  • I wouldn’t say it’s a full on daily, but Bunsenlabs distros. It started out with Lithium because they had a non PAE build and I needed it for an old Pentium M laptop. I ended up really liking it. It’s debian at the end of the day so software support is plentiful. It’s super lightweight. It ran on the pentium m laptop (only 1 gb of ram) without much issue. It’s also baby’s first foray into window managers as it used openbox.

    I ended up installing it on my other old laptop that has an 8th gen i7. I’ve been pretty happy with it as a result.

    I.have 2 gripes but idk if it’s Bunsenlabs’s fault. I had an nvme ssd that refused to play ball with it, a Samsung PM991A nvme ssd. I couldnt work with it at all. Using gparted to format it was a no go as Gparted would just die. I know that line of ssds is problematic in the hackintosh community. Not surprised that it sucks here. Also trying to disable the lid close is impossible. Tried cli, can’t find my lid close sensor. It might be because it’s a x360 laptop so it’s a lot more complex lid detection wise.







  • I know for HP machines, the bios updater exe can be decompressed and you can just get the bios image and the signature file from that.

    Idk what machine you have, but at least for an older aspire laptop my friend has, there is a bios download.

    If you follow instructions to make bios recovery media, you can update your bios through that.

    Edit: that Acer laptop you have doesn’t even show up on Acer’s support page. Supposedly it’s sold as an Acer aspire a something or other. If you search based on your snid, you should be able to get to a downloads page.

    Also clevo seems to make this laptop, according to the Acer India webpage I found for it

    I’m an ecology major and that came up a lot in the papers I read. It largely shows up in forest ecology papers, which should have an overlap with chronic wasting disease, considering that deer populations have had this for a while and deer play a huge role in forest ecology.

    First time my senior seminar class encountered it in an assigned paper, we all asked why that particular acronym.

    It’s been largely a meme in that seminar class as a result.

    Prions are quite stable, and also they don’t need to stay in the soil for long, just enough to get reconsumed. Supposedly that’s how CWD (chronic wasting disease, not coarse woody debris), is spread among deer.

    Edit: in context with composting, overall temps would be higher in such a pit but not by much. Its anywhere from room temp to 140F/60C. Prion destruction is a lot higher temp wise. As for bacteria in the pile, maybe? It might be more likely to become meaningfully degraded in a compost pile instead of normal soil.

    As for cwd prion bio accumulation, it’s been hypothesized but not demonstrated (like grass picking it up from the soil itself). It’s spread in saliva and indirectly from the environment which is probably why you shouldn’t feed deer in areas with cwd and explains a lot of the spread. Also apparently the scrapie prion can endure for 16 years. Wtf.
