Also come on guys, let's prove that the Arch community isn't all full of assholes, let's help this dickhead sort their stupid ass issue.

Like foo said, sounds like a bad fstab. Post your fstab here.

Also, pro-tip: Keep a bootable live distro like linux mint on a usb drive for situations like this, so you can easily mount the drive, chroot, and do whatever maintenance you need if you get to an unbootable state.

Yay! Pay cuts for everyone!

Yep same here..

I just discovered cgroups, so it's cool to see some practical examples here.

Looks like not far off having easily managed load-balancing for I/O which is pretty cool.

ISPs still have data caps?

That should be outlawed by now.

It can definitely get ridiculous, but it is unavoidable when you really start to develop a taste for music.

I have plenty of things that are really old, but the longest in daily use would probably be a Galileo thermometer my dad gave me in my early teens. It looks like this, but the colours have long since faded:

I was too tired to investigate further last night. That is the case here, sections of data are hashed and used to create the certs:

https://c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/1.3/specs/C2PA_Specification.html#_hard_bindings

Which means that there isn't a way to edit the photo and have the cert match, and also no way to compress or change the file encoding without invalidating the cert.

For the suddenly curious: https://qz.com/1732014/why-is-it-called-antitrust

Yep fair.

Maybe I am misunderstanding here, but what is going to stop anyone from just editing the photo anyway? There will still be a valid certificate attached. You can change the metadata to match the cert details. So... ??

Wow, Lemmy is young!

I was almost sad I didn't own Microsoft stock and then I remembered I hate Microsoft and I would never buy Microsoft stock.

We have contemporary definitions of programming and computing, that are obviously the definitions used in contemporary articles. No one is going to look at a bunch of pebbles and say 'it's a computer.' Sure, technically you could compute with them, but then we should be calling the first person who used pebbles to count things the first computer programmer. Which is absurd.

Writing code on paper could be considered programming ("to work out a sequence of operations to be performed by" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/program#dictionary-entry-2) but sheets of paper are not a computer.

What do you think would have prevented Lovelace from actually running the program she wrote if she had a working Engine available to her?

Nothing.

The point is she didn't. Being able to do something isn't the same as actually doing something. Ada should be remembered for what she actually did, not what she hypothetically could have done had the resources been available to her.

Actually, that wasn't me. That was from the article:

Interestingly, there haven't been any identified bugs in Ada's Bernoulli calculation code. Even as she pioneered programming, it seems bugs weren't part of her invention.

So, more weight to my point then.

Then I am a mountain climber because I understand the concepts of mountain climbing and can plot a path on a map to the top of a mountain, even if I never climb a mountain in my life.

What you describe is a software designer.

Because of the rewriting of history.

vs

It's like calling someone the first car driver because they wrote a manual on how to operate a car 80 years before the first car was created.

Idk why the downvotes ?
