If you experience something, it's already subjective. No need for the "imo" -escape. Same goes for sentiment. The sentiment is already what you observed, no need to further interprete that. Just share what you see. This is overly careful to a point where it almost lacks any content.

Edit: To make this constructive, you could add why people think so and share a related link or something.


This gave me chills for a second. I extensively have active noise cancelling on with no music playing. Several hours a day. After a quick search I couldn't find any good results on this topic. I feel like you should provide some links or anything on that topic? I'd be glad to look into this.


Why normalize it? People critizise stigmas, but I don't feel like this is the case (no pun intended) here. It may vary from where you're at, but in middle europe I'd argue, no one gives you a second look for wearing those (Edit: Or is that the problem? ;) ).


I'm a very beginner in my self learning journey. My understanding is, that hibernation is the same as 'suspend to disk'. If that is true, memory is cleared and put in a memory on disk (eg swap). From what I found on the Arch wiki, it works with a partition and file.

Swap space can be used for [...] suspend-to-disk support. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap#Activation_by_systemd

In order to use hibernation, you must create a swap partition or file [...]. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_an...


Thanks for the links. I guess it makes sense to use swap space in aiding suspend to disk if some of the allocated memory is already paged out to it. I wonder though if in the [2] link you posted if you can have a swap partition for the purposes of hibernation, while also disabling swapping of memory while your machine is in-use.


> makes sense to use swap space in aiding suspend to disk if some of the allocated memory is already paged out to it.

Maybe I can learn something here. From my understanding, the RAM image moves completely to the swap space, since the RAM memory is shut down (cleared). I thought, that's why it's calles 'suspend to disk'. During hibernation most components are in a state of being almost shut down. And that would be why you need a disk that can hold data non-volatile (eg not the RAM memory). Edit: From your comment it reads like the swap space is only for assisting the process, while from my understanding that's the place where the whole RAM image resides during sleep.

> a swap partition for the purposes of hibernation, while also disabling swapping of memory while your machine is in-use.

I thought the exact same. Avoid tear of the SSD and security implications, while having the option of hibernation (including the security implications) in case of need.

I think your understanding is broadly correct. My point was centred on the nuance that the primary purpose of swap space is for the OS to move less frequently used parts of virtual memory to disk to allow more recently/frequently used virtual memory to occupy the physical RAM.

So theoretically, if you wanted to implement hibernation on top of such a system, you wouldn't need the OS to have swapping enabled. (Although from your examples, practically, in some cases at least you do)

Without swap space, the OS would still use virtual memory addressing and allocation, but it would only be translatable to physical addresses in RAM, and exhaustion of RAM would lead to the OS out of memory killer to start killing processes to free RAM up.

But you could still write a hibernation program to take everything in memory and write it to disk and restore it later even if you're not using the OS swap capability to provide programs with the illusion of more memory to use than RAM allows.


Even with an own domain, you're not 100% save. But I agree nevertheless.


Yes own domain plus self host for communities is necessary to really own it. Either but not both can leave you with an issue.


the main issue is $$$


It's just the cost of doing business with some control. Get a cheap domain and a low-end VPS/VM with a fixed IP (Vultr, DO, Hetzner). You can't really expect to get everything free.


You can host a simple forum on a RaspberryPi, you can stack a few of them together for better performance.

Just food for thought.


need to pay $$ for static IP address


$20/y should be enough. That is a lot for some people though. But for a business it should be no big deal.


If there're over 4k die-hard players, as you said, a big portion of it will follow. While I have empathy with your situation, I wonder how many times more things have to go south for you people.

Build a good project and make sure you actually own it (have complete control over it).


What do you mean with 'implementation of your startup'?


I feel any method that is powerful enough to dependably act as an attourney is powerful enough to found its own company, write software, acquire clients, subcontract etc.

With the expression I meant the realization of a business idea into a self-sustaining business.


I wouldn't say it changed nothing. Take the Guttenberg incidence for example. But more often it doesn't lead to actual repercusions, I agree on that with you.


Edit: This turned into a rant.

"Teach the process"

Learn to learn

etc

The approach the author takes is boring and therefore will not succeed. Maybe future will prove me wrong on this - I'd be fine with it.

My take is an axiom that is omnipresent among tech bubble: Focus on what matters. Let's ask ourself every time we put more than one thought into something: "What is this really about?" "Why do I actually have to do this?" etc. Even without AI our academic systems are being gamified every day. AI just accelerates (and partly even democratize) this movement. People follow a fassade and sadly the system followed. We need to start asking general questions more again. With AI and art this is even more visible. It is often overlooked that AI can not create something new. And you do not have the right to make a living by rearranging and combinging already existing ideas. But exactly this is the metric we should focus on: the new. If you don't want to create something new, then fine, just copy and paste along. But making something new is hard and you'll need to learn the basics yourself (tech the process, learn to learn, etc). But to make this approach imposed is even another misguided junction. It has to come from the one thing that is important: the new, the actual drive, the 'doing it because I want it'


Can you make an example on what you mean by aesthetic? Or maybe a describtion of what you mean. Give us something.

there was also a really cool portfolio site in complete black and white, link of which I couldn't find.


The website you linked looks neat. Reminds me a little of HN - which I think has a great aesthetic.
