Nah, if that’s the goal they’ll just use Neutrino Bombs (look them up, they’re crazy what they’re designed to do)

Ml is a ticking time bomb. Mali is starting to take back its domain and lemmy.ml could go offline at any time. OP specifically noted that too.

as recently as 2005

You do realize that’s almost 20 years ago. That’s like saying “well you realize in 1985…” Back in 2005.

(The 2000s have been a blur for me time wise too)

I often times wonder if an extraterrestrial threat would be a unifying factor or if people would still be selfish unless it affected them. The pandemic was the closest we’ve seen to a world level threat recently and it just increased selfishness IMO (at least in the US)

Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

Oops. Didn’t read the way it was phrased. Long time Sync user.

I’m just waiting for post functionality, but this is the Sync that I know and love.

Yeah Sync hasn’t gone done yet, it’s been the instance which lately is lemmy.world being the target of DDoS attacks. When that happens I switch to an alternate account and things are running fine again, so it’s not Sync related.

Stop trying to throw statistics into sensational headlines!

You went Tiananmen Square on it.

The ship of “Lemmy must be entirely FOSS” has sailed. You can either invest time or money and even then there are some tradeoffs of things that can’t be swapped out. Datadog and Cloudflare are two of those such things.

Lemmy (including lemmy.world) are at a critical junction to continue to grow or lose momentum. These DDOSs are one such thing that caused it and everyone going “FOSS, FOSS, FOSS!” are another. If they have time in the future there may be a possibility, but when playing the growth game sometimes you have to go with the best tool available even if it doesn’t meet your ideals.

Sync for Reddit is another such tool. I’ve seen so much hate for it because it’s not pure FOSS, pay no mind to the sheer number of people that have downloaded it, are using it and have helped drive traffic to Lemmy and the Fediverse in general.

Nothing is stopping you from using a fully FOSS front end with your own server, that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you can choose what you want and still interact with others, but don’t get on their case when they select something you don’t like.

Sees the word “critical” in a command, doesn’t think to look up what might just be “critical” about the command…

Is this really any different from Spectre and other types of attacks? Except those targeted predictive execution.

But, but, it’s contributing to the entropy of the universe!

Control is another thing. I can’t tell you the amount of execs I’ve heard say “they’re losing control of their company” or “I don’t feel I have the same control over my people”. It’s crazy that they think that. What do they think the past 3 years have been when they’ve gotten record profits “oh, but our profits would be even better if we had people back in the office”. Sadly no amount of data will override the entrepreneurial “it could always be more” what if that they throw out.

I live dangerously. I have it set to show NSFW and to not blur it in my feed. Give me all of Lemmy unfiltered.

MHz refers to the samples per second, not the pitch. CD audio for example is 16-bit/44.1kHz. What that means is there are 16-bits of sampling (audio) taken 44,100 times per second. DSD on the other hand is 1-bit samples taken 11.2 million times per second, this is referred to as DSD256. What that translates to is a digital wave that looks a lot closer to an analog wave than a CD does. It has nothing to do with the frequency of listening in this case.

Gee, take your pick: you have the bad rebranding, the yanking and cancellation of some of their best shows (seriously, Westworld? You owned it!), cancelling already completed movies (Batgirl) or raising the price and removing 4k as a default among other things.

I thought musk was doing a Speedrun on how to kill a company but didn’t realize he had competition.

It could also be a misconfigured GPO that is blowing away the mappings. Or a script that is defined in the GPO. GPOs are usually scheduled to run every 90 minutes with up to a 15 minute variance in either direction. That would cause it to keep breaking throughout the day. The script above would get you fixed but until the root cause is discovered you’d have to keep running it.
