Few people outside of MAGA will ever fully appreciate just how close we were to losing America forever

Obama was ushering in a Marxist revolution that almost succeeded

If Hillary won, she would’ve stacked SCOTUS with 3 liberals and our gun rights, free speech, and due process rights would’ve been toast

If Kamala stole it in 2024, we’d already be in WW3 and would have another 2-3 million new illegals already here

We were THIS close to entering decades of darkness for all of humanity

But President Trump & the MAGA movement rose up to defeat the greatest evil the world has ever known

Error: Symbol 'grub_is_using_legacy_shim_lock_protocol' Not found [Solved]


I booted into my Manjaro gaming rig this morning for its weekly update check and got this error message.

Error: Symbol 'grub_is_using_legacy_shim_lock_protocol' Not found

seems like grub is not installed.

I noticed the warning after the last update a week ago regarding grub.

A single line in the pacman terminal output is not really good enough. I did nothing at the time

I dont use btrfs only ext4.

FIXED:

inserted a manjaro live usb

selected efi-usb

booted into the live manjaro distro

opened terminal

input two commands

manjaro-chroot -a

install-grub

Looking for replacement to cpufreqd


Hello everyone!

After upgrading to latest debian, I’ve discovered that cpufreqd was removed from stable.

I was using it in my PC to adjust the CPU power depending of the load of the system, and automatically switch profiles. I’ve seen cpupower as a replacement, which does not allow to automatically switch profile depending of user defined rules.

Do you know any alternative? (The package is working fine for now, but I fear the day the application will not be compatible with a kernel update, and I want to prevent this before).

En mer du Nord, l’effet de sillage devient un vrai problème pour les parcs éoliens - Transitions & Energies


#environnement #énergie

Il s’agit d’un phénomène physique bien identifié mais encore mal expliqué. Il a pour nom « wake effect » ou effet de sillage. Appliqué aux éoliennes, notamment marines, il se traduit sur des dizaines de kilomètres par des pertes importantes de puissance pour les éoliennes situées en aval de celles exposées en premier aux vents. Elles sont en quelque sorte déventées. Et la concentration grandissante d’éoliennes en Mer du Nord qui atteignent des tailles gigantesques rend le problème de plus en plus aigu. Il l’est d’autant plus que la maitrise scientifique de la mécanique des fluides reste limitée. Pour remédier à cela, il faudrait résoudre les célèbres équations mathématiques Navier-Stokes, formulées au XIXe siècle, et qui ne l’ont jamais été…
