man switch_root

switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new
root filesystem and starts init process.

WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.


If you look at the source code, it uses mount(2) with the MS_MOVE flag to move the /proc, /dev, /sys, /run to the new root, then deletes all the files on the old root fs recursively, then MS_MOVE-mounts the new root over the old one. As the comment in the source code points out:

/* Don't try to unmount the old "/", there's no way to do it. */


This is presumably why it deletes the files on the initrd, because it is a ram disk and the files would be eating up memory if left there.

Nahost-Liveblog: ++ Helfer kritisieren Abwurf von Hilfen als zynisch ++

Aus Sicht der Hilfsorganisation Ärzte ohne Grenzen sind die Abwürfe von Lebensmitteln über dem Gazastreifen sinnlos und zynisch. Die EU-Kommission schlägt vor, Israel von Geldern für Start-ups auszuschließen.

»But it’s going to require a sustained return of proper nutrition. When you get these occasional punctuated moments where they eat for 3 or 4 days in a row but then a month later are back in a starvation situation, that’s really not helpful. It could make the injury even worse or potentially more long term. When refeeding patients with severe malnutrition, they really do require consistent feeding — not these ridiculous airdrop situations that just create chaos, terror and violence.«

Well, isn't "having sex" also a euphemism for fucking?

I started to use "copulation," but that's euphemistic too. It's original meaning seems to be "joining." How about "orgasm-producing activity with another person"?

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived


That's from Genesis. Can't get much more euphemistic than that. He "knew" (wink, wink) her.

The legal term "carnal knowledge" seems to be based on this.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnal_k…

Carnal knowledge has also sometimes meant sexual intercourse outside of marriage, and sometimes refers to sex with someone under the age of consent. The phrase is often found in this sense in modern legal usage, being equivalent to statutory rape in some jurisdictions, as the term rape implies lack of consent.

Giant hail threat increases for Australian cities as climate warms

> The frequency of "giant" hail and the number of hail days in a season could increase substantially for multiple Australian cities as the climate warms, a new study has found.

No thanks to any brand who sell transducers, I finally found a viable solution and some information on how to install an in hull transducer.

Press and embed the unit into the inside of the hull
This will enable down imaging. SI will not work but DI is good enough for me.

I further calculate that fiberglass plastic padding and laminated polyester are basically the same thing with the same density.

So I will press the unit into plastic padding, with some wax under it. Wipe it clean and epoxy it

I actually never thought about this.
I wonder if there is a setting in the fish finder terminal thingie, where I can do this?

I should probably set it for when the boat is anchored and still.

Because it is only a 10 degree hell at the transom so the depth varies from 4 to 12 inches depending on speed.

I was thinking about that too 😛

If I subtract 12 inches for angling and then when I go full speed there are hardly 4 inches left, my sonar will ad 8 inches to the actual deep.

Perhaps if I only subtract 4 inches.

Or I just learn that when I am anchoring it is 12 inches deeper than the reader says. But I am not sure if it matters that much

Perhaps on boats with deeper V shaped hulls that there is more of a difference

Or I am yet to reach that level of angling where it matters 😀

@relentless_eduardo Basically. Beef Salt and water. I do it some days but most days I just eat animal based. I like having a block of cream cheese with honey and vanilla bean paste and cinnamon at least once a day. Kills weight loss but keeps me happy and doesn't rot my teepfth. I'm pretty sure I'll be doing this diet forever since like cures all main causes of death so not trying to lose weight fast.

>The NFL's scoring algorithm asserts that Black men have lower cognitive skills to begin with and has impeded the ability for former Black players to attain awards from the league's settlement as they are required to score significantly lower than their white counterparts.

Luckily for the NFL they have decades worth of Wonderlic tests for all of these players claiming disability, so they can factually prove their claim.

Epstein had a billion red flags. If you hung around with a guy like that, you knew what he did, and if you hung around with him for that long, odds are extremely high you fucked a kid. Even if you didn't, he knew people were fucking kids.

For the first time since 7 October 2023, a mainstream "Western" outlet, The @guardian, contacted me for my views about what "Israel" is doing in Gaza. This is my response. I have nothing against the individual journalist, a freelancer, which is why I don't disclose their name.

They'll try to "solve" this by criminalizing VPN use.
RT: social.marxist.network/users/y…


The UK’s Online Safety Act has backfired spectacularly, forcing age verification for even mundane online content, driving users to VPNs, and forcing smaller sites to shut down.

Meanwhile, the EU’s Digital Services Act is deploying similar age-checking tools, further censoring dissent under the guise of safety. Both laws exemplify how governments exploit child protection to surveil and control the internet, eroding free speech under the pretense of regulation.
