I used to work on turbines, and I can attest the bird argument is very blown out of proportion. In my time working on turbines I never saw a single dead bird near the bases. We had a farm of Vestas V112-3.3mw turbines. Noise i can see, those blades whip through the air and cause almost the same sound as a distant jet as they whip by. Its not too loud unless winter then its very noticeable when the blades ice up. The hydraulics and such can be loud as well but its not terribly loud.

However the biggest thing I noticed was how not green they are when it comes to the lubricants. Its not uncommon to have the pitch cylinders leak, and fill the hub and spinner with oil. Lots of times the blade bearing grease would overfill the cups and throw grease in the spinner. Another thing is the hydraulic systems would leak and cause excessive oil spillage, which sometimes would make its way out into the world. We could only clean with rags and pig mats so its super oily and greasy everywhere. The cooling systems would also leak and usually spill many gallons of coolant out into the wind.

There are plenty of Systemdless forks of distros. People do maintain and it works well. However, the issue is to make the forks its incredibly labor intensive for coders and while not impossible to remove systemd, it's extremely hard. When base apps require systemd, it locks you down to that one system which is why people hate it so much. It centralizes code and the systems and prevents ease of choice. Does it work? Yes. Though even if it doesn't affect you or your thoughts, its good to understand why there is a divide. I personally use Artix Linux at the moment with S6 as my init system and it works great. I get why people like Systemd, but I feel it sterilizes our freedom of choice like a frog in a pot of water.

To anyone who finds this and has had this issue: appears to have been solved for me by changing my file descriptors limit from 4096 to 524288.

 

Been looking for a solution for a bit, trying out many possible solutions, and SteamVR fails out with a Valve Index with an error code 460. I have tried it under Void Linux as well with the same code, but Devuan it worked however proton failed out. Everything works under Windows, just trying to migrate over to Linux for my primary!

When this failure happens, the headset still tracks, and I can see in it's displays, it tracks the controllers, etc. However Steam appears to be unable to hook it to games, causing the room setup to not even see the headset as connected. It does show in SteamVR's debug as connected and all the input buttons work. I cannot find anything on Google for error 460, and both my Void and Artix installs have this issue

Not all, my isp expanded a fiber network to me. I live deep on a dirt road in the middle of the woods in the middle of nowhere. Sure some pocketed but its unfair to say all did.

Yes, cell/radio towers operate on Line of Sight. In flat, no vegetation lands you can see for data towers maybe 5 to 10 miles of range radius from the tower. In more realistic conditions you see 2 to 4 miles at best range. You'd be surprised how many cellular towers there are everywhere hiding in plain sight, since the high frequency bands such as 1900mhz don't have penetration like 600mhz bands do. Lower frequency tends to not be as fast as higher frequency bands so its usually a tradeoff for speed or range. Before I was running Starlink I used to run 4G internet, and because where I live is rural, hilly, and full of trees, I had no direct line of sight. 1000 dollars in special parabolic radio antennas were required to focus on signal reflections to get data signal and even then I only had 3 bars roughly of signal. The tower is about 3.5mi away as the crow flies.

While I think Musk is an idiot, Starlink before I had fiber ran to me for some ungodly reason was a godsend. Also, space is big. 42000 satellites is still super insignificant in spaceborne objects over the planet. Also their design is so they burn up relatively quickly, and do not hang out in orbit for long, iirc only a couple years and constantly need to burn to maintain altitude. Sure they look like shit in the sky, but having the network like this is great for rural areas where there is no cell phone or internet service. But, the whole thing isn't very sustainable

I mean, as an asexual its hit and miss if I enjoy it. Like, being such a small subset i feel removed from most societal norms. Those with a sex drive, regardless who its for, still fit in to the sexual nature of human existence while I don't. I don't get off nor do I have attractions to any gender, I lack all of a sex drive so I am mainly one who views everything from the outside. Then again I love it as I am not distracted by anything and don't have those sexual vices. I however don't really come out to anyone about it unless it comes up in conversation, as most people don't seem to understand how it's even possible. I been told many times that I am lying or I just haven't found the right person yet.

John Oliver is a good sport about it, one, secondly he is a goofy motherfucker, third he has a track record of calling out things for being shitty/bad in ridiculous ways. So, it's totally a John Oliver thing to do, to make all of Reddit about John Oliver because of the API change. It's silly, it calls out the shitty practices, and honestly the whole practice will stick in the minds of people better than just a blackout/complaining. On top of all this, it has the possibility of being brought to his show when the strike is over, which'll further the goal of the protests

ASCII pictures of John Oliver within command lines/terminals

we can rest assured that John Oliver is collecting all the sexy pics people photoshop/post and is going to put together a Last Week Tonight episode on this, once the strike is over.

 

I keep looking back at what's happening with Reddit, not because I want to go back, but just morbid curiosity on if they will ever get their head out of their ass. The more I see, the more I feel the move to kbin was the right move. Removing mods, falsifying information, lying, deception, and just not listening to the community. Not only that, just looking at the content post blackout and it isn't the same anymore.
