You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches
But remember that the kernel knows best --- this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).

I don't speak French but I may integrate this into my daily vocabulary.
As someone from San Francisco, I'd suggest at least looking into it as an option. (I'm a straight white guy though so maybe not the best source here...). In particular https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_District,_San_Francisco
For some color on the type of neighborhood it is, here's a recent incident. Unfortunately it involved some violence, but the good guys won (I don't think it should be triggering...): https://sfstandard.com/2024/07/11/nudists-save-tourist-attack-castro/
Of course, San Francisco being in the US, I wouldn't blame you for trying to find somewhere else. But California (and SF in particular) is very different than Trump country.
We breathed a huge sigh of relief when our kid got vaccinated (first dose at ~1yr old). I just can't fathom voluntarily not doing that.
I thought it was the poop challenge...
I switched from raspberry pi and orange pi to a cheap Intel NUC, and I think it's just a much nicer experience.
The pi is great fun, but the HW transcoding on a NUC "just works," and the SSD and 16GB RAM opens a lot of doors. My N100 NUC was less than $150, and it included everything (case, power supply, 500GB SSD).
My pi found new life as an off-site backup: attach a big HDD, set up WireGuard, and have a cronjob do daily rsync and snapshots. I have it set up at in-laws, and it works great.
I have one SSID with pihole (which I use), and one without. Works pretty well, if you're ok with a VLAN-aware network.
It's a bill pointing out the hypocrisy of reproductive rights.

My comment from cross post:
Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser!
Note that it's not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.
It's on https://www.thefarside.com/ today as one of the "Selections of classic The Far Side comics." Comic says ©1984, but doesn't give a specific date (an image on reddit suggests 4/6/84).
I mean, I don't think "reflexively opposing" is really a good thing, ever --- in this case though "reflexively opposing" and "opposing on merit" would (as far as I know) yield the same outcome, so it's functionally the same thing.
I don't hate Trump's nominee's because I hate Trump, I hate them because they're antithetical to a working government.

Great shot! I live in SF so I've ridden them --- they're fun, but also...they just work. Not as smooth as the new Siemens units that run on the other lines, but they get the job done.
I also really appreciate that they're not a tourist gimmick --- they run a real route, and they take the same payment & cost the same as other Muni bus and rail lines.
TIL, thanks! Edited my earlier comment.
I recently started using voice (SSB) on the HF ham bands, and have made contacts on 15, 17, 20, and 40m. No real DX, but made one foreign contact ~1000mi away and another domestic ~2000mi away.
I live in a city and it's challenging to get a good antenna setup, so it's always a compromise where I am.
Nothing very impressive by ham standards, but it's fun.
Momentum could still be conserved if the velocity is unchanged, but it would mean there's now a lot of kickback once it gets big...
Yeah, the only thing I could imagine would be that image loading/processing uses an optimized library, but a single color is (unlikely but possibly) implemented poorly as a loop over every pixel, with some egregious overhead.
Most likely shit post though... See reply, apparently real!
