"I'll move to Linux if it runs every game I want" just say that you never will move


I hate when people say that they'll only move when it has 100% support

People who say 'cant wait for steamOS to come out so that I can move to it' is also very similar

They never will try Linux, even if what they want comes true

They won't do it, whether they just fear change or think it'll break stuff or they can't bother

And I'm not going to lie, I don't hate them or debate with them for it, I just hate the bold lies they tell just to get with the crowd

"Fuck you Microsoft, I'm moving to Linux" says the individual that would never move if they haven't already

Frankly, I probably wouldn't move either if Windows didn't permanently break my ethernet and WiFi drivers, and reinstalling windows wasn't harder than installing Linux, fucking hell

Either way, these people kick up hype for a Linux that will be so much bigger but they never arrive

Maybe they will, due in fucking 2028 or something when they invent a really easy way to use built in Linux tools to move your files from NTFS to Linux and then when you launch steam you have a perfect library of Linux compatible games that are as good or better than windows

And don't lie, even now with 80% compatibility it feels more like 60%, whether because it depends on the system one runs or because the performance drops just make it not worth it...

At least don't lie that you'll move to Linux at a goal post that you'll just move whenever you get close, maybe say that you'll move to Linux when you finally get a new pc with a new disk or something?

It's a little strange that you think "I want feature parity with what's working for me (from my perspective)" is:

1) A lie.
2) Unreasonable to ask for.

The healthy responses would be "Well, I hope either support grows or your needs change, because of some philosophical reasons you might not care about... yet" or, if they're open to it "Oh, it can do this if you put a little work in, let me help you."

The unhealthy response is to accuse people of moving goalposts as if someone's tool of choice is a political debate. It can be, obviously, given FOSS philosophies, but honestly this kind of screed just drives people away.

The Operating Difficulty and Configuration Diversity of Mobile Asphalt Plants


In the competitive world of road and bridge construction, contractors are constantly seeking efficient and flexible equipment to meet the diverse demands of job sites. Among these machines, the mobile asphalt plant stands out as a powerful solution that combines portability with reliable asphalt production. However, with benefits also come challenges—particularly in terms of operational complexity and configuration options.

This article explores the operating difficulty and configuration diversity of mobile asphalt plants(planta de asfalto movil), shedding light on how users can make informed decisions based on project needs and technical capabilities. Whether managing a large-scale infrastructure development or a smaller maintenance job, understanding these aspects is key to maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime.

Understanding the Operation of Mobile Asphalt Plants

Operator Skills and Training Requirements


Unlike stationary asphalt plants, mobile units require operators to have a broader range of skills. This is because tasks extend beyond simple operation—they also include site setup, alignment of components, and system calibration. While modern mobile asphalt plants often feature automated controls, operators still need to:


  • Understand material flow dynamics
  • Manage burner and drum temperature settings
  • Monitor moisture content and aggregate proportions
  • Respond quickly to changes in mix design or site conditions

For new operators, these systems may seem overwhelming. However, with proper training and familiarization, the learning curve can be managed effectively. In fact, some small asphalt plant(planta de asfalto pequeña) models are designed with simplified interfaces, making them ideal for less experienced crews or smaller projects.

Assembly and Commissioning Challenges


Even though mobile plants are designed for easy relocation, the setup process still demands technical precision. Components such as the drying drum, fuel system, and control cabin must be correctly installed to ensure safe and efficient operation. This complexity varies based on the plant’s design and capacity, and incorrect assembly can lead to costly errors or safety hazards.

Configuration Diversity of Mobile Asphalt Plants

Core Configurations and Customization Options


Mobile asphalt plants are available in several configurations, each suited to specific needs. The two primary configurations are:


  • Drum Mix Type: Continuous and ideal for high-volume production. Common in remote or large-scale highway projects.
  • Batch Mix Type: Allows for precise control of mix designs. Preferred when flexibility and customization of asphalt mixes are required.

Within these types, buyers can choose from various options:


  • Number and size of aggregate hoppers
  • Dust collection systems (wet scrubbers, baghouse filters)
  • Fuel type (diesel, natural gas, coal)
  • Bitumen heating systems
  • Storage silos and control automation levels

These choices directly affect cost, portability, and maintenance needs. For instance, a small asphalt plant with fewer hoppers and simplified controls may offer better cost-efficiency for short-term or low-volume projects, but might not be suitable for larger operations with strict quality demands.

Environmental and Regulatory Considerations


Another layer of complexity comes from compliance with local environmental regulations. Depending on the project location, emissions standards and noise control requirements may influence the choice of dust collection systems or insulation levels for fuel burners. Some modern asphalt plant(planta de asfalto) models include features that automatically adjust to environmental conditions, but these often come with higher investment costs.

Selecting the Right Mobile Asphalt Plant Based on Operational Needs

Key Factors to Consider

1. Project Duration and Volume Requirements: Short-term projects may benefit from compact, easy-to-deploy plants. Long-term contracts often justify investing in higher-capacity models with automation features.

2. Crew Experience Level: If the team has limited experience, selecting a model with simplified control systems or remote technical support can significantly reduce operational risk.

3. Mobility Demands: Projects that frequently change locations will benefit from highly mobile units with quick assembly mechanisms.

4. Budget Constraints: While it's tempting to choose the most advanced setup, an over-configured plant can increase operational difficulty and maintenance costs unnecessarily. In some cases, starting with a small asphalt plant and scaling up later is the wiser strategy.

Conclusion


The mobile asphalt plant is a cornerstone in modern road construction, offering unparalleled flexibility and responsiveness to diverse site conditions. However, this adaptability comes with its own set of operational and configuration challenges.

Understanding the intricacies of operating these machines, from setup and calibration to material management, is essential for maximizing efficiency. At the same time, navigating the wide array of configurations requires careful consideration of project goals, workforce skill levels, and long-term needs.

Whether you're investing in a full-capacity unit or starting with a small asphalt plant, making informed decisions based on both technical and strategic factors will ensure your asphalt production stays on track—regardless of where the road leads.

Madonna - Like A Prayer (Official Video)


You're watching the official music video for "Like A Prayer" from Madonna's album 'Like A Prayer' released on Sire Records in 1989.

Lyrics:
Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice
I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes
Oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky
I close my eyes
Heaven, help me

When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control
Just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me
It's like a dream
Let the choir sing

When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice
Your voice can take me there
Your voice can take me there
Like a prayer

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
It's like a prayer

Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs


in reply to lacaio da inquisição

So they were trying to patch systems that use GRUB for Windows-only installs? What a load of BS. Why would anybody install GRUB to boot only Windows with that? Or am I overlooking something?

Furthermore, if GRUB has a security issue, they should've contributed a patch at the source instead of patching it themselves somehow.
I'm a bit stunned at the audacity of touching unmounted filesystems in an OS patch. Good thing Windows still doesn't include EXT4 and BTRFS drivers because they might start messing with unencrypted Linux system drives at this rate

What distro do you use for your servers?


I've only ever used desktop Linux and don't have server admin experience (unless you count hosting Minecraft servers on my personal machine lol). Currently using Artix and Void for my desktop computers as I've grown fond of runit.

I'm going to get a VPS for some personal projects and am at the point of deciding what distro I want to use. While I imagine that systemd is generally the best for servers due to the far more widespread support (therefore it's better for the stability needs of a server), I have a somewhat high threat model compared to most people so I was wondering if maybe I should use something like runit instead which is much smaller and less vulnerable. Security needs are also the reason why I'm leaning away from using something like Debian, because how outdated the packages are would likely leave me open to vulnerabilities. Correct me if I'm misunderstanding any of that though.

Other than that I'm not sure what considerations there are to make for my server distro. Maybe a more mainstream distro would be more likely to have the software in its repos that I need to host my various projects. On the other hand, I don't have any experience with, say, Fedora, and it'd probably be a lot easier for me to stick to something I know.

In terms of what I want to do with the VPS, it'll be more general-purpose and hosting a few different projects. Currently thinking of hosting a Matrix instance, a Mastodon instance, a NextCloud instance, an SMTP server, and a light website, but I'm sure I'll want to stick more miscellaneous stuff on there too.

So what distro do you use for your server hosting? What things should I consider when picking a distro?

Would being a Linux "power user" increase my chances of getting a job in IT/tech?


I'm trying to get a job in IT that will (hopefully) pay more than a usual 9 to 5. I'm been daily driving Linux exclusively for about 2 1/2 years now and I'm trying to improve my skills to the point that I could be considered a so-called "power user." My question is this: will this increase my hiring chances significantly or marginally?
in reply to djsumdog

I started editing this video in Resolve and this is the first time I went back to Kdenlive. It's truly gotten so much better. Years ago it just crashed a lot and once even corrupted my save file.

The current version is amazingly fluid. Some of the updates in Resolve has made their timeline clunkier, or maybe it's just been so long I've forgotten how their UI works. The free version of Resolve also can't handle a lot of the codecs using in my recording gear, where Kdenlive can handle them or offers to automatically transcodes them on import.

If you edit video and haven't tried Kdenlive in a while, give it another shot. It's one less thing I need a windows or mac box for.

What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?


For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

Ariana Grande - twilight zone (Official Lyric Video)


The official “twilight zone” official lyric video by Ariana Grande.

Lyrics


Did I dream the whole thing?
Was I just a nightmare?
Different dimensions
Stuck in the twilight zone
Is this a black and white scene?
If so, then I'm in the gray one
Hope you win for best actor
'Cause I had you completely wrong

Does she know you're not who you say you are?
'Cause I might give her a call
Or was I just not me at all?

And it's not like I'm still not over you
It's so strange, this I never do
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened

It's not like I'd ever change a thing
'Cause I'm right here, where I'm meant to be
Not that I'd call you, I won't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened

Were we just mistaken?
Disguised our intentions?
Our nest was a masquerade (masquerade)
Why do I still protect you? (Mm)
Pretend these songs aren't about you (songs aren't about you)
Hope this might be the last one
'Cause I'm not foolin' anyone

Does she know you're not who you say you are?
'Cause I might give her a call
Or was I just not me at all?

And it's not like I'm still not over you
It's so strange, this I never do
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened

It's not like I'd ever change a thing
'Cause I'm right here, where I'm meant to be
Not that I'd call you, I won't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened

It's not like I'm (over you)
It's so strange (I don't miss you)
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe (can't believe)
You happened

What's on your personal server?


Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I'm curious about the cool stuff you've got running on your personal servers.

What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?
