I read more about it, it was a reddit mirror instance, but it seems like they stopped copying comments after a while. Some instances may still block them.

Fish ladders are common things on dams nowadays. The only speciality I see here it's between sea and a lake.

It's an interesting video, you can see the sizes and form factor of the recievers this way much better. You can still skip the parts you are not interested in.

The quick start guide from the link in the description if you just want to read numbers: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/669856991b982007b8a6a788/t/67af70bd5fc318472e2f9f1a/1739550910959/Evaluation+Kit+-+Quick+Start+Guide.pdf

"The file system" is also an abstraction, as files are not distributed that way on a disk. E.g. a file system could work without folders, everything just tagged, like emails in gmail. This directory structure was developed in the 60s/70s for regular users, and modeled after the actual way they stored paper documents in folders that time.

I'm not against replacing the system with something more modern, like you can display your photos on a map if they have geodata, and sort by date, you don't need folder structure for that.

E.g. I havent used the aformentioned desktop shortcuts for ages, I just search for programs whatever OS I use, even though I was growing up with win9x

For the other rant in the post, if you use a COW filesystem "duplication" works differently, e.g. if you modify a file you actually duplicate it than modify the new instance of the file.

OOP is not mad because new folks are stupid. OOP is mad because the way they learned to use the computer years ago is not the most common way anymore, their knowledge will become less and less relevant. They want to teach the usage of a legacy system, but at one point no one will care about therir archaic and irrelevant ways of interfacing a computer system.

Virus

I worked for a small company, not an IT job, this happened like 10 years ago.

The office administrator lady got an email from an unknown address. The email was in Italian, she couldn't speak Italian, but we had an Italian client, so it was not unexpected that we got an email in Italian. The email had an attachment, a docx file. She downloaded it, opened it then Word asked if she wants to allow running macros embedded in the document, and she obviously clicked yes. We had a small Linux file server, and the virus running on her PC encrypted several tenthousand excel files before it was noticed that something is happening and her machine could be switched off.

No problem - said the boss, we only lost a half day of work, as we have an offsite backup, it runs every night, we can just restore yesterday's data. Unfortunately the backup stopped half years ago, but no one checked the logs...

They are not stop signs, but no entry signs. Or in the US they call this a stop sign?

ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services

Yepp, Hanlon's razor: they are mostly just lazy and maybe incompetent, not necessarily evil, that's just a side effect. E.g. in my country if you call them that you want to get out of CGNAT they'll just do that for you. My IP haven't changed in years, but I don't pay for fix IP. But it may be different in each country, I have mostly good experiences with local ISPs here.

The gh thread is about the same laptop I linked in my other comment, on the arch wiki they link to some patches, maybe they work

The important part is the hardware id of the camera, you have to search for this, drivers and kernel modules use this number to check if they are needed: 8086:7d19

I found a documented laptop with this camera: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dell_XPS_16_(9640)#Webcam

They link to some patches there, it may work with that

As I see the date of the patch is this year March, I guess simply the laptop is too new. If you don't want to fiddle, just switch to some rolling release distro, and the patches will be merged upstream soon. After a kernel update your camera will magically start working. This would be the easiest solution if you can live some more months without the camera.

Reboot than read dmesg. Start a camera app than read dmesg, journalctl. Reload the camera module with modprobe

Why the benchmark is at 90fps? What happens if you lower your monitor refresh rate to 60?

Just my troubleshooting tips:

Can you run a benchmark, maybe this one, so we can see it it's really a general thing not just something on that website? Also we can compare it to other computers, or you can see if changing a setting helps at all.

Can you see something strange in about:processes? Shift+Esc is its keyboard shortcut.

Can you try it in other browsers? Something Chrome like (Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi). Does this happen there as well?

Mozilla couldn't handle this, they had to shut down Firefox Send, as totally private file sharing services attract bad actors very well. I guess someone already using it to share CSAM.
