That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the "move fast and break things" nonsense.
Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).
It used to be BRIC (Brazil, India, China, Russia) or BRICS (same + South Africa). In the article, it has been extended again to other nations, therefore "so-called" because its membership is not the same anymore. Also, the membership seems very informal, it's just a bunch of countries maintaining ties and having discussions, not a real group of countries, with its own set of rules and institutions.
Once you understand Slackware, you realize it is really simple and stable. It comes with an excellent selection of software in the base install, and does not contain any "surprises". I have had uptime in the 200-300+ days range on my home server, updates and security patches are quick and painless, etc.
In other words, it is a Linux optimized for usability and Unix compatibility, not necessarily user friendliness. It assumes you know what you are doing and gets out of your way.
Still using Slackware to this day.
So... Yeah.
Pornitor! For all your... ... ... ... "Viewing" needs.
Yeah, I should read what I write before posting... 😉
I have done quite a few martial arts. Anyone who tells you you can learn X and fight against someone who is armed (knife or gun) is simply spouting B.S.
If someone pulls out a gun on you, give that person what he wants and pray you are not going to end up shot anyway.
If someone pulls out a knife on you, again, don't try to be a hero: give that person what he wants. Don't play hero, especially if the guy holding the knife seems to know what he is doing.
Martial arts are just a way to train your body and your mind, both trainings are valuable in and out of themselves. They will keep you calm in a tense situation, they may even save your life since no one wants to mess with a dude that keeps his cool. Ultimately, a street fight can be avoided just by looking calm and composed.

How do I configure my Linux, on a laptop, to consume as little battery as possible?
A bit of context: one of my laptop ran Ubuntu, with acceptable battery drain (up to 3h30 of usage, running desktop applications: Firefox, terminal, vim, etc). This is a high-end laptop: 12 AMD Ryzen + AMD Rembrandt.
I switched to open use, and now battery drains in one hour, running the exact same applications. Installed tuned, selected power save, tried power top, applied different parameters, etc, but no result: battery still dies after 1h. No improvement at all.
I am going to investigate on my own, but any help is greatly appreciated.
Not really at much risk... YET.
Give it another 6 months or so.
