Same. People age quite differently. I didn’t start puberty until I was 16. I didn’t get attracted to girls until I was 17. Much later than my friends.

I got a job at a pizza shop when I was 20, and I made friends with the 15+16yo employees there, I got along much better with them than people my own age. I can see how that’s was potentially creepy, looking back on it, but it seemed normal enough at the time, those people were my good friends.

I matured very slowly. I didn’t graduate uni until I was 29. I’m now 39, physically I look like I’m 30, mentally and psychologically I feel like I’m 30.

As others have said, tidying and cleaning are quite different things. Most cleaners will come to do the latter. If your house is untidy, it makes their job harder.

You can get a person in to tidy up for you, but it’s usually a different person than the cleaner, and that requires much more input from yourself “Where does this go? Where do you want this? Do these clothes need to be folded or washed? Is this trash or not?”.

Anyway. Yes I’ve definitely been guilty of tidying the whole house before our cleaner comes.

Ah, you mean a Deutschkompoundenwordkopf.

I had one too. Besides the screen resolution, the actual worst thing about them was the MMC storage. Literally slower than a 5400rpm HDD. Mine was the one with the slightly faster atom CPU, but it was bottlenecked by the crazy slow storage.

I’ve done something like this before, but thankfully it only impacted services that I host for my own use, didn’t affect any family and friends.

Btw, I’ve found the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix this is to simply buy bigger disks. Swap out each disk for a bigger one one-by-one, then resize the whole volume to fill the new disks. Resizing upwards is much faster than shrinking a volume.

I’ve never had a volume shrink operation work without errors, and yes it takes days if you have more than 4TB.

Chlorine is nature’s soap.

Yeah… but why? Kate is better in about every way. And while we’re on the topic, Kate is also available on the windows store, with a real Windows build.

On windows: Notepad++. On Linux-based OS: Kate. And there’s also JetBrains Fleet, that is jetbrains answer to vscode.

Do they act to maintain the sock’s grip on our plane of existence?

Did you work out where the drier puts them? Every load, two matching socks go in, but when I unload them there’s either; just one sock, or two different socks.

Have you tried patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time?

game is too big to fit on my SSD 😭

game loads too slowly on HDD 😴

YOLO. store the game in RAM. 🤘

I’ve seen this bug in the outlook web app too. Like it suddenly thinks I’m holding ctrl or something, then every keystroke in middle of typing an email become commands to mess up my inbox and delete my drafts.

Man, that actually sounds really good.

I get how this could be interpreted as offensive, but I think it is just poorly worded.

This option is for if you are using a legacy version of Linux such as 2.6.x (eg, on an old RedHat distro that your business systems are designed to be run on).

This enables a compatibility mode so the old kernels don’t complain.

The big bang theory intro theme song started playing in my head instantly when I saw this, well done.

Kind of. Think of the RAM allowance as a “maximum” limit, not a reserved allocation. The VM host might have 64 GB RAM, and perhaps allows 20 VMS running in it at once. Each VM can allocate up to a max of 8GB from that host. Not everyone is running their VM at the same time, even if they are, not everyone would be running at their limit of 8GB of memory. If it does happen that 20 users are trying to use 8GB at the same time on one host, then it’s the same as anytime an OS runs low on RAM, it would start paging out to disk, everything would slow down for everyone. If that happens too many times, they could shuffle some users’ VMs around to balance the loads across hosts.

Can someone explain to me why it always seems like everyone on lemmy are in one of these two categories:

1: “I remember my first computer used ferro-magnetic beads that we glued to lengths of string. We could store nearly 10 bytes in one string”.

2: “My first computer was an old iPad that only had 64GB storage, couldn’t even store my photo album.”

It’s like everyone is aged either 89 or 19, nobody in between.

Probably because the RAM was pooled, but storage was not. So your RAM allocation is part of a larger pool that is shared between all currently logged in users. But your storage is allocated/reserved up front, and is used only by you.
