  • Hardware related on a Linux home built NAS.

    My mobo has 2 nvme ports and supports 10th and 11th gen intel cpu. I have a 10th gen i5 and 2 nvme ssd for cache.

    The biggest 512Gb ssd is on the front (normal) side of the mobo, under a heatsink. The smaller 128Gb is under the mobo, inaccessible once fixed onto the case.

    In bios and in OS I can’t see the 512 cache drive, only the 128. Quick RTFM on the motherboard manual states: “Front nvme slot only works with 11th gen cpu”.

    FFS 🤦‍♂️

    The server is fully built in a hard to fit everything ITX case.

    Guess who is having only 128Gb cache instead of disassembling everything ?



  • Terrot 500 RGSTA ?

    Peugeot 175 D4 ?

    From this forum (en français bien sûr). It speak about motorbike since 1950, so that would make sense with Indochine and I think I can recognise some of the models from archive photos. It says that before 1950, French army used a bunch of brands like BMW, Harley, Triumph, Gnome et Rhone and others from 1930 and WWII, but from 1950 and onwards they tried to harmonise the material and the list is on the forum.

    Otherwise, your best bet would be searching for CEFEO material (corps expéditionnaire français en Extrême-Orient) as it was the more involved in the war.

    There is a book about material used in this war but I don’t know if they wrote anything about motorbikes.

    The forum from the first link seems to be a good source of information tho.


  • As an atheist I agree, but I don’t think it as anything to do with religion.

    It’s all about faith, in the sense of a strong belief in something. Be it a god, aliens, a spaghetti monster or just yourself.

    Religion does provide that yes, their daily beliefs become auto suggestions that their subconscious brain accepts, making mental health and life easier.

    But anyone can achieve the same outside of religions.


  • A kind of Indian grill in Basel (Switzerland). It was rated 4.8 stars on google maps but I failed to notice that all the reviews were made by German/Swiss-German peoples (we come from the French and Italian parts of the country with a French and Italian food culture).

    The hella expensive meat platter was undercooked and served with a ketchup and mayonnaise mix. Ketchup and mayo at an Indian place ! They also made us pay 2 francs for a glass of tap water when we had their most expensive dish and a bottle of wine. Fuck them, and fuck those tasteless German speaking reviewers.

    All my worst food experiences happened in the German part of Switzerland so now I’m super cautious of what I eat when I travel there.






  • I think that’s the one yes. Decreased food yield from 2040 to 2099 onwards.

    Also, even if I’m not into that, an old fart like Nostradamus or something like that (I don’t remember his name) wrote at the time that humanity will be greatly reduced around the first part of the 21th century. And now scientific studies more or less agree with that.

    I have hope that humanity will change, I have zero hope that the ones who can do things (industries, huge corporations, rich peoples, politicians) will do something.

    Apparently it’s better to die seated on unused billions rather than having a living world for your kids.

    He’s a left French politician, several times candidate for presidency but never won.

    He is seen as Fidel Castro boot licker by boomers (he is not), extreme left by right and extreme right (he is not).

    He is a great talker but also a bit of an angry man which makes him unlikable to others.

    Now is party is named “La France insoumise” (LFI) and they usually have very good political agendas, like at the last presidential it was something along the lines:

    • create the 6th republic based on true direct democracy
    • constitution is written by the French population for the French population
    • give back power to the population
    • once done, quit unless asked to stay president.

    But because of his image among boomers and the right propaganda against him, he never won and his party suffer from his image.

    The best thing would be to have his and LFI ideas without him. They need to find another leader for their image as Mélanchon is a liability for the left to access power.

    We happened to have AI pictures of him as a dominatrix today in our French server https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/12001973


  • I’m European and I have mixed feelings about the US.

    There are some great sceneries, nice peoples and my accent does wonders there. I like its smaller towns and countryside.

    But at the same I hate its cities. You can see the most widen gap between poverty and absurdly rich peoples in the same street. You can have a wonderful avenue and once in the back alley it looks like third world. I’ve never seen that many weird people than in the us. There’s too much violence and capitalism. And don’t get me on the fucking tipping culture.



  • I’ve read it was just to shit with Microsoft by announcing that computers were tools of the past for gaming AND non gaming (and earn money).

    Pushing Microsoft to invest billions to develop the Xbox on Windows (which ultimately did not run on windows) to shit with Sony, and earn money…



  • I solved that problem by using a tiling window manager on every OS. Configure it to use your favorite shortcuts (from i3wm in this case), put super + spacebar as the whatever launcher you like and tadaaaa!

    Everything feels more or less the same.

    I do that since I became addicted to i3wm years ago. The worst part is just remembering the keywords to type in the launcher according to what OS you’re on.



  • An arcade center VR headset.

    This was in the 90s or early 2000 when VR was non existent to consumers. During holidays visiting the US we ended up in this arcade center, probably in LA, where they had circled booths with an old FPS VR game that you play standing up. The headset looked like a helmet and was plugged from the top.

    During my game, I turned on myself (360 no scope style) so much and always in the same direction that the cables got tangled and finally broke, probably with a little spark and some electrical sound. Game over.

    As a French preteen, my English was bad and all I remember is the “shiiiiiiit” the worker said when he looked at the headset and cables.

    Sorry buddy 🤷🏻‍♂️
