The QR code it shows is quite fancy, better user experience than taking a photo and trying to OCR it ... especially if the beginning of the oops has already disappeared and no tty scrolling is available (any more).
Also gave me a good laughter, since I didn't know this existed and that it was even enabled on my system.
Isn't it a hub for human trafficking, in particular for pornography and other exploitation/abuse? I have no data on this, only anecdotal evidence from people who have done social work there. If true, it's perhaps less surprising to see also related technology originating from there as well.
Ok, cheers! I occasionally need to investigate older releases and compare to out-of-tree things, and was thinking pgit might be of help there. I put up a reminder for myself to check pgit again next time I need to do that sort of stuff!
Hey, I tried to import Linux kernel master branch from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... to pgit. My laptop is not the beefiest (some Ryzen 7 with 16G RAM and about 300G disk free), so that did not quite work. It died when trying to rebuild indexes (after bulk import), due to Postgres running out of disk space.
I guess this could have been expected, but it didn't quite occur to me since plain git has had no issues with that repository. Either way, the import process was quite slow: the failure happened after 3h30m. I'm not sure if it would be possible to speed it up, or estimate resource consumption ahead of time and warn the user? The laptop also had gone almost 2G into swap at some point, so there was quite a bit of memory pressure as well, but I don't quite know at which point this happened.
Disaster is perhaps an exaggeration, but it does seem like this would be another environment, where users need to be aware of a different set of safety and usability measures than in the browser. Surely we will see interesting attempts at exploiting it.
Overall, I think the idea is super interesting, especially the ability to encode in the future other context than URLs with it. Whether actually useful, or just gimmicky, remains to be seen.
Trivially, `less` to see README.md of a malicious/compromised open source project. There are perhaps more plausible avenues of exploiting, but this one popped to mind immediately.
Do your financial calculations take into account possible differences between Turkish and Portuguese practicalities? For example: is 1100 euro gross income or after taxes? What kind of unavoidable expenses you will have on top of rent: electricity, water, transportation, Internet/mobile, groceries, insurance and so on?
From my Nordic perspective, your budget will not leave much at all on the table at the end of the month. Groceries are probably more expensive here than in Portugal, but I still get a feeling that making the ends meet could be a real struggle. This kind of setup would be much more (financially) reasonable if you can live together with someone who is also working and then split the rent.
I suppose you took all of this into consideration already. Likewise, if you haven't already, it could be useful to search for some expat forums and ask people's opinions on anything that could be surprising in everyday life.
Do you speak Portuguese? Are you interested in learning it? I don't know how big a role it plays in making connections and friends in Portugal, and how important those are to you. It may be also more difficult to find English (or Turkish!) speakers in smaller towns compared to big cities.
How stable is the remote role? Are you more likely to be laid off (or the company to cease operations) than turmoil in Turkey? Obviously this is also very subjective speculation, but since you don't mention it, how does it figure into your plans? How well will you be able to find other similar work in Portugal? (Or elsewhere, I would assume your relocation will offer freedom of employment across EU.)
As a long time Emacs user, I never even tried Gnus, or used it as a calendar (except for some time tracking in org-mode). How would calendar invites work there? How well does it support shared calendars to determine busy/free information of others?
Oh, I see. I'm in a similar position, but would rather not see things escalate at all. Even so, it is difficult to see how the relations between Europe and the US would return to what they have been for a long time. But a real conflict would be an entirely different scenario, with very unpredictable, yet possibly world changing consequences.
We know that appeasement has never worked. Hence we must be prepared. But to wish for this sort of escalation is a step too much for me. I hope that people in positions of power have cool heads. But also that they remember history.
(I see I was downvoted quite a bit, not sure why, though.)
I suppose you're not one of the conscripted (or even professional) soldiers that would be called to duty to protect the region in case of an armed conflict?
If I were to guess, probably all of the months (four to twelve) in units that are in the Arctic, and (very close to) zero months in other units. I also don't know how well military experience from other Danish regions translates to the Arctic. Probably quite well, I'd imagine.
