I want to read a firsthand account […] this is a firsthand account
The book’s author [1] wrote:—
Mi-ran [2] had heard all about this from a friend [3] whose cousin [4] had been one of the chosen.
I have no idea whether it’s true or not, but I do know what is and isn’t a first-hand account.
The output here lets us know that systemd is running the service file and starting the script just fine. The echoed GPU temperature is making it to the journal, but the gpuTemp variable isn’t being updated (staying at 0) because of a problem executing nvidia-settings. Specifically, it wants a display: “The control display is undefined”.
You could add a line to the service file:—
Environment = DISPLAY=:0
Although if echo DISPLAY in your terminal gives you a different value, use that. There’s a possibility that that will just push one error further down the line, but it’s something to try.
Alternatively/additionally, you could try changing the User= line to your own username to see if it picks up the environment your manual executions work with.
You aren’t the only one to run into problems trying to automate nvidia-settings. You might end up needing to track down an Xauthority file or use the display manager’s initialisation options.
If you had a book which had on its Contents page:
Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . page 1
and you crossed it out, then wrote:
Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . page 1
Chapter 2 . . . . . . . . . . page 50
someone looking for Chapter 1 is still going to find all the text in the right place (as long as it was less than 50 pages).
Changing the partitition table is like changing the Contents page; it doesn’t mess with the rest of the data. And if the new table points to the same place it did before, the data can still be found.
That said, if the filesystem still thinks it’s 1TB, you may end up with future problems unless you resize it to fit the reduced partition.
If it works when run manually, but fails via systemd, then you should post your service file.
Take a look at Engineering Mathematics by KA Stroud. It has a step-by-step approach with worked examples that might be useful to you. Even if you don’t like the structure, it’ll at least give you a comprehensive list of topics.
I think the assumption is not that adblockers alter the user agent info, but that they also block other resources, so StatCounter won’t see those users at all, leading to under-reporting.
“Instance” seems too jargon-y to me as well, and “proxy” is even worse. “Server” and “host” are probably a little more familiar, but are still technical language.
Confusion doesn’t stem from individual words; people need explanations and examples, but, as an alternative to “instance”, if you want to extend the “communities” metaphor, then “society” as a cluster of communities is a natural option, particularly since it relates to the widely understood concept of social media. Since most people using the Internet also know what a web “site” is, you could use the sibilant linguistic association to help cement the notion:—
Each society has its own web site, such as:
aussie.zone, where the communities relate to Australia;programming.dev, where the communities discuss software development;- and
lemmy.film, where the communites are about movies.You can choose which society you want to join, although some will ask you to fill out an application. Most societies have connections to others, meaning that you can discuss things with people who are part of different societies. Often, you’ll recognise them by their username saying that they’re at (@) another site. Not all societies get along with one another, so which one you join will also affect who you can talk with.
Each society has its own rules it expects you to follow, whether you are a member of that society or just visiting.
This kind of language seems more intuitive to me anyway, although when I’ve tried describing instances and federation before now, I’ve likened instances to countries:—
You choose somewhere to live (and you can move later if you want). If there’s a cross-border agreement, then you can send messages back and forth between people in each place.
but this has also meant stressing that your instance “country” doesn’t have to match where you physically live, so a more general term probably would have been more useful.
This is far from a complete answer, but it might at least get past that initial objection, if they’re willing to listen to you.
Under capitalism, the unscrupulous do not take advantage of the system, they take advantage of people who have little room to object because the system purposely denies them self-determination. A poor individual who tries to escape their exploitation risks homelessness and starvation, while the exploiter who fails is usually free to try again.
Under a system that protects everyone, however, the unscrupulous lack leverage over others, who can safely refuse to go along with their schemes. Without the imbalance of power, corruption is made inherently more difficult.
If you’re prepared to also discuss prison abolition, etc., you might also add that, beyond that, societies already have mechanisms for protecting themselves in the form of laws and consequences for crimes. Each society’s responses may be different, and need not be as inhumane as those we’re familiar with now, and so on.
chiS peD Soch wo’rIvpu’ je is a classic of the genre, but the sanitization for a human audience is worse than the Disney treatment of the Brothers Grimm.
I believe, since it’s a recruitment poster, the translation is “We seek programmers for a great mission.”
For someone seemingly so eager to try out new distros, I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned virtual machines. If the vibes are off, it’s a whole lot less disruptive to find out that way.
Your experience with drivers won’t be quite the same as a bare-metal installation, but checking out software shouldn’t be a problem.
You wrote this ten minutes after being reminded that “consent” by children is nonsense, in what is still the most approved comment.
If you want to be a successful troll, you are going to have to learn to be less obvious. If you want to discuss topics in good faith, you are going to have to learn that this “just asking questions” approach makes you look like a troll.

Helping one another out is invisibilized, not rare. A good chunk of what I know comes from other people taking the time to explain why something works the way it does and how you can see that for yourself. The rest is from curiosity, experimentation, and hammering away at something until it fits. It’s not professionally specialized knowledge.
Admittedly, I have much less experience with i3, so I fired up a virtual machine with Debian 11.6 and installed i3 (along with lightdm) and was able to recreate the problem of .profile not being executed when logging in, so this isn’t unique to your particular setup. Great!
Fortunately, this combination does execute commands in ~/.xsessionrc, so I added:—
. $HOME/.profile
to that file, then logged out and back in again. That did the trick for me, with the commands in .profile then successfully modifying the PATH variable (and writing additional lines to the execution log files), so I suggest you try creating/modifying .xsessionrc in the same way.
I don’t see them in the app, so not yet, I guess.
Uh, the XiBucks, obviously.
Look, I get it. Hexbear is a demanding place to be. It expects you to not be a complete asshole almost all the time. You’re regularly tested on knowledge of an emoji system so complex, it’s been known to make London cab drivers cry. If you unthinkingly parrot talking points, you’ll be pounced on with annoying facts and aggressive reasonable concern for the value of other people. And if you emit the slightest Hitler particle, you’ll be outright banned. How authoritarian! Honesty, sometimes I wonder why I signed up, never mind stay around.
But then I remember that the folks there are a deeply caring lot, who see the problems in the world and actually want to do something about it—even though the goal often seems barely possible—and, in spite of everything, retain a sense of humour and try to make improvements for each other, even if, for now at least, it can only be a :meow-hug:.
Oh, and the XiBucks, of course. Some of us even get roubles, too!
I saw The Wrath of Khan as a kid, quite possibly before seeing any of the series, so there’s never been any question of it not being representative of Star Trek for me, though I can see how someone approaching chronologically might see more of a disparity.
However, TOS had plenty of deaths, including destruction of starships, as did V’Ger’s, uh, collection of data, so does TWoK really stand apart in that regard? Chekov and Terrell kick off the plot while surveying planets, encountering a strange alien creature, and Kirk and co. find an underground paradise; I see that as fitting the explorative aspects of the show, at least somewhat. The villain is defeated with teamwork, deception, and by outplaying him, common to the original series. And the story raises some ethical questions regarding cheating, playing god, and marooning, again in the tradition of the show. I see the differences as more stylistic than substantial, but as I said, personal history affects my perspective.
As far as general movie principles go, music can be a strong influence on audiences, and Wrath of Khan has a great score.
Their physiology is barely diverged so their intellects are likely to remain similar. Espionage is frequently the theme of Romulan encounters, which would help keep them up to date. And if they procreate more frequently than every seven years, they might have a much larger population even with greater murderousness, with more people being advantageous for tech development.
