The higher the number, the newer the generation of USB. Mostly it means they have faster data transfer speeds and can output more power when charging devices.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the fundamental difference between sudo and doas ?
5·2 months agoSudo: Always uses the root user to get access to run a command, no matter which user you want to run the command as. Doas: Uses the user you want to run the command as to actually get access to run the command.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If servers can be compared to automobiles, which aspect of IT can this be compared to ?
5·2 months agoI’d say container platforms/serverless hosting. The boat element (container ship) represents Docker/containers, and the car element represents the fact that, in the end everything is still reliant on physical servers, so it’s not really serverless per se.
Because it’s my money they’re paid from.

Technology@lemmy.world•Both Fedora and Ubuntu will get AI support – soonEnglish
511·3 months agoSoooo, which distro to switch to next? Or are they all gonna go down this route eventually? Maybe I’ll try a *BSD for once.
Both Debian and RHEL-like distros are solid choices. Both are super stable. Debian tends to not always have the newest packages, so if you want that I’d steer away from Debian. Personally I use Rocky Linux for my servers. It’s based on RHEL, meaning each new major version benefits from Red Hat’s 10 years of software support. Debian (and derivates) have better community support I think, but RHEL has very solid documentation (which for the most part applies directly to Rocky, Alma etc.)
Here’s a great article outlining the differences between Alma and Rocky.
But for something simple like running a Go application, both should work just fine, so choose what you’re most comfortable with.
Rocky is available at Scaleway too.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How plausible is a medical tricorder?
5·3 months agoNo you’re not! :D
Have you tried screen? AFAIK it’s similar to tmux, but tmux has more bells and whistles, which it sounds like you want to avoid. I use it sometimes to start long running rsync sessions on a server and then periodically SSH in and check it. It does break scrolling though, but I don’t know if there’s some option to make it behave more like a normal terminal.
Bazzite is the more gaming oriented flavour of Universal Blue’s distros, but take a look at Bluefin if you wanna try something similar (but not focused on gaming, although gaming also works fine on it). I’ve used it for about a year or so myself, and I love it. It’s immutable so it “just works”, but I can still play around and tinker with distroboxes or VMs.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something you can see, hear, smell, etc., that others can't?
10·8 months agoThere are syringes that come prefilled with saline used to flush IVs. Some people can taste it when it’s injected, others can’t. I’m one of those who can.
I can quickly learn to recognize specific people’s footsteps, so I can hear who’s approaching. Sometimes it doesn’t even depend on what footwear the person is wearing.
Apparently I can hear high pitched sounds too. I’ve heard such sounds several times where people around me weren’t able to hear it, and recently I could hear an ultrasound device too, which kinda make sense since they start at around 20 kHz.
Also, this isn’t about sensing, but I can slow my heart rate temporarily simply by holding my breath.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•You can choose 1 superpower, but the first reply is the side effect. What superpower would you choose?
1·9 months agoBut you have to name it after the person you hate the most.

What you’re talking about is basically an encrypted backup. Seedvault does exactly that, it’s included in many custom ROMs, including GrapheneOS.
