Close to the old West German-East German border is this striking feature in the landscape. You might think it's a small mountain or a big hill, but in fact, it's a humongous pile of regular salt (sodium chloride), dumped there by a chemical company called K+S. The locals call it Monte Kali or Kalimanjaro, after Kalisalz, the German word for potash, of which the salt is a byproduct. The pile is 250 meters high and growing every day. The company has a license to keep dumping here till 2030.

@kemona_halftau is there something significant about this time?

morning

nini fediverse

(I really should've gone to bed hours ago)

@6 @luna

the stuff i care about are more likely to be named normally in /tmp/mozilla${USER}0/ and /tmp/mozilla${USER}1/

you… manually put files in the place where firefox and forks download temporary files?

@6 @luna what the fuck? how do you ever find anything? I have /dev/shm/tmp right now but that's on tmpfs and will get cleared when I reboot

@kemona_halftau nini

@nogodsnomasters wtf is going on with the alt text here?

@laru @luna @6 not yet, but they are planning to implement federation

@kemona_halftau weird

@kemona_halftau does it really save that much energy compared to suspend-to-ram or do you just not have working suspend?

I never got hibernation working properly and although I do have working S3 suspend (except on my server, but I don't need it there anyway) I usually just leave my laptop running 24/7 so I have complete IRC backlog (ZNC sends a limited amount of lines only) and so it can keep seeding torrents overnight

@algernon I wish akkoma supported footnotes... actually, I think I can do it manually by composing in HTML but it's a pain to do¹

1. Am I doing this right? ↩︎

@kemona_halftau does the oom killer actually trigger? for me it almost never does, the system just freezes and I have to invoke it manually (it may be relevant that I have no swap)

I feel like this image might be useful for the non-furries this week.

heat exhaustion = get to a cool place, drink water
heat stroke = get medical attention

@kemona_halftau which encoder are you using? when I tested, libsvtav1 was the fastest by far, followed by libaom, followed by rav1e (ironically, since it claims to be the fastest)

you should also check if your CPU is thermal throttling or stuck at a lower frequency. for some reason, my laptop's CPU sometimes gets stuck at 800MHz and I have to suspend and unsuspend (or reboot) to fix it

@kemona_halftau subf

Because the place I usually put my fan to raise its height is currently occupied by a server that's too heavy to easily move, I precariously balanced it with only one leg actually on something and the rest floating in the air (it has four horizontal legs in a + shape). It worked, but fell over as soon as I turned it off. Apparently it was being held up by its own propulsion.
