It's interesting how these days a lot of "optimizing" things is really just doing things the semantically correct way and not misusing interfaces to start wtih.
Both (acceptable/decent/good) frameworks and optimizing compilers have gotten good-enough that doing only that much tends to get some pretty good results from the outset.

Whatever was the standard way of ensuring data integrity for filesystems or block devicces before ZFS & btrfs came along?
I can't really seem to find anything.

Makes me wonder, if one brings an air purifier in a hospital for the post-surgery recovery room, is it preferable to dispose of the device entirely afterward, given how most of them aren't built with sterilization in mind?
(Obviously if one can, one should wear a respirator for the entire duration of the visit.)

I've been looking at the official "recommendations" standards for hospitals in my country and I'm disappointed to see basic essential steps being reserved exclusively for things like tuberculosis.
And in fact, even then steps recommended for actively infectious tuberculosis are barely sufficient. WTF is wrong with my country?
We had bioweapons laboratories and still have a bunch of biohazard research, how do we suck so badly at this? And why haven't those standards been updated yet, it's been over a decade since the newest of them and 5 years of an airborne pandemic showing that they're worthless.
This leads me to wonder if at least hospitals are perhaps doing more than the absolute minimum mandated by those. I sure damn hope they do.

Oddly enough trailers meant to be attached to motorcycles (pull-behind trailers) seem to be quite rare, unlike with bicycles.
Do motorcycles mostly use sidecars for storage then? Or trailers pulled by the sidecars? (Images exist of this, apparently.)
Timeline was talking about cargo storage.

The annoying with questions where the proper step is "ask a lawyer" is that a) lawyers don't answer questions for free and b) asking probably puts one on a watchlist whether or not it's fine.
For context, this is about cryptography and the bunch of stupid laws around it.

In the future, this era will be looked at the same way we look at the 18th century. With its untreated water and mass epidemics of cholera.

It is somewhat vexing that prior to the Internet, only large libraries really had any meaningful chance of having information on current technlogies one might interact with daily.
For example telephone systems.

Another example of the neceessity of adblockers: The whole business model of those LLM spam disinformation sites is ad-revenue. If enough people used adblockers, the model couldn't work.

Something something LA death toll article title blah
It's not really useful to count now, most of the toxic side-effects will take effect within the next 20 years and will vastly outstrip the immediate death toll.

bruh, people complaining about stuff getting on global federated timelines.
Come on, obviously it's an unusable sewage hose at the best of times (it can't really be anything else either) on all but very small instances, anyone complaining about that should simply stop interacting with it.
If one wants to interact with it anyway, one would need some sort of customizable algorithmic filter (score by keywords & names, etc, whatever the user wants) to get anything relevant from it.

Mind the name I used to refer as a suggestion is insufficiently precise/accurate, there are many kinds of those and not all of them will be suitable, presumably.
It might be best to ask firefighting services, actually.

By the way, that's a thing people should have in their evacuation kits (you have one of those right? A bugout bag?) as a matter of course.
Chemical respirator cartridges for a few common threats like organic fumes. Large fires are not healthy to be around.
Firefighters use fancier rebreathers & stuff because conditions in a fire are even worse, of course.

Laptops that only have internal batteries are much less likely to work without the battery, this is obnoxious because keeping dead/outdated batteries in live computers is a fire hazard, so one can't simply be assured it's possible to keep using the computer as a pseudo desktop or discount server once its use as a laptop is over.
Some of them will still work fine without a battery while plugged in, but it's no longer a reliable expectation anymore.
I hate this planned obsolescence crap. At this point one legitimately has no reasonable choice other than building a luggable out of an SBC & portable monitor + USB power bank or something (unless one feels like screwing with USB->AC inverter for microatx + conventional PSU, good luck with the power constraints & finding the components in the first place).
Fuck whoever thought that was smart.
How did things degrade so much in the last few years?

I know that user has muted me (they were oh so smug about it), and they surely are glad for it right now.
That is an absolutely insane take of copyright apologism, what the fuck?
Copyright abolition isn't about libertarianism or anything so meaningless, and copyright is a tool of capital and restriction. It is not a tool of empowerment. It is fundamentally toxic to culture.

At this point I'm skeptical of claims that any microbial disease is categorically not airborne, considering just how well several much larger fungal spores and plant seeds manage to travel around by air.
Sure, some of them might not be primarily transmitted by air, but if the intent is near or total avoidance/erradication, primary or not doesn't matter.

It still amuses me & weirds me out that "antifa" (anti-fascism) has become some kind of spook meme that's supposed to be objectionable on recognition of its name.
Like, seriously? What, are "pro-fascism" the good guys then? The issues with that should be pretty immediately obvious.

For people working on things authorities don't like, it looks to me like a lose-lose dilemma.
If they work anonymously they can just be disappeared with no pretense, whereas if they don't work anonymously they can just get framed.
