While I’m sure Holocaust historiography has evolved over the last 50 years since it was published, the latter half of The Twisted Road to Auschwitz: Nazi Policy towards German Jews 1933-1939 covers how among other plans to set up Jewish colonies around the world, the Nazis did cultivate relationships with Zionist groups when trying to expel Jews from Germany.

The book makes a case that, to the Nazis, the Holocaust became a “final solution” when all the other “solutions” they tried for expeling the Jews from German public life before WW2 broke out had failed (eg, the aforementioned failed colonial projects).

I’d say that Evrala’s comment has plenty of credible historical support.

You should report this to somewhere like 404 media

I do that for data I want to persist, but which I don’t care about backing up (eg caches)

This paragraph suggests that making a profit was intended to be easy.

As seen in Figure 3, Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperformed the human baseline in mean performance, but its variance was very high. We only have a single sample for the human baseline and therefore cannot compare variances. However, there are qualitative reasons to expect that human variance would be much lower. All models had runs where they went bankrupt. When questioned, the human stated that they estimated this would be very unlikely to happen to them, regardless of the number of samples.

Small blessings. Seeing a WSL user means that some dev out there didn’t have to implement Windows support.

One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.

I realize that this is a humor post, and not necessarily the right place to provide advice, but never underestimate the power of adding a Q&A meeting to someone else’s calendar. Someone doesn’t want to make time to explain mystery tool? Well you just made it for them. Usually I try and be polite by asking before I arrange something.

OpenMW already uses the bullet physics engine. However, it’s not really exposed to the existing Lua API right now, hence Max Yari implementing physics separately in Lua.

Test footage of Oblivion assets loaded in OpenMW shows that physics like ragdolls or interactive objects is already possible.

A post 1.0 goal is to be a general engine replacement for many Bethesda titles. OpenMW would be a platform for other projects to build OpenOblivion, OpenNewVegas, etc on.

Sounds like the perfect reason to have different words. Who would want to type that out every time? I’m sure someone could spend several paragraphs describing the difference between fur and hair, or stucco vs plaster.

If you don’t care about the difference between two words, then those words probably weren’t invented for you. Someone else who works with that nuance on a daily basis probably really likes that they can sum things up briefly.

I’m not going to say “Don’t learn gentoo next” but if you’re already well versed in Nix or setting up a base arch install, I feel like the only thing Gentoo will teach is “How long does it really take to compile Firefox from source?”

Breakfast: Coffee and toast

Lunch: Toasted sandwich or reheated dinner leftovers

Dinner: Something home-cooked

As someone who usually prefers a hot meal over a cold one, that’s my standard fare. It’s not a crazy effort.

The server code could also be released as a binary blob under a proprietary license. No different from distributing any other piece of software.

I don’t eat at many expensive restaurants, but that plating reminds me of watching the old Japanese Iron Chef episodes, and how 90’s the food presentation is. Sometimes I look at the (probably delicious) dishes made on that show, and the presentation looks as unappetizing as a 1960’s salad jello. I lack the right words as a culinary critic, but this style seems like “what people 30-40 years ago expected fancy food to look like”.

Are you able to independently confirm that the domaincheck container is listening to the right port? Eg netstat -tunlp on the host

There definitely are FOSS projects run by the US government: Ghidra is an open source reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA.

There are definitely UI inconsistencies across devices, especially smart TVs. Jellyfin on Firestick looks different from Jellyfin on Roku which looks different from Jellyfin on WebOS. Some devices deliver Jellyfin through a thin browser client, and in those cases you get access to a unified design. Outside of that it’s a crapshoot as what the app will let you do. Of course, it’s a volunteer project (and all my thanks to any maniac willing to develop TV apps), so I don’t expect that everything can be easily and neatly unified.

I can’t deny that it’s sometimes hard to support my users because of this. Someone complains that they’re getting movies dubbed in an unwanted language: I can’t guarantee that the button to select audio track will look the same on their end when I talk them through it.

I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you’re not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, no way around that without a GPU or a processor with integrated graphics.

You should be able to get a used workstation GPU for $20-40 on eBay. Something from Dell, or a basic nvidia quadro would do the trick. If you could sell the 1660 super for more than that, could be worth the effort.

Alternatively, the 1660 Super would do the trick nicely if you ever needed to transcode video streams, like from running Jellyfin or Plex.

However, I was never able to have the server completely headless.

Depending on what you mean by “completely headless” it may or may not be possible.

Simplest solution: When you’re installing OS and setting up the system, you have a GPU and monitor for local access. Once you’ve configured ssh access, you no longer need the GPU or monitor. You could get by with a cheap “Just display something” graphics card and keep it permanently installed, only plugging in the monitor when something is not working right. This is what I used to do.

Downside: If you ever need to perform an OS reinstall, debug boot issues, or change BIOS settings, you will need to reconnect the monitor.

Medium tech solution: Install a cheap graphics card, and then connect your server with something like PiKVM or BliKVM. They can plug into your GPU and motherboard and provide a web interface to control your server physically. Everything from controlling physical power buttons to emulating a USB storage device is possible. You’ll be able to boot from cold start, install OS, and change BIOS settings without ever needing a physical monitor. This is what I do now.

Downsides: Additional cost to buy the KVM hardware, plus now you have to remember to keep your KVM software updated. Anyone who controls the KVM has equivalent physical access to the server, so keep it secure and off the public internet.
