Casual Conversation@piefed.social•I'm bored, how is everyone?English
8·1 month agoPretty fucking good, actually. Which alarms me.
You see I’ve observed that my life seems to get better when the rest of society gets worse, and vice versa. Not because of anything I do, it’s just how my luck works. When the economy tanks, I’m financially secure; when the economy is running hot, I’m broke. My wellbeing seems inversely correlated to the wellbeing of society at large.
And I’m doing great. Better than ever, actually. Hence my alarm: according to the inverse wellbeing law, shit’s about to get real.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whats your advice to the younger folks of Lemmy?English
15·1 month agoStart saving for old age now. It might seem like a long way off, and you might not have much money right now to begin with, but being young and poor is way better than being old and poor.

Casual Conversation@piefed.social•Anyone have a favorite musical?English
1·3 months agoGotta be Phantom of the Paradise. It’s a rock opera and spiritual successor to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The story is a mix of Faust, the Picture of Dorian Grey, and Phantom of the Opera, set at a nightclub called the Paradise.

Linux Questions@lemmy.zip•[solved] Why is there no .gz.tar?English
9·5 months agoA .tar archive is basically only the files cat’ed together, with a header and index added, right?
Tar does not include an index. It’s just the headers and data cat’ed together. You have to read from the beginning of the archive until you find the file you want. This is exacerbated if the archive is also gzipped, since you have to decompress all the files leading up to the one you want, as opposed to skipping over them as you could do in an uncompressed tar archive.
So why is there no archive format that just cat’es the compressed files together?
That’s essentially what a zip archive does. Each file is compressed separately and cat’ed together with uncompressed headers in between. Also zip archives do have an index which is what allows for random access and easy changes. The downside is that the compression ratio of a zip archive can be worse than a tar.gz archive.

161·5 months ago“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she wrote in a statement.
She could just not run for re-election if that’s what she’s actually worried about. Resigning early doesn’t make sense.
