  • Lebanon itself not so much. Hezbollah, a Iran-financed militia that started as just a paramilitary group and evolved into a political party in Lebanon, however, controls various areas of Lebanon and kept launching rockets. UN resolution 1701 attempted to stop the constant fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. All parties agreed to it, but Hezbollah didn’t implement the rather important points of disarming the militia and retreating from the border with Israel. They also kind of kept shooting rockets at Israel to the point where the border area is mostly uninhabited by now.

    systemd gets stuck because it’s trying to mount two separate partitions to the same mount point

    Uh… Sounds like it’s not really systemd’s fault, your setup is just terrible.

    I’ve tried fixing it, but all I did was break it more.

    If you’re unable to fix it, maybe get somebody else? Like, this doesn’t sound like it’s an unfixable issue…




  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage

    The “5-dimensional” descriptor is only a marketing term, since the device has 3 physical dimensions and no exotic higher dimensional properties. The fractal/holographic nature of its data storage is also purely 3-dimensional. The size, orientation and three-dimensional position of the nanostructures comprise the so-called five dimensions.

    ☹️

    /edit

    Further down in the article it is a little clearer…

    In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it.

    The website even lists a little more…

    In order to increase the data capacity of optical storage, there is the potential of storing more than one bit in a single voxel by implementing multiplex technology. The recently developed 5D optical storage technique uses birefringence as an extra degree of freedom – the property of a medium whereby its refractive index varies depending on the polarization and direction of incident light. Birefringence generated by the orientation and size of optical nano-gratings offers two extra dimensions, providing much higher storage capacities.

    So, it’s supposedly three dimensions of position plus angle and (maybe?) polarity. So, it seems to be more than just a marketing gimmick, but I can’t find any information about the resolution of those additional two parameters, so I can’t tell if a single voxel stores two bits or two terabits.








  • How is Spotify supposed to “handle” anything here if the rights owner tells them that this is how it works? Like, not only didn’t the first rights owner give them any means to stay updated with the rights, the new rights owner didn’t notify them either that any rights were transferred to them before taking them to court. The only way to properly handle this would have been to tell them to get fucked, but that’s not really an alternative if we’re talking about the streaming rights for Eminem. This all seems like a setup to sue them… But who am I to tell? I’m just a jerk who read an article online. You know who should decide whether or not this was a scheme to drag Spotify to court? A judge.

    Oh, wait, they did. Guess it’s decided, then.
