Comment Re:Hey Canada, here's a hint (Score 4, Informative) 68

As I posted above, Quebec uses 99% hydro and renewable and still has plenty to export. They sell some to Ontario and the maritime provinces but it's more a matter of transmission lines. Selling it to British Columbia or Alberta would be harder at the moment due to the lack of transmission lines as well as transmission losses if there were any. So, there is still some available to sell to the near states in United States at market price there or a bit lower.

By the way, Hydro-Quebec is owned by the government and all the profits go to the government and helps paying the cost of running the government like education, roads and social programs etc. Citizens in Quebec pay around 7 cents a KWh at that's Canadian money where 1 $CAN == 0.70 $US

Back when I gamed, you just pick the skin that's the smallest target and run with it.

Not sure larger skins really make the target bigger algorithm wise. Maybe it makes the target more visible/noticeable but that would be about it...

Otherwise, the algorithm would have to adjust for each and every skin in real time once a shot is fired.

LOL! Somebody stole the name "Minux":

https://www.minux.io/

Maybe you meant MINIX?

Minux:

"Minux" commonly refers to a lightweight, minimalist Linux distribution, often based on TinyCore Linux or as a custom Arch Linux metadistribution, rather than the 1987 Unix-like operating system MINIX. These "Minux" versions aim to provide a functional, terminal-based or GUI-driven, and resource-efficient computing environment.

        Minux (TinyCore Base): A 24MB Live CD ISO that includes FLTK/GTK applications, JWM window manager, and various tools.
        Minux (Arch-based): A shell-script-installed metadistribution focusing on a terminal/Vim/tiling window manager environment for learning purposes.
        Alternative Uses: "Minux" also refers to architectural lighting fixtures and extendable console furniture.

Note: Often, users mistakenly type "Minux" when searching for the academic operating system MINIX.

I had no idea we had the Terminator writing Linux software now.

I think that you might be confusing the term (T2) some might be using to abbreviate a movie title (Terminator 2) with the terminator models.

Terminator models (there is no T2):
        T-600 (Series 600): Early, large infiltrator model with rubber skin and a slow, clunky design, making it easier for humans to spot.
        T-700: A precursor to the T-800, featuring a more compact design.
        T-800 / T-850 / T-888: The most common and iconic model (Model 101). It uses living tissue over a titanium hyper-alloy endoskeleton for superior infiltration. The T-850 is a more durable, upgraded version with enhanced power cells.
        T-1000: A highly advanced, "liquid metal" Terminator made of mimetic polyalloy, capable of shapeshifting and forming bladed weapons, though vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
        T-X (Terminatrix): Known as the most sophisticated in the original timeline, it combines a solid endoskeleton with a liquid metal outer body, featuring built-in, heavy plasma weaponry.
        T-3000: A John Connor hybrid created by infecting a human with nanomachines, allowing for superhuman strength and rapid regeneration.
        T-5000: A highly advanced, possibly organic-based machine used by Skynet to infect others.
        Rev-9: A specialized, dual-component model (similar to T-1000 and T-800 capabilities) featured in Dark Fate.

Also, I remember I put a lot of hope in X2GO for regular windows users but experienced the same inconsistencies either on Linux, windows, mac. So ended up bundling ssh, vnc and a batch script instead to them.

Do you have any useful experience with that with a reasonable sample of regular users to provide any direction?

Thanks in advance,

I think you replied to the wrong person :P
I'm completely on your side. ZK made a complete fool of himself.

Someone who has clearly never used a VT outside of X calling someone who obviously has a noob is chef's kiss.

Indeed, sorry about replying to you instead DamnOregonian!

Yeah I remember trying something else which did just that, forgot the name right now, but anyways I found it glitchy and buggy thus less reliable. Oh! I do now X2GO or something like that.

Anyway, I obviously don't enter the -L manually every time and use a couple lines bash script instead.

MaybeRemmina is better, can you really vouch for it? It'd be handy for my customers and users in general.

-Thanks

Hey! You called me a shitbag first and I find "newbie" extremely more polite!

As a consolation price; I just tested it this morning and it's alt-F[1-6] while booting without X GUI and ctrl-alt-[1-6] while in X GUI.

If you switch to no GUI shell from X GUI, then you can get back to X GUI with alt-F7

Take care buddy,

You meant to say CTLR-ALT-F

I see that you are some kind of Linux newbie because you use CTLR-ALT-F to get a shell only when in a GUI like X and if you are in a X GUI, all you need to do is open another terminal to kill any process.

So it's CTRL-F just like I said.

CTLR-ALT-F is only used if X crashes or hangs for some reason and it's the only situation where I use it.

You are welcome!
