  • Is the copied file going to a usb? Is the usb fake? Otherwise I’m pretty sure your source is bad. Probably the disk sector if you’re sure the file was at some point complete.

    Something like btrfs probably does block cloning or similar so a copy to the same disk probably just points at the same disk blocks as the original.

    ffmpeg -v error -i file.avi -f null - 2>error.log

    Check the source probably

    Mm, not quite, when say having 60+staff work in a single building model you need something that allows object locking so stag can work on part of a building and check it in and out.

    I’m not the architect, I’m the sysadmin that designs and builds the server/network infrastructure for a half dozen architecture firms, some which have over 300 architects spread around Australia, Europe, and south East Asia. That mostly means running up servers to host BIM and BIM cache servers, as well as maintaining PIM servers.

    To be honest I quizzed you because I honestly never heard of it and my life revolves around both revit and bim360, revit and revit self hosted bim servers, or archicad. Not that I do anything much in them, BIM managers generally administrate their own BIM instances and their teams. But some of the projects are in the billions of dollars that you’ll find on featured on the b1m YouTube channel.

    Id argue that while the architects themselves are by and far the largest cost, the largest IT cost is the modelling software. I’ve even had some people using unreal engine to do parts of their work now especially for customer facing flythrough demonstrations and city view with time of day and all that.

    So I’m pretty open minded to keeping my ears open to new software since I’m never sure what to expect. It would be interesting to see if it could ever be possible to do one of these megaprojects in open source. But my gut says it’s unlikely.




  • Yes, but first go check which list you want to use since they’re a good starting point to understand a kind of level of tolerance and expectations around your experience.

    There’s lots of lists around here’s a small sample:
    https://arstech.net/pi-hole-blocking-lists-2023/

    Be prepared for a bump in time outs as you work through things you might need (I blocked by accident a bunch of needed Microsoft services that I need to use during my job).

    I haven’t edited my white list in months, maybe over a year. It’s going very well. I’ve been running pihole on ubuntu for more than 5 years as two virtual machines. I’m happy.



  • I think the question is, where can you bet on a single coin flip? Maybe because I’m Australian, there’s only one day a year you can bet on a (two) coin flip legally here. Everyone else seems to generally understand that coin flips aren’t fair for gambling and therefore is illegal.

    If this paper was like ‘this is how corruption in sports…’ rather than ‘this is like that magician cup and balls trick’ then I’d understand your concern.

    But like you said, you don’t even have a coin in the house, so the practical side is day to day, perhaps not even once a year, not only are you not deciding on a coin flip, even if you were, you’d (or whomever was flipping it for you) have to learn a technique to see it affect you.









  • Stupid take to be honest, real people getting trafficked and stalked, domestic abuse victims being tracked for control by the abuser, and you think that’s fine because google has that data about you even though nobody can use it so why shouldn’t all apps be able to? Go to a women’s shelter, touch grass.

    This issue is far more nuanced. No it’s not good Google has that data on you.

    No it’s not fair that automatons caused a small developer to have their entire amount destroyed without a proper review.

    Both things can be true.


  • Hi, I run pop! Os for about a year on a mac book pro 2012. My biggest hassles are Bluetooth audio sucks (glitchy) and I had to install a wireless driver to get wireless to work at all. Other than that, it’s working exactly as expected. Can recommend. It can’t game, it can’t play videos well because the inbuilt speakers suck (and the Bluetooth audio is glitchy), but it’s plenty performant for my actual tasks. Runs smooth. I’m sure most distributions will.
