Easy to remember D has one hump like a dromedary B has two like a bactrian.

VisionFive 2 isn’t going to blow the doors off anything but it is very stable with Fedora 40. Also, I can’t speak for the Mars, but the VisionFive 2 has NVME and it works fine booting from it with the patches that were accepted for 6.11.

Hopefully it does well and we see some newer versions of the board.

VisionFive2 is one of the better riscv boards at the moment. It’s not super fast, but it can boot from sd card at least from 6.8. No PCI-E so most the USB is absent, as is NVME, etc. There are patches to get all that going that apply neatly to 6.9 and If I’m not wrong they’ve been accepted for 6.11, so it’s on the way. u-boot is all set. and grub 2.12 works fine. you can u-boot -> grub 2.12 efi -> linux just fine. It won’t break any speed records, but it is a nice stable riscv device with upstream support landing.

They have different laws they must follow for vpn vs mail. There was a stpry going around about them having to hand over info on someone they were forced to log via their email service. I believe they updated their site to be more explicit about the limitations they have. They maintain that had the person used their VPN to connect to their email there would have been nothing to turn over.

“Proton VPN’s Swiss jurisdiction also confers additional benefits which are favorable for VPN services. In most countries, VPNs can be forced to log as the result of government orders, even if they are by default no-logs. However, within the current Swiss legal framework, Proton VPN also does not have forced logging obligations.

This notably differs from Swiss regulations for other online services such as email which is generally not no-logs and can require IP disclosure in the event of a Swiss criminal investigation. That’s why if your threat model requires hiding your IP from Swiss authorities when using Proton Mail, we recommend using a VPN or Tor.”

I wouldn’t be keen to be test case for any particular VPN, but if you use their secure core servers that are sitting in sweden, iceland, and switzerland you’re probably ok…

2017 Pixelbook with Fedora is a great machine. As the deadline was encroaching for updates (before it was extended) I converted my partners as well, and she’s perfectly happy with it.

They’ve suggested people use VPN to connect to their email service for additional privacy.

They were probably referring to this event, which also mentions their suggestion of using Tor if you need to hide your IP address.

ProtonMail also operates a VPN service called ProtonVPN and points out that Swiss law prohibits the country's courts from compelling a VPN service to log IP addresses. In theory, if Youth for Climate had used ProtonVPN to access ProtonMail, the Swiss court could not have forced the service to expose its "real" IP address. However, the company seems to be leaning more heavily toward recommending Tor for this particular purpose.

A native speaker can correct me, but I believe “Hjelp, vi flyr!” is “Help, we’re flying!”

no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjelp,_vi_flyr!

Google translate seems to screw up with the missing comma as on the IMDB list, but if you add it it translates properly.

no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjelp,_vi_flyr! translate.google.com/?sl=no&tl=en&text=Hj…

Compare with the missing comma. translate.google.com/?sl=no&tl=en&text=Hj…

That’d be maybe, “Hjelp oss å fly!”

Seems supported here: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/…/TranslationMatchmaking

In Norwegian, a whole ton of completely unrelated movies start with the words "Hjelp, vi" ("Help, we"), followed by whatever the main characters in the movie are doing. Airplane - "Help, We're Flying" ...

I was never a Cage fan. Most of my exposure was my SO quoting Moonstruck, which admittedly he is entertaining in. Then I saw this list a time ago and have since watched several of them. Most of the ones I’ve watched have not been a disappointment and he’s really grown on me.

I do like B movies and mst3k stuff, so maybe I’m not the person to be recommending movies, but having said that:

Mandy and Color Out of Space are my favorites. Mandy is nightmare fuel incarnate and I love every minute of it. Color Out of Space comes in a close second. Mom and Dad is amusing, as is Willy’s Wonderland (not on the list above, www.rottentomatoes.com/m/willys_wonderland) where Cage doesn’t say anything through the entire movie.

Pig is good, but sad. I don’t like to watch it. I didn’t love Joe, just unfun as the page above says. Jiu Jitsu was trash, I think also came along after the list above.

He and Pedro Pascal are great in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

It’s not unknown. I’m learning Norwegian and came across the fact that Norway did change in the 1950’s. The last straw was six digit phone numbers and confusion caused by the former way.
