Ok. But also - no it doesn't.

"The mother acetifies the wine into vinegar."

Not oxidises. Acetic acid is vinegar, formed from wine by the aerobic action of bacteria.

"My" source?

That means it's an aerobic bacterial process (aerobic - operating in the presence of air, or specifically oxygen in this case). Not oxidation, which is specifically the interaction of oxygen interactions with the molecule to bond preferentially over the existing bonds, "rusting" them in common parlance.

Well, now you've called it out, I've got to updeet it.

"Kei modernized their truck".

Kei is a style of vehicle. This is like saying, "pickups modernized their truck". So let's try and understand what this misguided individual meant.

"The small vehicle that I saw had poor crash handling". Perhaps, but that's going to be on the individual vehicle, not a class, in the same way some small vehicles handle really well, and some fall over (remember the Mercedes A class, anyone?)

"The style of vehicle that is categorised by kei is impossible to secure, and all of them score zero". I'd love to see evidence of this, if you've got any. A modern kei-style car, the Honda E 2020 has a euro NCAP 4* rating - not the best, but not zero, and that's just the first one I found.

Sadly, kei trucks are not commonly for sale in the UK or US, so I can't find ratings for them. There's no reason they can't be made as safe as other small vehicles, only a market preference for larger vehicles.

I was home taught in the UK. Have a real love for learning that's kick-started me into a career in computing that I've kept going for over two decades. Can't stop, won't stop reading, learning and improving. The number of colleagues I've had who just want a TL;DR on a new tech, software, plugin or system is too many. It's our job to understand it, so we can build something so that others don't have to. If you don't want to understand, you're in the wrong job role.

No, that's fair. Coffee at pressure is about 93 - 95°C... No idea for drip/french press/v60 etc. as I don't use those For Aeropress, I'd wait until the kettle stopped making noise, that seemed to be a good balance without burning the oils.

Coffee isn't a tea, as you don't boil it. If you boil it, you burn the coffee! That's an extraction - you can steep it, but it's better if you just push the water through at high pressure (which will royally screw up a tea).

Ah, pedantry in pedantry. So - now for Lemmy to tell me what I've gotten wrong :⁠-⁠D

That's a bit stretched...

No you haven't...

Challenger disaster

Ah cool, no worries. Hard to tell sometimes, and it's better to admit you're one of today's 10,000 than be forever dumb :⁠-⁠D

Ok, I'm gonna guess I got whooshed by not knowing the source material of your response gif

Caught a cold - has ice in her hand.

According to the man(8) page, it will avoid touching any blocks that have the chattr -f flag set, which is XSR_XFLAGS_NODEFRAG... So I think if the docs are still accurate to the code, yes.

A lot of ifs in that assumption.

I understood that XFS automatically mounted SSD's with XFS_XFLAG_NODEFRAG set? Is this not the case?

That's because the drive was written to its limits; the defrag runs a TRIM command that safely releases and resets empty sectors. Random reads and sequential reads /on clean drives that are regularly TRIMmed/ are within random variance of each other.

Source: ran large scale data collection for a data centre when SSDs were relatively new to the company so focused a lot on it, plus lots of data from various sectors since.

Oh fuck yes. I remember reading about this year's ago, glad to see it's still going ahead.

Time to catch up on the lore. And by that I mean watch some kick ass videos again.

Gives me, "right you primitive screw heads" vibes.

I always remember that it's eXtract Ze File, tar -xzf... But I'll be honest, I've not used it in years and years
