  • extending down to the anus

    Brings a whole new dimension to the phrase “shit for brains”.

    But on a somewhat more serious thought, could we possibly see evolutionary pressures for adding extra gyri folds in the digestive tract to beef up ENS neuron numbers and density? I wonder if anyone has looked into it from an evolutionary biology perspective yet.

    In the future, could we all have a secondary hind brain like they used to theorize sauropods had, or possibly turn into Krang with his android body if Gordon Ramsey is the next step of human evolution?

    Layer 8 is colloquially the User, as that is the next “layer” up above the application. Only really used in a troubleshooting context indicating where the issue took place, it’s the networking equivalent for an PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair). For this analogy, layer 8 would probably be physics itself though.

    I felt the OSI model was pretty relevant because while speeds and latency has improved astronomically, it is all still run off of the Ethernet framework and the humble copper twisted pair and fiber optic cable aren’t really substantively different than they were in the 70s.

    Another way to look at it is comparing water to electricity itself. No one is complaining that going from the electric light bulb to vacuum tube logic gates to semiconducter logic gates to q-bit logic gates is just “using physics to direct electrons again”.

    Boiling water is just the layer 1 physical transport, all the cool stuff is happening at layers 2-7. The real mind blowing breakthrough would be if they finally did something to fix layer 8, but I ain’t holding my breath.





  • My issue has been with #1 on your cheat sheet. My first modern (post 2014) migration attempt was with Manjaro, but every time I would install updates it would break secure boot. Then 2 weeks ago it just flat out killed grub.

    I decided to take the advice of many people on the Linux side of Lemmy and nuked Manjaro in favor of CachyOS. I like it quite a bit more than Manjaro, and limine kicks grub’s ass, but I keep running into more limitations with the package manager. I look for windows software alternatives, find they should be available on the AUR, but then have problems getting an installation.

    There is a lack of good documentation for using AUR on Cachy, and things aren’t intuitive for a long time Windows power user. That doesn’t even get into flat pack or AppImage. It’s a very steep learning curve.



  • The Hunt for Red October did the same, the first minutes are in Russian with subtitles and then it slips into English mid sentence as if the audience adapted to the language. Very effective actually.

    Doesn’t change the fact that it’s Sean Connery’s brogue on a Russian naval captain, but at least it somewhat explains it. Clearly the captain is from wherever the Scottish equivalent for Russia is.
