  • This kind of stuff must happen at hardware level… wake on lan is in hardware.

    Ethernet cards keep in getting packets (arp at very least) even if they are not directed for them. If the OS needs to check all packages it would be always on

    That said… wake on lan is also a waste of energy if you don’t need (why powering the Ethernet cards?)

    I researched this in (checking notes) 2009 or so… things may have slightly changed since (and my memory is fading away)

    At the time there was a standard for sleeping. Microsoft was part of the standard… and then they decided to implement in a different way (classic Microsoft, of course).

    Hardware producers then adjusted to windows because… well… we were dozens of us using Linux on laptops.

    This created issues in Linux because there were some purist developers that wanted to follow the standards, others that were more pragmatic and wanted to implement the windows way. In the end nothing worked.

    Fast forward to today, windows waking up constantly I guess it’s broken as expected because it wants to allow background processes to do stuff. Linux not waking up sounds still the issue from 2009: there are multiple levels of sleep and the deepest was the most problematic. If I have to guess your laptop wakes up just fine if the battery is full and you left closed for few minutes… while it doesn’t when the battery is low-ish and/or you left sleeping for a longer period




  • I would say “interests at large” rather than dollars.

    Ukraine is military strategic interest (nobody in Europe wants to have Russia to randomly decide to start a war with an EU country)

    In Middle East (with oil) is dollars

    In Taiwan is military strategic interest

    On the other side of the spectrum? Myanmar, Gaza, random African conflicts, etc









  • The vast majority of the quality comes from the result ranking (that is what people generally refer as indexes albeit indexes are slightly different conceptually). In practice there are two main indexes/ranking (a) Google (b) Bing. DDG, Ecosia, yahoo are, at best, tuning the ranking (not sure if they make things better or worse with that).

    This is the reason if you want meaningfully better quality you need searXNG. Because combining results from multiple search engines you grt both main indexes.

    There is a ranking/quality problem there as well because how do you join the results of multiple search engines? I think it simply uses a “voting” system where it bumps the results from most search engines. This also means that you want a “balanced” number of search engines based on Google and Bing otherwise you’ll get mainly Google or mainly bing results. Or you may just enable only Google and Bing, really 🤷‍♂️

    If there will be new indexes (e.g. the new European one) you may want to enable them as well but this kind of problems take time to become competitive with giants like Google and Bing (albeit with enshittification this gap is being reduced)

    If you like football and your best friend doesn’t like football, what do you do? You beg your best friend to play football… but if they really don’t like football or it is just a “once in a while thing” what you do? Probably find another friend or group of friends that like football. Your best friend likely stays your best friend but now you are happy, your best friend is not annoyed by you asking playing football and you have new friends

    Of course you don’t hide or lie to your best friend on what you do and when… otherwise they would be (rightfully) upset but if you share and they are mad that you want to have new friends it’s on them to be unreasonable.

    Well here Ethical non monogamy in a nutshell in a context where it is socially acceptable 🤷‍♂️


  • Do you realise that kids before puberty don’t have much difference from biological point of view. Sexual organs are not developed or fully developed and no hormones to speak of.

    The story of Lego you said… cool you can control parents behaviour… what about peer pressure? Or the idea was to control the parents of a whole town (including Cartoons and TV shows)?

    Boys are taught to ignore emotions (“are you crying? Man up!”)

    But emotions is what connects humans (and animals for that matter) and can’t really be ignored anyway

    Join the two… and you get loneliness, frustration, rage.

    We should start a conversation on emotional education (not only for boys but especially for boys)

    As someone you would call “European” there are massive cultural, behavioural and religious differences in Europe.

    Not the differences you imagine like NJ vs California vs Texas, much more

    And you know what? It’s a good thing and nobody wants to change that. After centuries we even stopped having fun at each other.

    Diversity is scientifically and provably good for creativity that in turn is good for everything humans do

    In the case of smoking, you can go to an extreme (Berlin) where people smoke in the clubs (even if it is forbidden) to another extreme (Dublin) that is pretty much like US
