I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.
Just because no one else has said, Adam has been involved in EFF for a long time. EEF Podcast episode with him in it:

Which delights me as he’s more mainstream and so wakes people up to things like the Right To Repair movement.
But super important and not done enough! Disproving something can save humanity such time.
Also depends on the country. It isn’t everywhere. Non-commercial file-sharing is legal in a number of European countries and I’m sure elsewhere.
It could be taken as a sign of the health of the democracy’s function and technically literacy of the population. In a society of tech heads with a highly functional democracy, it would be DRM measures that would be illegal…
Just a follow up to this.
So I never ended up contacting O2 to say “please stop this”, I just used Wireguard to home and ignored it. Until the local Morrison’s wifi started doing the same thing but worse and I couldn’t event Wireguard round it.
So I finally just bought a domain and setup my Apache to redirect the old duckdns to the new domain.
So far this all seams to be working great.
You can do it, but you also need to test it all.
Not just ADHD folk. I’ve had programmers like that, swinging from “I can’t do it” to “I don’t need to test that”.
Any UTC type is going to do native time and convert for display.
But with native time directly, you can just an int64 with loads of space for fine resolution via multiplication.
Storing time broken up into separate units is crazy.
The only code with timezones should be the bit squishy meat bags touch. Everything’s is should be UNIX time. Or it you are unfortunate enough to be on Windows, NT time.
Some unfortunate programmers already have to deal with the speed of time not being a constant. In a distant future, timestamps might always have a universal position (and speed), and is that much different from timezones?
Or we find some way of removing time distortion of physics. Find the universe’s real systick. 😃
On the PS3 cell processor vector units, any NaN meant zero. Makes life easier if there is errors in the data.
Putin is too paranoid to ensure succession is in place. If he goes, and it will be bloody infighting until a new strong man arises.
But just insisting nations bend over when he decides he wants them is no mechanism for peace.
Giving up liberty doesn’t buy you security. You just end up with neither. Putin won’t stop with Ukraine.
Man, there is a lot of crazy and/or bots/trolls here.
Appeasing people like Putin doesn’t lead to peace.
Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I’m an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the “star line”.
Classic “No thing to hide, nothing to fear.”

That’s pretty neat. Game streaming isn’t that different. It basically loads the adjacent scene blocks ready for you to wonder in that direction. Some load in LOD (Level Of Detail) versions of the scene blocks so you can see into the distance. The further away, the lower the LOD of course. Also, you shouldn’t really keep the same origin, or you will hit the distort geometry issue. Have the origin as the centre of tha current block.
I just gave up fighting. There is no system that is going to both fast and infinitely precision.
So long ago I worked in a game middleware company. One of the most common problems was skinning in local space vs global space. We kept having customers try and have global skinning and massive worlds, then upset by geometry distortion when miles away from the origin.
I’m pretty sure they do, but the key word there is “old”.
Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of “fighting for the user”.
