well I never said that it would hit those targets, at this point I must say, I am more of applied physicist kind, so I mostly look at application rather than correctness. Plus my point was kinda applicable, the growth rate is decreasing (hit 243 in 9 hours, and then only git 70 more in next few hours, although that may also be because when the target is met, people start losing interest, but 81 is an exception) and hence the death.

Also, I did not really understand the bench reference, Is it a compliment? as in you consider me a worthy person you would happen to pass by on that bench, or is it me sticking with my idea

well I should eat my words, it completed in less than 9 hours

i never questioned it hitting, I was making some educated guesses about when can we expect that, previous post (81) got about 240 votes in 20ish hours, so i was expecting 243 to also take about same time. But there are some more things, people lose interest, all things have somewhat bell shaped curve, more like weighted bell shape, something like (polynomial)*(exponential with negative power), so most things eventually decay.

And the stats that I see in the sidebar

691 users / day
1.82K users / week
1.82K users / month
2.98K users / 6 months

from this I was making guesses, like 243 onwards, targets would not be met in a day, and for next tripling we get more into 3-4 day territory (assuming 691 users has about 200 new users), and by next cycle, we are limited (practically) by subscribers in this lemmy instance (1.16k is about half 2.2k) if we have 2 more cycles, we are practically limited by number of mathematically inclined people on lemmy, then we see it practically die

A sad ending

This is the point where we start hitting the daily limits, in 2 more cycles, maybe limits of lemmy instance, and in another 2, limits of lemmy

there is one more thing - unless you are using something like chaotic aur, or a very popular package, please pay attention to PKGBUILDS. These are essentially bash scripts which can (depending on your package manager) will run with highest permissions. They can do anything

I second this - for some reasons, my (almost) first distro was arch (first was a fedora for 3-4 days). Arch is great if you know what you are doing, you can have a lean mean compute machine

I have a question, what are you exactly seeking to repair?, like if you have a good working laptop, and if it gives good performance, then there may not be much need of repairing. One of the reasons for getting repairable hardware is that they last long, like I have laptops which are 13 and 7 years old, and they both “work”, batteries are dead, and replacements are not good, but other than that fine machines. If your laptop is not very flimsy, you may not even need an upgrade for a long time.

well even a raspberry pi would be enough, except for ML

depending on what exactly in ML, and what our the sizes of datasets involved?, like i did some work, but for me 8 GiB RAM was enough, but if you want to do larger databases, you would need somewhat good GPU (essentially large matrix multipliers) with plenty of VRAM

I disagree, gently, i like chains, they are fun, and sometimes creative, even the ones i know (like rick roll), maybe this gives a kick to my slightly troll-y side, sense it is harmless and fun (at least for me, fun is subjective). I even liked the thanks for gold, it is not like the gold means anything, it just makes the community feel more live

i dont really care about intelligence,as that is a very vague thing to care about, even definition may vary, but the second point is important to me

“Life is simultaneously too large and small, it is not worth spending time planning it”

yes, it was my “gamer” name a long time ago, and due to small(ish) size of fediverse, i get it easily, it is either sga, or some combination of sga and 13

I recently wrote my thesis in typst, best choice i could make

Have considered recrystallisation therapy

I am sorry, I dont know how to do syntax highlighting in html, if it helps, can you please check it on codeberg (link in table of content and also mid text), there you can choose your preferred highlighting.

Yes, it is similar to aliases, I covered that bit in executing stuff, my problem from the times i had aliases was that sometimes i could not remember the aliases i had set (i had greater than 50 at some time), and for such reasons, there are programs like navi and cheats, I used to use navi, but then i had a different binding to call navi (ctrl+g by default) and this way I have only 1 binding, and that helps develop a great muscle memory. also aliases can only mimic the behaviour of Type or Exec sections, for others, you would need something else

and yes, the result is indeed graphical, I will add screenshots

and alongside that, include your new mail as the reply to address, hopefully people will click for that while replying, and eventually save/use the new mail

Harambe, whatever happens, dont try to play with a child, that does not go well

you may not even have to change to another browser or fork, please have a look at some designs in https://trickypr.github.io/FirefoxCSS-Store.github.io/ select a design and follow the page, and you shall find the instructions (usually just downloading/pasting userChrome/Content.css)

and for scrolling tabs, if your problem is very small tab size, then try changing browser.tabs.tabMinWidth in about:config
