- My plane is late. By over an hour. For a flight that is just over an hour in the first place. Well, means I have time to post.
- But a shortage of content.
- In the US, it's not the low-end cards selling below MSRP, but the high-end ones. (Tom's Hardware)
Admittedly those MSRPs are insane.
- Don't use Zstd compression on Arch Linux. (Phoronix)
It's normally a safe choice, but Arch uses a particular compiler flag by default that makes it 25x slower than Ubuntu for this specific case.
Update: Well, that was no fun. Takeoff was delayed due to mechanical problems, as in, they had to find another plane somewhere and fly it in. Landing was delayed due to weather. Train home was delayed due to the fact that THERE WERE NO TRAINS HOME.
So by the time I got home all the shops and takeaway places were shut, and I got to have cold baked beans for dinner because Old House is nearly empty now.
It's supposed to be completely empty, but this past week did not permit that.

Today's flight was on a Dash 8-200, the smallest plane so far, a 36-seater. It has the same engines as the larger Dash 8-300, so it takes off in no distance at all. Throttle up and the wheels aren't touching the ground anymore. It does mean though that every window looks out on the engines.
Disclaimer: Oh not.
