If something is Nuclear enough it can generate heat
That's an extreme oversimplification. RTGs don't use nuclear waste. Spent reactor fuel still emits a large amount of gamma and neutron radiation, but not with enough intensity to be useful in a reactor. The amount of shielding required makes any kind of non-terrestrial application impossible.
The most common RTG fuel is plutonium (238Pu, usually as PuO2), which emits mostly alpha and beta particles, and can be used with minimal shielding. It can't be produced by reprocessing spent reactor fuel. In 2024, only Russia is manufacturing it. Polonium (210Po) is also an excellent fuel with a very high energy density, but it has a prohibitively short half-life of just over a hundred days. It also has to be manufactured and can't be extracted.
90Sr (strontium) can be extracted from nuclear fuel, and was used by early Soviet RTGs, but only terrestrially because the gamma emission requires heavy shielding. Strontium is also a very reactive alkaline metal. It isn't used as RTG fuel today.
the waste it produces is highly problematic.
It's a solved problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aUODXeAM-k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhHHbgIy9jU

I'm both fat and tall. None of my fucking clothes have consistent sizes that fit. I'm not the least bit surprised that the clothing industry's greatest minds were defeated by breasts.

It wins by default but only because I never liked the Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky-like infinitely scrolling threads and only use Discord to follow some artists.
The fandom takes cosplay and immersion very seriously.

Bringus Studios presents: Installing SteamOS on literal fucking roadkill
Others have answered, but I'll say it anyway.
The name paracetamol is used in most of the world, and by the WHO. Acetaminophen is the adopted name in the United States, Canada, and Japan. US pharmacies also use APAP. The most common trade names are Tylenol and Panadol. They all refer to the same stuff.
They can tell us whatever they like. They are financially incentivized to find a scapegoat, which takes away their credibility completely. The fact is that Respawn has had a massive cheater and hacker infestation ever since the days of Titanfall 1 and continuing with Titanfall 2 and Apex. It's been an issue for longer than Linux gaming has been a factor, and smearing it on one part of the playerbase will do fuck all to resolve the deeply seated issues with Respawn's shitty software.
Fuck EA and fuck Respawn.
Regular use also fucks up your organs. Paracetamol (Tylenol) kills your liver, and ibuprofen kills your kidneys.
I ran through all of the posts. Literally the community's entire timeline. I've found four that wasn't just an edited meme or stock photo, and none that invited an honest, good-faith discussion of why Linux sucks.
Don't get me wrong, there are lots of areas where Linux and the Linux ecosystem suck. As a Linux user myself, and as an admin with a dozen outdated Ubuntu systems foisted upon me, I'll be the first to point and laugh. At this point I've stopped watching sitcoms because nothing compares to the wayland development dumpster fire, for example.
But this ain't it, chief. Most of the posts here fall into the same category as The Big Bang Theory: trying to emulate a culture in order to mock and caricaturize it, but without understanding the culture, and falling flat on its face. Don't kid yourself: this is a meme sub, and not a particularly funny one either. The moment you stop posting them, engagement will drop like a rock.

You're missing the part where GNOME single-handedly holds back the development of Wayland and fuck things up for everyone with their "no server-side decorations" policy: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408

why are you completely incapable of making a functional website you wet dildo
For example, drilling or enlarging a hole can be boring, but fixing two pieces of metal together is often riveting.
It's a poor imitation. A mockery of the name. A GUI addict's idea of a CLI tool.
I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair's wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I'm using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I'd like to hear other solutions.
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
I use this in Hyprland to quickly switch between the headphone jack and a USB wireless dongle. Executing the script will show a dialog that lists all available audio sinks, with the active sink selected. It requires pulseaudio or pipewire-pulse for the pactl program, and kdialog for the dialog.

I recently discovered that you can paste image data from your clipboard to a post or comment field, and it will upload the data and generate an embed link. I assume, since the clipboard is ephemeral, that the data is uploaded and stored on the server immediately.
What happens then if the embed link is removed and never used, but the file isn't deleted by the user? Does it just sit around in storage, collecting dust and taking up space, or is there some sort of garbage collection that detects unused files? What happens to embedded files if the post/comment where it is embedded gets deleted?
It might not look like anything special, but I spent an embarrassing number of hours on this rice, mostly on the non-graphical user interactions. The layout is a custom master-stack implementation, the groupbox widget is an almost complete reimplementation to support a more flexible styling on multihead systems, the Nvidia GPU monitor widget is completely my own, there are popups and context menus out the ass, and there is a persistence module that saves dynamic data (like layouts and group names) between sessions.
Tomorrow I'm moving to Wayland and I might not have the patience to get Qtile running again.

I originally meant to ask if having /home on a different partition or separate physical device was still warranted, but my ignorance in this matter slowly became apparent.
This is my current setup:
sdais a 240G SATA SSD that only contains the ESP and the root partition.sdbis a 1T SATA SSD entirely dedicated to games and virtual machines.sdcis a 3T SATA spinning rust disk mounted on/home, with a 0.5T partition for Timeshift backups.
I recently bought a 2T M.2 NVMe SSD. I'd like to retire sda and sdc (i.e. put them in my junk NAS/backup server), and then reinstall the OS on the new NVMe. My ideas for the new setup:
- I use the entire NVMe drive for ESP and root, no separate
/homepartition, and mount the 1T SSD as before. - I use the entire NVMe for ESP and root, move the games and VMs to the root, and use the 1T SSD as the
/homepartition. - ESP, ~100-200G root partition, and separate
/homepartition on the NVMe; games stay on the separate SSD.
The advantages of having /home on a separate device are not lost on me. My question is whether the added complexity is still worth it. I would also like to use LUKS encryption, which I understand to be partition-wide - in which case I'd like to know if there is any significant overhead if I encrypt the root partition. I'm also not opposed to using LVM, but that seems like a little too much for a desktop PC.
