You’re able to run MemTest? That’d suggest it’s not actually fried if it can still run things.
Check your BIOS/UEFI to see if Secure Boot was re-enabled. If your CMOS battery died and you didn’t notice, your machine config could have reset to its default values during the power loss.
Just take the first panel, but the end of the parchment goes into a shredder.
How big is 10 MB anyway?
To be honest, after typing all these numbers, 10 MB doesn’t even feel that big or special. Seems like shipping 10 MB of code is normal now.
If we assume that the average code line is about 65 characters, that would mean we are shipping ~150,000 lines of code. With every website! Sometimes just to show static content!
And that code is minified already. So it’s more like 300K+ LoC just for one website.
An important takeaway, as I feel byte size can be hard for people to intuitively visualize. And for those who didn’t read the article, many of the sites tested sent significantly more than 10 megs of JS, even sites containing nothing more than simple input boxes that should be doing any processing server-side.
I want to see the difference with ad-block enabled. Analytics and tracking are certainly complex enough to account for a lot of that payload. Same with an addon like Decentraleyes to see how much is bloated frameworks that could easily be cached locally.
Posits aside, that page had one of the best, clearest explanations of how floating point works that I’ve ever read. The authors of my college textbooks could have learned a thing or two about clarity from this writer.
You mean to say, you’re having trouble finding it?
It should switch to it automatically now, but you can try the manual flag if it doesn’t.
If neither works, symbolic linking yt-dlp and youtube-dl should.
YouTube-dl
Just a heads up, yt-dlp is a far more active fork with more features.
The vulnerability is in the library’s logging function, which is coded in the C language. musl is also C (afaik), it’s just a more modern, safer rewrite of libc.
I’m not sure what you mean by a “vulnerability in the logs”. In a logger or parser, sure, but did you think text data at rest was able to reach out and attack your system?
Simple Mobile Tools (the creator of Simple Gallery, a very popular gallery app) sold out to a scummy ad company. This is a fork of the Simple Gallery app that won’t include all the telemetry and ads the new owners will inject it with.
Excellent news! Now to wait for PolymorphicShade’s SponsorBlock fork to follow suit.
This is why modding games is great. Most of the hard engine and framework stuff is already done for you, so you get to focus on content creation (the “fun” part).
Still difficult, but it requires a fraction of the time and effort that making a game from scratch would take.
Aves Libre is amazing and I wish I switched from Simple Gallery ages ago. It’s better in almost every single way*. It’s also stupidly fast in comparison to Simple Gallery. Gallery could take twenty to thirty seconds to finish background loading (and when it did it’d shunt you back to the first picture you opened if you were in the image viewer), and a full library refresh could take a minute or more before new images show up. Aves loads basically instantly and doesn’t miss a single thing.
^(* Aves doesn’t have Gallery’s editing capabilities, but if you don’t need them or are willing to download a separate app it’s perfect.)
For that last one, try disabling Fast Boot in your BIOS/UEFI. That may be the culprit.
Ubuntu used to ship out free installation CDs. Since it was free, I figured why the hell not. Played around with it, loved it, but didn’t use it for much more than messing around.
A decade later those fond memories enticed me to buy a Raspberry Pi and play around with Linux again, and a few years later it became my main OS. It’s just so much fun to tinker with in a way that Windows never was, and nowadays it runs almost everything without a problem.
