Man spürt die stärkeren Temperaturschwankungen weiterhin aber es wird nicht unangenehm und regelt sehr flink nach. Eine der ersten Änderungen in einer neuen Wohnung, die ich mache: Armaturen austauschen. Nicht vergessen jedes Mal neue Dichtringe zu kaufen. Macht das Leben leichter.

In short: it's not the letter, it's the first sound that dictates "a" vs "an".

Example:

a uniform

an underling

This is not a celebration. It's a desperate search for any light in a room filled with darkness.

That's what containers are for. Fucking up the container won't fuck up the host. That was the best decision in self hosting I've done. Even that one virtual machine feels weird and uncomfortably legacy now but it needs to interact with hardware in a certain way that just won't fully work with docker.

Look out for an option to receive all data they have stored on you. It might take a few days until they have your collection ready but you will receive a nice machine readable data set of what you've watched. It may require some post-processing depending on how crappy their internal data model is. Did this for Netflix and the result was very workable.

Fascinating. That's much more than I expected. Thanks for taking the time.

The image doesn't look like a photo. The meme is about porn. Digital images can contain large areas of repeating patterns (uniform color areas for example) that can be compressed losslessly pretty well. Even slight noise from an image sensor can block that kind of compression.

You're right. png can be lossy but that's uncommon in the wild.

bmp should not compress more than other media files. jpeg, png, etc. can compress so much because they are lossy

Python doesn't have to. Windows supports both out of the box. Has been for many, many years

No. Because the python version of the host and the target server must loosely match up. Otherwise you get some cryptic error messages in some unexpected modules. Red Hat's solution: just manage RHEL 9 targets from RHEL9 hosts and RHEL8 from RHEL8 hosts. There is no official way to align python versions across that major.
