Futurology Today

Hi, I just want to share / get some opinion.

I started using Linux 2 years back. I was dual booting back then and after a year switched to Linux completely.

I started out using Ubuntu, hated it, installed Manjaro after a week and when pacmac broke the thing within 2 months, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos, read the arch wiki and installed arch. Things were going great except for some Nvidia issues (I am using an Optimus laptop) but utt was running smoothly. Then decided that I want to build a game engine and the nvidia issues were significant. So I read somewhere that Fedora has great nvidia support and I installed it and everything worked. I installed Fedora 39, and it worked. When Fedora 40 came, I upgraded no issues, Fedora 41 came, no issues.

But just a few days back when I had vacation, I decided my system was getting bloated and I didn't manually want to uninstall apps, I decided let's format it. But I thought... Arch might take up less space on my disk(1 have a 512gb nvme, and t 2tb hdd, but I like to put things like games and projects I am working on, on the nvme). So I installed arch and loving the experience. I installed Nvidia-open drm drivers and it just works.

TLDR: Is it normal to distro hop after being using a distro perfectly for so long?

PS: I used archinstall because I didn't want through the lengthy process again. And archinstall works great.

Premieres sometime in 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

The Obinata Fireworks Shop factory is getting prepared for an administrative action for confiscation tomorrow. It has been six years since Keitaro has been holed up in a closed-down factory creating fireworks by himself, chasing after an illusion of his father who vanished. It is a story about three young people who overcome the extreme weather conditions, disasters and environmental problems imposed on them and establish their own identities.

In one of my courses, the prof is pretty much forcing us to use the new edition of a textbook that came out last year. Even worse, there's no physical version of it. It's all digital and we have to rent it from the publishing company.

I couldn't find it anywhere online so I rented it, did a little work with networks tab and pyautogui, and now I have offline access to it.

Unfortunately, I was only able to get it as a .xhtml file. Each xhtml file has it's own directory (similar to what happens when you save a .html page). I then used a tool to combine all the .xhtml files into multiple .pdf files, and then combined all those into a single .pdf file.

The .pdf file seems correct, but it feels like somethings might not have been converted properly, so I still want the option to distribute the .xhtml files. Where can I post them such that other students will find it if they try searching for it?

Also, is it possible that the file could be traced back to me?

(I did the same thing about 2 years ago and uploaded it to libgen but libgen has been down for like the past week)

So back in the day I used to use DVDDecrypter and another program (I think it was Fair Use Wizard) to rip DVDs. There was a lengthy period while DVD Decypter removed the encryption, and then it would take like 1 hour per episode or movie to re-encode it to an MP4 or DivX file. I just opened up some of the old DVD ISO images still stored on my hard drive and re-encoded them with Handbrake. With the processor and Graphics card I have now, it takes about 2 minutes to re-encode an entire TV episode. Processing power has come a long way.

• A vaccine made by connecting antigens from different flu strains together elicited a more broadly protective immune response than a conventional flu vaccine.
• The findings suggest a way to make flu vaccines more effective.
