We had a few problems three years ago with a rented Volkswagen Passat. The navigator was stupid as hell

Oh! I had one like that! The GPS insisted we had to take a route that ended in a dense forest. And we were like "nope, nope". So my flatmate just drove to the nearest big route he found and hoped for the best.

I have yet to see a horror movie start with "the navi drove them inside this dark, huge forest"

oh god that's scary

And thats where phones come in handy - just open gmaps or osmand and enjoy getting home safe the fastest way available.

I tell you, once he hits the "Trash this shit" state of mind I won't dare to open my mouth or do any suggestion. Anyway, he solved it.

oh god that's scary

"And with their degraded ability to even walk forward in the right direction they wouldn't ever be able to leave on their own and forever be doomed to drive in circles" "If you listen closely you might still hear their loud arguing how to get out of here in the winds"

That would be so perfect.... But in this case the forest was so dense that it was impossible to get in. We just stopped in the border, on one side some sort of hill, on the other thick forest.

absolutely scary.

And the automatic gearbox uses the 3D car maps to adapt the transmission gears in anticipation of a climb, etc

And I can imagine my flatmate cursing because he wants to make a change but the gearbox acted independently. ?

oh, automatic crapsmission

this winter my friend's BMW X3 xDrive got stuck in 5cm of snow. and even a 2WD car was able to move

What thing is 2WD?

*caughs* transmission, I mean

What thing is 2WD?

2 Wheel Drive

2 Wheel Drive

Ah, okay.

Normal cars according to myself.

Like Front or Rear Wheel Drive, instead of AWD/4WD (All/Four Wheel Drive)

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's the acronyms what always confuse me.

oh, ok

I guess I have little storage for acronyms

Mind storage I mean

5cm of snow flat road and and my Fiesta was perfectly able to move we had to pull the BMW ?

Okay. Looks like BMW needs to work a bit more in non-purely-urban surfaces.

Sixt have some 7 series... Only 90 euros a day ????

I think the ones he rented were somethin like 20 or 40 euros a day.

Even better, use chromium. The real thing uses less ram than a remodeled thing by unskilled engineers that adds more dependencies and ui to render.

I tested chromium. On my laptop it consumes more ram than usual, I don't know if I have to tune it a little....?

The amount of ram used by chromium is the same among it's derivatives such as opera, vivaldi etc. All of them run on the same blink engine. A little more ram than firefox but a little less cpu than firefox(though that is changed alot since webrender).

install ublock origin, enable gpu acceleration and that should be about it.

And again, dont worry about ram usage if the ram is free to be used by other programs (swappable ram).

The more ram your browser consumes so you can switch tabs faster, with less load and all the better.

Also chromium is the only browser which decodes h264 and vp9 at hardware level on linux(disabled by default). Firefox has yet to implement such feature.

You forget that on linux almost nothing uses gpu accelerarion in the video editing market so far.

Oh, damn. Really?

So unless it was a silicon graphics 8mb gpu it would be able to handle it since the cpu has to do it anyway - and if negativo and nouveau run side by side its not running the show, both might try to claim ans fail at taking the card.

When I was poking around, I couldn't use any of the Nvidia tools because it didn't recognize the proprietary drivers as installed, so it gave me compiling instructions instead. Maybe not the best indicator though

The entire movie industry uses Linux for CGI. Most studios have their in-house suites for such work. I bet those use GPU acceleration. What about them?

They use opencl/cuda.

Both are available by driver blobs or open source in amds/intels case.

But most FOSS video tools have not yet embedded opencl/quicksync video acceleration, unless you take MLT or similar software into account

I don't get it though. If Nvidea drivers don't work properly for us, how do they work for them?

Who said they use nvidia cards? :P

Also, when you talk about movie producing companies - disney can simply go to nvidia and demand a certified hardware configuration and drivers for 10k machines and order another company to do whatever it takes to make it work for them.

If you have a company at that scale and buying power from you you have a completely different base. Especially when its suddenly 900$-6000$ per card.

install ublock origin, enable gpu acceleration and that should be about it.

ok will test this out

thanks guys

When will my system mistake an ELF executable for a bash script?

Is it possible? For example if I run ./some_program, is there any chance that the some_program which is a binary executable, to be interpreted as a bash script?

./some_program executes only if the program has executable permissions. Like, it will execute a bash script only if you do chmod +x script. AFAIK it doesn't matter what language as long as it's executable..

and as long as it has a shebang

Wait. I've been able to execute scripts without shebang too.

They shouldn't be executed, but bash or sh actually do that if the script is in shell language.

Yes, I was talking about shell when I meant no shebangs :P

P. S. Fish is just another shell.

Ye I know what fish is :P I tried it but couldn't get myself to love it.

It was my first shell (friend suggested) and I still use it because I got used to.

Ah, nice. I actually started out with zsh because back then I want my shell to look cool. Now I moved to bash since I do a lot of scripting and I kinda find bash better at that. Just made my bash_prompt to look like zsh and I'm all set

I thought zsh supports all bash features.

While fish actually don't x3 And it does pipes in very bad way.

Unoptimized buffers ._.

I thought zsh supports all bash features.

Not ALL but yeah, it comes very close to it. I was using that for a while but then I had some issues with zsh and my scripts whereas the same ran perfectly in bash

Anyways zsh should be better than fish. Oh, and also, what is not really implemented in zsh but present in bash? I am interested in at least one example, thanks.

Well I can't remember of any such incidents this very instant but this, zsh is slow. You won't notice the difference in day to day usage but when you're constantly navigation back and forth got repositories with a ton of uncommitted stuff, it definitely shows. At times, it often took 3-4 seconds to actually start working about in the directory.. It wasn't freezing or something, it was loading but boi was it long when compared to bash. Bash is pretty snappy when it comes to showing the branch and commit status

.. And oh, zsh crashed one out of every 5-6 times I used this https://github.com/akhilnarang/scripts/blob/master/misc/ssh-copy-id-github.sh I use the google cloud computing services and often delete and make new instances. Copying ssh keys manually is very tiresome at times so I use this.

But shouldn't git related stuff depend on git itself but not on shell?

It is very strange, have you written your own shell prompt git integration or were using some plugin?

Gaming in Fedora event at our hackerspace ?

1st time ever we got an event with only boys; usually there's 85% girls ?

On zsh, I was using the default plugin but in bash, I kanged it off stackoverflow :P

You work for Mozilla?

No

It's just a Mozilla tablecloth

We got plenty of swag from different projects we support at our space

Haha, but that cloth is very cool tbh

With only boys?

Well, at first that was ?

No, Mariana and I were there as well

You weren't since the very beginning I mean

Because of course there are always boys and girls in our events

On zsh, I was using the default plugin but in bash, I kanged it off stackoverflow :P

So it highly depends on implementation. Maybe zsh plugin was just bad.

I believe you zsh could be slower than bash but such thing like git should work flawlessly no matter which shell you use.

You are probably right, I didn't really bother looking into it since I was too frustrated by that point :P

Well, everyone uses what he likes to use =P I am going to switch to zsh.

How different is fish from bash/zsh tho?
