“Meditation” is a very broad term, and there are many types and approaches. Some of these, such as the admonition to quiet your mind and stop all thoughts, are designed to induce a crisis that leads to an insight.

Meditation is about directing attention, and is called “practice” for a reason. Many people think that each time their mind wanders and they lose track of their meditative focus they have failed, but that is exactly backward. Each time you notice your attention bas wandered and you bring it back to your focus you have succeeded!

Theyr’re working on the federation too.

If the recall weren’t such a high bar I’d agree. At 75% though, not being recalled doesn’t represent a mandate from the users. It only means the person hasn’t openly and overwhelmingly offended everybody they’ve interacted with. If that’s going to be the bar, it would be good for the community to have some say up front.

Advice from a long time sysadmin: You’re probably asking the wrong question. ncdu is an efficient tool, so the right question is why it’s taking so long to complete, which is probably an underlying issue with your setup. There are three likely answers:

1. This drive is used on a server specifically to store very large numbers of very small files. This probably isn’t the case, as you’d already know that and be looking at it in smaller chunks.
2. You have a network mount set up. Use the -x option to ncdu to restrict your search to a single filesystem, or --exclude to exclude the network mount and your problem will be solved (along with the traffic spike on your LAN).
3. You have a single directory with a large number of small files that never get cleared, such as from an e-mail deadletter folder or a program creating temp files outside of the temp directories. Once a certain number of files is reached, accessing a directory slows down dramatically. The following command will find it for you (reminder - make sure you understand what a command does before copying it into a terminal, DOUBLY so if it is run as root or has a sudo in it). Note that this will probably take several times as long to run as ncdu because it’s doing several manipulations in series rather than in parallel.

sudo find $(grep '^/' /etc/fstab | awk '{print $2}') -xdev -type f -exec dirname {} \; | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head

If they are temp files or otherwise not needed, delete them. If they’re important, figure out how to break it into subdirectories based on first letter, hash, or whatever other method the software creating them supports.

That was actually a followup to the 1990 April Fools RFC classic A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers .

The most recent installment in the official IPoAC series was 2011’s Adaptation of RFC 1149 for IPv6.

Higher frequency. So more trains/busses on the same route.

Guinea fowl even more so

Lack of ground contact also deters termites.

That’s an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

Of course, those weren’t capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism’s instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

Not tipping only punishes the victim, not the employer.

Not everyone that disagrees with a law is in a position to immediately change it.

Because it’s a shit job with minimal pay, physically demanding, and the hours are usually cut in the off-season.

That wasn’t luck - it was best practice backup strategy.

This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assumptions of average needs that won’t all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.

At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance’s provider list or to search your location here and then filter by “Online” and your insurance carrier

Nah. Replacing the kernel is probably planned for the next point release - it’ll just be GNU/systemd

It doesn’t break apt, Canonical just broke their version of apt just to prefer snaps now.

FTFY

Only reason it wouldn’t work is Canonical killing the .deb package. That was an unforced error. So no, still not a good idea.

Depends who you need privacy from. I recall Stallman’s advice about VPNs - that to avoid having your information turned over you should choose a VPN from a country whose government is no friend of your government. Depending on your threat model, I could see this being the same principle

Probably not. It looks like it’s setting the fake address before reading the tunnel parameters, where the real address is stored. Probably a kludge in case the connection address is undefined so the program doesn’t crash. So check whether the address is included there.

Also check the function that establishes the connection. 10.1.1.1 is not a public subnet, so unless there is a VPN device listening at the local address, the tunnel should fail to establish and throw an error, triggering the exception clause in that code. Again, you’ll want to confirm that in the code.
