The company operates 27 gas carriers, a significant portion of which are specialized Arc7-class icebreaking tankers. Such vessels are used for operations in the Arctic and to serve the Russian Yamal LNG project.

According to Financial Times estimates, since the beginning of 2025, Dynagas has transported over 10 million metric tons of Russian liquefied natural gas across 11 vessels, completing 144 voyages.

The Greek side claims that it is virtually impossible to redeploy Arc7-class specialized vessels to other routes. If sanctions are imposed, the company may be forced to sell them to buyers outside the West. The cost of a single such tanker is estimated at approximately $300 million.

If the gas infrastructure that they service gets hit the way the oil infrastructure has and the ships have nothing to transport, Dynagas might regret not having sold the ships off prior to that evaporation of demand.

Prior sanctions will have allowed a (relatively) ordered exit for European consumers, before Russia stopped exporting gasoline and diesel due to infrastructure damage, prioritizing what remained for itself.

If you own an expensive ship that can't be used on any other route, you may not want to be sitting on it if that route becomes non-viable.

Smartphone apps were competing with teachers for student attention. It was time to stop playing defense and go on the offense.

If you want to encourage political violence, I'm not very supportive of that.

Thanks. Looks like I'm subscribed to both, and just hit the first when searching. The latter does seem to be more active.

And I'm not trying to single out those people. Looking at that community list, I have probably seven or eight pocketknives myself (including two Spydercos), several flashlights (including a tri-18650-cell, Anduril-firmware flashlight), probably a dozen fountain pens (including one gold nib-equipped one), and a multitool that I carry with me. Those are, if I am to be honest, unnecessary toys

I would be at most very mildly inconvenienced if every one of those disappeared tomorrow. Just saying that before we get too enthusiastically involved in bagging on the middle-class white woman who spends $10/year on a not-really-necessary fad waterbottle...maybe everyone should consider their own unnecessary stuff. If they're truly more disciplined and ascetic, fair enough. But I think on the "toy" scale, the fad waterbottle probably isn't especially bad.

They're expensive because it's the last one you'll ever need

Every 3 years a new water bottle brand completely oneshots middle class white women like clockwork

There are lots of targeted products and demographics for which this sort of thing is true. My guess is that this is probably very far from the most costly example, though.

My water bottle

I got one as part of a kit for my bike

is determinedly untrendy and plastic, but it looks like these Owala things are $29. If I got one of those instead and did so every three years, that'd be $10/year. Is it necessary or financially optimal? No, probably not, but for perspective, a large pizza is about $30 where I am. The water bottle is probably a healthier unnecessary purchase than the pizza...and I get a pizza a lot more frequently than one every three years.

I mean, the !flashlight@lemmy.world or the !fountainpens@lemmy.world or the !knives@sopuli.xyz or the !EDC@sopuli.xyz people all have their own often-not-really-necessary items that they get and carry around

and most of those tend to be more guy things

that in all honesty are mostly for fun. You could buy a number of these Owala water bottles for what a nice Spyderco knife might run, and you don't need to pay what a Spyderco knife runs to get a sharp bit of metal to have with you.

I don't know enough to do informed commentary as to the domestic political side or merits one way or another, but I do have to say that I think that United24 is probably a factor in Ukraine's war effort and that it is not fantastic from the standpoint of the war to have them not publishing. I mean, it's not a missile factory, no, but...

My Linux distro already comes with a PDF merger. Let's get some PDF files to merge.

$ for i in $(seq 1 5); do echo $i >$i.txt; pandoc -o $i.pdf $i.txt; done

Now I've got five PDF files to merge.

$ pdfunite *.pdf merged.pdf

And done.

WebM works with image-rs (as long as you don't exceed your home instance's upload size limits).

I can't guarantee that every client can view it properly

that's on the client's author

but it'll show up in the Lemmy Web UI.

$ wget https://gnuplotting.org/figs/bessel.gif
$ ffmpeg -i bessel.gif bessel.webm

Try downloading that and then uploading it in a comment to to your own instance; it should work unless pawb.social limits the size.

True, though they did get into the NASDAQ-100 early and the Russell indices early.

Well, a large audio buffer size for music is basically irrelevant and for VLC or MPV playing video, I think that they look at the buffer size to compensate for audio/video sync, and can have their buffer size increased (for mpv, it's --pipewire-buffer=<milliseconds>).

But that's not gonna fix it for everything, and you'd rather not have games breaking up either, I'd imagine.

Let's see...what can measure scheduling latency...

If you install the linux-perf package (well...that's what it's called in Debian...looks like it might be just perf in Bazzite) then you'll have the perf command.

If you run:

$ sudo perf sched record -- sleep 5

That'll sit there for 5 seconds and record all of the times a process was waiting to run and how long it took.

Then you can view that with:

$ sudo perf sched latency

You'll get something like:

That should give you a way to measure how long it's actually taking for a process to run once it wants to (the "Max delay ms" column). The buffer length is gonna need to cover that. Lemme go find something that'll give some idea of what kernel code is actually running...couple utilities that should do that. If it's some driver using a lot of time, might give a hint as to what kernel code is running.

looks

Ah, okay.

$ sudo perf record -ga

Until you kill it with Control-C, it'll sample and record what's running in perf.data. Then:

$ sudo perf report

And you can expand individual categories with "+".

I can't say "look at X, and that's it", but if something's running in the kernel, it should show up there. If it's, say, something with "nvidia" or similar in its name, that could be a hint that it's your video driver.

EDIT: Also, OP, I hate to bail on you, but I have to get some household chores done that I can't put off any longer, so I'm going to have to disappear for now...
