the patience to read lots of documentation.

fair enough. looks like sadness for your transfers. weak usb driver for your chipset, maybe.

done in that order, with the same disk? still might be a heat issue. reverse the order. do linux first, then windows.

although, to avoid the long-unmount issue, disable caching or significantly reduce cache size, and the progress bar will be more reasonable.

Yeah, I’ve got something like this. My WiFi router has aliased over my public domain name. So, it, having the authority in my network, tells people to go directly to the local address.

If I leave, a refresh grabs the IP from a public/corporate DNS server, pointing to our external IP.

It works nicely, even though home assistant now has a ‘private’ and ‘public’ domain name that I could be using instead. Still, one name. Easier on the brain.

I just committed to organizing all of my clusterfucks with Zoos.

This is a really good point. I generally have the opposite experience re: Linux vs windows file handling speed. But I have been throttled before by heat.

OP, start again tomorrow and try the reverse, and tell us the results.

Calligra is blazingly fast by comparison to open office. I’m glad there’s not just one alternative, and I don’t think it’s a waste of money.

Yeah. ‘lib’ isn’t a standard Python library, it’s the name of the abomination that this person created. Since python has quite a bit of useful introspection, they can do something like:

• get the stack
• find the exact call to abomination.add()
• reparse the text of that line, turn the text of the comment into actual numbers, and add them

Now, I don’t know if python keeps the comments around, so it may involve getting the filename and line number, reading the file, and manually extracting the comment text from that line.

capability is fine. Conflation is stupid. You can also use code to erase itself, but thinking that’s a good idea is generally wrong. But to remove that, you also remove the general ability to erase files.

Sure, but let’s just clarify that this is someone going out of their way to create this problem, using Python’s ability to read it’s own code.

Basically, you can load any text file, including a source code file, and do whatever you want with it.

So, a function can be written that finds out whatever’s calling it, reads that file, parses the comments, and uses them as values. This can also be done with introspection, using the same mechanism that displays tracebacks.

Late stage capitalism.

The issue is that capitalism fundamentally requires forward thinkers and enlightened (or at least rational) perspective to function sustainably.

But capitalism rewards short term thinking, everywhere from corporate leadership, to the workforce, to the consumers caught by ads designed to catch and hold their ever-shortening attention spans.

Fundamentally, it needs regulation to thrive. The true cost of a purchase, including environmental and decommissioning/disposal costs must be tied to the initial purchase value. Through this, we might get a functional capitalism.

Nice.

Well said.

Absolutely.

All fair.

Sovereignty is the deeper moral right. It is any sovereign individual or group’s right to accept or reject an authority they choose to, and they must deal with the consequences of that (often implicit) choice.

A sovereign entity who is by choice or otherwise subject to a malign power will become a channel for that malign power, regardless of whether or not they intend to. And even when there is no malign intent, there can be fundamental disagreements between sovereign states.

It is very possible the individuals don’t support Russia. But aside from aiding and supporting defection, there’s not much we can do until Russia demonstrates a will to relinquish a hold on Ukraine, who has clearly demonstrated their sovereignty.

There are points of power (like code run all over the world) that are desirable targets for malicious actors.

So, those who are subject to a malicious foreign power, whether they are innocent or not, because they are subject to a power that is not innocent.

We don’t need to attack those people, but we need to deny the Russian state the capacity to affect those points of power where we can. They claim Russian citizenry, and so they are impacted by Russia’s choices, and the international responses to Russia’s actions.

There will always be something to pick at, and with the number of trolls on here to inflame and manipulate any legitimate concerns, i highly suspect the troll farms and related pawns would find something to bitch about.

The fact is, not everyone has the EQ to state the issue perfectly clearly in terms everyone can accept.

“No, do you really expect me to look past what Russia is doing? Absolutely fucking no,” is basically reasonable.

Wisely.

I mean, do you? This is a violation by Russia of another sovereign state. Thus, everyone in Russia is affected by the consequences of that action.

The Russian kernel coders, no matter their innocence, are subjects of a nation that can compel them to misbehave.

Now, if they were leaving Russia and defecting, that’s another matter, where they are pulling their individual sovereignty away from the Russian state.
