Nothing. We’re a country of ~350 million diverse people who believe lots of different things. And this question seems in very bad faith from a 21 minute old account.
I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Instead of calling it “Minecraft” we’d have to call it “Generic Danish children’s pixelated building block software”
Lego, or as the BBC has to refer to it: “Generic Danish interlocking children’s building set.”

I just keep supporting open source and following the forks as needed. Otherwise, I’m self-hosting what I can and going lo-fi where I can’t.
Also: !oldmanyellsatcloud@dubvee.org for all your “ranting about how modern tech sucks” needs.


I just do a spritz onto a tack cloth


I pretty much use this stuff on everything. Spray it on the cloth, though, not the screen.

For the ports, I just use compressed air.


Yes, please!
The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.
The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.


It’s technically correct when referring to what body the ship itself is orbiting though weirdly worded I’ll admit. Humans have not orbited another body besides earth since Apollo 17 in 1972. Though I don’t think this mission will actually orbit the moon in the traditional sense and is more of a manned flyby. Still, they’ll be captured into lunar orbit even if they’re effectively going to turn around and go home right after by not completing orbital insertion.


How did I not know this was happening? God, it’s like the few bits of good/cool news we get is all buried under the horror and rage.


Why do you do this? The drive-by spam/flurry of posts and account nukes? It’s beyond old. Please stop.


This is gonna be like how Putin stole a Superbowl ring isn’t it?


Hard to quantify it, so bear with me.
Not so much a specific genre or distribution medium as much as “the artist/band was born after 9/11”. Like, there are some bands that have been around forever and still putting out new stuff and that’s mostly fine (though I don’t necessarily like all of it) but anything overly electronic is basically a hard pass for me.


Oh yeah, I’m the same. It just gets rarer and rarer each year that I find something I can enjoy. Objectively, it has nothing to do with the quality of modern music (well, maybe a little lol) just the styles changing and my taste not keeping up.


Yeah, I did Docker swarm on an older cluster of thin clients I had ~10 years ago but even that was overkill. I’ve avoided Kubernetes for the same reason.


Government surplus auction. Had to get power supplies and SSDs for them separately but still less expensive than what most used ones go for elsewhere.


I’m now running 9 of the Dell equivalents to those, and they’re doing well. Average 15-20 watts at normal load and usually no more than 30-35 watts running full tilt. 5 of them are unprovisioned but I got a good deal on them for $25/each so I couldn’t pass them up :shrug:.
Attempting to cable-manage the power bricks for more than 1 of these is the worst part of using them. The only life pro tip I can offer is to ditch the power bricks and buy a 65W USB-C power delivery adapter that’s in the “wall wart” style and also one of the USB-C to Lenovo power adapter cords. Those make cable management so much better.




I would like to think so.


Most contemporary music sounds like shit. I try to stay current to at least within the last 3 years, but the older I get, the more it just sounds like shit.
South Park did an episode about it, and they were spot on.


Good morning. How are you?
Fine, and you?
Technically that was two lies because I did not care how they were doing.


I downgraded from used enterprise gear to those ultra small form factor PCs. They sip power well enough on their own that I haven’t really bothered tuning anything. I suppose I could cap the frequency with cpufrequtils and set the governor to conservative rather than on-demand (I do this with my battery-powered RasPi projects) but I’m not sure how much difference that’ll make for my servers.
In the past, I had Docker Swarm setup and automation to collapse the swarm down to a single machine (powering the other ones down and back on with WoL) but that was more trouble than it was worth. On average load, the USFF PCs run at about 15 watts and don’t usually peak above 30 unless they’re rebooting or doing something very heavy. Even transcoding doesn’t break 20 watts since I’m using hardware acceleration.
The biggest power savings I found that was worth the effort was to just get rid of the enterprise gear, switch from VMs to Docker containers where possible, and get rid of stuff I’m not using (or only run it on-demand).
The only remaining enterprise power suck I have left is my managed switch. It’s a 2005-era dinosaur that’s loud and power hungry, but it’s been a workhorse I’m having a hard time parting with.
I’ve used SA for over 10 years and am happy with it. It’s a bit of a pain to get set up and set to train, but otherwise still works well for me.
I’ve also heard good things about rspamd but I still haven’t even tried it out yet.
