Well, there's roughly 8 billion people on Earth, and the Wikipedia article for "human" says:

The average mass of an adult human is 59 kg (130 lb) for females and 77 kg (170 lb) for males.

Male vs female is roughly 50/50 IIRC. Ignoring distribution of adults vs kids for simplicity, then roughly 4 billion times 59kg + 4 billion times 77kg = 544 billion kg or 1.2 trillion pounds, if I did my math right.

Sichuan pepper provides a numbing effect. It's usually combined with spicy chili to make the Chinese "mala" taste.

The numbing effect was the most memorable part of my experience of trying tantanmen when I was in Japan a long time ago; I hadn't encountered Sichuan pepper before that, so it was quite surprising!

If you're getting the numbing effect then there's some mixed into one of the ingredients you used. If not, you're missing out on an interesting ingredient that you can use in the dish.

Did you use Sichuan pepper?

Pretty sure you can do much better than that now (plus or minus tariff insanity) -- quick check on Amazon, NewEgg, etc. suggests ballpark of $5K for 1TB RAM (Registered DDR4) + probably compatible motherboard + CPU.

You can get motherboards with enough slots if you're willing to pay enterprise prices for them. I have a system with 1TB of RAM at work that I use as a fast data cache. I just mount tmpfs on it, write hundreds of gigs of data into it (overwriting it all every few hours), and it works great. Cost was somewhere in the $10~15K (US) range a few years ago, IIRC. Steep for an individual, sure, but not crazy for an organization.

There's also cgroups and Linux namespaces -- probably most popularly interacted with via Docker currently.

What they mean is you can just do something like mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk to get a file system using regular RAM already.

There's a lot of overlap, but the other is a bit more general purpose (not just new communities). I joined both to help with community discovery.

There's more-or-less already an active community for that: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

From their description:

Promote your favourite communities here, or ask about a community you are looking for

A post titled like "Is there a community for TOPIC?" with text in the body indicating you're interested in making one if not would likely do well there.

What was the most ridiculous or funny boundary push you saw?

Trolling someone by attaching a camera to the ceiling right above their keyboard. I've been paranoid since I saw that stunt pulled... They got their point across about physical security though.

The ones that don't induce a groan are dud jokes.

I've worked for a university before and it was very common for staff to remote into their systems from home -- usually with SSH for CS types or Remote Desktop/Team Viewer/etc. for less computer-focused folks. (The former usually didn't have much issue -- the folks using the latter mechanisms got compromised a number of times... -.-) There was also a campus provided VPN that was required to access certain systems with instructions to students and staff on how to use it, but other systems just got public IP addresses.

If what you're doing is related to your work and campus IT doesn't object, you're probably fine to do it. I've run various kinds of websites and web apps for colleagues to collaborate on research projects. Being able to do things like that is kind of the point of the internet.

Having seen a number of students, uh, push the limits and find the boundaries of acceptability the hard way though... I'd strongly advise you not to install cryptominers, run TOR exit nodes, or torrent TV shows/movies/etc. That kind of thing tends to get your systems in hot water with IT or other parts of the bureaucracy...

I have heard of people studying grain flow, so my thoughts first went down that direction but I was at a loss what that had to do with either quantum entanglement or metals. 😛️

I clearly need more sleep. I spent far too long wondering what "rice physicists" do before realizing what the title actually meant. 🤦️

Nice! Glad I could help!

Should be on your install media. If I mount linuxmint-22.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso on my computer right now, I see:

        EFI/boot/bootia32.efi
    EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
    EFI/boot/grubx64.efi

  

Sorry to link to reddit, but have you already tried the suggestions in this thread from a year ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/16tf1vl/something_has_gone_seriously_wrong_import_mok/ ?

I'd try the "copy \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi to EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi" solution personally and see what happens. If that works, you might just have an obnoxious BIOS on that computer.

In principle, sure. I'm not aware of an existing out-of-the-box solution that'd do what you want, but it also wouldn't surprise me terribly if someone's cobbled something together to do this before.

If I wanted to make something like this personally (and couldn't find an existing solution), I'd start by doing some research into PBX software like Asterisk, what derivatives and extensions people have made for that, etc. -- being mindful that I'd likely be digging into a deep rabbit hole...

You can run docker containers with multiple volumes. e.g. pass something like -v src1:dst1 -v src2:dst2 as arguments to docker run.

So -- if I understood your question correctly -- yes, you can do that.
