Do you use leap seconds to stay in sync with earth’s rotation? When would they be applied? How would spacefarers be notified of these updates?
Also, what meridian do you choose for this ‘universal’ time? Is it still Greenwich? Because that’s peak colonial baggage.
I thought one thruster has been permanently disabled now? Not that that’s a major problem, but it does eat into their redundancy somewhat.
How will they filter it out? If they just don’t mirror anything with ‘forbidden’ terms, we can poison repos to prevent them being mirrored. If they try to tamper with the repo histories then they’ll end up breaking a load of stuff that relies on consistent git hashes.
That is fun, I didn’t know that was a thing. I imagine that roll-overs are more common than submersion in water, but even so, that doesn’t sound like a great trade-off. Even in a crash, being able to quickly jump out the window is good — especially if the vehicle is on fire.
The front ones don’t seem to be hidden, but yeah - if they’re not meant to be used regularly, people won’t remember them in an emergency. I guess the rear ones are hidden because they probably bypass child-locks.
I don’t know how child-locks work on mechanical door latches. If the vehicle locks when in motion and the child-locks are on I don’t think there are emergency releases on most vehicles? The only ways out would be to get into the front cabin, break the windows, or find the internal boot release.
There’s a panel that can be popped out to open the hood with a 12V power supply: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-34181E3A-B4A7-4658-906A-38C6647B5664.html

For the toddler to use?
There is a mechanical door release if you’re trapped inside. To get in from outside obviously needs the vehicle to unlock, so it has to be jump started.
Even if there was some kind of back-up mechanical lock I can’t see anyone carrying around a key only for this specific eventuality. A glass breaker key-ring might be the best option — along with understanding how to use these emergency features in case you need them. A glass breaker might also save you in a fire or ending up underwater.
Wherefore art thou Gnomeo?
I can see that, but surely there wouldn’t be much difference matching the first 4bits (0x2XXX, 0xfXXX) vs the first 16 (0x0001)?
0:: is presumably all for loopback-type stuff, but I don’t see a reason not to use 1:: through 1fff:: and they would be much easier to type/remember/validate for public DNS servers which are needed before name resolution is available.
Why start at 0x2001 though? Why not 0x0001? Then we could have addresses like 1:1:1::1 or 1:2:3::4.
2606:4700:4700::1111
Hmm, maybe Google is easier:
2001:4860:4860::8888
Quad9 is 2620:fe::fe or 2620:fe::9
I don’t understand why they can’t get better addresses than that. Like surely 1::1 would be valid?
Edit: So IANA only control addresses 2001:: and up and there are quite a few IETF reservations within that. I don’t know why they picked such a high number to start at. Everything else seems IETF reserved with a little space allocated for special purposes (link-local, multicast, etc.).
Kenya believe it‽
I’m using ATmega micros, on my Lily58. If I remember correctly, the default QMK behaviour was to use the USB to select which half was the master and what side it was on. That would work on RP2040 boards just as well so that may be what the provided firmware does.
I would suggest you just flash them both then see what they do. If they are swapped, try connecting the USB to the other half. If that works then you don’t have a problem. There’s no risk of damaging them and the RP2040 is pretty easy to reflash.
I wasn’t satisfied with that method and set QMK to store the sides in eeprom so I could use the same firmware but connect to either one. I’m not sure if the 2040 has a separate non-volatile memory so you’ll likely need a different method. I think a GPIO can be grounded to set the side but the Lily58 doesn’t do this. You could add a bodge wire if you want this but you have to customise QMK to use that method.
Is there any reason to keep the existing set-up? If it’s just one drive, you could replace it with another and install Alma or something fresh. Then you could copy over whatever config the old system had to get up and running again. You could swap to the old drive if you needed to revert. If you have a spare machine, you could stand up the fresh setup side-by-side with the old one before swapping over.
I find it odd, because venv is a “Suggested package”, actually. It isn’t in the list of new packages that will be installed with python3 by default.
I think the next major release of apt is supposed to be easier to read. Unless Debian neuter it.
I mean, we have systemd-bsod now…
Not that I’ve ever seen it of course.
Ah, that’s the misunderstanding. The original comment was talking about “watching something on another pc”. Like playing a video from a desktop PC on a laptop in another room. So it’s the samba server we want to prevent from sleeping, not the client. Yes it’d be nice to have a 24/7 media server set up, but for the simple case of sharing a file from one PC to another, it’d be nice for the server not to sleep in the middle of it by default.
For sure, I don’t know the internals of Samba, but surely the server knows that it’s serving a file no matter how the client accesses it. I don’t think a few dbus messages would cause issues.
I have my own service that looks at the network traffic via /proc and a few other things. That sends the system to sleep itself if everything looks truly idle.
I do think it would be nice for a file server like samba to inhibit sleep using the standard interface for it. But yeah, I appreciate there are complications, like video playback is presumably pulling a small extent of a file at a time, so there would have to be some kind of timer before releasing the inhibition or the system would sleep between transfers.
EDIT: I just took a look; with loglevel set to 3 for smb and smb2 I see log messages like:
smbd_smb2_read: fnum 1712966762, file my_video.mkv, length=262144 offset=82366464 read=262144
These occur at most 10 seconds apart when playing a video over a share from another host. I don’t see why the smbd daemon couldn’t inhibit sleep untill smbd_smb2_read hasn’t run for a minute or so. You could have a script that monitors that log output and does this externally but it’d be nice to have built in.
Exactly. Sidereal time does get rid of time zones and leap years, but it’s still referenced to a single physical object and relies on a arbitrary choice of start point. So it doesn’t create some perfect cosmic time standard.
The international date line doesn’t help since that’s just 180° offset from Greenwich itself.
The point of standards is that they can be followed by everyone. The AD/BC epoch is fine. The Greenwich meridian is fine. UTC is fine. Changing them would cause so much disruption that it cannot be worth it.
Daylight savings can go die in a ditch though.
