Every single one of your posts so far has been all about how special and wonderful YOU are.
That is why you are a snowflake. You insist on trying to be special, and to try justifying your specialness.
I AM glad that you do acknowledge that your behavior is not indicative of the human norm, however-- It spares me having to listen to you preach about how good the world would be if everyone just worked a little harder, because it acknowledges that this is a total farce.
I am not "Lazy" as you put it though. I simply am more picky about how I choose to spend my time, and have different judgments on what constitutes a good use of that time. I am quite industrious, with many self-rewarding and even useful hobbies. It is not like I sit on my duff and do nothing and think this is some high ideal. I just do not fancy the idea of being forced to spend even more time working for a profiteering employer, because of the short-sighted gleams in people's eyes, as they count the hours of free time they will not be enjoying.
I do not value money so highly, in other words. As such, your slavish devotion to the stuff, and your idiotic pride in your early retirement as a feather in your cap, do not impress me.
No, you will work longer and harder at your job, and get paid the same amount, and die younger from the increased stress and demands on your body.
Remember, this is a scenario where everyone-- and I mean EVERYONE-- is able to do this reliably/affordably. You will not be unique in having the increased time. This will have the effect of increasing the workforce's size-- at least as far as what it will do to "Dollars paid per hour of work". It will devalue labor. You will have to work more hours to compensate, as will everyone else.
See also, how the US went from "A single spouse makes enough to provide a good living to a stay at home spouse and raise children on it too" to "Both partners need good employment for that to happen." as a result of both partners entering the workforce as the new norm after the second world war. There was a brief period where wages stayed high and households with both partners working became wealthier, but the market reacted to this anomaly with increased costs, and eventually contracted wages as corrections to that anomaly.
The same thing will happen if everyone sleeps less.
The notion that you will get to spend all that time doing whatever you want is absurd. It wont happen that way. You will spend a significant fraction of that time working longer for less pay, as the market adjusts to the new normal.
The problem is that you will not get that for your sacrifice. You will instead get to enjoy the same standard of living you currently enjoy, but with spending more time at work for your trouble, and will likely end up using the rest of the time you made this way working in the gig economy to try to get ahead (like everyone else), driving down the costs of labor through market saturation.
Those were sardonic rhetorical questions. If you think you will get those things, you are mistaken. The forces that power the capitalist system and its markets will see to it, because those forces and that system seek to extract maximal value from all exchanges already. You will not have any new surplus of value. You will only devalue the labor you already do.
I see that you DO NOT UNDERSTAND the question AC, Or rather, do not understand the implication of the question. Here, I will spell it out for you.
A person's ability to "Have a life" in the modern capitalist world, is based on how much of a person's energy and productive potential they are willing to exchange for the materials required to feel that sense of fullfillment and enjoyment. (EG, to pay for food that actually tastes good, or for housing that isn't in a festering roach hole.)
The laws of supply and demand (Absent greedy actors that can game the system, which certain do exist) naturally cause an equilibrium, where the aggregate average amount of work people on average are willing to do sets the market value of labor, and since both the buyer and the seller of that labor both want to maximize the economy of that transaction, that equilibrium is maintained even when disruptions happen (like automation). This is because if one side or the other gains advantage, it causes either increased supply (which drives down profit potentials) or increased demand (which drives up prices.)
If *EVERYONE* suddenly only needed 4 hours of sleep, instead of 8, everyone would have an additional 4 hours of total time available to them. However, the reality of the marketplace would drive down wages (because people are working more hours) and drive up prices (because people have more time to purchase/consume things, increasing total consumption, and thus driving up demand)., and do so in a fashion that preserves that equilibrium.
In short, you would spend the same percentage of your time awake slaving at your job (that statistically most people hate) as you do now. If you spend 9 hours out of every 24 hour day doing that slaving now, (a little under a 3rd of your total day, with the others spent sleeping, eating/bathing/getting dressed/commuting/etc and what counts as free time), you can expect to work an additional 1 and a half hours every day (or more), and not see a single penny increase in your savings for the trouble.
IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU WANT?
So no, this is NOT a stupid question. It's an insightful question that you failed to grasp the meaning of.
"My single, and notedly exceptional to the rule claim obviates your statement, because I'm totally representative of the masses, except I'm not!"
Yeah... That's real enlightening. Try this one on instead.
After the second world war, women were regularly in the workplace, having migrated there during the war in order to keep their households and the nation's economy running. When the war was over, BOTH spouses were now working, which previously was not the case.
There was an initial boom is available money from having both partners earning an income, but guess what happened?
The market adapted to the increased income, costs of living ballooned, wages stagnated and contracted, and where are we now?
Just TRY and have a decent quality of living with a stay at home spouse. I dare you.
Reason? The markets for commodities (including labor) adapted to the new equilibrium. The SAME FUCKING THING will happen if everyone now gets to sleep less, and spend more time awake. YOU WILL NOT HAVE MORE FREE TIME AS A PERCENTAGE OF TIME AWAKE. You *WILL* spend a proportionally representative amount of that time working your ass off for even less pay, as a result of the increased labor availability. That's what markets do.
So go take your ignorant retired snowflake self, and stop pretending that "If everyone worked just a LITTLE harder---" because that is not what happens when EVERYONE does something. It ONLY works the way it did for you, when SOME do so, and OTHERS do not. In short, your early retirement came because others refused to emulate your behavior, and your employer found your behavior more desirable and paid accordingly. The current reality is that many if not most people work additional jobs in the cesspit known as "The gig economy" to make ends meet, and as more people do that, the market with adapt, forcing EVERYONE to do it as prices of goods and services go up, and wages continue to stagnate/go down over time compared to that inflation.
Do you think that if you spend less time asleep, you will somehow get more personal time?
Do you think that if you sleep less, you will be able to do more work? If so, who actually profits from that? Do you not realize that labor is a commodity, and like any commodity that gluts the market, it suddenly being even more available will just lower its trade value?
The big bottleneck is the controller itself, which manipulates the flash. SDCard uses a serial protocol, not a parallel data IO direct to the flash chip. The flash chip could be hella fast, but if there is a cheap and slow controller driving it.. That's like putting an SSD on a SATA I interface.
The other, is assuring that write operations are efficient. If you write 1MB of data as a barrage of 512 byte sectors (such as with some variants of NTFS), you will burn the card up very quickly, because the controller inside the card natively writes a much larger chunk than 512 bytes. (often closer to 2 or 4 MB, depending on the card!)
Peppering the drive with shitloads of 512 byte writes causes the card to overwrite 2 to 4 MB of flash cells EACH TIME YOU WRITE.
Traditional file systems are not good for these consumer flash devices. exFAT allows for massive allocation unit sizes to alleviate the problem, but comes at the expense of a single FAT, and other problems.
PROPERLY FORMATTED EXT4 works fine for the most part, but what you really want is something like JFFS2.
Personally, I think I will just get an increase in the number of people who want me to remove the bullshit for them.
When they ask why this was installed by default, I will just point out how our state government decided that seeing boobies and dicks was so terrible that it necessitated installing bullshit on their devices to prevent it.
Makes me wonder how these idiots feel about people taking a shower. "OH NO! I SAW MY OWN NAUGHTY BITS!"
Really, this is just premium dumb-assery right here. What else do I expect from a state run by morons?
This is true, but I was looking for information on something only tangentially related to NTLM password handshakes (IIRC, I was looking for information on Kerberos), and was exposed to the notion of sniffing and cracking the hash on the side; It was not what I was looking for. Hence, passively.
And again, a long time ago.
And I agree. Actively looking is a better means of information retrieval. I just was not actively looking for this when I was exposed to it.
It was my understanding that hints about the password (Specifically, a one-way hash) were sent back in an encoded form from the AD server when a client attempts a login, and that this information can be wire sniffed.
Using that info, the password can be derived offline, then a single attempt is used to gain access.
Been a long time since I passively looked up NTLM password cracking though. I probably have some details wrong here.
If you are serious, and the hardware is so old that not even vista or win7 can run... well.... Perhaps make a subtle prod at your company's IT department.
As for personal use; If you set up a flat disk image in something like virtualpc with emulated hardware that closely matches what is actually in your real system-- say 500mb in size, install win9x on it, turn on drivespace3, enable ultrapack on everything, install whatever additional features or software you intend to use, then defrag it very well...
You can then add an entry to a linux boot loader, like Grub2 or syslinux, to load a syslinux module like it was a kernel image-- called memdisk.
memdisk is a realmode ramdisk block driver that hooks software interrupt 13 (disk controller), so to old OSes that use realmode accesses, it looks like an old 8bit IDE or MFM controller. This includes win9x, and it will happily boot from it without any additional drivers.
You can thus add a ramdisk hosted win9x install to your list of boot options without creating a partition for it, and dont have to worry about it getting "unstable over time", because each boot is fresh and clean.
In the intended use case, (industrial system with makeshift replacement flash memory storage solution that does not act the same as a traditional disk, and will burn out if you try to use it that way), you set up syslinux on an ext2 volume containing the disk image. It automatically just boots memdisk and loads the disk image into memory, and then boots. This has the added advantage of windows never scribbling on persistent storage, running balls-burning fast, and the system being basically immune to being hosed up. (a reboot is the same as a fresh reinstall. Good as new.)
Modern computers will have issues here. win9x requires real mode, and BIOS routines. Modern EFI systems do not have this infrastructure unless they have a CMS module baked in. More and more modern systems lack a CSM in the EFI implementation, meaning you cannot use grub or syslinux to load memdisk and a disk image to boot from. You cant install 9x natively either.
Again, in all seriousness--- Ask your IT group to get you some better hardware, and something newer.
Not necessarily. Plastic is a category of materials based on their mechanical properties. Specifically, their plasticity--- especially thermoplasticity.
A variety of materials can be derived from plant feed stocks such as starches or waxes, which have plastic properties, and can reliably be referred to as plastics. One such material is rayon. it is chemically reprocessed cellulose.
It's called a joke Kendall. If I have to explain it, it stops being funny.
But, since you seem to be serious-- If you take the time t click on my user name, and read my back post history, you will find a decided lack of the thing you are accusing me of.
I thought the predecessor to plastic straws were paper ones?
While many feel this necessitates having straws that turn into cellulose pulp in your mouth, this is not true. Coating the paper with a biodegradable wax, like carnuba, would solve the problem nicely, as would the use of modified starch coatings.
I agree that biodegradable plastics are ideal for disposable cutlery and pals, but they also tend toward being brittle and crack prone, which makes straws problematic.
For much of packaging that currently uses plastic, we can be using a variety of other, much more environmentally sensible materials, which would do the job just as well-- not necessarily biodegrading plastics.
And yeah, we SHOULD be doing it everywhere.
Industry doesn't want to do it. Plastic is a very versatile and inexpensive material that lends itself very well to commercial mass production. Getting food vendors away from that inexpensive and versatile packaging is hard. Especially when the packaging companies themselves lobby to deter that thinking.
Don't get me wrong. I have done some very silly things with win9x instances, including getting an instance of it to run entirely out of a syslinux memdisk, with drivespace compression turned on.
For the most part however, such silly things had some sliver of a sensible reason d'etre: Quite a few industrial systems run on 9x, even today. (vinyl cutters, CNC laser cutters, waterjet systems, metal detectors, even x-ray systems.) The hardware to keep those old systems running is aging and falling apart (IDE disks especially.) Being able to boot reliably and consistently in a guaranteed clean fashion each and every time with modern replacement parts (SDcard to IDE adapters and pals), makes such experimentation useful to at least a handful of people, making the silliness worthwhile. Learning how to set those legacy deployments up in "Hard to break" configurations is useful, and can be very helpful to the poor souls who have no choice but to work with OSes that ruled the earth in the age of the dinosaurs.
This on the other hand, is just DosBox running on what could possibly be the most inefficiently written platform in existence, with internet connectivity just a stone's throw away.
Considering that dosbox is already multi-platform, AND has a mature x86 emulation core all of its own, **AND** can boot win9x from a disk image natively--- What reason does this even have to exist, except as a hobby project that is not meant to see the light of day?

Thank you sir, have a nice day.
A better question:
Why exactly, do you want to sleep less?
Do you think that if you spend less time asleep, you will somehow get more personal time?
Do you think that if you sleep less, you will be able to do more work? If so, who actually profits from that? Do you not realize that labor is a commodity, and like any commodity that gluts the market, it suddenly being even more available will just lower its trade value?
Why exactly do you want to sleep less?
There are some cards with more than a single flash chip inside them, but they are always full size sdcards.
Here's an example.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...
Most will only be a single chip though.
The big bottleneck is the controller itself, which manipulates the flash. SDCard uses a serial protocol, not a parallel data IO direct to the flash chip. The flash chip could be hella fast, but if there is a cheap and slow controller driving it.. That's like putting an SSD on a SATA I interface.
wear leveling is indeed part of the solution.
The other, is assuring that write operations are efficient. If you write 1MB of data as a barrage of 512 byte sectors (such as with some variants of NTFS), you will burn the card up very quickly, because the controller inside the card natively writes a much larger chunk than 512 bytes.

PROPERLY FORMATTED EXT4 works fine for the most part, but what you really want is something like JFFS2.
Then you switch to non-metallic, non-conductive, non-toxic, non-flammable opaque marker.
