Does anybody know what the hell happened to the Funtoo project and what Daniel Robbins is up to nowadays? I heard the OG Gentoo project was taken over after he left to wageslave a while and make ends meet but that he couldn't retake its reins once he did try to come back, then coming up with the Funtoo project, which died a few years ago, but the page (https://www.funtoo.org/) was updated recently and I haven't seen anyone comment on it. Is anyone out there in the know of whatever it is that they're brewing?>haibane attached for your viewing pleasure and maximizing anon engagementI also remember some anons working on a s6 + xenocara + portage based distro, any of you still out there?

Wow I made someone really angry.
Why are people so afraid of nuclear energy?
>>107912736You almost got it. The main reasons are thus:1. The oil and gas industry funded a LOT of propaganda to make people scared of it2. This lowers property values in any area you build one - enough to make the overall loss of value greater than the cost of the plantAnd so, no plant can ever be built.
>>107909385Don't even look into what happens when a structure covered in solar panels burns down.
>>107908770Commie incompetence.
>>107910463>9/11 happened, so no one ever built high-rises again
>>107912338This.Back when renewables were expensive novelties the coal and oil shills were anti-nuclear because that was the biggest threat to fossil fuels.Now that renewables are the cheapest source of bulk power and economic energy storage is getting close fossil fuels are denigrating renewables and shilling pro-nuclear. The fact that any new western nuclear projects would take like 20+ years and go three to ten times over budget is a feature not a bug.
Does anyone else hate modern YouTube? I miss the times when the YouTube homepage wasn't a fucking feed but just the latest videos from your subscriptions. While the "Browse" button ('member that?) at the top would take you to the page with all the viral videos from across the world.But now, being on YouTube feels like you're hooked onto some kind of drug, because the algorithm tracks your viewing habits and patterns and fills your feed with videos that will keep you endlessly watching one video after another, and by the end of the day you feel like your brain literally rotted a bit from mindlessly consooming bullshit content you didn't need or ask for.Not to mention, they way YouTube videos themselves are produced these days seems like they're specifically designed to induce anxiety and break your mind from over-stimulation.
>>107917532>open video>black screen with spinning wheel and youtube logo>click play>nothing happens>click youtube "play" icon on video>nothing happens>try skipping forward 5 seconds>nothing happens>click refresh>video instantly starts playing for 0.1 seconds before page reloads>black screenat this point I just download everything and use VLC, their streaming player is intentional dogshit if you don't use Chrome
>>107913537What the fuck are you talking about? I can't find a single video to watch! What are you hooked on I have to know.
>>107917860I get the same issue but I think it's to punish you for blocking ads
You dont understand how much pain and suffering i've had using this website.I'm not even being hyperbolic or ironic. I hate how it's the only video sharing site that everyone uses and theres no alternative. I HATE the way it's designed and how hard it is to change it. I've tried everything i could but couldn't make it any less insufferable than it's designed to be.The closest things there are to make it more tolerable is a good adblocker or a tweaked client. You can't use unofficially built clients because youtube likes to break down when it's used any way that's not it's own.At least i can come here to complain about it. Like a little bitch faggot with a L stamped onto my forehead.
>>107917860youtube is so painful on firefoxinterestingly, if the video is embedded on another website (here, for example), it loads instantly

you... don't store data on ssd/nvme, right anon?>SSDs (including NVMe, which is just a fast PCIe-connected SSD) store data in NAND flash by trapping electrical charge in cells. Over time, especially when left **unpowered**, that charge slowly leaks. As the charge level drifts, the controller may misread bits, leading to **bit rot** or uncorrectable errors. Unlike HDDs, SSDs need periodic power so the controller can refresh weak cells and rewrite data. High temperatures, higher-density NAND (TLC/QLC), and cells with many prior writes all accelerate charge loss.>Modern SSDs use **ECC (error-correcting codes)**, so early corruption is often silently corrected. Problems start when errors exceed ECC limits: files may fail checksums, decompress incorrectly, or become unreadable. Consumer SSDs are typically rated to retain data **~1 year unpowered** at room temperature after being written, but this is a minimum spec. In real-world conditions, data loss has been observed in **months** for heavily worn drives or those stored hot; enterprise drives often do better but are not immune.>Detection relies on **hashes** (e.g., SHA-256) or parity recorded when data is known-good. Periodically re-hashing and comparing detects silent corruption that the filesystem may miss. Filesystems like **ZFS or Btrfs** automate this via checksums and scrubbing. Mitigation is simple: keep multiple copies, periodically power SSDs and rewrite data, store them cool, and never rely on a single unpowered SSD for long-term archival storage.
>>107909843where do you keep the konata pics for your avatar posting
>>107915371It won't be illegal but it will still get the cops called on him. Shit was wild back then.
>>107906684The real solution is also hilariously simple, but has been rejected by zoomers who seem to think that any storage that doesn't use flash memory is outdated and uncool.
>>107917744Except it really isn't. Optical doesn't require refrigeration but it does require a blu-ray read/write drive, which isn't found in modern computers. IMHO sticking an SSD in a refrigerator outweighs the hassle of optical storage media.
>>107911941add a dessicant to absorb any remaining moisture so it can't condense on the boards and it should be good
you're going to feel better when you stop caring about it. I have a lot of kaczynski adjacent anti tech sentiment especially towards smartphones but the world you grew up is not returning. Western people especially today want to live in the past but you will feel much better when let yourself go with the flow and accept that world changes constantly. cherish the past but find good things to have hope about the futurePeople never wanted cars before they got to use them. A lot of people were skeptical, and cars have negatively changed human life by eroding local communities through city planning as an example. Most technology has affected human life negatively because human psychology is not adapted to social and economic structure of modern world but there's nothing you can do about it. you could become amish, but if you want to participate in modern society you just have to accept that it's here to stay. For now the techonology has stagnated and its influence seems to be somewhat major but still limited. Just treat it as another tool. I've challanged myself to utilize LLMs, try to find a way it makes your life easier. Google search has become useless, my favorite way of thinking about LLMs is as an aggregate of knowledge you can find on the internet. I use it to summarize things for i know other people have asked. I like using it for cooking, it's pretty nice for making problems for learning especially language learning, you can push it to explain to you things that would've taken hours to research on their own about biology or economy if you know how it works.yeah the internet is botted to shit and it only accelerated the slopification of products but what can you do? replace your time on the internet with something else, maybe old media? exercise? learn something new?
>>107916691Retards who rejected good tech in the first place (that includes you, OP) are too low IQ to be deserving of it to begin with.
>>107916691>I have a lot of kaczynski adjacent anti tech sentiment especially towards smartphones but the world you grew up is not returning.Smartphones didn't cause people to lose their jobs en masse. Once that fully kicks in with AI (assuming the bubble doesn't pop and bring everything crashing down), a new generation of Kaczynskis will emerge targeting data centers/tech oligarchs/etc.
>>107917791>not because of ai, but because of covidforgot picrel<this is the nature of how coof impacted the job market
>>107917873>just use it yourself, problem solvedYeah that’s what I’m starting to do, before that, I had been avoiding AI like the plague because "muh my code must have soul" but it seems that it’s impossible now.>you will own nothing, and you will be happyYeah that shit is scary. I remember years ago when google tried to shill their google stadia, but it never took off, but today things are quite different, there are better internet connection, more people spend even more time on the internet, etc. plus , now they can use AI as an excuse to force digital ID or some draconian shit>>107917880Yes I think that many nerd flamewars are more "intellectual" or technical oriented. But in the end after a tech discussion at least you "learn" something new or interesting related to tech, meanwhile with normies it’s just psychological abuse lol.Anyway anon, I’m going to bed, have a nice day or night and good luck with your projects if you are building something.
>>107918061its nice to see good people still post on this board.good luck to you too, anon. were probably gonna need it.and good night.
How can I speed up my editing process?I have a YouTube channel with about 10k subscribers and it's worth it for me to upload on it because I manage to get 500 to 1k USD worth of revenue out of it and built somewhat of a following.But I struggle to finish videos because Lord, it's so fucking tedious. I use kdenlive and I'm not sure how others do to release videos with honestly often better editing than me in record time.What are some tips and tricks I could use to speed up my editing?I have no problem with writing scripts or generating ideas but the editing process is so fucking tedious man
>>107914671>>107914686I have thought about hiring an editor, but the biggest issue would be finding a good one that could replicate my kind of creativity and sense of humor (not to sound arrogant). There are tons of little things or jokes in my editing that you won't get or be able to make unless you understand the niche I make videos for and viewers notice/tune in for these.But I guess a potential solution would be to hire an editor to edit most of the the boring tedious details to edit, and then I just download the file they created and add a few things here and there?And another potential solution would be to add some editing notes/ideas in the script that the editor will try replicate? It takes little time to describe an editing idea vs. actually doing it I suppose.Yeah maybe I should consider this again...
>>107914671>for any video longer than 10 minutesLikewise.I only have one video under 10 minutes. My average video is 35 minutes long.
>youtube menKill yourselves.
>>107914647Depending on your subject matter you could try switching to a different style of video that requires very little editing. See bigclive as an example, he rarely seems to do any editing beyond cutting out dead air with "one moment please...".To pull this off while maintaining decent quality you'll probably need to use the time you would have spent editing on more prep and rehearsal. So you might not technically save much time, but it could be less daunting/draining.
>>107914647Watch Youtube tutorials. Not kidding. Also ask Grok for tips.

What is /g/'s opinion on this? I used to see Wayland as this premature, non-necessary replacement for X11 being pushed by the globohomo, kind of like Rust is to C, but after looking into it, it seems like it is actually a much more sensible and simple solution.
>>107917887Wayland may be wank, but it's wank that works with HDR.
>>107910323>Wayland>simple solutionlollmao even.it does work though, if you have a good compositor. personally rooting for phoenix to win in the end, even while using wayland right now (mostly for sunshine/moonlight with different server/client resolutions).
>>107917892lol, lmaolast i checked (a few months ago) it's still mostly broken, hardly working, barely even used by games to begin with, and FUBAR on nvidia
>>107917911Works on my machine. Maybe you should stop using Xfce as your testbed for Wayland.
Genuinely convinced the only niggers that like X11 are broke bums that use hardware that wasn't considered modern even 15 years ago.
