I always wondered if freeze drying my clothes would be better in any way.

Also, for a period of my life, I used to put clean underwear in the freezer. That way, if the morning shower didn't wake me up, getting dressed certainly would. 1/10 would recommend.

100GB?? I'd be more worried about WTF will happen to the rest of my 100TB of storage

What about laptops would cause cancer?

Probably not. They aren't mass produced to the same extent because while there is a market for them, that market isn't even close to as large as the microwave market.

Also, I highly recommend Technology Connections' video on freeze dryers, as it highlights why it's not as useful as they may seem - They have their uses, but freeze drying is not the ultimate food preservation method.

The video goes in depth into how freeze drying works (and doesn't), and I recommend watching the entire thing and evaluate whether you actually need one.

Both of us coped just fine. I worked away before we first met, and one gets used to it pretty easily. Past a couple of weeks, the duration doesn't matter that much either.

Three months. New job, and I moved in advance so I could find a place for myself, GF and kids while they stayed at family.

Other than that, 5-6 weeks routinely (5 weeks in, 5 weeks off), as I used to work offshore. I still work in the same industry, but I'm on-shore support now, so the travels are rarely more than a week at a time, and not as often either.

Her I Norge hadde Widerøe reklame for "Black Flyday" tilfeldigvis når jeg skal på jobbreise. Passet meg fint - jeg reiser om 30 minutter fra denne kommentaren ble til.

I'm currently looking for a replacement to castbox. Castbox us OK, but I want to learn what else good is out there. Bonus points for one that has movement-sensitive sleep timer the way Smart AudioBook Player has.

UPDATE: Testing out Antennapod. Looks nice, and seems to do what I want it to do. I need to experiment with the auto-download a bit and see if it behaves the way I want it to. If it does, we have a winner.

 

I set up a machine with Debian 12 earlier. The partition schema is fairly standard, except I'm using mdraid for redundancy. I made an image of the two drives, so that I can easily replicate this setup for other machines (I have a bunch of machines that I need to set up in the exact same way.

However, I realized after I finished setting up everything that I chose the wrong pair of disks - instead of the 2.5" SSD pair, I installed it on the NVMe pair which are supposed to be used for something else. And the SSD pair is smaller than the NVMe pair.

Is it possible to resize the images so that they'll fit onto the correct disks, or do I have to start from scratch?

 

OK, so I finished this a while back, and despite it appealing to a lot of my interests, I honestly found it pretty meh.

I really enjoyed the realistic military/tactical aspect of it all, as that part is right up my alley, but... I did not care about the characters, the plot seemed hollow, and it seems like some things that could have been explored further were simply ignored.

For example, in the beginning these guys blow up a refinery. There are vague descriptions as to why, but after this it is practically not mentioned again. Whatever movement they were part of apparently disappears, and there are no repercussions for their home oblast.

The only thing this book has going for it, in my opinion, is that military nerds like me enjoy the detailed writing about the different types of hardware involved in the book.

So, since I am by no means a literary connoseur, I'm curious about what others think of this one.
