use file hierarchies that are modifiable by someone you don't trust (c.f. the protected_symlinks sysctl).

@niconiconi 3GB of writes to main memory only, or does that include writes to cache too?

@isomer

How do you provide a shared clock to them, so as to keep better sync than the sync between SDR's clock and absolute time? (Does the signal serve as that, or do you simply not want that?)

@stefano @rysiek

Can I copy over _some_ snapshots only between repositories? https://kopia.io/docs/reference/command-line/common/repository-sync-to-sftp/ seems to allow me to copy _all_ of them but not some.

@rysiek

I use restic currently. I remember that one of the reasons for choosing it over borgbackup was existence of `restic copy` (so that I can make a local backup and copy _that_ offsite, instead of doing separate offsite backups). I think I had some other reason related to some kind of ease of automation, but I can't recall it.

That said, restic's approach to being used as a FUSE filesystem is somewhat frustrating: it takes a lock on the repository and holds it until the FUSE mount is unmounted. That precludes the obvious approach of having all your (local) backups mounted at all times (or at least having a recent snapshot mounted). I don't know if Borg shares this property.
