Not everybody works in USA.


A quick Google search says Spanish yearly tomato production is 4x - 5x bigger than Netherlands'. I don't think your example, albeit possible, is correct.


So, just under the drawer full of Pi's and clones, I have another drawer with mediatek tablets and phones, most of them with a broken screen. It's there any progress out there to be able to install armbian/openwrt/whatever linux on them?


Not much, at least not directly. But there's https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/ which is great.


postmarketOS is usually leading the way there. I'd check their devices page and see if anyone's got them working yet. Although I think mediatek stuff tends to be harder to support.

Spain here: everybody around me gets surprised when I say I have 6,5kW installed, they think is crazy high. A quick google search tells me our average is between 3,45kW and 4,6kW.

Is not just "slightly better" in some cases. An obvious one is repeated files. If RAR encounters a file ten times, it will compress once and store it and nine pointers. lzma and zstd guis i've tested will store ten compressed copies. It happens all the time in backups.

A bunch of compression formats do that. Even zip files can, which leads to interesting tricks like:

Handling multiple identical files is certainly desirable - but this is not the "core" compression algo. Its a cute optimization trick...

It depends on dictionary size, word size, the actual data etc.


No portable package for windows. "All configured authentication methods failed".


There's no language called Delphi. There's an IDE named Delphi for creating applications in Object Pascal.


The dialect of object orientation that Delphi compiles is different than object pascal. It's pretty safe to call Delphi a language.


Furthermore I'd venture to say it's quite the opposite as in there is no programming language called Object Pascal, but only a paradigm and Delphi, FPC and Pascal For Windows are direct implementation of Pascal with Visual Object in mind.


Any luck installing it within a container in a Synology NAS?


Well, an option if you don't mind losing ADSL(1) and wifi from your ADSL router.

(1) It's not clear: the docs mention an Annex working but it's not the same as the one the hardware provides?


Downvoting this comment, wich usually pops up whenever somebody talks about the dots in hn, won't make the problem disappear. I too receive emails for someone who created an account with my namesurname but with a dot.


That's not possible. As has already been discussed in this thread, you cannot create another email that is the same but with dots. Google will consider it a duplicate and tell you the address is already taken.
