  • I see your argument that thinking how a pig in a meat factory feels is just speculation, but there is a point where we have to think about the future and speculate what could be and how possible it is. If we have better options now, and, maybe not as a single human, but collectively can act to stop this harm with a great possibility, I think it's worth it to speculate. I don't no where you draw this line, but it is beyond mine, so I am willing to speculate that this is the better way.

  • Upgrade from Sony PRS-T3
  • Thanks, this sound interesting. How is the battery life? I would guess android has a tonne of services, that could eat up battery, which i wouldn't really need on an ebook reader.

  • Upgrade from Sony PRS-T3

    I have an old PRS-T3 from Sony and would like to upgrade, but don’t know much about the current world of ereaders, maybe someone could help me. (The PRS is working fine for books, so I can wait, but many websites stopped working and I would like to upgrade)

    It would have to be robust and have a similar form factor(maybe smaller but not much bigger)[3 inches/7.5 cm] and I would like physical buttons, but they are not required. Since I am using omnivore as a read it later app and read my local newspaper on these devices, google play and a webbrowser would help a lot.

    Thanks.

    I don’t need an integrated store or drm reader, I add all my books manually.

    What does criterion measure

    I would like to benchmark my rustcode with criterion, but the information it presents to me do not match up. Here is some of the output I get

    Benchmarking big/big decoding: Warming up for 1.0000 s Warning: Unable to complete 10 samples in 5.0s. You may wish to increase target time to 306.4s. big/big decoding time: [632.40 ns 724.40 ns 899.80 ns] change: [+0.7649% +16.645% +46.889%] (p = 0.04 < 0.05) Change within noise threshold. Found 2 outliers among 10 measurements (20.00%) 1 (10.00%) high mild 1 (10.00%) high severe

    If it took a criterion only 724.40 ns to run the code, why couldn’t it run the code 10 times in 5 seconds. I looked at the outliers in the browser and the one outlier took 1.5 microseconds to run so this could not be the problem.

    Low profile keycaps

    Hi, I am pretty new to mechanical keyboards and have a lowprofile keyboard from keychron. Overall I would say I am pretty happy. The only problem is that I have rgb, but can see it because the keycaps have no transparent section. How would I go on, in finding other keycaps with transparent sections and don't buy wish quality crap that will feel horrible.

    This is the keyboard

    clearnet torrenting via i2p

    I heard it was possible, with BiglyBT bridges, but I never used BiglyBT and can't get it to work.

    I have

    • working i2p proxy
    • BiglyBT installed with i2p helper

    I would have no problem with command line commands

    What portable utilities do you carry with you.

    I personally always have one USB stick with me that has a live usb boot of Fedoraon it, but I just saw the new video from Linus tech tips and thought about extending it a bit.\ He mostly talked about windows tools, but I think I will add

    • https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html for maybe an additional Linux light version
    • https://github.com/TheWaWaR/simple-http-server if I have to share files from a broken Computer or so.

    What are you using or do you have recommendations?

    Mutable or Immutable Distributions

    I am setting ap on Old computer of mine as a local nextcloud instance and maby host my own little Blog. I wouldn't do much else on this machine so I think an immutable Distribution like MicroOs would be the right choice.\ What do you use for your homelab?
