Ignore the weird album art xD.

Surely I'm not the only one who mistook that as something related to Sekkou Boys?

WMR (weekly manga recap) on channel awesome's latest episode is reviewing aki sora...

I admit have read some of it and regretted it...alot. So how did that end up with that recommendation....

 But anyways there is supposed to be a fail-safe built in as per spec.

 

Its the same thing as having access to /dev/sd* . You can run whatever you want on that but you are never going to hardbrick a device or controller. The worst you can do is destroy the partition table and overwrite all the data with random digits.

 

The fact that you can cause hardware damage through software is pretty silly. This is something that every hardware manufacturer should know. rm is standard. A similar command can be executed on every operating system ever. I just can't understand the stupidity of this whole thing.

Its not systemd's fault that manufacturers aren't following the spec. I agree that systemd is basically turning into x.org 2.0 (bring on the print server) but things like this are the fault of the hardware manufacturer.

Someone told me to watch this when I was getting more into anime, l guess Boku No Pico was too obvious or something.

But jeeeeezzzzzzzz.

the difference is the lack of any function or parts of a wood lathe lol

 

no way to hold work(scroll chuck, screw chuck, faceplate) , no tool rest, no tail stock, the motor isn't even mounted remotely securely 

So... fancy "nice to have" features basically. It spins wood. /joke

 

Anyway, this was humorous. I need to start watching it again.

 

>enables Video Preview Thumbnails on his Plex server.

>CPU usage immediately hits 60%+ (on an Intel Atom 8-core 2.40GHz CPU even)

 

Welp. Figures. Oh well. These are nice to have. These things: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/202197528-Video-Preview-Thumbnails

>A typical index will be 30-80MB in size for a single library item.

 

... 290 movies * 80MB = 23.2 GB. Not bad. Probably gonna use a total of 100GB max on these things alone. 

 

My bigger concern:
 

>It's not uncommon for a single movie to take 10 minutes or more of processing...

 

290 * 10 = 2900 / 60 = 48.66... hours

 

Jesus.

I don't care. Exposing these variables in this way is stupidity. I also blame the kernel for not blocking these kinds of things, but systemd is the one that exposes it as an easy-to-screw-up file system. You don't just assume that a spec will be followed competently, especially given how historically braindead BIOS vendors have been.

Lol no. Back before massive amounts of it were removed it had a print server. Along with a load of other crap. It had enough stuff to be a full fledged OS. Its part of the reason why its such a piece of crap today. No one has any idea how to deal with it anymore.  Its a good reason why part of the unix philosophy is to do one thing and to do it well. Because when it starts branching out it becomes impossible to manage. I think xorg is more then 30 years old now anyways. We really need to hurry up with wayland because the sooner we can abandon xorg the better.

I don't really know to be honest. Your typical user is not a. going to be on arch and b.  running commands like that which actually give you a warning before you go through with it.

 

The reason systemd exposes it like that is so that you can boot to the UEFI without mashing delete. It needs write access for that and only that(some sort of key thing). Otherwise I don't really think efivars needs to be messed around with. But again crappy manufacturer vs systemd doing things that should technically be fine. Honestly we should just go back to BIOS days. At least you couldn't wipe it from within the OS as far as I know.

i agree that the mount uefi is there for a good reason. However that should be more the reason for vendors to do it properly....

 

I should point out xorg still can do multi monitors through different gpus which both windows and OS X(should be) capable of. Modern environments when it comes to guis do need a good vertical stack since the amount stuff that is tied to it form gpu acceleration, open gl, kernel level drivers for specialised hardware etc... Tell me does weyland and fix the feature gaps in xorg that were never closed and needed for desktop use(such as the one i mentioned)?

I do know xorg was designed for thin client type setups by design rather than desktops with advanced local focused features...

Also is weyland anywhere near ready for use without creating excessive compatibility issues?

 

The trouble with linux in particular is once something is picked its way to hard to get rid of. i.e. a controversy free init replacement, ALSA when new OSS/boomer has already overtaken it. Unixes like solaris and freebsd(and other *bsd) have been pretty good about avoiding keeping stuff because we can(or pride).

Agreed. UEFI has probably caused far more trouble than it's solved. I'll take slightly slower boot times over this kind of disaster any day.

I it just me but if motherboards that advertised overclocking on nonK chips going to have to refund now no longer doing whats advertised due to bios updates. Im wondering why the motherboard vendors didn't modify the bioses to ensure it would still work after the update on those boards...

 

Month Old boards aren't doing what they advertised (and charged more for). I see why asus stayed out of the race...

[BashZeStampeedo]

Well, time for sleep. I managed to cram in some more anime and manga tonight, lucky me.

 

Luck and Logic (4). so-so.
There's still something vaguely likable about this show, and I can't quite pinpoint it. It might be the decent music, but I think it's the same effect that made Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut bearable at first: even if everything feels cliched, it's still fun enough to watch when the show ups the pacing. Even if all signs point to this one being another lame "power of friendship" story, probably with the "MC has to go rogue" angle, at least they're building up to that so it might not feel unearned. It will however feel sappy, if this episode is any indication. They went totally overboard with the "friendship" themes here, almost to the point of parody but not quite far enough. It ended up just feeling trite instead of adding any depth to the characters or making me laugh. On the whole, like with Bahamut I'll probably be dropping this soon. It just hasn't been developing in a direction away from its cliches, and has instead just been adding more of them.

 

KonoSuba (4). so-so.
The theme here was "is Aqua useful to anyone?" and at the end of the episode we have our answer: kinda. I guess that this episode at least counted as comedy, if you don't mind every gag being so telegraphed that it's almost painful instead of funny. Gee, I wonder what'll happen when they explode that old castle they didn't even investigate? Gee I wonder if they'll milk the explosion scene to death? Gee I wonder who will jump in when one of their team mates is attacked? Gee I wonder what Aqua will do to the curse, since that's all she's good for? Oh well. This was marginally funnier than the last episode, at least. And they did introduce a character who already has more depth than the rest (the "villain"), though I don't suspect we'll see much more of him.

 

Natsume Yuujinchou manga (c80). decent.
It was nice to see Natsume have a "feel" for what was going on, but this chapter felt a bit flimsier than others I recall in this manga, with him just stumbling on his discovery. Thankfully the rest of the chapter picked things up, dropping a clue about Natsume's past, having Natsume finally relate the Book of Friend's existence to Natori, and vaguely poking at Natori and the Matoba clan's motivations. So while the framing device was a bit flimsy, it was fine to get the points across and get the ball rolling on some more interesting tidbits (assuming the manga actually continues on the trajectory).

 

Tomo-chan's a Girl! manga (c237-240). decent.
Nice to see this one back and jumping right into a new subplot, rather than spinning its wheels. I'm not sure if they're having a bit too much fun at their character's expenses, but hopefully it turns out well.

 

Mushoku Tensei manga (c19). decent.
I'm glad this chapter moved to keep the story's core and tone consistent, even if they just introduced a pretty straightforward arc without hinting too much at it having a grander point beyond "now this happens". In fact this chapter had a lot of plot-convenience, and is only really salvaged due to this story still being character-centric. Plus they can still rationalize the convenience away if they want to, so I'll let it slide. I'm not sure what to think about the long-sounding quest they're about to start, but that's only because it's hard to tell what the point is. If they continue their accelerated-time storytelling then this might suffice as an introduction to a new set of characters and motivations. It's early enough in the manga for that kind of thing to work, but again: they'll have to give a smooth explanation for this forced turn of events or I'll be disappointed.

 

Giant Killing (c202). decent.
This was a "free" chapter they gave themselves because of how they ended the last one, and it didn't really cover much ground. It was fine as a simple moment of glory for their opponents, but since nothing interesting happened in this chapter it was easy to notice that the tone has a giant "they're too cocky" sign on it. It's pretty much assured that Yamagata will screw something up and ETU will win, unless the mangaka wants ETU to lose and the readers of the manga to get no real payoff for this prolonged match (and that's difficult to believe, since the story has shifted gears out of the "loser underdogs" phase of the story long ago).

 

Actually, I'm... manga (c110-111). good.
As usual, just as I'm thinking "oh, this is gonna be stupid" they make it SUPER stupid, in just the right way. Thank goodness this is a manga that knows that if their cast is idiotic, then they might as well treat them like SUPER idiots. They even chose to dial things back and end these chapters on a fairly heartwarming moment, which gives me hope that we'll be seeing some really fun failure involving Asahi and Youko teaming up.

 

Iwaihime manga (c1). so-so.
This is just a shock factor and body horror manga taking after Another, or so it seems. The visuals are alright, with some interesting-looking monster things, but there's not much else of a draw here if you're not into simplistic stories just because they have a horror twist. It might improve, but the characters and premise didn't really hint at any thematic or character depth, so I'm not expecting much from Iwaihime.

 

Yumekui Merry manga (c86-87). mediocre.
And... dropped. I've had enough. Friendship, friendship, friendship... there's nothing else to this stupid manga. They even poke fun at themselves for it in this chapter. All that stuff about dreams and nightmares? Still barely explored after 87 chapters. Yumeji and Merry's mysterious past? Barely touched. All the recent chapters have done is introduce some new generic monsters and a bunch of new characters whose existence in the manga is simply to have more redundant friendship prattle. Congrats, you've made a manga about nightmares breaking into the real world tedious somehow.

I probably can't give a good answer to that lol. Here is a 45min video discussing the two.

 

Spoiler

 

 

One thing to note is that xorg takes longer to display a fresh empty instance of gedit then it takes chrome to start up and restore 30+ tabs(obviously before x has to display them) by about 700ms.

This is because xorg displays things like this. client -> xorg -> client -> xorg -> display on client(actually there might be more back and forth).

Also the implementation of multi monitor in xorg is frankly embarrassing. Its a massive hack job and it barely works at that.

Query for you guys: What's the highest quality anime list on imgur you've found?

@helping I remember you posted one that had a lot of lesser known anime. Do you still have the list?

I remember this thing, but it's not the same thing: http://animemovieguide.com/movie-guide/

 

I just remembered Shangri-La:

 

That's going on my list of "to watch" again.

 

TL;DR: ^ is basically hunger games, anime style.

 

>going through my old "to-watch" bookmark folder...

 

 

How... interesting.

The Shannara Chronicles sound kind of awesome...

 

Quote

Based on the best-selling fantasy book series by Terry Brooks, "The Shannara Chronicles" follows heroes in the Four Lands as they embark on a quest to stop an evil Demon army from destroying the universe. Thousands of years after the fall of humankind, the world's fate rests on the shoulders of an unlikely trio: Elvin Princess Amberle, who dreams of a life outside of the palace walls; beautiful, wild and wily Human Rover Eretria, and half-elf Wil, who knows nothing of the great destiny that runs through his veins.

 

Hopefully it's not all teen-drama bs.

"follows heroes in the Four Lands as they embark on a quest to stop an evil Demon army from destroying the universe"

nope, don't have it

stop bulking and go watch something anyway

 

That line sounds like the synopsis of a gag or parody comedy.
