Why is adoption a thing in this way though? People compare AUR to github which seems very apt, but on Github no-one can come and take over the URL of an abandoned repo for rhemselves, if someone wants to start maintaining and the old owner is MIA, they have to make a fork. Why doesn’t AUR work the same way but instead allows anyone to take over any abandoned project with no checks?

R wins again! I’m grateful every time i write the vector 1:n

The flag -y refreshes the package list (like apt update). For some reason, you use the flag -yy to force it to clear the whole package list and redownload everything.

To allow package downgrades when upgrading you use -uu.

These are very commonly suggested fixes to arch package management problems, for example when you leave your arch install to suit for too long, it will be impossible to update it because of dependency problems. So you google it and people are saying to run “pacman -SSyyuu” or other such commands.

Those additional options should be their own flags, command line flags should be idempotent (it should flip a switch on, doing it multiple times shouldn’t change anything).

Pacman flags not being idempotent (-SS, yy, uu and such existing) is so unbelievably horrible that I can’t use arch just because of it.

A company can throw so much manpower at the project that by adding more features and marketing the proprietary fork heavily (Extend) users start moving from the free fork to the proprietary one, and when the users are gone, the devs leave also. We end up with the original project dead(Extinguish).

What DAW are you planning to use?

I think aliexpress EMF paint has a good chance of working. All you need is some kind of conductor (usually graphite, that’s literally just pencil lead) mixed with some kind of adhesive. I’m not sure how the adhesive doesn’t stop electricity flow (maybe there’s just so much graphite it doesn’t matter), anyways you can buy graphite spray in any electronics hobby store, a paint is just that with a different consistency.

If you make a room’s walls and ceiling/floor electrically conductive (with paint or tin foil or wire mesh), you create a faraday cage. And as long as the gaps are small enough (proportional to the wavelength of the signal you want to block), nothing in those frequencies is getting in or out. A Faraday bag for your phone might be cheaper, though.

Basically an exponential function.

Linnutee in Estonian, literally “bird’s path” because of the birds migrating south for the winter using it for navigation.
