One thing not mentioned, BTRFS supports transparent compression which hypothetically can increase the longevity of SSD media by reducing the amount of writes to the drive.
I say hypothetically because further information on use case (potential write amplification from CoW) could nullify those gains — but frankly, SSD write longevity has improved so much that it is not a huge issue at this point.
If you don't mind clarifying, what do you mean by DoD?
Merci d'avoir suggéré babelio, je le trouve très bien!
Frankly the best solution i have seen is always a combination of things. At least in the city I live in, people can take bikes on buses and trains, many people walk, and for trips that require trunk space (e.g furniture, DIY supplies etc) there is a Car sharing service that is cheaper than owning a car, or using ride share / taxi.
I don't think waymo is a better option than a combination of what's above, I think it can perhaps compliment it but it should not be the sole last-kilometre solution.
I would like to see waymo-like tech provide better public transit for the disabled. As of now, people in my city with disabilities can book special routes which are serviced by specialized buses/ taxis, and existing lines are all wheelchair accessible as well.
Self driving cars give the opportunity for those people to have even more freedom in booking, since as of now they can't do last minute booking for the custom routes. It wouldn't really create a traffic problem and massively would increase quality of life for those who are sadly disadvantages in society
I'm pretty sure they still are a defence contractor in the US, they also are generally the option for biking computers. There are competitors but Garmin has a chokehold on that sector, with other options just feeling worse.
So while their smart watches are more niche than Apple, Samsung etc, they still have found a solid niche in the smart tracking sector.
I would also like to chime in regarding how the community is quite small, there are two (large-ish) Canadian instances but despite this there isn't really a large francophone population here from what I've seen.
I think the western-anglo bias is in part because the community requires people to host the servers, for the community to even exist in the first place. Smaller regions (such as franco-canada, French speakers only making up ~24% of our population) will make up a smaller portion of the user base and likely found out about the App through other English-language resources.
Mastodon has a bit of a larger more diverse community, but it also has had the benefit of many more years of larger (but still niche) usage and arguably more severe issues with X formerly known as Twitter becoming a hell-hole.
That makes a lot more sense! I'm sad now though I thought this was some cool homebrew-ery going on since the GameCube is just a power pc computer (I've seen people run Linux on the hardware before).
For FreeMC Boot, would you put it on a secondary OEM Card? Or is it best to just use one card for everything.
Sadly I don't live in Europe, and the chain game stores here don't sell them anymore. But there is lots of local places here that have good return policies / testing of everything before putting it on shelves.
Thank you very much for your insight!
Do you have experience with the MemCard PRO? Would you say it's a full replacement for older memory cards, or should it be used in tandem with an original memory card in slot two.
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is the use of a floppy drive on a game cube?
3d printing an IO shield is a great idea! Retro console modding is a great use of a 3d printer.
Frankly I would like to not use Apple CarPlay / Android Auto — however, the built in software needs to actually usable and continuously updated.
I particularly want to see better non-touch input. Rotary dial + buttons à la Mazda, and much better voice input. I live in a multilingual region, and it consequently renders most in-built navigation voice commands useless, as it won't understand language switching. Even Google assitant has issues with this despite supporting multiple input languages, usually resulting in me saying the entire command in the same language as the address. (Or just giving up if the name and street are in two languages).
But with built in systems that only support one language at a time, I just can't say some of the addresses since I don't know how it wants me to mispronounce them in English.
I also have found media playback frustrating in any modern vehicle. This is likely a lot harder to solve, but the inability to switch playlists or change playback settings without my phone connected to Android Auto is frustrating when in vehicles without it.
I know this is very ranty and not that big of a deal, it's just frustrating seeing so little progress in the past decade on this front — and in some aspects like human interface design of vehicles, they have frankly regressed. If I look at the voice input systems on cars from 15-20 years ago there has been huge improvement, but even 10 years ago to now it doesn't feel that different. Maybe a few new commands, but the quality of recognition / utility of the system is lacking.
The wallpaper is just a cropped image from the scans of the games manual found here, note these are spoilers!, Tunic is an absolutely lovely game I have been playing on my Switch and I highly recommend it to people who really enjoy the difficulty of older Nintendo games but want a more polished experience. The way the game integrates the "manual" is really intriguing
For a while I was experimenting with different plasma themes but I landed back on the good old reliable gruvbox dark theme.
Edit: my apologies for not perfectly aligning two of the images in Gimp, I forgot to press the button that aligns them horizontally and not just vertically :p
I just thought I would post what I am currently using! Right now I have a Lamy Safari with Sailor Irori red ink, and then I have my Pilot Prera with Pilot Ishroizuku Take Sumi. For the books, I have 2 Rhodia Composition Books that I am using for Uni and then I have my Hobonichi A6 Hon for planning. I am actually enjoying the new Tomoe River S paper found in the Hobo, but I do know some people think the old one is better (I don't particularly have a preference they both seem very great and very lightweight / thin)
Some countries have a working vacation type of visa, but most of the jobs you'd get with that arent going to pay super well and are intended on covering your living expenses while travelling.
If you're intending on immigrating, many countries have pathways for taking higher education and getting permanent residency & a career after you graduate.
There's also specific industries that countries may give you a work visa and a pathway to immigrate (e.g British Columbia, Canada is trying to acquire healthcare workers from the US).
Edit: There is also the option of remote work, however I think many companies are moving away from this as times change.
