A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.

I thought Mark Kurlansky sounded familiar so I just looked and yup, he wrote Salt: a World History. I adore that book, but I haven’t really looked into any of his other work yet. What else would you recommend by him?


I used Opus 4.6 Extended
Stop being cheap, OP. You clearly just need to shell out multiple billions of dollars for access to mythos /s


To add a tiny bit of technical detail here, vanilla Arch enforces support for x86_64 v1, meaning all software available in the Arch repos is built to not use any cpu feature that didn’t exist in v1. Not a bad thing since it allows for support of older (64 bit) hardware, but it does leave like 20 years of microarchitecture advancement on the table.
According to the CachyOS website, they have repos with software built for v3 and v4 which can apparently juice your rig for an extra 20% performance.


Subscribed/New most of the time, but I check All/Active every once in a while to see if there’s any drama going on.
Sometimes I’ll hit All/Scaled when I’m really desperate.
The way its head tilts forward after the first stumble, it almost makes it look embarrassed. Very nearly made me feel bad for laughing as hard as I did.
