A vehicle rollover is among the worst things that can happen to you on the road. Although rollovers occur in only about 3 percent of all serious crashes, they account for about 30 percent of people killed while riding in a passenger vehicle.
Yes tech and safety systems have improved in 12 years, and in this case the suv's passengers might have been fine, but I suspect rollover survival stats are still worse. That's not even taking into account how rolling vehicles travel farther while rolling, putting other people at risk.
That being said we're only talking about rollovers here. Head-on collisions are a totally different story when you pit an SUV versus a regular sedan. But those results are more related to the differences in front crash zone height. And that's only happening because car companies were allowed to categorize SUVs as "non-passenger work vehicles", avoiding safety and emissions regulations. Here's a great video taking about it from Climate Town
Your correct. It is redundant. I think I needed the lvm layer to get an installer to recognize the luks partition. Can't remember if it's Pop or Fedora. That installer bug might be fixed now though. One day I'll check and update my drive so its just using btrfs on luks.
As much as I want to jump to conclusions, I can't help but think that this might be a correlation versus causation situation. It's possible that search engine results and their rankings were given different weights in a model. Ads would more often show up first in a search result.
Throw out/donate junk food. Don't buy more. Ask yourself if your actually hungry before getting a snack. Often times I'm just bored or procrastinating. But ive found the most success with HARD REASONABLE RULES.
Example : 2023 was the year of zero alcohol. I did it for a year and gave myself permission to drink again after the year's end. I didn't. Stopped caring about drinking after a few months without it. I can count the number of drinks on one hand I've had since then.
Example 2: 2024 was the no Candy and no ice cream year. Candy was defined as "anything you could find in a Halloween bag"
Ive found a lot of success with HARD reasonable clearly defined rules.
Might need to search around for exact commands but the main thing is you'll need the fdroid or source apk of termux for this to work from what I remember. So setup termux up on Obtainium or fdroid. Then inside termux pkg install syncthing should work. You might need to run the storage scripts found here https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Internal_and_external_storage
You can move over your existing syncthing exported config files (remove encryption first before exporting) to ~/.local/state/syncthing and edit the config.xml file. Remove the lines for username and password. This will allow you to create a new username and password when you run syncthing in termux. It should open a browser window to http://127.0.0.1:8384/ which is the normal syncthing web interface.
Ive switched to running syncthing inside termux. Battery life has actually improved significantly. You need to manually start syncthing after a reboot though. There's probably a way to start it automatically using scripts or an automation app.
Check out Termux and running it inside the termux terminal. It's the same package as what you'd get from apt and battery life has actually been better compared to the android fork. Need to manually start it after a reboot though.
Long shot to try when all the other suggestions failed. If you're dual booting, you may need to disable hibernation on the windows side so that when it shuts down it actually shuts down and releases hardware attachments. Ive have network, Bluetooth, and USB issues when windows wasn't configured correctly to work in a dual booting setup.
There was no mention of this, but if you're dual booting (which I don't recommend to anyone anymore) that might be causing the Bluetooth issue. Windows doesn't properly "let go" of some Hardware when you "shut down" with default settings. This is because the default settings are to hibernate instead of properly shutting down. Linux boots up and the hardware doesn't load correctly.
I'm a fan of the uBlue distros Bazzite (gaming), Aurora (KDE), and Bluefin (Gnome and software devs). Other than that, Mint, Fedora, or Pop beta if you want to try the new Cosmic desktop
I think Spotify is missing the point. People who care about Hi-Fi, care about the music, which means they care about the artists, which means they likely care about the treatment of those artists.
In my eyes the only real value Spotify adds is their discovery features.
Okay, "never would have happened" is an exaggerated statement. But you're talking about the headphone wires breaking. I'm talking about the USBC port on the phone itself breaking. I've never had a headphone jack PORT break. But Ive had 2 phones USBC ports fail from pressure on the plug.
I would much rather have the wire on headphones fail instead of the port on the device itself.
I've had this issue for years across at least 3 different phones, and probably 4 different sets of headphones. Mix of buds and over ears. Different brands.
I don't experience it much anymore, so I suspect its been fixed in more recent versions of Bluetooth.
No pace maker, no prosthetics, and I'm average weight. The Bluetooth tech was just half baked when it came out. Better now but I can still replicate the issue with older headphones.
I also experienced it a lot when walking around busy areas. Might be exacerbated by other nearby devices. No idea, but the point I'm trying to make is that removing the headphone jack from devices meant many people had to deal with this shit with no good alternative for years while the tech caught up
Not sure why, but BT experiences interference when in my pocket. The signal gets choppy when sections of my torso get in the way. Which is always when my phone is in my pocket. So I got USBC headphones/dongle.
On a bike ride, I noticed the audio was starting to disconnect. This happens often on rides and runs since the USBC plug sticks out a lot from the port and slowly wiggles loose. Except this time it wasn't loose. The leverage of the long plug on the short connector damaged the port. This never would have happened with a headphone jack. It has a strong connection that can rotate freely. Now I have a phone that can't charge or play music.
My next phone will be a sony xperia some they still have the jack and still allow the bootloader to be unlocked.

How much do you want to bet that a sedan or wagon or anything other than a truck/SUV would not have rolled in that crash.
Signal supports Trump? Source? I know the trump administration uses Signal, but that's like saying Air supports Trump because he also breathes air.

I like to use btrfs subvolumes inside a luks lvm volume for this reason.

Modal editors in general are awesome. Currently using Helix as my goto editor

Please don't associate dogs to those people. Dogs deserve better.

I'm guessing the use of AI is partially contributing to this drop.
