#thumb — Public Fediverse posts

PEOPLE OF EARTH 💎

I may have lost #contact with the people of Earth.

The #Labor Party used to be cooler. People seemed less managed, less branded, less terrified of saying the wrong thing.

I miss something about the 70s and 80s.

Not everything. God no.

But there was a rawness then. We talked to each other. No #social media. No permanent performance. No #algorithm training everyone into public outrage, victimhood stardom, #mob righteousness, or personal marketing.

Just people, in whatever configuration we happened to arrive in.

The early Pride #marches in Sydney. Bodies in the street. Fear, courage, music, awkwardness, sex, politics, friendship, bad #hair, good #boots.

Life was not yet owned by screens. Screens were still a novelty, and modern #algorithms hadn’t been invented yet.

Now everyone seems to be influencing, curating, defending, accusing, branding, reacting, or recovering from being reacted to.

I am aware this is still a lot of words for the average modern #thumb.

But I’m 70. I remember paragraphs.

I don’t #hate the present.

But I do miss the ordinary #human mess before it all became slop.

One for fellow #ARM #Thumb and #gnu #binutils users...
Say I want to load the value "0x22000000" into R3.

Using "LDR R3, =0x22000000" drops the 32bit value in the literal pool, which encodes to 6 bytes.
A better encoding is: "MOVS R3, #0x88, LSLS R3, R3, #22" which saves 2 bytes.

Is there a pseudo-op or macro to generate the best possible encoding with GNU AS?

(I've been spoiled by RISC OS assemblers which kinda can, but now I'm writing code which others need to be able to assemble...)

For some reason and it wasn't installed on my Debian based MX Linux distro.

I've just installed sysstat, the package it comes in, and I have to Thank you for pointing me to the program

#IOstat #USB #USB3 #USB2 #technology #filesystem #ext4 #thumb #drive

@AnachronistJohn @rl_dane

I remember that command from Linux and I've just checked online since I'm on the phone and found this hit

I didn't see that specific switch though

@rl_dane

Up to know I have not seen any USB thumb drive which can write as fast as it reads in practicality

The 64 to 256 GB thumb drives that I work with, write at about 6 to 8 Mbps when they are in sync mode

In the beginning the drive seems to lie and shows speeds that are close to the absolute speed of the USB 3 Connection. In reality is not really a lie because the Linux Operating System loves to cache it's file systems, especially if they're native, like ext4

However the file system warns you never to remove the thumb drive until it's actually done writing. If you use something like Midnight Commander it will show you that the writing speed drops all the way down to six to eight megabytes a second!

That happens on both modern systems and on Old obsolete systems with just USB 2

Nein, Henning kommt aus Münster, die Band wurde auch da gegründet.

Niemals werde ich die H-Blockx vergessen. Genausowenig wie #Thumb und die anderen Bands der deutschen Skatermusik-Szene aus den 90ern.
