Fluid ounces measure volume, so analogous to liters. As opposed to ounces which measure weight, so analogous to newtons, although everyone uses kilos to measure weight in day to day life.
There are also Troy ounces, which are for precious metals, but I honestly couldn't say what those measure....
I reboot every box monthly to flush out such issues. It's not perfect, since it won't catch things like circular dependencies or clusters failing to start if every member is down, but it gets lots of stuff.
Emacs was the first bloated IDE!
I have a Fairphone 3 and replaced the USB on it and it was amazing. Ordered the part for like €25 and it was here in a couple of days. Swapping the old one out was super easy. Everything should be so easy. ❤️
I didn't know there was a -delete option to find! I've been piping to xargs -0 for decades!
I had a Helios that literally just started having trouble powering SATA disks a few days ago. I got it in 2019 I think, so only 5 years of life.
I use Linux LVM and either ext4 (for older volumes) or btrfs (for newer volumes, because I want the checksums across the data) so in principle I could throw the disks in a PC as a temporary solution.
I have put the disks in SATA to USB 2.0 caddies, and the Helios 4 kind of still works, but I'm ordering a couple of Orange Pi 5 and with USB 3.0 disk enclosures to replace it. It was kind of time anyway, since Nextcloud has dropped support for 32-bit CPU.
I believe that being publicly traded means that you are obligated to maximize shareholder returns, whereas a privately-held company can have literally any goals, as long as it pays taxes and follows the law.
There are literally dozens of alternative products to the Raspberry Pi, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Do a web search for "single board computer" or even just "raspberry pi alternatives", and see for yourself.
I sense a lot of dislike for self-checkouts and wonder why they are done so poorly where other people live. In Holland they are fine. You can self-scan with either a portable scanner or your phone while you shop, or scan the items at checkout. I've literally never had to wait for a free machine, and they work well. Some people use the registers with humans scanning for you, and they seem fine too.
I guess this change would work in conjunction with requirements to support sideloading in the EU too.
It's really tough to run a business when your competitors are all free as in freedom (Firefox) or free as in funded by monopolistic megacorps (Google, Apple, Microsoft).
I think that we can expect more propaganda from big tech, including political pressure from the USA. Fighting capitalism is going to be a long battle!
