Friendly tiling setup for a laptop? (tiling window manager?)

I have a laptop with an 11 inch screen and 768p display. Naturally, my usage breakdown is:

  • 80% one window in fullscreen
  • 15% two windows side by side
  • 5% other

I've considered tiling window managers. I used i3wm on this in the past. It was a little complicated and I customized the bottom bar to show commands for dummies.

alt-Enter: term | alt-D: launch | alt-F: fullsc | alt-1: new workspace | alt-shift-1: move to workspace

That plus some battery, wifi, time info. I never got 'good' with i3 and would consult the cheat sheet regularly.

Is there a paradigm (tiling or otherwise) that would let me quickly and simply launch programs with the keyboard (like most distros these days) and switch between fullscreen windows? and set them side by side as needed?

My usage is keyboard-first but mouse-available. i3 didn't seem tailored to mouse usage the way some other tiling wms are. and sometimes you'd launch a program like the wifi settings window and it wasn't built to be resized for a twm, so it looked weird. (no floating window support.)

Timeshift

Trying (and failing) to setup Timeshift. Hoping to have it do snapshots of an ext4 LUKS-encrypted Arch system partition.

Documentation is thin on the ground and relates heavily to the GUI so problem solving hasn't been easy.

This is what I get when I run it for the first time:

$ sudo timeshift --create --comments "initial snapshot" First run mode (config file not found) Selected default snapshot type: RSYNC Mounted '/dev/dm-0 (nvme0n1pX)' at '/run/timeshift/991/backup' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimating system size... Creating new snapshot...(RSYNC) Saving to device: /dev/dm-0, mounted at path: /run/timeshift/991/backup Syncing files with rsync... E: rsync returned an error                                             E: Failed to create new snapshot Failed to create snapshot ------------------------------------------------------------------- Removing snapshots (incomplete): ------------------------------------------------------------------- Removing '2025-11-07_10-30-22'... Removed '2025-11-07_10-30-22'                                          ------------------------------------------------------------------- E: Failed to remove directory Ret=256

I initially left timeshift.json empty except for 'backup_device', but this is how it filled it out:
{  "backup_device_uuid" : "ab13bb9a-e4d6-4884-b8c8-XXXXXXXX",   "parent_device_uuid" : "904be7d0-a38d-4aed-9ee4-XXXXXXXX",   "do_first_run" : "false", "btrfs_mode" : "false",   "include_btrfs_home_for_backup" : "false",   "include_btrfs_home_for_restore" : "false",   "stop_cron_emails" : "true", "schedule_monthly" : "false", "schedule_weekly" : "false", "schedule_daily" : "false", "schedule_hourly" : "false", "schedule_boot" : "false", "count_monthly" : "2", "count_weekly" : "3", "count_daily" : "5", "count_hourly" : "6", "count_boot" : "5", "date_format" : "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", "exclude" : [ "/root/","/home/joe/" ], "exclude-apps" : [] }

I believe that unless you tell it otherwise, it will write snapshots to the same partition, which is what I want. 'parent_device' appears to be the LUKS crypto container that the root sits in.

Anyone spot the problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

Also, if I wanted to exclude a dir (inc. all subdirs & contents) at root called 'blah', would "/blah/**" be the correct exclude pattern?

I like wayland protocol support and how it's getting better but there are still some problems, like making OBS to record with a keyboard shortcut when it is not the upper window.
And there is a lot of PCs (mine) which are old and not compatible with wayland so I expect some desktops still support it for many years, I don't want a windows 11 moment to stop using a perfectly working machine...

What's a rule that you follow that has improved your personal life?

I've designated one room in my house to be an Airplane Mode room. Technically it has WiFi but whenever I'm in it I behave as if my phone didn't have any reception. Believe it or not, actively pretending that your phone has no WiFi works better than just passively putting on airplane mode. I always get a sense of calmness when I enter.

What artificial limits do you impose on yourself that ultimately enrich your life?

I don't drink at home. I'll let loose when I'm out with friends but at home I don't drink. I had a period of my life where I was very close to becoming an alcoholic. It wasn't until a recovering alcoholic (using extremely broken English) suddenly seemed very concerned with me and told me I could talk to him any time that I realized where I was heading. A couple years later I messaged him to tell him how important that moment was to me. I don't even know if he could read English well enough to get the point but I hope he understood.

Linux MacBooks & the cursed Broadcom module

I promise this isn't a rant or cry for help; I'm just sharing an interesting observation that the Linux community might appreciate. Please know I'm comfortable and knowledgeable enough to be dangerous on any platform, though I generally prefer Unix/Linux and macOS over Windows. I inherited an obsolete, under-powered MacBook Air (Intel i5, 4G RAM, 128G SSD) and I've been testing virtually every popular distro on it for the last few months. I encountered the same Linux shortcoming across every distro, and I thought some of y'all might find this mildly interesting.

There seems to be an underlying issue running Linux on MacBooks, stemming from the fact that MacBooks require a kernel module with proprietary firmware blobs to support their Broadcom wifi & bluetooth hardware. Now, the Broadcom module is readily available in every standard package manager, but it will never be included in the mainstream kernel since it contains closed source software. For distros with a self-contained installer, this is not a huge problem at first - just download and install the appropriate Broadcom package separately to patch your kernel after installation and you should be good, right?

No. Trouble is the kernel and other packages (but mostly kernel) get updated constantly, seemingly without regard to existing kernel module compatibility. Depending on the distro, that Broadcom package might be weeks or even months behind the latest kernel release. The effect of this is that it's never safe to just run software updates on a MacBook, because you're playing roulette with your wifi hardware every time. Desktops with ethernet are easier to recover from because it's easy to plug in, but for a laptop relying on wifi it's a much bigger hassle when your wifi breaks.

Obviously you can just revert to a prior kernel then pin the working kernel version in place, but held packages like your kernel impact other software as well. Simply running Linux on MacBook hardware generates this ongoing cycle of issues over the proprietary software blobs required for the hardware. Typical designed-for-Windows devices face this issue far less frequently, so the added hurdle for MacBooks feels mostly ignored by the general Linux community.

This makes rolling release distros particularly problematic on MacBooks, which is really a shame. Even an atomic distro like Bazzite (which provides that Broadcom module right out of the box, by the way) breaks a MacBook's wifi sooner or later if you install updates normally. I thought I was clever running Kali Linux for awhile. It runs really nicely on this meager hardware and KDE felt zippier than many other distros. I still had to manually install the Broadcom driver after installation, but with a Debian back-end I was really hoping it would pull delayed enough releases to keep the wifi working... it did not. Kali runs a rolling release based on Debian Testing, which still pulls recent enough kernel updates to break the wifi.

Many Arch-based distros won't even install (btw), because the install images require a working networking stack, relying solely on the kernel's built-in hardware support. I'm certain there are workarounds, but there's no obvious, easy way for casual users to inject the required Broadcom module into the downloaded installer. Sadly, the best long term solution I've found is to just stick to annual, major LTS release distros like Debian Stable where enough time passes after most package updates that my cursed Broadcom module has had sufficient time for the dev to catch up.

Don't get me wrong, I've been running Debian + KDE on my older-but-much-beefier MacBook Pro for years now, and it's been a constant source of pleasure to use. I just thought I'd share a little about the unique challenges of a Linux fan who happens to own some aging Mac hardware. Someone here probably knows an obvious solution to make this far easier for the average user. I'm not begging anyone for help, though I certainly welcome your comments. In any case, I hope you enjoyed this read. Mac hardware would be really nice to run Linux if it weren't for this module annoyance.

planish

This sounds like a bug in the distro packaging of the module, or maybe in Grub. You don't want to try and install any kernel package, or make your default boot option any kernel package, that the wifi driver package doesn't declare compatibility with.

But nobody's package manager knows to do this by default when the driver package is installed, and most packaging systems might not even be able to articulate that constraint.

nyan

I think you're using obsolete closed-source drivers that require external patches for each new kernel version. So the situation is entirely Broadcom's fault.

From the Gentoo ebuild for broadcom-sta:

If you are stuck using this unmaintained driver (likely in a MacBook), you may be interested to know that a newer compatible wireless card is supported by the in-tree brcmfmac driver. It has a model number BCM943602CS and is for sale on the second hand market for less than 20 USD.

I took the opportunity to "downgrade" to Windows 7. My old HP laptop (which is specifically for a few specialty Windows-only apps) feels double as fast now compared to Windows 10 before. And with the help of LegacyUpdates.net and VxKex-NEXT (provides the very few Windows 10 API calls so you can even run most Win10-only apps on Win7) you get a pretty nice and lean system.

You may create a bootable/live USB with Mint [1] installed on it, and try it out to see if its works perfectly for you - from functional and performance POV.

With Linux, at least you will continue to get security patches. For Win 7 and 10 are out of support now.

Facing problems using Bazzite for software development

I recently set up Bazzite on my friend's system after switching from Linux Mint due to some Nvidia driver issues. Although the hardware problems are not there anymore, the distro is now facing problems installing certain programs for software development that they had no problem installing in the previous distro. I think there are issues related to the immutability of the distro, though I am not sure since I am new to Linux too. Additionally, my friend is worried about higher storage consumption and slower performance in certain applications.

I realise the distro is primarily meant for gamers and my friend is not much of a gamer themselves, however they told me they appreciate its friendlier KDE interface so I wish to avoid switching from this distro again if possible. However I fear that they may encounter more errors in the future and that I may not be available to help them out whenever needed, so I am in a bit of a conundrum.

Thus I intend to ask here if it is possible to arrange something for easing development related tasks e.g. VM, distrobox etc. or whether it is easier to simply switch to some other compatible distro.

Why I Used EssayPay.com for My College Application Essay

When I first started working on my college application essay, I thought I could handle it on my own. Everyone says it’s supposed to “reflect who you are,” but honestly, I didn’t even know who I was at that point. I’d stare at the blinking cursor for hours and end up with three half-finished drafts that all sounded fake. The pressure was heavy—my future depended on a few paragraphs that had to sound natural but somehow extraordinary at the same time.

At some point, I just hit a wall. Between classes, my part-time job, and trying to keep up with everything else, I couldn’t think straight. That’s when I started looking for help. I didn’t want a full-on “someone write my essay for me” situation. I just wanted a service that could help me shape what I already had. I stumbled on Essaypay kind of by accident after reading a Reddit thread about essay writing services that don’t scam people. The name sounded a little weird at first, but the reviews were surprisingly solid.

The First Impression
The website felt straightforward—clean layout, no overpromises. You could tell it wasn’t just built to trick people. What caught my attention first was how transparent the order process was. It didn’t push me to “buy now” or hit me with pop-ups. I could upload my draft, get a price, and even see different writer levels. It felt safe, which mattered to me.

When I made my account, I noticed some features I hadn’t seen elsewhere:

What stood out:

Plagiarism protection — Every essay goes through their checker automatically.

Secure file upload/download — You can upload directly, and the files are encrypted.

Live progress tracking — I could literally see when my writer started working and when they paused.

Feedback system — You can comment directly on the document, and the writer can reply in real time.

Order history — Saved everything, including messages and files, so I didn’t have to dig through emails.

These sound like small things, but when you’re balancing a bunch of deadlines and feeling nervous about sharing personal stuff online, they matter.

Working With the Writer
I ended up being matched with a writer named “Jordan” (not sure if that’s a real name or a username, but whatever). I uploaded my messy draft and a few random notes from my phone. I told them my essay was supposed to be about how moving between schools made me more adaptable. It was all over the place. Jordan didn’t rewrite it; instead, they asked questions that made me think harder about what I wanted to say.

For example, they asked, “What moment really made you realize you were adaptable?” I didn’t even know how to answer at first, but that question shifted everything. I remembered a day when I was new at school, trying to sit alone at lunch, and someone spilled juice on my backpack. I laughed instead of getting angry. That became the emotional core of my essay.

Jordan didn’t use big academic language or filler. They kept my tone. The essay still sounded like me, just… more focused. That’s what I appreciated most.

How the Process Felt
If I had to describe the whole process in one word, it would be steady. Not rushed, not stressful. There was a timeline visible on my dashboard showing when each step would happen. That’s where the progress tracker helped. I didn’t have to guess whether my writer had disappeared or was working.

When I had feedback, I’d type it in the comments and get a reply within an hour or two. That feedback mechanism made the whole thing feel collaborative instead of transactional.

Also, they didn’t just deliver the essay and disappear. I could reopen the same order weeks later when I needed a shorter version for a scholarship. My order history had every file neatly stored, which honestly saved me that night when I almost missed the deadline.

What Made Me Trust It
I know a lot of people are skeptical about writing services. I was too. I’d heard the horror stories — essays copied from some old database, AI-generated text that gets flagged, or money disappearing with no essay in sight. That’s why I kept checking for plagiarism protection. EssayPay provides how to write effective essays a report after every submission, and mine came back at 0%. I even ran it through Turnitin myself (our school has access), and it passed.

That small detail — seeing an actual verified report — made me trust them.

Also, their secure file upload/download system isn’t something you notice until you think about what you’re uploading. These are personal essays with real stories and emotions. Knowing it’s encrypted made it easier to send my draft without worrying someone could leak it.

What Could Be Better
Nothing’s perfect. The site layout on mobile wasn’t great — hard to navigate the chat when I was trying to send comments during work breaks. And while the writers are responsive, they’re not therapists. Sometimes I’d send a long emotional message about how stressed I felt, and they’d just say, “Understood, I will improve that paragraph.” Which, fair enough, that’s their job. But still, there’s a limit to how personal this process can get.

The Results
In the end, my essay top-rated research paper services felt right. It didn’t sound like something written by a stranger. It had my voice but with structure and clarity. My English teacher even said it was “authentic and sharp.” I submitted it to three colleges and got accepted to two of them.

The Full Body Pillow

full body pillow

The full body pillow is a great option for pregnant women because it provides support all around your body. It helps to reduce pain and swelling in the neck, back, and legs. Additionally, it supports your head and cervical spine. This pillow is also adjustable, so you can find the perfect fit for you.

What are the Benefits of a Full Body Pillow for Pregnant Women?

A full body pillow is a great way to ensure that your pregnant woman gets the support she needs while sleeping. By lying on your side rather than on your back, you reduce stress on your spine and can help to relieve neck and back pain. There are many benefits to using a full-body pillow during pregnancy, including:


  1. Increased Comfort: A full-body pillow supports your head, neck, and spine in a way that a traditional pillow can't. This can help you get a better night's sleep, which is important for both you and your baby.
  2. Improved Circulation: Pregnant women often have more trouble with circulation than usual, which can lead to fatigue and other problems. Using a full-body pillow can help improve circulation by supporting your whole body.
  3. Reduced Back Pain: Many pregnant women experience back pain at some point during their pregnancies. By using a full-body pillow, you can reduce the chance of developing this problem further.
  4. Reduced Stress Levels: Sleeping on your side or stomach puts pressure on your lower back and abdominal area, which can lead to stress headaches and other problems. A full-body pillow can help relieve some of this stress by supporting your entire body weight evenly.
  5. Increased Flexibility: Pregnant women often have increased flexibility problems, which can make it difficult to move your body easily. A full-body pillow can help you improve your flexibility by supporting your whole body.


The Different Types of Full Body Pillows for Pregnant Women

There are a lot of different types of full body pillows for pregnant women, and each will offer its own unique benefits. Here are the four main types:


  • Foam Pillow Body Pillow: This type is typically made from foam or memory foam, which is soft and comfortable to rest your head on. It's a good choice if you're looking for something that's lightweight and won't take up much space.
  • Memory Foam Pillow: This type is made from memory foam, which is incredibly soft and luxurious. It's great for pregnant women because it provides plenty of support for your head and neck, and it also stays conformable throughout the night to ensure that you have a comfortable place to rest your head.
  • Down Pillow: Down pillows are made from 100% down feathers, which are hypoallergenic and naturally warm. They provide exceptional support for your head and neck, while remaining relatively lightweight and portable. Down pillows are especially beneficial if you suffer from chronic neck pain or any other form of pain in your back or neck area.


Pros and Cons of a Full Body Pillow for Pregnant Women

When looking for the perfect full body pillow for pregnant women, it’s important to consider both the pros and cons of using one. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Pros of a Full Body Pillow for Pregnant Women

A full body pillow can provide support and comfort during pregnancy, helping to alleviate back pain, sciatica symptoms, and other conditions. Additionally, a pillow designed specifically for pregnant women can help prevent miscarrying by maintaining correct spinal alignment.

Cons of a Full Body Pillow for Pregnant Women

Full body pillows can be bulky and difficult to transport. They may also be too large or wide for some pregnant women’s bodies, making them uncomfortable or even impossible to use. Additionally, full body pillows may not be effective at relieving pressure points on the neck or head, so they may not be ideal for people with specific pregnancy-related pain issues.

What to Expect When Sleeping on a Full Body Pillow for Pregnant Women?

When you are pregnant, your body undergoes a lot of change. You may find that you need more support both during the day and at night. Sleeping on a full body pillow can help you get the support you need to feel comfortable and rested. Here is what you can expect when sleeping on a full body pillow for pregnant women:

1) A full body pillow will support your entire body. This means that it will help distribute your weight evenly, which will reduce pain in your neck, back, and other areas.

2) A full body pillow will prevent spine compression. When you sleep on your side or stomach, your spine compression can lead to pain and other issues down the line. Instead, sleep on a full body pillow so that your spine can relax and heal properly.

3) A full body pillow will increase blood flow to your womb and baby. When you sleep comfortably, it sends positive signals to your brain telling it that everything is alright--including during childbirth! In addition, a full body pillow helps relieve tension headaches and migraines by redistributing pressure off of different parts of the head.

How to Choose the Right Full Body Pillow for You?

Are you pregnant and looking for the perfect full body pillow? There are many different types and brands of full body pillows on the market, so it can be hard to decide which one is right for you. Here are some tips on how to choose the right one for you:


  1. Size: The first thing to consider is your size. Your full body pillow should comfortably support your head, neck, back, and hips. Pay close attention to the size specifications on the product page to make sure that you’re getting a pillow that will fit correctly.
  2. Material: Your full body pillow should be made from a soft material, preferably a cotton or down alternative. This will help you get a good night’s sleep while minimizing any pressure points or pain in your neck or back.
  3. Design: Finally, consider the design of your chosen full body pillow. Some people prefer slumber pillows with designs that mimic those found on actual bedding, while others prefer more traditional pillows without any embellishments. Whichever design you prefer is up to you!


Now that you know how to choose the right full body pillow for you, get yourself a good night’s sleep and enjoy a restful night’s sleep!

You've just had a dental treatment, whether it was teeth whitening, a new crown, or getting your braces removed. Now you want to capture that perfect smile. You don't need expensive equipment; with a bit of planning, steady hands, and the right lighting, you can take a great selfie. Here are some simple steps to ensure your smile looks just as good in the photo as it does in real life.

Prepare Your Mouth (Yes, Prep)


After your dental work, follow your dentist's instructions. If you were told to avoid certain foods or to skip brushing for a while, make sure to follow those guidelines. For cosmetic treatments like whitening or veneers, wait the recommended time before heavy brushing or using mouthwash.

Gently rinse with water or the mouthwash your dentist suggested. If there's any minor bleeding or swelling, give it time to settle. A relaxed, pain-free mouth will look better than a forced smile that draws attention to irritation.

Clean Teeth for a Natural Look


Ensure your teeth look their best. Brush (when allowed), floss carefully, and apply a bit of lip balm to prevent chapped lips from distracting from your teeth. Avoid bright-red lipstick or very dark lip colors right after dental work, as they can create harsh contrasts that trick the camera.

If you had whitening, remember that your teeth may appear slightly brighter immediately after treatment. This is normal. A neutral lip color or a soft gloss will keep the look natural and flattering.

Choose the Right Lighting


Lighting is crucial for any good selfie. Natural light is ideal. Face a window and let soft daylight illuminate your face. Avoid harsh overhead lighting and direct sunlight, which can cast shadows or make you squint.

If you're indoors without good window light, use a ring light or a lamp placed behind the phone. Position the light slightly above eye level for a flattering look. The goal is to achieve soft, even light that highlights your smile without washing out your features.

Background and Framing


Keep the background simple. A plain wall, a tidy room, or a blurred background will keep the focus on your face. Too much clutter can distract from your smile.

Frame the shot from mid-chest up to a little above your head. For close-ups of your teeth, crop in slightly so the mouth is the focal point, but don't cut off the chin or nose — context helps the photo feel natural.

Pose and Angle


Tilt your head slightly for a more flattering angle rather than staring straight into the camera. Turn three-quarters toward the camera instead of facing it directly. This hides any asymmetry and adds dimension to your face.

For shots focusing on your teeth, lower your chin a bit and smile naturally. To avoid an overly wide grin, which can look strained, breathe, relax your jaw, and think of something that genuinely makes you smile — a real smile softens the eyes and looks authentic.

Show the Right Amount of Teeth


Not every smile needs to be tooth-baring. If you had major cosmetic work and want to show it off, smile a little wider to make your teeth visible. If you prefer a subtler result, a closed-lip smile or a small grin can be equally lovely.

If you're photographing restorations like crowns or veneers, slightly parting your lips and keeping your mouth relaxed gives context to the dentist's work without looking staged.

Use the Right Camera Settings


Use your phone's rear camera whenever possible, as it generally offers higher resolution than the selfie camera. If you must use the front camera, tap the screen to focus on your face to adjust the exposure properly.

Turn on portrait mode for a soft background blur, which helps your smile stand out. Avoid heavy beauty filters that can alter tooth color or texture. You want the image to look like you — not like a filter.

Stabilize and Shoot Multiple Frames


Keep your phone steady. Prop your elbow on a table or use a selfie stick if you have one. Use the phone's timer (2 or 3 seconds) to avoid movement from tapping the shutter.

Take several shots with slight variations: different angles, a wider grin, a softer smile. Having options will ensure you get the perfect shot.

Check Color and Tone — But Don't Over-Edit


After selecting a photo, make subtle edits: crop, straighten, and slightly adjust brightness or contrast if needed. Avoid heavy whitening filters, as they can make your teeth look unnatural and may not reflect the real result.

If you want to touch up minor blemishes, use tools sparingly. Transparency keeps the photo honest and relatable. If you plan to share the photo publicly and mention your dentist, it's good to be truthful about any filters or edits you used.

Mind Healing and Timing


If you had a recent invasive procedure, wait until swelling or soreness subsides. For cosmetic treatments, your dentist may recommend waiting a day or two before taking close-up photos, especially if your gums are tender.

For whitening treatments, some people prefer to wait 24–48 hours to allow sensitivity to decrease and for the color to settle. When in doubt, ask your dentist at Clementi (or wherever you received treatment) for guidance on ideal timing.

Smile Captions and Context


If you're sharing the photo on social media, a short caption works best. Keep it genuine — a simple "Feeling confident after my treatment" or "Happy with my new smile" reads better than flowery language. If you want to mention your provider, keep it factual: the clinic name, procedure, and a brief note about the recovery timeline.

Respect Privacy and Safety


If your dental work was done at a clinic, check any clinic policies before tagging or naming them in public posts. Avoid posting close-ups of surgical sites or bleeding. Also, refrain from recommending specific treatments unless you explicitly state that this is your personal experience and not medical advice.

Final Checklist (Quick)


Follow your dentist's post-treatment care first.
Rinse and gently clean your mouth.
Use soft, natural light.
Keep the background simple.
Tilt slightly; smile naturally.
Use the rear camera or portrait mode.
Stabilize the phone and take many shots.
Edit lightly and honestly.
Wait for swelling or sensitivity to settle if needed.

A great post-treatment selfie is mostly about feeling relaxed and confident. The technical tips help, but authenticity makes the photo resonate. If you recently visited a dentist at Clementi and you're pleased with the results, your smile will show it — and that's the best picture to share.

Is a Mobile Stone Crusher Plant More Expensive? A Comprehensive Cost Breakdown

The question of whether a mobile stone crusher plant is more expensive than its stationary counterpart is one of the most persistent inquiries in aggregate processing. A cursory glance at the initial purchase orders seems to deliver a clear verdict: the mobile unit commands a significant premium. However, this perspective is myopic. It fails to account for the profound operational, logistical, and strategic variables that define the true cost of ownership in the crushing business. A comprehensive cost breakdown requires moving beyond the invoice to analyze the entire lifecycle of the equipment. The higher upfront investment for a mobile stone crusher plant is not merely a price tag; it is a capital allocation that purchases a radical reconfiguration of a quarry or contractor's operational paradigm, with implications for efficiency, market reach, and long-term profitability.

granite crusher mobile

The Initial Price Tag: A Superficial Comparison


On a component-for-component basis, a mobile crushing plant is inherently more complex and costly to manufacture. The core crusher, screen, and conveyors must be integrated onto a single, robust chassis equipped with a hydraulic system and sometimes even its own power pack. This engineering feat of creating a fully functional processing plant on a mobile platform incurs a substantial manufacturing premium. Furthermore, the configuration itself adds layers of cost. A tracked mobile plant, offering the greatest autonomy and terrain-handling capability, is more expensive than a wheeled trailer version. Ancillary costs, such as remote controls and sophisticated dust suppression systems integrated into the compact design, further widen the initial price gap. Finally, the brand and the level of technological sophistication introduce a significant surcharge. Advanced automation, telematics for remote monitoring, and patented crushing chamber designs all contribute to a higher capital outlay but promise greater efficiency and control.

Mobile Crusher Plant

The Operational Calculus: Where Mobility Alters the Equation


The financial narrative begins its dramatic shift when the plant is put to work. The most impactful saving delivered by a mobile crusher is the radical reduction, and often elimination, of material haulage. In a traditional setup with a fixed plant, excavators load trucks that shuttle raw material from the face to the primary crusher, and then often again to secondary processing stations. This cycle consumes vast quantities of diesel, incurs high labor costs for drivers, and subjects a fleet of trucks to intense wear and tear. A mobile plant is simply driven to the rock face, obliterating this entire cost center. This leads directly to a second operational advantage: on-demand production and site flexibility. The machine can be relocated around a large quarry to process different material stockpiles or even moved to an entirely new project site within days. This agility allows contractors to respond to market demands and secure projects that would be logistically or economically unviable with a stationary setup, optimizing the asset's utilization rate.

The Intangible Equity: Value Beyond Direct Cost


The value proposition of mobile crushing extends into less tangible, yet critically important, forms of business equity. The first is enhanced bidding power and contractual agility. A contractor with a mobile plant is not geographically tethered. They can competitively bid on projects spread across a wide region, from urban demolition recycling to remote rural road construction, without the prohibitive cost of establishing a fixed installation. This mobility also addresses the growing scarcity of prime, permitted locations for fixed plants. Zoning restrictions and environmental regulations make securing a long-term site for a stationary plant increasingly difficult. The mobile solution bypasses this constraint entirely. Moreover, a well-maintained mobile rock crusher plant holds a significantly higher residual value and is far more liquid in the used equipment market than a stationary plant, which is often considered a semi-permanent fixture. This asset liquidity is a crucial financial safety net.

The Final Tally: A Question of Business Model


The ultimate verdict on cost is not universal; it is contingent on the business model. For a high-volume, single-site quarry with decades of reserves and established infrastructure, the lower initial cost and potentially higher ultimate throughput of a well-designed stationary plant may be the most economical path. The investment is amortized over a long period of massive, consistent production. Conversely, for a multi-site operator, a demolition contractor, or a quarry with multiple, dispersed pits, the mobile plant is unequivocally the more cost-effective solution. Its ability to eliminate haulage, pivot between projects, and unlock new revenue streams delivers a return on investment that the stationary model cannot match. The final calculation must be a thorough analysis of the total cost of ownership, factoring in not just the purchase price, but fuel, labor, maintenance, transportation, and the potential for revenue generation across the machine's entire working life. For a dynamic and ambitious operation, the premium for mobility is not an expense; it is the price of entry into a more profitable and resilient future.

XBRL Filing in Singapore: A Simple Guide for Small Businesses


 XBRL filing doesn't need to be painful. The real work is in preparing accurate, well-organized accounts. Once that's done, tagging and filing are straightforward.

Running a small business in Singapore means dealing with various administrative tasks, including XBRL filing. While it may seem daunting, understanding the basics and following a structured approach can make the process much simpler. This guide aims to demystify XBRL filing and provide actionable steps to ensure compliance.

Understanding XBRL and Its Importance


XBRL, or eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is a digital format for financial data that enables machines to read and compare financial information easily. ACRA requires most incorporated companies in Singapore to file their financial statements in XBRL format. This has been the standard for many years, covering the majority of locally incorporated companies unless a specific exemption applies.

Who Needs to File


Most private companies need to attach either a full set of XBRL-tagged financial statements or key financial data in XBRL format, along with PDF copies of their AGM accounts. There are exemptions for dormant companies, certain qualifying small companies, and a few special cases. However, don't assume exemption without verifying ACRA's rules. Skipping the XBRL step when required will lead to questions from ACRA.

A Simple Workflow You Can Follow


Start with your AGM financial statements—the version approved by the directors and presented to shareholders. ACRA recommends using its BizFinx Preparation Tool to convert this document into XBRL format. The tool guides you through tagging the correct numbers and selecting the appropriate taxonomy items. Once the XBRL file validates, attach it to your annual return on BizFile+ and submit. The process is straightforward if your accounts are well-organized.

Practical Tips on Preparation


Keep your financial statements clear and consistent. Use the same labels and structure as when you prepared the AGM accounts. If you plan to use BizFinx, prepare the source document in Word or Excel as ACRA expects. Avoid last-minute edits to numbers after tagging. Validation errors often arise from mismatched figures, missing comparative periods, or incorrect taxonomy mapping. Take time to resolve these issues before filing.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them


One common mistake is waiting until the last week to start XBRL. Another is assuming the XBRL tool will "fix" messy accounts—it won't. Prepare the accounts properly first. Also, be aware of exemptions and special business rules—if you're eligible, you may file a simpler XBRL dataset or apply for a rule exemption through ACRA rather than forcing a full submission.

Using Software and Validators


You have several options. ACRA's BizFinx tool is free and designed for smaller companies. Accounting packages and third-party providers also offer XBRL export capabilities that integrate with the submission step. Regardless of the route you choose, run the ACRA validator before lodging. This is the fastest way to catch structural errors. If a validator flags an issue, fix the source document and regenerate the XBRL file.

How Corporate Secretarial Services Fit In


Filing XBRL involves both data and process management. Many small companies use corporate secretarial services to handle this. A good provider keeps statutory books in order, coordinates with your accountant, runs the XBRL validation, and lodges the files on BizFile+. They don't handle your accounting, but they make the filing process smooth and reduce the risk of missing deadlines. If compliance isn't your strong suit, outsourcing this step is a practical choice.

Costs and Time to Budget For


If your accounts are straightforward, converting to XBRL and filing can take a few hours. If there are complexities—such as multiple subsidiaries, unusual disclosures, or non-cash transactions—expect more time. Using a corporate secretarial services firm adds cost but saves you time and the stress of redoing failed filings. Budget for a short review cycle and a buffer before the annual return deadline.

When to Get Help from a Professional


Seek help early if you have unusual items like share-based payments, related-party transactions, or unusual tax positions. Also, ask for help if you've never used BizFinx or XBRL before. Your accountant prepares the numbers, while a secretarial services Singapore assists with tagging, validation, and lodgement. Together, they help you complete the process faster.

A Small Business Checklist Before You File


  • Ensure the AGM-tabled financial statements are final.
  • Prepare the source document in Word or Excel.
  • Use BizFinx or equivalent software to tag and generate XBRL.
  • Run the ACRA validator and fix errors.
  • Attach the XBRL file to your annual return on BizFile+ and submit.
  • Save the lodgement receipt.
  • Keep copies of the tagged files and source documents for your records.


Final Thoughts: Keep It Simple, Keep It Early


XBRL filing doesn't need to be painful. The real work is in preparing accurate, well-organized accounts. Once that's done, tagging and filing are straightforward. If you'd rather remove the admin from your plate, consider corporate secretarial services to coordinate the process with your accountant. This allows you to focus on running your business while someone else handles the technical filing details.

If you want a short starter plan this week: confirm your financial statements are final, download the BizFinx tool, and map out two days to run validation and lodge on BizFile+. This small effort prevents last-minute headaches and keeps your filings clean and compliant.

Technical Requirements for Crushing and Screening Equipment in New Energy Mineral Development

The global shift toward renewable energy has intensified demand for minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements. These materials are essential for batteries, wind turbines, and solar panel production, creating a surge in mining activity focused on new energy resources. In this context, the performance and reliability of crushing and screening equipment have become critical for efficient mineral processing. High-capacity and specialized systems, including stone crusher plant, gravel crusher, and granite crusher, are playing an increasingly important role in meeting the technical requirements of modern energy mineral development.

Understanding Material Characteristics in New Energy Mining


New energy minerals often present unique processing challenges due to their hardness, abrasiveness, and variability in particle size. For instance, lithium-bearing spodumene ores are extremely hard, while nickel laterites require careful handling to avoid excessive fines generation. Similarly, cobalt and rare earth mineral deposits often contain a mix of soft and hard rock.

A stone crusher plant(planta de trituracion de piedra) used in these mining applications must be capable of handling high hardness levels while maintaining consistent throughput. Crushing equipment should minimize particle degradation to ensure optimal recovery rates in downstream processing. Additionally, specialized gravel crusher units are often employed to produce uniform particle sizes required for flotation and leaching processes in new energy mineral extraction.

Granite-rich deposits are another common challenge in regions where lithium and rare earth elements occur within igneous formations. A robust granite crusher must withstand high abrasion while producing precise gradations for further processing. This combination of durability, efficiency, and particle control is crucial for the economic viability of new energy mineral operations.

Key Technical Requirements for Crushing Equipment

High Crushing Capacity


New energy mineral projects often involve large-scale extraction. Crushers must be designed to handle high throughput without compromising performance. A well-designed stone crusher plant should allow continuous operation with minimal downtime and rapid maintenance capabilities.

Precision and Particle Size Control


Uniform particle size is critical for maximizing recovery rates in chemical extraction processes. Crushing systems should include adjustable settings and screening capabilities to ensure consistent output. Gravel crusher(trituradora de piedra para grava precio) units are particularly useful for producing specific aggregate sizes required for leaching or flotation stages.

Wear Resistance and Durability


Mining ores for new energy minerals can be highly abrasive. High-quality materials, wear-resistant liners, and reinforced structures are essential in granite crusher and other crushing equipment to extend service life and reduce maintenance costs.

Automation and Intelligent Control


Modern operations require intelligent control systems capable of monitoring real-time parameters such as feed rate, crusher load, and material hardness. Automation allows for rapid adjustments, reducing energy consumption and optimizing production efficiency.

Energy Efficiency


Energy costs are a major factor in mineral processing, particularly for projects in remote areas. Equipment with variable frequency drives, optimized motor efficiency, and energy recovery systems can significantly reduce operational costs.

Flexibility and Modularity


Given the diversity of ore types and site conditions in new energy mineral projects, crushing equipment should be modular and adaptable. Mobile or semi-mobile systems allow relocation between extraction sites while maintaining consistent output quality.

Screening Requirements for New Energy Mineral Processing


Screening plays a critical role in separating crushed ore into size fractions suitable for further processing. High-efficiency vibrating screens, trommels, and multi-deck systems are often employed alongside stone crusher plant operations to achieve precise grading. For example, in lithium processing, screens must separate fine spodumene particles from coarse rock without generating excessive dust or fines.

The integration of screening systems with crushing equipment ensures a continuous material flow, reduces bottlenecks, and improves overall plant efficiency. By coupling gravel crusher and granite crusher(trituradora de granito) outputs with well-designed screens, operators can maintain consistent feed quality for downstream beneficiation or chemical treatment processes.

Environmental and Operational Considerations


New energy mineral projects frequently operate in sensitive ecological regions, including high-altitude zones and arid environments. Crushing and screening equipment must incorporate dust suppression, noise reduction, and water recycling systems to meet environmental regulations. Equipment that minimizes footprint and maximizes operational safety is increasingly valued in these projects.

Additionally, ease of maintenance and remote monitoring capabilities are critical for sites located far from urban centers. Modular stone crusher plant designs with accessible components and real-time diagnostic systems can significantly improve uptime and operational reliability.

Conclusion


The development of new energy minerals demands crushing and screening equipment that combines high performance, precision, durability, and adaptability. From stone crusher plant installations to specialized gravel crusher and granite crusher units, modern technologies are enabling mining operators to meet the challenges of hard, abrasive ores and strict environmental requirements.

By focusing on technical requirements such as high crushing capacity, uniform particle sizing, wear resistance, energy efficiency, and intelligent automation, operators can ensure consistent production, cost-effective operations, and compliance with sustainability standards. As global demand for renewable energy minerals continues to grow, the role of advanced crushing and screening equipment will remain central to the success of new energy mineral projects.

Recommendations for a small used laptop

Working on the assumption that Win10 being EOL is going to cause an influx of old hardware becoming available, I was thinking it might be a good time to start looking for a good deal on a laptop for travel. It doesn't HAVE to be an old unsupported laptop, but saving something from e-waste is a bonus. Here's the kind of thing I'm looking for.

  • Something small-ish, around a 13" screen.
  • Can install Linux. Generally a given, I know. But I think not always an option with Chromebooks? I'm OK with a Chromebook as long as I can replace ChromeOS with Linux.
  • X86_64 preferred. For games, though obviously not a great platform for that. Not opposed to ARM, but the PineBook Pro is compelling as a small low-cost ARM laptop, it'd have to be a better deal than that.
  • Somewhat serviceable. I'd like to have the option to replace the batteries, storage, and memory. Being able to replace the wireless card would be nice.
  • Durable would be a bonus. It probably won't see a lot of use, but it'll get tossed around in a backpack or in luggage.
  • Specs aren't too important. I like my distros lightweight, and a web browser will be the most demanding thing it'll run.

All of that might be too much of a unicorn, but if I can find a good deal that mostly fits, I'll be happy.

Try locally. Facebook marketplace is huge in the USA. It's a royal pain to sell tech offline, so you get good deals. Selection is worse so just broaden your search or be patient.

Business laptops are more rugged and serviceable. 4chan's /g/ has a thread for "thinkpad general" which is all the business laptops. (Mind the 4chan racism and transphobia.) I've found that Dells are far more common (and thus cheap) than comparable HPs or Thinkpads.

For some price comparison, I sold a 6th gen Intel Dell laptop with a 1080p screen for about $60. On ebay they run $40-$100.

Dug my old laptop out (HP G60, Turion X2 64) - and installed Mint XFCE on it - so far it's useable, but of course still slow. I'm amazed it works as well as it does (3 GB ram and an SSD). The CPU usage is at 100% a lot of the time.

My question is, what distros do you guys like for this age of laptop? This is a spare so more for messing around. I was thinking of trying Arch as I've hard it's somewhat lightweight but not sure. I've really only used Debian since I've been on linux.

Why and how we're migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs by Stefano Marinelli - BSDCan 2025

Why (and how) we're migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs by Stefano Marinelli

A few years ago, we decided to migrate many of our servers (and many of those of our clients) from Linux to the BSDs - FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD - depending on the specific services. In this presentation, I will discuss the reasons behind our decision, the technical and organizational challenges we faced, the tangible benefits we have experienced, and why we believe this migration is successful. I will provide specific examples and real-life case studies. In an increasingly complex world, relying on simple, stable, and secure solutions is becoming more and more important, and the BSDs can make a significant contribution in this direction.

How to Debug Video Mode not Supported

I previously posted to Lemmy about my 8K TV and attempts to get it working on Linux. Based on suggestions there I bought an Intel Arc B580 which apparently supports 8K. But I can't get that on my TV. I've tried multiple cables, multiple video cards (including the NVidia one), and both HDMI and DisplayPort output from GPUs.

How can I find out where the problem is? Can I interrogate a HDMI or DisplayPort target to find out what modes it claims to support? Can I ask the GPU what modes are actually supported on it's outputs? If so how?

I don't have deep knowledge on the topic but you might want to look into EDID, which is how your system knows what resolutions the monitor supports. Incorrect detection of maximum resolutions and refresh rates is a semi-common problem on Linux and the fix for that is a custom modeline; setting one will be compositor dependent on Wayland (on X11 xrandr will do).

However it's also possible that all the cables you have are bad and/or don't support 8K.

The Importance of Genuine Manitowoc Parts for Crane Safety


 When you weigh the minor savings from non-genuine parts against the potential costs of downtime, lost coverage, or injury, the choice is clear. In the world of lifting, safety starts with the right parts. Use parts that were meant to be there. Your crew w

When a crane sits idle on a job site, it's a visible sign of inefficiency. When it fails unexpectedly, it can lead to severe consequences, including injuries. The machines we rely on to lift heavy loads and position materials with precision have little room for error. That's why the parts we use, even the smallest pins and seals, are critical. Genuine Manitowoc parts aren't just a luxury; they are an integral part of a comprehensive safety system.

The Safety Chain: How Parts Matter


A crane operates as a complex system, with hydraulics, wire rope, pulleys, electronics, and structural components all working together. Failures often cascade, starting with a small component that wasn't up to spec. A worn seal that leaks hydraulic fluid can alter pressure in a cylinder, causing a boom to drift. A misfitted bearing can accelerate wear in a turntable. The initial failure might not be obvious, but the consequences can be severe.

Genuine parts are engineered to work seamlessly within these systems. They meet the precise tolerances and material specifications set by the machine's designers. Non-genuine parts, especially those made without complete engineering data, can disrupt the stress distribution and lead to unpredictable failures. When safety is paramount, genuine parts are a necessity, not an option.

Traceability and Quality Control


One of the key safety advantages of genuine Manitowoc parts is their traceability. Each component comes with batch records, material certifications, and inspection data. This documentation allows parts to be traced back to their origin, which is crucial if a problem arises later.

Non-genuine or counterfeit parts rarely offer this level of traceability. Without it, you can't verify whether a batch was properly heat-treated, whether the material met specifications, or whether a part passed final inspection. This lack of information complicates failure investigations and increases the risk of the same faulty part being used elsewhere.

Quality control further reduces variability. Genuine Manitowoc parts undergo consistent inspection and testing, ensuring predictability. This predictability allows maintenance teams to forecast wear and schedule replacements proactively, enhancing overall safety.

Fit and Function Beyond Dimensions


It's a common misconception that parts with the same dimensions are interchangeable. However, fit and function depend on more than just measurements. Surface finish, material composition, heat treatment, and lubrication properties all play a role in performance. Two pins that appear identical on paper might behave very differently under cyclical load if one uses a different steel or hardness profile.

For load-bearing components, these small differences can have significant consequences. A slightly softer steel might deform over time, altering clearances and increasing fatigue elsewhere. Genuine Manitowoc parts are specifically engineered for the duty cycles and harsh environments cranes face, such as salt spray, dust, heavy loads, and long daily hours.

Electronics and Software Integration


Modern cranes rely heavily on electronics. Load moment indicators, anti-two block systems, and PLCs monitor performance and intervene when necessary. Using unverified electronic modules or firmware from unknown sources can disable safety features or provide inaccurate readings.

Genuine electronic components are validated to work with the crane's monitoring systems. They include safeguards, secure firmware, and calibration that matches the crane's sensors. Altering these elements can lead to unpredictable behavior, which is especially dangerous during lifting operations.

Simplifying Maintenance and Boosting Technician Confidence


Genuine parts offer another practical benefit: familiarity. Technicians are already knowledgeable about how these parts behave, reducing the cognitive load during maintenance. Mechanics don't need to guess about material properties or manufacturing shortcuts. This familiarity speeds up correct installation and torqueing, reduces rework, and minimizes the risk of mistakes.

In high-pressure job site situations, clarity is crucial. Technicians who trust the parts they install are less likely to skip necessary checks or improvise fixes that compromise safety.

Insurance, Warranties, and Regulatory Compliance


Using genuine parts can have broader implications beyond immediate mechanical safety. Insurance providers often review maintenance records and parts provenance when assessing claims after an incident. If a failure is traced back to a non-genuine component, insurers may deny coverage or increase premiums.

Similarly, manufacturer warranties and recommended maintenance schedules typically require or strongly prefer genuine replacement parts. For regulated lifts, especially those under strict safety programs, using approved parts helps demonstrate due diligence during audits or investigations.

Choosing a Reliable Crane Parts Supplier


Finding parts is one thing; finding the right source is another. A trustworthy crane parts supplier should offer documentation, part numbers, and the ability to trace components back to the factory. They should also have technical knowledge about fitment and compatibility, not just a price list.

Ask suppliers for mill certificates, batch numbers, or serial numbers where applicable. Check if they offer installation support or technical guidance. A supplier who understands the machines and the operational risks will help prevent mistakes.

When searching for "Manitowoc crane parts" or "crane parts supplier," focus on vendors who clearly present provenance and technical support. Cheap parts with no documentation may seem like a bargain, but the hidden costs can be significant. The initial savings can quickly turn into downtime, repair costs, and, worst of all, injuries.

Training and Culture: Amplifying the Benefits


Even the best parts won't help if installation and maintenance practices are subpar. A comprehensive safety program includes training to ensure technicians know the torque specs, inspection criteria, and replacement intervals. When a company fosters a culture that values the integrity of parts and the discipline to follow procedures, safety outcomes improve.

Leadership should make it easy to choose genuine parts by establishing clear procurement rules, preferred suppliers, and a straightforward approval process. When technicians don't have to take shortcuts to obtain parts, they are less likely to use questionable alternatives.

Time Pressures and Corner Cutting


Construction schedules are tight, and emergencies happen. These are the moments when the pressure to use off-brand parts is greatest, but they are also when safety is most at risk. A pragmatic approach is to maintain an inventory of critical parts and establish relationships with reliable suppliers who can deliver quickly. Planning for contingencies ensures you won't feel forced to accept unknown components in a crisis.

Conclusion: The Real Cost of Cutting Corners


Parts may seem small, but their impact on safety is enormous. Genuine Manitowoc parts bring engineering precision, traceability, and consistency to every lift. Choosing reputable crane parts suppliers reduces uncertainty and ensures the machine behaves as designed. This is not about brand loyalty; it's about protecting people, schedules, and reputations.

When you weigh the minor savings from non-genuine parts against the potential costs of downtime, lost coverage, or injury, the choice is clear. In the world of lifting, safety starts with the right parts. Use parts that were meant to be there. Your crew will thank you for it.

F-Droid In Trouble as Google Changes the Rules. Again.

In a stunning turn that absolutely no one saw coming, Google makes yet another move to cut off what little freedom Android users have these days. First with undercutting custom ROM developers access to Pixel device information back in July, and now by requiring all developers, even ones that don't want anything to do with Google, to get their apps blessed by Google themselves, leaving little room for F-Droid and other alternative stores on the platform.

Time to pick your Walled Garden.

F-Droid is doomed


AOSP is hanging on by a thread

[Proxmox] fresh install, can't paste into shell

I'm assuming this isn't normal behavior, but copying and pasting commands into shell windows (host, VMs, LXCs, doesn't matter) doesn't work. I've noticed issues with curl too, despite saying it's installed and up-to-date, but one thing at a time...I'm also not convinced that edits made to conf files are persisting as a result. Is this a browser issue? As always, thanks for helping out a normie in need.

Edit: it's taking at least 20min for a simple conf edit to save. I have to assume that's abnormal too, running a i5-13500 by the way...confirmed, not saving conf edits

Bare minimum Linux concepts - an update

Original post for context

Hey it's me, the guy that posted here a couple weeks ago asking for bare minimum concepts new Linux users should understand. I really appreciate the responses I got last time, and now I'm back with my first draft! It's not 100% complete, but I'd love some feedback from the Linux community, let me know if there's anything I missed or that you think should be covered that I didn't yet talk about. It is a bit of a long read, but there's a lot to cover.

This will eventually be published as a permanent article on the site it is currently published on, as well as a video essay in the style of my other videos. I want it to be a resource for people to share with others making the switch and I'd like for it to be relatively future proof for a good while at least. Please let me know if there's anything I should tweak, cover a little more in depth, add or remove, etc. I'd love the input!

I just glanced over it and skipped some parts.

But I like it, and I think its actually what you set out to create.
Its very long though, I imagine if its a video, it will be 40 mins long? Which is too long for someone not quite invested in switching to Linux imo

Maybe make the "why windows sucks" 'why Linux is better" "Linux Options" in 3 distinct parts, so its a few smaller bites of information, always pointing to the next one in the series?

What distro do you install on other's computers?

What distros do you install on your mom's, sister's, buddy's, etc machines?

My go-to has usually been Mint, but I wonder if there is a better set and forget, easily understood distro to install on the computers of those who will rely on you for support.

atomic distros would probably be a good option, but it seems that same disk dual boot is a no no, and that can be a deal breaker.

I'm thinlink QoL, for me, that is.

Mint or Pardus. Mint's interface is very familiar to someone who has used Windows, and most people doesn't find it much different while using it.

Pardus is a country specific choice because some people really need Turkish support to its full extent. Pardus offers direct support lines and host a dedicated forum where people can troubleshoot their issues using Turkish.

Unnecessary rant:
I actually just had to downgrade my 575(?) driver after spending a few days trying to troubleshoot a freezing laptop. One day I walked away when it happen and that actually gave me the logs I needed to find the Nvidia driver was freezing the machine and then spitting logs out after giving up 10 minutes later (but still keeping things frozen). Was driving me nuts, thinking my hard drive was seeing the light, even though all tests for it were passing with flying colors!

I'm hesitant to try this new version since I didn't see anything in the changelog about freeze fixes lol.

Core Web Vitals: The Path to a Faster, More Engaging Website


 Core Web Vitals provide a clear, measurable way to improve your site's performance and user experience. While they are not the only ranking signals, they play a significant role in both search visibility and user conversions.

In the digital age, where user experience is key to success, understanding Core Web Vitals is essential for any website owner. These metrics, introduced by Google, are designed to measure real user experience and directly impact search engine rankings. By focusing on Core Web Vitals, you can enhance user satisfaction, increase engagement, and potentially improve your site's visibility in search results. Let's explore what these metrics are and how you can optimize them.

What Are Core Web Vitals?


Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics that Google considers essential for a good page experience. They focus on three critical areas: loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. These metrics are derived from real user data and provide insights into how users perceive your site's performance. By optimizing these metrics, you can create a more enjoyable and efficient user experience.

The Three Metrics You Need to Know

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)


LCP measures the time it takes for the largest piece of content on your page to become visible. This could be an image, a video, or a block of text. Google recommends that LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of the page loading. A fast LCP ensures that users see meaningful content quickly, reducing frustration and increasing engagement.

Interaction to Next Paint (INP)


INP measures the responsiveness of your site. It tracks the delay between a user's first interaction (such as a click or tap) and the time the browser responds. Google suggests keeping INP below 200 milliseconds. A low INP means your site is responsive and users can interact with it without noticeable delays.

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)


CLS measures the visual stability of your page. It quantifies how much the layout shifts as elements load. Google recommends keeping CLS below 0.1. A stable layout ensures that users can interact with your site without unexpected jumps or shifts, which can be frustrating and lead to misclicks.

Why These Metrics Matter for Your Business


Core Web Vitals are not just technical metrics; they have a direct impact on user behavior and business outcomes. Slow loading times, unresponsive pages, and unstable layouts can lead to higher bounce rates, lower conversions, and increased support tickets. By optimizing these metrics, you can improve user experience, increase engagement, and potentially improve your search engine rankings. A web design agency can help you navigate these optimizations and ensure that your site performs well.

Where to Check These Metrics


Google Search Console is a great starting point for monitoring Core Web Vitals. It provides an overview of your site's performance and flags areas that need improvement. For more detailed analysis, you can use tools like PageSpeed Insights or Lighthouse. These tools offer actionable insights and recommendations for improving your Core Web Vitals. Additionally, the CrUX dataset provides real-user data that can give you a broader context of your site's performance.

Practical Fixes for Improving Core Web Vitals


Improving Core Web Vitals doesn't require a complete site overhaul. Here are some practical steps you can take:

  • Optimize images by compressing them and using modern formats like WebP.
  • Prioritize the loading of critical resources and defer non-essential scripts.
  • Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to distribute content more efficiently.
  • Reduce long-running JavaScript tasks and break them into smaller chunks.
  • Reserve space for images and dynamic content to prevent layout shifts.

A web design agency can help you implement these changes effectively and ensure that your site remains visually appealing while improving performance.

How a Web Design Agency Can Help


If you're not a developer, working with a web design agency can be a game-changer. A good web design agency will conduct thorough audits, prioritize fixes based on impact, and implement changes safely. They will also set up monitoring to catch any regressions early. When hiring an agency, ask for before-and-after metrics and ensure they test on real devices and networks to reflect real-user conditions.

Ongoing Monitoring and Trade-offs


Core Web Vitals are not a one-time task. New content, plugins, or features can impact your scores. Automate monitoring and include these metrics in your release checklist to ensure that new changes do not degrade performance. Sometimes, trade-offs are necessary. For example, an interactive feature might add value but slightly impact performance. In such cases, weigh the business value against user experience and invest in optimizing the feature.

Final Thoughts


Core Web Vitals provide a clear, measurable way to improve your site's performance and user experience. While they are not the only ranking signals, they play a significant role in both search visibility and user conversions. Start by measuring your current performance, prioritize the biggest wins, and work with a web design agency if needed. A fast, stable site is one fewer barrier between a visitor and a happy customer.

Finally switched my fiancee to bazzite, fuck me was it a trial

Look long story short, what i expected to be a short install ended up being a 5 hour manhunt for an issue that resulted in needing a closed source instead of open source nvidia driver. Shes all switched to linux, and if her trial goes well and i don't end up tearing my hair out doing tech support. I may switch over as well, probably a different distro though.

One thing i will say though, even though the state of gaming has drastically improved since my first foray into linux, the "fine details" of gaming have not. Fuck me the first time i looked into the modding scene on linux and how much busywork that took, that just killed a little bit of my soul. Even trying to get her game open, we first had a xbox game controller bluetooth not connecting issue, my bandaid was to do a wired connection, and sitting here just now i hear a laugh and look back and see this in her game. What i can only imagine is some sort of video player error, but the game works. Its rough, but it works.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes, thats for sure

Which Concrete Pump Reigns Supreme for Low-Rise Buildings: Stationary or Portable?


 副標題，或摘要

Let's cut through the noise and the tired old sales pitches. The debate over concrete line pumps for low-rise buildings—those projects under five stories like subdivisions, strip malls, and warehouses—is plagued by outdated thinking. There's a stubborn contingent that still pushes the stationary pump as the "serious" choice, the "heavy-duty" option. That's a fantasy. For the overwhelming majority of low-rise construction, the portable concrete pump isn't just a good alternative; it's the only logical one. The stationary pump, with its cumbersome setup and geographic inertia, is a relic that actively sabotages the efficiency, speed, and profitability that define successful modern operations. This isn't a matter of preference; it's a matter of basic arithmetic and operational intelligence.

The Portable Pump: Unrivaled Agility for the Modern Jobsite


The premier advantage of the portable pump is its radical agility. This machine arrives on a trailer and is pumping concrete within an hour. It doesn't need a dedicated, pre-planned foundation or a massive footprint. It can be positioned for optimal reach, moved around obstacles, and redeployed in an afternoon. This mobility grants what can only be called <strong>operational sovereignty</strong>. You are no longer a slave to the location of a fixed machine. You dictate the flow of the pour based on what makes sense for the crew and the structure, not based on the limitations of your pump's piping. This single feature dismantles the entire argument for stationary pumps in a multi-site, fast-paced low-rise environment. The financial impact is profound. You eliminate the immense labor cost of laying hundreds of feet of pipeline and the subsequent cleanup. You eliminate the damage to site access and landscaping from that pipeline. The portable concrete pump's boom does the work of a small army, compressing timelines and slashing the indirect costs that silently strangle project budgets.

The Stationary Pump's Last Stand: A Niche of Its Own Making


Proponents of stationary pumps will stammer about raw output and high-volume pours. This is a niche argument masquerading as a universal truth. Sure, if you're pouring a continuous, monolithic foundation for a nuclear power plant in one single, uninterrupted go, a massive stationary pump might have its place. For a low-rise building? It's engineering overkill. The supposed benefit of higher volume is completely negated by the sheer logistical drag of the setup. By the time a crew has finished wrestling with and securing a small mountain of pipe, the portable pump has already finished its first pour and is prepping for the next. The stationary pump for concrete creates a rigid, inflexible workflow. Any change in the pour sequence becomes a logistical nightmare. It anchors your entire operation to one spot, creating a bottleneck for other trades and site activities. In a sector defined by adaptability, the stationary pump is a concrete-covered boat anchor, an anachronism that prioritizes brute force over intelligent design.

The Undisputed Verdict for Low-Rise Dominance


When you run the real numbers, the competition isn't even close. The total cost of ownership for a portable pump is categorically lower. Its versatility allows it to generate revenue across multiple projects in the time a stationary unit is still being set up on one. The residual value of a mobile asset is always higher than that of a fixed, single-purpose one. Investing in a portable pump is an act of future-proofing your business. It equips you to handle the diverse, scattered, and fast-turnkey projects that constitute the bread and butter of the low-rise market. It provides a tactical advantage in bidding and project management that a stationary pump can never offer. The conversation should no longer be about which pump to choose. For intelligent, profit-driven low-rise construction, the portable concrete pump has already won the war. The stationary pump is a dinosaur, and the meteor of efficiency has already hit.

Here you can suggest texts for the reading group. They should ideally be reasonably short, but larger ones (not Capital, there's already a reading group for that on Hexbear) can be divided across several weeks.

Comments that suggest texts that fit these criteria will be selected based on upvotes. You can participate from any instance that's federated with Lemmygrad.

Some suggestions from the previous thread will be used for future sessions.

Lety Does Reacting to “One Piece” Episodes 1139 & 1140

The Buster Call is imminent, and in one last desperate attempt to save his beloved Egghead, Vegapunk turns to begging Kizaru to help. To which Borsalino does nothing because he is spineless and not ready for a redemption arc, I guess. Nevertheless, my disappointment is immeasurable.

Discord issues with electron: theevilskeleton.gitlab.io/2022…

OMGUbuntu list of electron apps: omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/02/best-e…

So, what IS electron, exactly?

electron is a framework that lets developers create applications using web technologies, like javascript, HTML or CSS. It's open source, and it's cross platform, meaning that apps built with electron run on Windows, Mac and Linux.
ectly inside of the app, instead of being accessed on the internet.

So why do developers go the electron route?

Developing apps using native technologies on all platforms takes a long time, a different set of skills and knowledge for each platform, and so you need more developers, more time, and more money.

Electron lets you develop ONCE.

Second reason: debugging code for web technologies like javascript is pretty easy compared to lower level languages like C, C++, or objective C. Javascript is interpreted line by line, so noticing where the error is is way easier.

Another reason is that electron apps can auto update very easily: all you have to do is make sure that your electron app can detect when the code for your website has changed, and download the new files on your computer, a quick reload of the page, and you're up to date.

But, electron has a bunch of issues as well.

First, electron doesn't integrate really well with the operating system: it's just a web browser displaying a website that is stored on your computer instead of being stored on a server. This means that if electron doesn't support a specific feature of your operating system, the apps using it also won't.

A bigger problem, though, is the fact that developers often don't update the electron base, or not often enough. Electron, using CHromium, needs to be as up to date as any web browser you'd use everyday, to ensure that security flaws are patched.

That's often not the case. And it gets worse when you take into consideration operating system integration. An example is Discord on Linux. It uses an older version of electron, that doesn't support Wayland very well. electron does have wayland support, and good support at that, but Discord, by not updating the electron version they use, deprive users of that support.

And then there's the performance and resource usage. Since electron apps ship basically the whole of chromium's codebase, they aren't small. Discord, for example, once installed, weighs more than 700 MB. Almost a gigabyte. Even the most basic of Hello World applications would take about 100MB, just to display a line of text.

And there's the performance impact: chromium isn't a lighweight browser at all. Discord, again, on my system, with all its processes, uses about 480 MB. And that RAM usage is the same whether the app is minimized to the tray or fully open. GIMP, when opening a new blank document, uses 500MB.

And still, specifically for us Linux users, electron means we get applications on Linux that we wouldn't have had otherwise.

Advanced Off-Gas Treatment in Plastic Pyrolysis System

Advanced Off-Gas Treatment in Plastic Pyrolysis Systems


The management of off-gas emissions in plastic pyrolysis operations has become a critical focus area for sustainable waste-to-energy processes. As global environmental standards tighten, pyrolysis plant operators must integrate sophisticated gas purification systems to ensure compliance and maintain operational efficiency. The optimization of off-gas treatment not only mitigates environmental impact but also enhances energy recovery from the process.

Nature and Composition of Pyrolysis Off-Gas


During thermal decomposition of plastic waste, a significant fraction of volatile compounds is released. These gases consist of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, sulfur compounds, and trace elements of chlorine and particulate matter. The composition varies according to feedstock type, temperature, and reactor design. While a portion of this gas possesses high calorific value suitable for energy reuse, the remaining fraction contains pollutants that require effective neutralization before release.

Unprocessed off-gas can pose challenges such as odor emissions, soot formation, and secondary pollution. Therefore, a multi-stage treatment system is implemented to capture, refine, and utilize the gas safely.

Primary Gas Cleaning Stages


The first stage of gas treatment involves separation of solid impurities. Cyclone separators and filters remove entrained carbon particles and condensed tar vapors. This preliminary step prevents fouling in subsequent units and maintains stable pressure within the plastic into fuel machine.

Following particulate removal, the gas is directed through a series of condensers where heavy hydrocarbons are liquefied and recovered as pyrolysis oil. This step not only reduces contaminant load but also contributes to material valorization by recovering usable fuel fractions.

For gas containing high chlorine content—particularly from PVC feedstock—dechlorination units are employed. Alkali scrubbers or catalytic neutralizers convert hydrogen chloride into inert salts, preventing corrosion and ensuring that downstream components maintain long service life.

Secondary Treatment and Emission Control


The secondary phase focuses on chemical purification. Wet scrubbers and packed towers introduce neutralizing agents such as caustic soda or activated carbon to capture acidic and volatile organic compounds. In advanced systems, catalytic oxidation units are integrated to break down remaining hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water vapor at elevated temperatures.

Activated carbon adsorption beds are often installed as a final polishing stage. These units effectively capture trace organics and residual odor molecules, ensuring that the final exhaust meets stringent emission limits.

Some plastic pyrolysis machine configurations incorporate regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) to completely combust non-condensable gases. The recovered heat from this process is redirected into the reactor or used for preheating feedstock, improving the overall thermal efficiency of the operation.

Energy Recovery from Treated Gas


Instead of complete incineration, many facilities channel purified non-condensable gas back into the system as an auxiliary fuel. This self-sustaining loop reduces dependency on external energy sources and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions. The calorific value of this off-gas—often exceeding 30 MJ/m³—makes it suitable for maintaining reactor temperature and powering ancillary equipment.

Through controlled combustion and efficient heat exchange, the recovered energy supports continuous pyrolysis without compromising environmental standards.

Compliance, Monitoring, and Technological Progress


Regulatory frameworks across Europe and Asia now mandate emission monitoring systems for all pyrolysis installations. Continuous emission monitoring equipment (CEMS) tracks parameters such as SO₂, NOx, CO, and particulate concentration in real time. This data-driven approach enables operators to optimize scrubbing efficiency and document regulatory compliance.

Recent technological advancements have further refined off-gas treatment. Innovations include plasma-assisted oxidation, ceramic filtration, and modular dry-scrubbing systems capable of operating with minimal maintenance. These developments enhance the economic and environmental performance of plastic pyrolysis facilities.

Toward Closed-Loop and Low-Emission Pyrolysis


Effective off-gas treatment transforms the pyrolysis process into a near-zero-emission technology. By integrating mechanical filtration, chemical absorption, and catalytic oxidation, operators achieve cleaner air discharge and improved energy yield. As pyrolysis plant systems evolve, the focus increasingly shifts toward circular resource recovery—where even the waste gases are converted into usable energy streams.

This combination of engineering precision and environmental responsibility positions advanced gas treatment as a cornerstone of modern pyrolysis operations, enabling the sustainable transformation of plastic waste into valuable products and clean energy.

Navigating the Compliance Landscape for Startups


 Compliance does not have to be a daunting and overwhelming task for startups. By starting with the essentials, automating routine tasks, outsourcing when appropriate, and providing targeted training to your team, you can manage compliance effectively with

Starting a new business is an exciting and challenging journey. While founders are often preoccupied with product development, customer acquisition, and fundraising, compliance can sometimes be overlooked. However, compliance is a critical aspect of running a business that, when managed effectively, can support rather than hinder your startup’s growth.

Identify Your Immediate Compliance Needs


In the early stages of a startup, it’s not necessary to have a full legal department. Instead, focus on identifying the key compliance obligations that are relevant to your business at this point. This includes essential tasks such as company registration, understanding directors’ duties, maintaining shareholder records, managing basic contracts, handling payroll and taxes, and obtaining any necessary industry-specific licenses or permits. Avoid overcomplicating things by focusing on the compliance items that could have immediate financial or legal consequences.

Develop Routine Compliance Processes


Making compliance a routine part of your operations can significantly simplify the process. Establish a schedule for recurring compliance tasks and stick to it. For example:
- Monthly: payroll processing and VAT/GST accounting checkpoints.
- Quarterly: reviewing board minutes and statutory filings.
- Annually: preparing financial statements and filing annual returns.

Convert these tasks into simple checklists to reduce decision fatigue and facilitate delegation. Document each step in plain language so that any team member can follow it.

Select the Right Tools Wisely


While there are numerous tools available to assist with compliance, it’s crucial not to overdo it. Basic accounting software, a secure cloud storage solution for corporate documents, and a calendar with reminders can cover a significant portion of your compliance needs. Automate routine tasks such as bill payments and statutory reminders to save time and reduce errors. However, avoid using too many different tools, as this can create additional complexity. Instead, choose tools that integrate well with each other and align with your existing workflows.

Outsource When It Makes Sense


You don’t need to be an expert in every aspect of compliance. In fact, outsourcing certain tasks can be a smart move, especially when it comes to tasks that require specialized knowledge or precision. Corporate secretarial services can be particularly valuable. A reputable provider can handle company filings, maintain statutory registers, prepare board minutes, and issue share certificates. This allows founders to focus on running and growing the business.

If your startup is based in or expanding to Asia, consider looking into secretarial services Singapore. The market there is well-developed, and many providers have experience dealing with cross-border compliance needs. When choosing a vendor, test them with a small project first, check their turnaround times, and ensure that they can work seamlessly with your chosen tools and processes.

Integrate Compliance into Product Development


Compliance should not be an afterthought but rather integrated into the product development process. If a new feature involves handling payments, personal data, or exports, it should be flagged for legal review early in the development process. Create a short intake form that developers can fill out before launching any sensitive work. This approach helps to ensure that legal issues are addressed early on, rather than becoming a last-minute crisis that disrupts the product launch.

Maintain Effective Governance


While board meetings and formal minutes may seem like a formality, they are an important part of corporate governance. However, you don’t need to hold lengthy, elaborate board meetings every month. Instead, have short, focused sessions that cover key topics such as strategy, major risks, and decisions that require board approval. Ensure that precise minutes are kept and stored securely. These records can provide valuable protection for the company and its directors if any questions or disputes arise in the future.

Provide Targeted Compliance Training


Compliance training does not have to be a lengthy, arduous process. Instead of holding full-day bootcamps, run short, practical sessions that cover relevant topics for different team members. For example, engineers might need training on data handling, sales staff might benefit from learning about contract basics, and everyone should be aware of expense rules.

Use real-life examples from your business to make the training more relatable and effective. Regular, short refreshers are more beneficial than infrequent, lengthy training sessions. Additionally, make it easy for staff to ask quick questions about compliance, such as through a dedicated Slack channel or by setting up rotating office hours with the person responsible for compliance.

Implement Proportionate Risk Controls


Not all compliance risks are created equal. It is important to implement controls that are proportionate to the severity of the risk. For high-risk areas, such as customer data breaches, implement strong access controls, encryption, and regular audits. For medium-risk areas, like contract errors, use templates that have been reviewed by legal counsel and establish clear approval thresholds. For low-risk areas, such as office supplies, a simple expense policy may suffice. This approach ensures that high-cost defenses are focused on the most critical areas, without burdening the entire company with unnecessary processes.

Standardize Contracts and Approval Processes


Using template agreements for common contracts such as NDAs, contractor engagements, and vendor agreements can help streamline the process and reduce the risk of legal disputes. Designate a specific person, or even an external lawyer, to approve any deviations from the standard templates. Additionally, establish clear approval levels for different types of contracts, specifying who can sign contracts under a certain amount and who is required to approve contracts above that amount. This helps to ensure that contracts are reviewed and approved appropriately, while keeping the sales process moving smoothly.

Focus on Accurate, Timely Financial Record-Keeping


Many founders get bogged down by the desire for perfect financial records. However, it is more important to aim for accuracy and timeliness rather than perfection. Reconcile accounts on a monthly basis and ensure that payroll is handled correctly. If necessary, consider hiring a part-time bookkeeper or outsourcing bookkeeping until you are ready to bring it in-house. Having clean, up-to-date financial records can make tax filings and fundraising much less stressful.

Stay Informed About Regulatory Changes


Regulations and laws are not static; they change over time. It is important to have a process in place to stay informed about changes that could impact your business. This could involve subscribing to regulatory update emails, following industry associations, or asking your corporate secretarial services provider to keep you informed about important changes. Focus on changes that have a material impact on your product, customers, or cash flow, rather than trying to keep up with every minor change.

Prepare for Audits and Investor Due Diligence


When it comes to audits and investor scrutiny, being organized and prepared can save a lot of time and effort. Investors and auditors will typically request a set of standard documents, such as signed statutes, shareholder registers, board minutes, and financial statements. Keep these documents well-organized and easily accessible, using a simple folder structure and clear naming conventions. If you are planning to raise funds, prepare a data room checklist well in advance to ensure that you are ready when the time comes.

Hire the Right People for Compliance Roles


As your startup grows, you will likely need to bring someone in-house to manage governance and compliance. When hiring for these roles, focus on finding individuals with the right mindset, not just those with extensive experience. You want someone who can translate complex rules into practical, business-friendly processes and who can work collaboratively with the product and operations teams, rather than being seen as an obstacle.

Maintain a Healthy Work Environment


Burnout is a common issue in startups, and it can often be exacerbated by vague responsibilities and unclear expectations. To avoid this, make compliance roles and responsibilities explicit and well-defined. Use short playbooks and clear escalation paths to ensure that team members know who to turn to for guidance. Celebrate small victories, such as a successful audit, timely compliance filings, or a positive third-party review. Recognizing these achievements can boost morale and demonstrate that compliance is a valuable part of the company’s growth, rather than a burden.

Conclusion


Compliance does not have to be a daunting and overwhelming task for startups. By starting with the essentials, automating routine tasks, outsourcing when appropriate, and providing targeted training to your team, you can manage compliance effectively without it becoming a drain on your resources.

With the right approach, including the strategic use of corporate secretarial services or secretarial services Singapore, startups can remain compliant and focused on their core business activities. By keeping compliance processes light, useful, and predictable, you can protect your company while also supporting the well-being of your team.

Sustainable Material Selection and Application in Modern Amusement Design

The pursuit of environmental responsibility has transformed the design and manufacturing processes across multiple industries, and the amusement sector is no exception. As sustainability becomes both a moral imperative and a market expectation, the careful selection and utilization of energy-saving and eco-friendly materials now define the next generation of park attractions. From structural framing to decorative finishes, material choice impacts energy efficiency, lifecycle cost, and ecological footprint. This comprehensive approach ensures that entertainment does not come at the expense of environmental well-being.

The Shift Toward Sustainable Engineering


The global amusement industry is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact. Traditional materials—heavy metals, synthetic polymers, and high-emission coatings—are being replaced by renewable, recyclable, and low-carbon alternatives. Energy-efficient design begins with the selection of materials that reduce energy consumption during manufacturing and operation.

Producers offering park rides for sale have begun to embed sustainability into their product lifecycle. Aluminum alloys, for example, are replacing steel in specific components due to their lower density and recyclability. Recycled plastics are being reformulated into durable panels that resist UV degradation and moisture infiltration. These innovations extend operational longevity while minimizing maintenance demand, resulting in a lower total environmental cost.
park rides for sale
This paradigm shift is not purely ethical—it is strategic. Eco-conscious consumers are more likely to support facilities that demonstrate environmental stewardship, and operators benefit from reduced utility expenses and easier compliance with international sustainability certifications.

Criteria for Eco-Friendly Material Selection


The selection of sustainable materials must adhere to a systematic set of evaluation criteria: energy efficiency, recyclability, safety, and local availability.

  1. Energy Efficiency: Materials should contribute to the overall energy conservation of the attraction. For instance, lightweight composites reduce the energy required for mechanical motion in dynamic rides.
  2. Recyclability and Reuse: End-of-life strategies are integral. A fully recyclable structure minimizes waste and aligns with circular economy principles.
  3. Non-Toxic Composition: Paints, adhesives, and coatings must be low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to maintain healthy air quality for both visitors and staff.
  4. Durability and Maintenance: Longevity reduces replacement frequency, thereby conserving material and transportation resources over time.
  5. Local Sourcing: Using regionally available materials diminishes transportation-related emissions and supports local industries.

These criteria collectively ensure that sustainability is embedded not only in design philosophy but in practical, measurable outcomes.

Application in Ride Construction


Eco-friendly materials play distinct roles across various amusement structures. For large outdoor installations, corrosion resistance and thermal stability are paramount. In contrast, indoor attractions prioritize sound absorption, safety padding, and low-emission finishes.

A mini roller coaster for sale, for example, illustrates the integration of sustainable material principles at multiple stages. The track system might employ galvanized steel coated with environmentally friendly powder finishes that eliminate solvent-based emissions. The ride cars could incorporate high-density polyethylene derived from recycled sources—lightweight yet durable enough to endure extensive daily use. Energy-efficient motors and braking systems complement the material choice, creating a unified model of resource conservation.
mini roller coaster
Similarly, for family-oriented attractions or interactive zones, manufacturers utilize biodegradable or low-impact polymers for cushioning and decorative elements. These materials are both safe for users and compatible with post-use recycling systems.

Energy-Efficient Manufacturing Practices


The environmental impact of materials extends beyond their composition to the processes used in their creation. Advanced fabrication techniques, including digital prototyping and precision molding, minimize waste by optimizing cut patterns and reducing surplus material.

In the production of park rides for sale, manufacturers increasingly adopt closed-loop systems that recycle coolant fluids, capture particulate emissions, and reuse thermal energy generated during metal treatment. Powder coating, an eco-efficient finishing method, has replaced solvent-based paint in many facilities, offering superior adhesion with minimal environmental release.

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) further enhances sustainability by producing complex components on demand, significantly reducing the need for storage and transport. As a result, the overall carbon footprint of production is reduced, aligning manufacturing with global sustainability benchmarks.

The Role of Renewable Energy and Smart Systems


Material sustainability aligns closely with operational efficiency. Energy-saving designs supported by renewable energy sources further advance the eco-friendly agenda. Solar-integrated lighting systems, regenerative braking, and smart power management networks contribute to reducing the overall energy intensity of amusement operations.

A compact mini roller coaster for sale, when equipped with regenerative braking technology, can capture kinetic energy during deceleration and reuse it for auxiliary functions such as lighting or sound systems. Such integration showcases how engineering and materials science intersect to create circular, efficient ecosystems.

Even passive strategies, such as thermal insulation in indoor facilities or reflective coating on outdoor structures, help regulate temperature naturally. This minimizes the need for artificial heating or cooling, reducing both operational costs and emissions.

Lifecycle Management and Recycling Strategies


A key principle of sustainable development is designing for disassembly. Each material should be easy to separate, recycle, or repurpose at the end of its service life. This concept encourages modular construction, where components can be individually replaced without dismantling entire systems.

Manufacturers offering park rides for sale are now required to provide detailed end-of-life documentation, outlining recycling methods and disposal recommendations. By prioritizing recyclable metals, biodegradable polymers, and non-toxic finishes, they extend product value beyond its operational phase.

Moreover, incorporating traceability systems—such as material passports or digital identification tags—enables precise tracking of material sources and recycling compatibility. This transparency ensures that sustainability claims are verifiable and credible.

Balancing Cost, Performance, and Environmental Value


While sustainable materials may initially present higher procurement costs, the long-term return on investment is substantial. Reduced maintenance requirements, extended service life, and energy savings offset the initial expenditure. For operators evaluating amusement park equipment prices, this perspective is essential. The true value of sustainability lies not in short-term affordability but in operational resilience and regulatory readiness.

Public perception further amplifies the value of eco-conscious design. Parks that adopt visible sustainability measures—such as signage highlighting recycled materials or energy-saving systems—enhance brand reputation and appeal to environmentally aware visitors. This psychological value often translates into increased visitor loyalty and long-term profitability.

Future Innovations in Sustainable Materials


The future of sustainable amusement design lies in continuous material innovation. Emerging technologies are exploring bio-based composites, self-healing polymers, and smart coatings that adapt to environmental conditions. Materials infused with nanotechnology can resist corrosion, repel dirt, and even regulate temperature dynamically.

Manufacturers developing mini roller coaster for sale models or large-scale attractions are beginning to collaborate with material scientists to integrate these advancements. The result is a new generation of rides that are lighter, stronger, and more efficient, all while maintaining minimal ecological impact.

In addition, data-driven design powered by artificial intelligence enables predictive analysis of wear and degradation. This foresight allows operators to schedule maintenance precisely, reducing unnecessary replacements and conserving resources.

Conclusion


The integration of energy-saving and eco-friendly materials represents a decisive evolution in the amusement industry’s approach to sustainability. From the design table to decommissioning, every stage of the lifecycle influences environmental performance. Whether selecting composites for a mini roller coaster for sale or optimizing the structural integrity of large park rides for sale, sustainable material strategies embody the fusion of innovation, responsibility, and long-term value.

As environmental standards tighten and public expectations rise, embracing sustainable materials is not merely an option—it is an obligation. Through deliberate selection, responsible manufacturing, and continuous improvement, the amusement industry can create experiences that inspire joy while preserving the planet for generations to come.

Asphalt Plant Capacity Optimization And Regional Layout In Latin American Road Construction

The rapid expansion of road and bridge construction across Latin America is driving unprecedented demand for high-performance asphalt plants. Governments and private contractors are accelerating infrastructure programs, supported by large-scale investments, PPP frameworks, and EPC contracts. In this context, optimizing the capacity and regional layout of asphalt production facilities has become a decisive factor in ensuring project efficiency, cost control, and timely delivery.

The Strategic Role Of Asphalt Plants In Road Construction


Asphalt plants are the backbone of road construction projects, directly influencing production schedules and paving quality. In Latin America, the combination of long transport distances, diverse climates, and challenging terrain makes asphalt production planning a complex but critical task. A well-placed and properly sized asphalt plant(planta asfáltica) ensures continuous supply of high-quality mix while minimizing logistics costs and thermal loss during transport.

Stationary Vs Mobile Solutions


Contractors often face the choice between stationary facilities for long-term projects and mobile plants for flexible deployment. Stationary plants typically yield lower per-ton production costs at higher capacities, while mobile units reduce haul time and are faster to commission on remote or multiple sites. For many regional programs, a hybrid approach—combining a few high-capacity stationary plants with mobile backup units—balances cost efficiency and operational agility.

Capacity Optimization Based On Project Scale And Duration


Choosing the right production capacity is key to balancing capital expenditure and operational efficiency. For large EPC projects lasting multiple years, high-capacity stationary plants (for example, 120–240 t/h) often make economic sense. For shorter or geographically dispersed projects, mid-range stationary plants or asphalt plant for sale(planta de asfalto en venta) options in the 60–120 t/h range and mobile plants can provide quicker ROI and lower initial outlay.

Practical Factors To Evaluate


  • Daily Asphalt Demand: Calculate expected paving progress, layer thickness, and contingency for weather days.
  • Material Logistics: Consider distances between quarries, bitumen supply points, and paving sites—long hauls erode thermal quality and increase cost.
  • Energy And Maintenance Costs: Larger plants often run more efficiently per ton but require stable power and skilled maintenance teams.
  • Flexibility: Ability to switch mix designs, incorporate warm-mix or recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), and scale production according to project phases.

For contractors planning corridor upgrades across multiple provinces, a modular plant sold as part of the equipment package can be a better match than oversized stationary capacity. When reviewing offers, compare not only the mobile asphalt plant price or purchase price but also delivery lead time, spare parts availability, and service coverage in the target country.

Regional Layout Strategies To Maximize Efficiency


Latin America’s geographic diversity—coastal plains, Andean highlands, Amazon basin—requires tailored layout strategies. A regionalized network of mid-capacity plants positioned along major transport corridors reduces haul distances, shortens paving windows, and improves temperature control of the mix at laydown.

Site Selection Principles


  • Proximity To Aggregate Sources: Locate plants near quarries or crushing stations to minimize raw material transport and fuel consumption.
  • Balanced Distribution: Coordinate production among plants to avoid surplus in one region and shortages in another—use simple forecasting models tied to project schedules.
  • Environmental And Social Compliance: Respect local emission limits, noise restrictions, and community access needs; modern plants with dust collectors and closed silos ease permitting.
  • Shared Use Models: In PPP projects, consider shared asphalt hubs that supply multiple contractors or government programs to improve asset utilization.


Technology And Process Upgrades For Better Output


Technological upgrades can improve quality control and reduce operating cost. Digital batching control systems maintain precise mix proportions and record production data for traceability. Temperature control and insulated transport systems reduce thermal segregation risk—critical when paving over long distances or in hot/cold extremes.

Environmental And Efficiency Innovations


Recent plant designs emphasize fuel-efficient burners, waste-heat recovery, and dust reclamation. Many modern units can incorporate higher percentages of RAP and use warm-mix technologies to reduce binder use and emissions—features that increasingly factor into procurement decisions and compliance with environmental standards across Latin American markets.

Cost Considerations And Return On Investment


Price is a primary consideration, but a lifecycle view provides better decision-making. Evaluate the mobile asphalt plant price(planta de asfalto movil precio) or stationary plant cost alongside operating expenses: fuel, bitumen volatility, maintenance downtime, and local labor skills. Total cost of ownership often favors slightly higher upfront investment in more reliable and automated plants, especially for long-term programs.

Supplier And After-Sales Factors


Local supplier presence, spare parts logistics, and rapid technical support reduce downtime. When considering an asphalt plant for sale, request case studies or references of similar installations in the region to assess real-world performance under comparable climatic and logistical conditions.

Conclusion


As Latin America accelerates its road and bridge construction agenda, smart planning of asphalt plant capacity and regional layout becomes a competitive advantage. Contractors and investors who align plant selection—stationary, mobile, or hybrid—with project timelines, logistics realities, and environmental constraints will achieve better cost control, faster schedules, and higher paving quality.

Whether evaluating an asphalt plant for sale or comparing a mobile asphalt plant price, focus on lifecycle costs, operational flexibility, and supplier support. These are the practical levers that turn an equipment purchase into a successful long-term infrastructure delivery strategy across Latin America.

Can I boot any distro from a secure-boot-mandated laptop?

I got an old HP laptop for a good price. (HP ProBook 650 G4.) It was cheap because it's BIOS locked and requires secure boot. (I believe this is the same as "HP Sure Start".)

Game over, right? Not quite. It still boots secure boot enabled Linuxes. I've installed Fedora with no problems. But I would like the ability to install any modern Linux OS.

To be clear, I have no security concerns subverting secure boot. I only have it on because my BIOS is locked.

There are a few methods that are too hard/expensive:

  1. creating my own exploit by referencing the patch notes of later firmwares (theoretically possible)
  2. dumping the BIOS myself and getting the BIOS password that way (it's been done on this model)
  3. Figuring out the undocumented backdoor HP used until around 2018 to reset BIOS passwords. (It's unclear if the backdoor is patched, or just no longer being used.)

I almost got what I want. I booted Ventoy via USB, and the laptop prompted me to enroll the Ventoy key in the secure boot system. I can boot any ISO I want from Ventoy. I can also boot Ventoy, and do LocalBoot (F4) via Ventoy into an unsigned locally installed OS. I booted Arch this way.

I just installed Mint Cinnamon and it prompted me during install for "3rd party drivers" as well as "enable secure boot". It required an 8 character password (mint requirement or UEFI requirement?) which was required in UEFI on reboot (one time). Then I enrolled the key in secure boot and now I can boot straight into Mint. The install prompt was:

Installing third-party drivers requires configuring Secure boot. To do this, you need to choose a security key now, and enter it when the system restarts (Learn more)

You have chosen to enable third-party software as part of your install, which this system includes hardware drivers for graphics and/or Wi-Fi hardware. Your system also has UEFI Secure Boot enabled. UEFI Secure boot needs to be configured to allow the use of this third-party drivers.


According to Reddit:

  • No, third-party drivers do not _need_ Secure boot
  • No, the installation wizard also doesn't say you need Secure boot for those drivers, it is warning you that you have secure boot enabled, thus special considerations will be necessary

What's the easiest way to get insecure-boot-like behavior on this device? I was thinking I need to get rEFInd on here so it can search for any relevant OS. I also am not clear on how to install OSs properly in this environment (OSs want to change/configure the bootloader themselves). I'm hoping to install to an NVMe drive, but SATA, USB, and network boot (ha) are options too.

Alternatively, how can I do what Mint did on the install on other Linuxes?

I have a basic understanding of the secure boot "shim" and the cryptography in secure boot, but definitely no practical knowledge.

(I prefer to say BIOS over "UEFI" despite being technically incorrect.)

edit: Still don't know what I'm doing, but Fedora (and thus Bazzite) supported secure boot. I just ran the Bazzite installer, rebooted when prompted, and entered secureblue as the key password. docs.bazzite.gg/General/Instal…


Nvidia drivers weird behaviour. (And other technical hiccups)

So, after tinkering with my first boot attempt, I realised Ive got some stuff wrong, missed a couple of Mok enrolls, etc. So I decided, since I...

Do you have any more info? I see there's an exploit called "boothole" as well as several Windows bootloaders that are vulnerable. eclypsium.com/blog/boothole-ho…

It looks like the simplest method is to use rEFInd + shim or PreLoader—see The rEFInd Boot Manager: Managing Secure Boot.

If you need a last-ditch option or want to get your hands dirty, the Gentoo wiki has recipes for enrolling new EFI keys by hand. This is a rather tedious procedure, but should work for any distro that comes with efitools, sbsigntools (for signing the kernel and modules, if not already signed), and openssl (for key generation).

Outdoor Ceramic Tiles: What You Need to Know Before You Buy


 The wrong choice can lead to costly mistakes like cracks and slips. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a comprehensive guide on what to consider before heading to your local tile shop or browsing online.

Transforming your outdoor living space with ceramic tiles can significantly enhance its aesthetics and functionality. Whether you’re planning to revamp your patio, porch, or pool deck, ceramic tiles offer a wide range of styles and durability. However, selecting the right tiles for outdoor use requires careful consideration. The wrong choice can lead to costly mistakes like cracks and slips. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a comprehensive guide on what to consider before heading to your local tile shop or browsing online.

It All Starts with Durability: The PEI Rating


When choosing tiles for outdoor use, durability is a key factor. Unlike indoor tiles, which can be more delicate, outdoor tiles need to withstand the elements. The PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute) rating is a crucial factor to consider. This rating classifies a tile’s resistance to wear. For outdoor residential areas, such as patios and walkways, opt for tiles with a PEI rating of at least IV or V. These tiles are designed for heavy traffic and can handle the demands of outdoor living.

Tiles with lower PEI ratings (I, II, or III) are more prone to chips and scratches and are better suited for indoor walls or low-traffic areas. When visiting your tile shop, be sure to ask about the PEI rating of the tiles you’re interested in.

The Critical Factor: Porcelain vs. Non-Porcelain Ceramic


The distinction between porcelain and non-porcelain ceramic tiles is essential. Porcelain tiles are the gold standard for outdoor use. Made from fine clay and fired at high temperatures, they are incredibly dense and nearly non-porous. This makes them highly resistant to frost and staining, which is crucial for outdoor installations.

Non-porcelain ceramic tiles, on the other hand, are more porous and less dense. They are not ideal for outdoor use, especially in climates with freeze-thaw cycles. Water can seep into these tiles and cause them to crack when it freezes. Always specify your needs at the tile shop to ensure you get the right type of tile for your outdoor project.

Don't Slip Up: Checking for Slip Resistance


Safety is a top priority when it comes to outdoor tiles. Wet conditions from rain, sprinklers, or pool water can make tiles slippery. To avoid accidents, check the tile’s coefficient of friction (COF). For outdoor areas, a COF rating of 0.60 or higher is recommended. For slopes or pool decks, an even higher rating is advisable.

When examining tiles, consider the surface texture. Textured, matte, or lightly riven finishes provide better grip compared to high-gloss, smooth finishes. A good tile shop will have samples available for you to test and can offer advice on which tiles are best suited for wet, outdoor conditions.

Size and Thickness Matter


While large format tiles can create a seamless look, they can be challenging to install on uneven outdoor surfaces and are more prone to cracking if the ground shifts. For outdoor porcelain pavers, a thickness of at least ¾ of an inch (or 20mm) is recommended. This thickness ensures the tiles can handle the load and resist cracking. Always check the specifications at the tile shop to ensure you get the right thickness for your project.

The Aesthetics: Color and Finish


Choosing the right color and finish for your outdoor tiles can enhance both functionality and aesthetics. Lighter colored tiles absorb less heat, making them more comfortable to walk on during sunny days. However, they may show dirt more easily. Neutral tones like grey, beige, and taupe are popular choices as they blend well with garden landscapes and hide dirt effectively.

For the finish, opt for matte, textured, or natural stone-look options. These finishes provide better slip resistance and a more natural aesthetic. Glossy finishes should generally be avoided for outdoor use.

The Installation is Everything


Even the best tiles can fail if installed poorly. Outdoor tile installation requires a stable, properly sloped, and well-drained substrate, typically a concrete slab. The slope is crucial to ensure water drains away from your house and doesn’t pool on the surface.

Using the right adhesive and grout is essential. High-quality, flexible, weatherproof thin-set mortar and polymer-modified, sanded grout are necessary for outdoor installations. Avoid using indoor grout outdoors. Hiring an experienced professional with a proven track record in exterior tile installations is highly recommended. They will ensure your tiles are installed correctly and last for years.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care


One of the benefits of outdoor porcelain tiles is their low maintenance. Their dense surface resists dirt, moss, and staining. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent are usually sufficient. Applying a penetrating sealer designed for outdoor porcelain can provide additional protection against stains and make cleaning easier. Check with your tile shop for recommended sealing products.

Finding the Right Tile Shop


Choosing a reputable tile shop is crucial for the success of your project. A good supplier will have knowledgeable staff who can provide specific advice on the technical aspects of the tiles. Don’t hesitate to ask for technical data sheets, which will give you detailed information on the tile’s PEI rating, water absorption, slip resistance, and breaking strength. A reliable tile shop in Singapore will have this information readily available, especially for their premium tiles.

The Bottom Line


Outdoor ceramic tiles, particularly porcelain, can transform your exterior space into a durable and beautiful extension of your home. Focus on high durability (PEI rating of IV or V), low porosity (frost-proof porcelain), safe surface (textured, slip-resistant finish), and professional installation. By doing your homework and choosing your materials wisely, you can enjoy a beautiful, functional, and low-maintenance outdoor space for years to come.

SOLUTION

  • Uninstall your current nvidia driver (for example using sudo apt remove nvidia-driver on Debian)
  • Install the headers for your kernel. your kernel you can check rather easily by running neofetch
  • Install the headers required for your kernel. Do that by listing all packages with your kernel name in it. For example like this: apt list *6.9.7+bpo*
  • reboot, install your nvidia driver again and rovoot again. Should be done.

It's very "me" oriented: it's biased toward US markets ('cause that's where I am); it summarizes several features such as the CPU, display, and camera (all of which get spec'd out ad nauseum in marketing) which I'm too lazy to standardize; and it's biased toward device availability. Since there isn't a huge selection of options, the minute details hold less relevance.

I welcome updates, clarifications, and corrections; I expect to keep this table up to date until at least such time as I acquire a Linux phone -- even if I am forced into using a de-Googled Android in the meantime. Given Google's shenanigans of late, I am going to factor "Linux-ability" of the de-Googled phones, in the hopes that after Google screws over the forks, we'll still have the option of installing some future more compatible mobile Linux distribution.

I've also considered making a public Cryptopad spreadsheet, but I kind of hate working with SPAs.

Minutia


  • There are many more potential specs for Display, but not all vendors include all specs: nits, refresh rate, touch sample rates, colors, contrast, and protective glass. This can all be useful information, but not all vendors provide all specs, and it would blow up the table. Therefore, I include the most common information: diagonal size, technology (if provided), and dimensions.
  • CPU specifics are restricted to the basics. Most specs list # of performance vs efficiency cores, multiple speed specs, and just a ton of information that wouldn't fit easily into a table; and not all vendors provide the same amount of data in anything like a standard format. So, I include the family and the fastest clock speed, because I'm not sure that even with all the other variables you could calculate an expected standby run time by knowing the slower clock speeds.
  • Cameras are in megapixels, and are back/front resolutions. I do not care about video capture frame rates, modes or anything else about the camera. I have a real camera for photography.
  • Mem is RAM/storage, and whether the phone takes SD cards
  • Battery is in mAh, and an r suffix means replacable
  • USBC is the supported version of USB-C on the device; (v) means I confirmed it supports 3.0's video-over-USB; 2.0 never does, but sometimes 3.0 doesn't, either.
  • Lnx in this context doesn't mean "you can boot it," but "you can make calls" -- IE, what most people would consider daily driving. A smart phone is considered functional if
    • Calls can be placed and received
    • The screen works
    • The WiFi works
    • The speakers work
    • The USB connection works (you can charge the phone)

    In particular, VoLTE is becoming mandatory on many networks in the US, and several EU phones apparently don't support it on US networks (if at all?). Wireless charging appears to require chip support which nobody has implemented Linux drivers for. None of these phones have wireless charging, and if they did, the impression I got was that it wouldn't work under Linux anyway. Regardless, while some people might have that as a minimum requirement, I do not consider it in the "daily driver" category.

    Murena phones come with /e/OS; some are available with Ubuntu Touch.

  • US is whether or not it works on US networks, AFAICT
  • Avail is whether you can get your hands on one right now. Several of these are pre-order.
  • I did not convert Price to dollars, despite this being a US-centric table, because exchange rates are highly variable. A couple of phones I may not flesh out; the Pine64 has embarassing hardware, and I'm fairly certain by now the the Jolla doesn't work in the US; since my goal is to get a phone for me, I'm not spending time filling in data for a phone which can't work.
    Therefore, while I'm not including all de- Googled phones, I'm including some -- especially if Linux support seems to be coming along. I'm also considering only contemporary technology, because even if the battery is replaceable, I'd really not buy myself into having to upgrade soon. Murena, in particular, sells several Pixels (5, 7, 8) with /e/OS.


Phone notes


  • FairPhone 5
    The one phone Murena skipped importing into the US was the FairPhone 5, despite a promising post in 2023 claiming it was coming. It's the one most interesting, and would probably be at the top of my list. The 6 doesn't bring a lot to the table and is both larger and more expensive.
  • The Jolla Phone
    Jolla no longer makes this phone, and the specs are quite old.
    Jolla phones ran Sailfish, which is neither Android nor Linux, but which apparently was pretty nice. I have no knowledge of whether it was what privacy wonks would consider "secure", but it isn't open source and you can not trust anything that isn't open source.
  • Volla phones
    None of the Volla phones have ever been imported into the US, and I've seen commentary that they both work on US networks, and don't. Volla phones are quite nice, specs-wise, and it's a shame we can't get them in the states.
    The Ubuntu Touch website lists the Quintus and 22 as fully functional.
  • F(x)tec PRO¹ X
    Another phone with a physical keyboard. Wireless is (annecdotally, in the comments) unreliable.
  • Murena Teracube 2s
    The bootloader on the Teracube is locked, which precludes installing Linux.
  • Xiaomi Poco X3
    Something of a dark horse, and a phone dating back to 2020, the Xiaomi shows as having every feature functioning under Ubuntu Touch. Unfortunately, the phone does not support VoLTE under Ubuntu Touch, which hinders its use in the US. The phone hardware itself does.
    Nobody has this phone in stock, though, so "Availability" is negative, although I suppose it could be found on eBay or something. The non-replacable battery makes buying it used a sketchy proposition.

I tried daily driving a Linux phone for most of last year. I’m also in the USA and I was on AT&T w/VoLTE.

My experience with Librem 5 was that the hardware is too low spec for me. The RAM pressure with even a handful of apps running is really high. Swap file improves the situation somewhat, but it has downsides.

I also daily drove the Oneplus 6t for a while. That was better, but was still having lots of random call audio issues. (I don’t know if it’s fixed yet.)

One thing to watch out for: I found myself in an emergency situation where I needed to call 911 and the call wouldn’t go through!!

This was on the OP6t with VoLTE monkey-patched into place. It wasn’t a call audio problem, it was an instant call failure.

The experience spooked me quite a bit, because reliable access to E911 is vital, and there is no easy method for testing it in my area.

Oh no! First: sorry you were in a situation requiring emergency services; that's never a good time. I hope it all worked out.

E911 could easily account for the regulatory issues every vendor talks about. The US is pretty strict about phones needing to be both 911-capable, but also locatable.

The RAM pressure is crazy. I have an XPS13 with only 8GB of RAM, and it works fine - although, it gets touchy if you run KDE or Gnome and a browser. I'm not super certain why phone UIs aren't just using lightweight tiling window managers - Android basically functions as one.

Services IPTV concurrents

L’IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) s’est imposée ces dernières années comme une alternative moderne aux services de télévision traditionnels listas adultos iptv. Accessible via une connexion Internet, elle offre flexibilité, personnalisation et une vaste bibliothèque de contenus à la demande. Toutefois, les dix prochaines années s’annoncent décisives pour ce secteur en pleine mutation. Entre défis technologiques, légaux et économiques, l’IPTV devra évoluer pour rester compétitive et crédible.

  1. La pression croissante des infrastructures réseau
    L’un des défis majeurs de l’IPTV concerne la qualité et la stabilité de la connexion Internet. Avec l’augmentation des flux en 4K, 8K et réalité virtuelle, les réseaux devront supporter une bande passante colossale. Les zones rurales ou mal desservies risquent de rester exclues, créant une fracture numérique. La 5G et la fibre optique représentent des solutions, mais leur déploiement mondial prendra du temps. Si les fournisseurs d’IPTV ne parviennent pas à garantir une expérience fluide, ils perdront de nombreux utilisateurs.
  2. La lutte contre le piratage et l’IPTV illégale
    Le piratage est un autre défi omniprésent. Les abonnements IPTV illégaux à bas prix séduisent des millions d’utilisateurs, au détriment des fournisseurs officiels et des ayants droit. Les gouvernements durcissent les lois et multiplient les fermetures de serveurs pirates, mais de nouvelles plateformes apparaissent constamment. Dans la prochaine décennie, les opérateurs devront renforcer les systèmes de cryptage, les audits de sécurité et collaborer davantage avec les autorités pour protéger leurs contenus.
  3. La concurrence féroce des plateformes de streaming
    Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video et autres plateformes de streaming représentent une menace directe pour l’IPTV traditionnelle. Ces services proposent des contenus exclusifs, des interfaces intuitives et une compatibilité avec tous les appareils. Pour rivaliser, l’IPTV devra innover : expériences interactives, contenus immersifs, intégration des réseaux sociaux ou offres hybrides combinant télévision en direct et VOD personnalisée.
  4. L’évolution des attentes des utilisateurs
    Les consommateurs modernes recherchent la rapidité, la diversité et l’absence de contraintes. Ils veulent pouvoir reprendre un programme sur leur smartphone, continuer sur leur téléviseur et télécharger les épisodes pour les regarder hors ligne. Ils exigent également des recommandations intelligentes basées sur leurs goûts. Pour y répondre, les fournisseurs devront investir dans l’intelligence artificielle, l’UX design et les technologies multi-écrans. Toute plateforme incapable de s’adapter risque d’être abandonnée.
  5. Les enjeux réglementaires et la neutralité du Net
    Les prochaines années verront probablement l’émergence de nouvelles régulations concernant la diffusion de contenus, la protection des données personnelles et la neutralité du Net. Si certains gouvernements imposent des restrictions ou des quotas de contenus locaux, cela pourrait limiter la liberté des fournisseurs. De plus, si la neutralité du Net venait à être remise en cause, les fournisseurs d’accès Internet pourraient ralentir ou taxer les services IPTV concurrents, créant un désavantage majeur.
  6. La transition écologique et la consommation énergétique
    Enfin, la question environnementale devient incontournable. Les centres de données nécessaires à l’IPTV consomment une immense quantité d’énergie. Avec l’augmentation des abonnés, l’empreinte carbone risque de s’alourdir. Dans la prochaine décennie, les fournisseurs devront investir dans des infrastructures plus vertes, utiliser des énergies renouvelables et optimiser la compression des données pour réduire leur impact.

En conclusion, l’IPTV fait face à une décennie pleine de défis mais aussi d’opportunités iptv lista españa. Les acteurs qui sauront innover, sécuriser leurs plateformes, respecter les nouvelles règles et répondre aux attentes changeantes des utilisateurs pourront consolider leur place dans l’industrie. Ceux qui ignorent ces enjeux risquent de disparaître dans un paysage numérique de plus en plus compétitif.

My parents pushed me to learn when I was a kid. The way it worked best for me was just dive headfirst into it.

Watching movies and shows in English with English subtitles, reading books in English, playing video games in English (not necessarily learning ones), etc.

I had a couple of small dictionaries, and English booklets with grammar help, translation dictionaries, etc. I wrote down notes on them all the time.

Gamepad latency of the XBOX series S controller

what are your experiences using game controllers with linux, I'm especially interested in the xbox series s controller because it's the one I have, but I'm also interested in other controllers. From my experience the latency is disappointing, but I have no way of proving it.

So, I primarily use this controller in bluetooth mode using xpadneo. There's definitely noticeable latency, but in most games it's fine, I played through a lot of games without bother... until I played Conker: Live and Reloaded. On the infamous race level, it took me like two days to pass it, and I only made some progress when i connected the cable and dropped BT. Even that was fine though, It was just one old game and just one level, there could be a number of things to blame for that.
Come hollow knight, as the game got harder after beating Hornet, it quickly became apparent that I couldn't get far without the cable, save for traversing the world, still, not that bad... until I got to fight radiance. It has been extremely frustrating, I tried it for days and eventually I started just doing a few attempts every few days, without any improvement, finding it hard to get to the second phase. Today I visited my parents and in the late evening decided to try it on a windows computer I left here, mind you, the last time I played was more than a week ago. So, I start the game, plug the same controller in, with the same cable, I beat Radiance on the fucking first try, with half health bar left...

It literally happened 10 minutes ago, I'm still riled up, this doesn't make sense, this has to be latency, there is no way I got that better just like that, It is literally impossible.

So, after all that, I need to unfuck the latency of my controller someway... Ok, it's fine on most games, but this situation is... frustrating

edit: I think it was steam input. The game was running natively, but I had to use steam input because the controller were broken. I solved by running the game in proton, so I wouldn't need steam input anymore.

I think you do tend to get better at some things after you leave it for a while, your brain just has more time to process it or something idk

I don't think the usb connected controller part would have any latency, that's basically just another USB input device. I'd guess that it's between the OS and your eyes (graphics driver latency, wine shenanigans, display refresh rate+pixel refresh latency)

For those of you that use version control, what do you use to edit your documents?


 I recently (finally) moved a bunch of my poems and short stories and other writings off of Google Docs and into a git repo of text files. Right now I’m editing them with VSCode or Zed, which I just found and like so far. Both are fine but not really geare
I recently (finally) moved a bunch of my poems and short stories and other writings off of Google Docs and into a git repo of text files.

(Edit: I always mix up the terms server side and client side decoration. Hopefully by my description its clear which one I'm referring to.)

Pro SSD: the window manager should decide how the apps look

  • user: consistency across the operating system usage
  • dev: generalized and less burden on the dev, less dependencies to worry about and development specific to GNOME
  • both: flexible, change your window manager and the app changes without modifications (at least in ideal world)

At least for a normal window. I wouldn't mind if an application can request with a high priority that it wants to display its own decorations. In that case there should be an option to disable decorations from the window. That is how some applications do work and allows for a flexible usage based on users configuration. Now if there was just an official API from all window managers that can check this configuration, then the user wouldn't even need or know there is a setting for.

This actually does exist. Reasonable Wayland Compositors will negotiate with their clients on whether they should use CSDs or SSDs. To an extent Qt does this: It prefers SSDs but it can draw CSDs if the compositor can't draw SSDs (or signals that it doesn't want to), which is why proper Qt apps are perfectly usable on GNOME Wayland despite missing SSDs.

It would be possible to go even further and make apps that display menu and tool bars on compositors that prefer SSDs (like Plasma/KWin) and nice GTK-style decorations on others. It just happens that most apps either really want to draw their CSDs (mostly because they're made for GNOME, a.k.a. anything using Libadwaita) or they don't really have a use for them (like regular Qt apps).

Somewhat. Programming is just writing step-by-step instructions for computers, which is something that little kids can do. Where small children will run into problems is anything involving abstract reasoning, since those faculties don't develop until around age 12. So while kids could easily handle something like (+ 1 2), they would struggle with:
(define (add x y)
    (+ x y))

So just be sure to keep that in mind while showing them stuff and it should go fine.

Lety Does Jumping Rope

Happy leap day, everyone! It should be my birthday today, but it's not! In celebration of leap day, I decided to do some jump roping! Unfortunately, I forgot that I don't know how to jump rope. Or jump. But that's alright. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but jump ropes will just whip my skin horrifically.

  • Definitely not proper jumping

Loved how you'd just burst out insane laughing at random moments. I did feel bad at how much you berated yourself, though! You worked hard making this video and throughout the year and deserve to be really proud! It was fun to watch for the pure randomness throughout.

Glad the coyotes / Peter Capaldi didn't get you!
