If you're just doing an edit on main and push changes, git can do that fine just as well as svn, but no need to run a specific server on your laptop either, and in a client/server basis back to your home pi you just use standard ssh rather than running a special server.
I almost drowned as a kid - in shallow water, and with a swim ring around my waist. I'll explain situation here as a cautionary tale for parents.
That swim ring was a bit loose. I was standing in the water, probably jumping up and down like kids do. Somehow, I lost balance and as my upper body fell to the side the swim ring moved from my waist toward feet. It stayed there and pulled my feet upward while my head went below the water. I was powerless to return to the surface as feet were stuck in that floating ring, forcing me upside down. Fortunately, a family friend noticed the situation and pulled me from the water. Near-death situation, and it looked perfectly safe.
A wave pool almost got me (those should be banned).
A wave took me underwater and there were too many people in the pool for me to easily get back up. I don't fully remember how I got out of it, only that I was pushed underwater (I think I managed to get to the shallower end)
Wave pools fucking terrify me. How can the lifeguards even see if someone is struggling? There's always shit tons of people flailing around and yelling. They genuinely give me anxiety.
You should try this. I was a lifeguard for several years, and I think the key is that there are almost always signs a person can’t actually swim. They cling to a flotation device, they stand up to their tip toes in shallow water, they seem visibly uneasy in the deep. They’re the ones who are going to get in trouble, it’s comparatively quite rare for a strong swimmer to suddenly start drowning.
I didn't know what a wave pool is (I've never been to a water park) but they do seem like an awful idea . Wikipedia says they can be hard to lifeguard:
Safety
Wave pools are more difficult to lifeguard than still pools as the moving water (sometimes combined with sun glare) make it difficult to watch all swimmers. Unlike passive pool safety camera systems, computer-automated drowning detection systems do not work in wave pools.[11] There are also safety concerns in regards to water quality, as wave pools are difficult to chlorinate.
In the 1980s, three people died in the original 8-foot-deep (2.4 m) Tidal Wave pool at New Jersey's Action Park, which also kept the lifeguards busy rescuing patrons who overestimated their swimming ability. On the wave pool's opening day, it is said up to 100 people had to be rescued.[12]
The same thing happened to me, I nearly drowned when I performed poorly on a single wave, and the repeating nature of them kept me under the water for so long I thought I was going to die. I went up to the nearest lifeguard, about 10 feet laterally and 20 feet above the pool, and went "what the fuck?" They were confused. Probably will never go in one again.
My son had a "near drown experience" at ~2yo with a swim ring in a pool.
He somehow jumped from the side and "capsized" ending up with his head underwater, so the ring kept him in that position.
I was playing with my daughter facing the other direction and didn't notice until she pointed him out, I fished him out and he had somehow kept his breath (it was some seconds, not minutes) and kept playing as if nothing happened soon after.
I've been paranoid about my kid around water when he was younger, mostly because this was advice given by my father to me when I was an adolescent, in some context where I was going to be partially responsible for children:
Little kids can drown in as little as 2 inches of water. They can drown a bathtub that's mostly empty.
I'm a good swimmer and the only time I've ever been scared in the water was when I was using one of those damn pool noodles. These colorful toys just love to turn you upside down in the water. They're dangerous as hell.
I was forced to purchase 73EUR priority ticket for few LP records few weeks ago. They don't fit into Wizair specified backpack, so I know it is against the rules if I carry them separately, but come on, it's few hundred grams and they're very slim, don't take any place in overhead storage. So I'm looking forward for this regulation, even if tickets get few euros more expensive, it would be a win for me as LPs are a great souvenir since you remember the journey each time you play it.
Have you tried to install Windows 11 ARM under UTM on Mac? UTM is a kind of open source Parallels. Then you'll run x86 software using Windows' variant of Rosetta. Probably slower than Rosetta but perhaps good enough.
I wanted to play around with Windows 11 for a while now. It boots in UTM just to the degree that I can confirm my suspicions that Windows 11 sucks compared to Windows 10, but is not otherwise usable. (MacBook Air M3, slightly outdated macOS)
In retrospect, playing Rocksmith mostly improved my timing. And made me "keep the song going even if you miss a note". If you're just playing alone, without a metronome, backing track or a band, it's a habit to stop and repeat bad section.
Close friend who was on the spot described it as car or plane running towards you, you don't only hear it, you also feel vibrations in the body creating panic and fear.
All demonstrations of LRAD I heard on youtube were with high pitched sound, not a "whoosh" as witnesses experienced last night in Belgrade. Can these devices play any kind of sound?
What is described by victims, and what can be heard on some recordings from last nights, sounds more like Vortex Cannon:
I’m moderately suspicious of the details some people/articles say. Long story short, there’s 1-4khz audio weapons (LRAD), and microwave/heat based ADS. It appears that both of these were used, a Reddit army vet commented about how that’s apparently the “protocol” as the ADS is strong enough to pick off the last stragglers.
I’m ever so slightly suspicious of the “low frequency sound weapon” aspect because that typically takes a lot of energy (I’m speaking from an audio background). However the reports of feeling uneasy do match that of infrasound… yet typically (based on what I’ve read) infrasound doesn’t have an instant reaction but takes some time for people to feel it.
Thank you. Before I saw your reply, I saw this discussion and links on r/acoustics which in retrospect seems to be the best likely answer. It being a cannon (and not a speaker based device) would mean it’s closer to a controlled explosion than a speaker playing (really loud) music.
There’s still the questions of “how is it so small” (apparently) but at least some aspects are answered now.
It's incorrect that Serbia has Russian-controlled government. Why would you say that? We're quite capable of having our own independent dictator, thank you. If anything, Vučić was widely supported by EU. One of our problems is that there's almost no pressure on government from any external side - not from US, not from EU, not from Russia, not from China. Opposition is entirely internal.
Pressure from the outside can always lead to polarization and finger pointing as it can't be expected (reasonably) that the other country doesn't in fact has a hidden agenda. So I think it is good there is no pressure from the outside, the government can't say "but it's the evil X that pressure us and supports the riots!"
I do hope something comes out of the protests (even if it is just the government being a bit less corrupt), without more horrible violence. But moving societies is hard and many times painful.
