  • If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

    But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

    Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

    The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.

    Yep, sharing is caring, gotta smoke with ya homies ya know. 👍

    Nah, to be perfectly honest, I only ever tried the gas mask thing once at a friend’s house back when I was like 17. Put it this way, I don’t ever need to get that stoned again.

    But yeah, nobody smelled anything but weed that night…






  • LOL, I’ve actually tried Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Puppy Linux, DSL, Tiny Core, and even the true outlier (not quite Linux or Unix though) Microsoft Xenix before. I’ve probably even tried a couple other distros before but only very briefly.

    It takes effort to break them in any way that I can’t manage to figure out how to fix.

    I settled on Linux Mint as my daily runner, but one of these days I might have to give TempleOS a spin in a virtual machine…






  • As a one time only event, as a first and a last, I wish I could go back and change the last words I ever spoke with my late father.

    In the hospital bed, he was fussing at me because I told him that I was cleaning trash and old food from his house. I didn’t expect him to fuss, I was only doing the right thing ya know.

    He passed away the next morning in hospital. I’m still sad to this day that our final conversation wasn’t more positive ☹️😭
