  • officially informed when Brazil achieved enrichment capabilities in the 80s

    That one was about the official nuclear program, that wasn’t intended to create nuclear weapons. The Brazilian nuclear weapons program was a secret out of the clearance level of the official nuclear program so there was never any interaction between them.

    And yes, it was in the later 80s, when Brazil was trying to repair the damaged relations with Argentina.



  • During the last dictatorships in South America, Brazil and Argentina were in a bit of an arms race.

    One day, the Brazilian government created a nuclear program that over the course of several years managed to enrich some nanograms of uranium. The Argentinian gov started their own program as a response.

    When both countries published their data, the Argentinians had plenty of spying documents saying that the Brazilian program had incredibly security, they could only discover a small lab and some people digging missile silos.

    (And yeah, the Argentinians managed to enrich milligrams of uranium, beating Brazil by 2 orders of magnitude.)

    Tried Suse and Red Hat before Fedora existed… Also a lot of stuff that isn’t on this graph, and made a system from scratch two times because of strict requirements.

    No plans of moving from Debian. Why TF can one argue that those two are more productive? The only reason to use Fedora in particular is if you are stuck with it due to some hardware or contractual requirement.





  • In a high-level, you don’t design them anymore. You write them, in code. The compiler turns your code into the chip masks, and has an optimizer that will mangle the hell out of the relatively simple stuff you wrote.

    In a lower level, that compilation is not really done automatically, and people will intervene in lots of places, and AFAIK, how people divide it and interact with it are well guarded secrets from the chip makers.



  • You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

    The government is watching us constantly. There’s no doubt about this and if you think it’s not, you are the crazy one living in fantasy land.

    At the same time, how do you think a basement full of beans would help? The entire path from “the government is bad” to “therefore I’ll have a hole full of food where I can live by myself for years” is dumb magical thinking that can be shown to not work by simply looking around or reflecting about oneself for a second.

    There are many valid reasons to be concerned about a disaster. And yet nobody doing your traditional prepping for anything larger than a tornado deserves respect.






  • Do you think those really tiny bearings used for the extruder axis’ can make such a sound?

    Absolutely, yes. If it never made that sound and started with age, do not go sanding anything. Clean and lubricate again and look for broken parts.

    Any point of contact can be making that noise. Including the motor, yes, but everything else is more likely.
