That was actually fairly uncommon for most of the middle ages. From the collapse of the western empire until the military reforms c1500, standing armies were few and far between. Peasants could be drafted to fight by their lords, but time in military service was the exception rather than the rule.
Maybe it’s becuase i grew up on python and bash still seems somewhat alien to me, but any time I’m crafting something with more than three or so nested functions, I use python as a wrapper for bash. Python initiates a bash script, parses the retval, inititates the next bash script from that data, etc.
I personally think that it is incredibly irresponsible to give musk any control over the deployment of critical infrastructure after his stunts in Ukraine. What guarantees do we have that he is not backdooring these satellites while they are in his posession so that he can shutdown Galileo on a whim in the same way he did with starlink?
It feels like we should have solved this issue a decade ago with bittorrent.
A website is just a frontend for a fileserver, so why are we not distributing these files across the globe, where we all volunteer a bit of storage and bandwidth to services we want to use.
Websites really need be nothing more than indexes and trackers which serve up a list of peers who are hosting the files we want.
Electric motors can deliver a lot more torque than ICEs, which makes them very much suitable for towing in terms of power, they just need to deliver larger battery packs to compensate for the weight of the towed vehicles, otherwise the range will be limited.
You’re not wrong. I use a lot of niche tools in my work, which often means cloning from git, modifying the code, dealing with dependencies(recursively sometimes) and building from scratch, which works 90% of the time, but when you find a tool that works exactly as needed and all it takes is an ‘apt get install’, that just makes my day.
They’re typically not a physical toggle though, but a simple board which passes a message to the lcd controller board. You can also send these messages via your display connection.
Can you share the torrents in question? I’d like to take a stab at merging them from hex dumps as explained in my other comment. Maybe develop a tool to automate it for other broken torrents.
Haha, my bad
I believe in that case you may be able to merge the two files by dumping a hex of each, then running a diff on the two hexes and substituting valid hexes into any zero blocks.
I’m actually kind of curious about writing a script to handle this now that I’m presented with it. Can you link the two torrents for me so I can take a crack?
My initial thought was that everything would be stored in triplicate, then read in triplicate and ‘voted’ to the correct value, but I guess even that only extends the time before random bit-flips make the data unreadable. You’re probably right on the need for active error checking if there is an intention to store anything long-term in this manner.
Better yet, buy a huge amount of bitcoin and dump it at the height of the 2018 surge. Stocks implies you have a reasonable amount of money to start with, but bitcoin was worth pennies at the beginning.
It’s the newer Wi-Fi chips that have issues, those for which drivers aren’t yet released. There always seems to be a year-long delay between the next gen laptops being released and the wifi drivers for them.
