It now creates the systemd-boot file so you can boot into a snapshot when your machine starts and deletes snapshots more than 5 days old. New snapshots are triggered when you apt install or apt remove.

China emerges from the trade war chaos with record exports. Surplus Exports rose 5.8% in June from a year earlier to $325 billion, exceeding the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of analysts. Imports rose 1.1% to grow for the first time since February, according to data from the General Administration of Customs on Monday.

Nvidia plans to resume H20 AI chip sales to China after Washington assured shipments will be approved, reversing an earlier Trump administration stance in April (Mackenzie Hawkins/Bloomberg)

) presents operators with spaceship-worthy cabins featuring orthopedic air-ride seats, multi-zone climate control, and panoramic digital displays. While these amenities dramatically improve working conditions, they introduce complex trade-offs that ripple through equipment budgets, maintenance schedules, and operational efficiency. Beneath the surface of these comfort upgrades lies a web of unintended consequences that savvy fleet managers must navigate to maintain profitability in an increasingly competitive market.
## The Illusion of Increased Productivity Manufacturers often justify premium-priced comfort packages with promises of enhanced operator productivity. The reality reveals a more nuanced picture. While ergonomic improvements reduce fatigue during extended shifts, the **cognitive load** imposed by multilayer touchscreen interfaces actually slows decision-making in time-critical mixing operations. Studies of mixer crews in Qatar's extreme climates showed operators in basic cabins maintained 7% faster cycle times than those navigating complex control ecosystems.  Modern vibration-damped cabins isolate operators so effectively that they lose tactile feedback about mixture consistency—a sensory connection veteran drivers traditionally relied upon to adjust water content instinctively. Some European contractors now install supplemental vibration actuators in steering wheels to artificially restore this lost feedback channel, creating an ironic solution to an over-engineering problem. ## Maintenance Complexity Behind the Luxury Facade That sleek 12-inch capacitive touchscreen represents a **single point of failure** more vulnerable to concrete dust infiltration than traditional tactile controls. Repair costs for climate control systems in [mini concrete mixer](aimixconcretesolution.com/conc…) cabins run 300% higher than standard HVAC units, with specialized particulate filters requiring replacement every 250 operating hours in dusty environments. The sealed, pressurized cabins that protect operators from external noise introduce new failure modes—a single damaged door gasket can disable the entire air filtration system. Electro-hydraulic control systems underpinning these comfort features demand proprietary diagnostic tools unavailable at most rural job sites. A survey of Australian mining operations revealed that mixer downtime increased by 22% after adopting full-comfort models, primarily due to waiting periods for specialized technicians. The very systems designed to improve uptime through operator satisfaction ironically create new dependencies on manufacturer support networks.  ## The Training Gap No One Anticipated Transitioning veteran operators to these technologically advanced [concrete mixers South Africa](aimixconcretesolution.com/self…) requires surprisingly extensive retraining. The intuitive interfaces prove anything but instinctive for workers accustomed to mechanical levers and analog gauges. One Indonesian contractor documented a 40-hour learning curve before operators achieved their former efficiency levels—a hidden cost rarely factored into procurement decisions. Younger operators drawn to the high-tech cabins often lack the **material science intuition** developed through years of hands-on mixing. The industry sees growing instances of perfect slump readings on digital displays coinciding with poor field performance, as operators become over-reliant on sensors rather than visual-tactile assessment. Some forward-thinking companies now run parallel training programs teaching both traditional judgment skills and new interface navigation. The comfort revolution in mixer cabins isn't inherently misguided—it simply demands more thoughtful implementation. Smart fleets balance these upgrades with robust maintenance protocols and hybrid training approaches. Others opt for selectively equipped units, reserving full-comfort models for extreme environments while maintaining simpler machines for routine operations. The most successful operators recognize that true efficiency comes not from chasing every available comfort feature, but from strategically integrating enhancements that genuinely improve outcomes without introducing unsustainable overhead.

@kaitaki Arch or Manjaro probably the most up to date but definitely blow up regularly, Ubuntu slightly less so but does have quarterly releases so you can stay reasonably current, still blows up but much less frequently than arch, debian even more conservative, less current but very stable. I would personally recommend staying away from Redhat, they got a bad case of lets fuck existing protocols and invent our own.
@katt @kaitaki arch works in some circumstances, but when you've got a lot of things installed and don't update frequenty you run into problems, mainly with changed signatures or moved repositories.
@katt @kaitaki As an example, the last time I tested, x2goserver did not work. And I never go six months between updates. And more often than not it's things in the AUR that are problematic. Also, if I build a kernel from mainstream kernel.org, I have to install totally by hand, install the kernel, install the modules, make the ramintfs, update grub, where as with redhat derivatives I can use make rpmbin-pkg or debian derivatives make debbin-pgk. and then use rpm or dpkg to install. It definitely takes more effort to keep up than other distros but you can keep right on the bleeding edge if you like.

The United States is now functionally equivalent to Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
As of today there is no more "it's going to happen" - it has now happened, fully and completely. The US government has been taken over by ultranationalist authoritarians intent on ethnic cleansing. That should be the headline of every newspaper and news program. Sound the alarm. Sound all the alarms.
The phrase "Remember your Homeland's Heritage" is textbook ethnonationalist language. 'Homeland' is meant to evoke 'blood and soil' ideology and "Heritage" is telling us that ONLY white Americans have any claim on American identity and history.
The US government is explicitly promoting white settler mythology as the nation's defining 'heritage.' This romanticized pioneer imagery serves a specific ideological function. To establish white Europeans as the only true Americans.
"Yea we hate immigrants, but we love settlers...who are definitely not immigrants...and whose 'homeland' is definitely the place they were settling and not where they were coming from." 😵💫😡😫
Beyond all of the other brazen bullshit within this image that is pure propaganda... it might interest intelligent folks to know that "pioneers" in their wagons did not bring sewing machines with them, the main reason being that sewing machines (like the one in this shite image) were not yet invented or sold... but yeah homeland... you be you. 🤢

I can tell if a mosquito spray is going to work purely based on how cancerous the fumes smell. The scent of that shit better make me feel like it's taking an hour off my lifespan just by spraying myself or the mosquitos ain't gonna give a single fuck.

@Griffith accidentally got wasp spray in my eye and was fine after washing, didn't even burn before i got it out. I looked at the bottle and went "how do bugs die from this..?"
I was told Raid hurts like a motherfucker if you get it in your eyes. Some people use it as a stand in for pepper spray in extra cucked jurisdictions where you can't even have that.
@f0x @Griffith Spraying someone with Raid instead of pepper spray sounds hilarious. Just start yelling about cockroaches like Tony Montana before you take that shit out.
the only "natural" stuff in my experience that works is Repel lemon eucalyptus spray which doesn't smell bad. i have no idea if it's any less harmful than deet. it's somewhat less effective, but actually does work. if the mosquitoes are really swarming and hungry you want deet
