It’s written correctly. “All but” in the sense used here means almost. “All but certain” means a hair’s breadth from absolute certainty.

(Also, “lose” is the word you were looking for; not “loose”.)

In most places, there’s money in enforcement, and power in disenfranchisement.

I don’t know what Thailand-specific motives might be in play here, if any.

Seems like someone with foreknowledge of the reversal could have made some money there, doesn’t it?

if other people aren’t posting it seems silly to penalize the ones who are

I suppose that’s an easy statement to agree with. However, a sensible rate limit is not a penalty.

if this community has any hope of being anywhere near as comprehensive in coverage as the News Subreddits

I left Reddit on purpose.

I would rather have quality than volume.

I would rather my news feed be diverse than dominated by one or two self-appointed influencers of discourse. (Even if they have good intentions.)

I approve of this rule. Ten articles per person each day is more than enough at this stage, and the threshold for “too much” can always be adjusted as the community grows.

The purpose, a spokesperson for the legislature told local media, is to “guide people to deeply understand the trinity of loving the country, the Party, and socialism.”

How is this different from brainwashing?

That headline reads like it’s a planned annual event. :(

Five workers were cleaning pipes at the system filtering wastewater for release into the sea when two were splashed after a hose came off accidentally, according to a spokesperson for operator Tepco.

Two others were contaminated when they were cleaning up the spill, the spokesperson added.

The radiation levels in the two hospitalised men were at or above 4 becquerels per square centimetre, the threshold which is considered safe.

I was confused because there was no article visible at that link. Then I noticed you included the #fragment part that skips the article and jumps straight to the comments, and scrolled up to find it. Here’s the corrected link: https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/16/where-bugfixes-and-new-features-come-from/

No, they are not always safe.

Be picky about what you install, and vigilant about permissions.

Yes, there are many SSD SLC with afforable price right now too, for example ADATA SU650 I used.

No, that is a TLC drive. It only uses SLC for the cache.

It also works over ssh. :)

Solidigm P44 Pro is a good choice. This model is based on the Hynix Platinum P41, which is well regarded. They provide a bootable linux ISO image for updating firmware, so you can boot that directly, or potentially extract the files and run the updater on your distro of choice.

I don’t see any firmware bug workarounds for these models in the linux kernel sources, which is a good sign.

Solidigm is the company resulting from SK Hynix recently buying Intel’s NAND business. They apparently contribute to LVFS, which is another good sign, even if the current model’s firmware isn’t on there yet.

You’ve been lucky, then. Some popular SSDs have had firmware that actively corrupted data or burned through the flash cells incredibly fast.

Here’s a list of vendors that contribute to fwupd:

A manufacturer’s presence on that list doesn’t mean all its drives are covered, but it might be a good starting place when searching.

choose SSD with SLC

Drives made with SLC flash memory are practically nonexistent. Affordable ones completely so. Times have changed.

OP has multiple fediverse accounts and posted the same thing to communities on all of them. Either they’re deliberately spamming, or they don’t really understand how this stuff works yet.

Inaction is not consent.

the default state of the checkbox is on.

That’s a very strange thing to mistake for consent.
