sunbeam60,

Server blocking hexbear is the only way to stay sane on Lemmy.

sunbeam60,

… “and don’t worry about your family back home in North Korea who will be compressed into tinned meal”.

The defection rate will be low I suspect. It’s an automatic TFK (total family kill) to defect and I doubt they’ll send anyone who don’t have family at home in Glorious Motherland!

sunbeam60,

The Korean War was led by the UN. NATO wasn’t involved.

sunbeam60,

Maybe on account of the communities I subscribe to, but I’ve personally not come across right wing extremism on Lemmy. The tankies, though … so prevalent. Anyways, by server blocking hexbear it’s reduced by 90%.

Qualcomm Aiming For Snapdragon X Elite GPU Support In Linux 6.11 (www.phoronix.com)

A lot of people here seemed excited for these chips. It’ll be very interesting to see the gaming performance as this could bring in an entire new segment of portable devices running Linux if powerful enough to deliver solid battery life and CPU performance.

sunbeam60,

Are you aware that YouTube has a search function?

I’m using a Sony ZV-1 in a SmallRig camera cage, attached to an HDMI capture device. It’s a step below a DSLR, also in price, but it makes a huge difference to the quality and I get frequent comments about the “AWMAHGAWD amazing set up you’ve got, look at how crisp it is!” when I join meetings. The lens is really open and it captures a lot of detail. By far the best compact/quality setup I’ve found.

It’s almost as if you can’t just dump more renewable capacity onto a grid and think that will solve our crisis, right?!

sunbeam60,

Oh for Darwin sake! This is a distribution problem, and relates to optimising efficiency.

sunbeam60,

Exactly! Put a real price of carbon and this will start to chance.

sunbeam60,

At huge inefficiency loss though. Denmark is probably further with this than anywhere else in the world and even they are sputtering on getting this going.

sunbeam60,

Yes but pumped storage is about 80% round trip efficiency vs power to x which is barely touching 20% out of the lab. And power to X needs an epic fuckton of very clean water, which also isn’t easy to find.

sunbeam60,

You are correct that when you build one new plant every 25 years it takes a long time to spool the industry, the skills, the testing and the manufacturing capability up to build new nuclear.

In countries that regularly build new nuclear it takes 5 years, comparable to any other power source. When France when through their mass-conversion to nuclear in the 70s (following the oil crisis), they put 2-3 new nuclear plants into operation every year.

All new western nuclear is in “production hell”. We don’t build them often enough to retain the skill set or for industry to dare invest. So they become massive state-run enterprises.

If we were serious on solving our climate crisis we would build nuclear power plans en masse.

sunbeam60,

Huh? What do you think a parking space is?

sunbeam60,

What you’re hearing about is lab experiments. Moving something from the lab to something in production, with the reliability and life span required to participate on the public grid is hard.

sunbeam60,

It must be a lot of work to see everything through this lens, all the time.

If you look at the states surrounding Germany, and the inter connectors they have, you’ll understand better why this isn’t just a simple thing to do and why it doesn’t relate to income level differences.

The only region that has managed to build a perfectly integrated spot market for electricity is Scandinavia. Every time you want to enable something like this, you’re in difficult negotiation territory; politics, unions, local government, NIMBYism, technical difficulties etc play a huge part.

sunbeam60,

Yes of course. Almost everything is blocked by stupid politics, not tech limitations. Unfortunately stupid politics is all we got. And that means if we want to make progress, it’s stupid politics that needs overcoming.

sunbeam60,

Absolutely agreed! Hear hear!!

sunbeam60,

Everyone believes what they look at every day “looks right”. It’s just habit.

sunbeam60,

Well, sort of.

If he chooses to install an atomic distribution, for example, he might have a simpler time ensuring that he can help undo any curiosity damage his kids may have wrought.

sunbeam60,

🤣

sunbeam60,

JMAP support would make a huge difference to expand the only open/free (as in speech) competition Exchange has.

sunbeam60,

jmap.io

sunbeam60,

It’s not evenly spent. Medicaid makes up the vast majority. fiscaldata.treasury.gov/…/federal-spending/

sunbeam60,

Me too but then again I already live in a country with free healthcare.

sunbeam60,

Stream Control Transmission Protocol. It’s the Betamax of low level networking.

Dead Cells. Bloody love it.

I’m running 22.04.4 Server with kernel 6.5.0-27 and everything is rock solid.

Any reason I should upgrade when stable 24.04 releases? It doesn’t seem to me that there is, but I’m worried missing something.

sunbeam60,

Ah right. I didn’t know that - thank you. Only really got into self hosting in the last couple of year.

sunbeam60,

Be careful what you wish for. I’ve been part of some rewrites that turned out worse than the original in every way. Not even code quality was improved.

sunbeam60,

Everyone hates on it. Here I am; a simply Silverblue user and it seems fine to me. What is the issue actually?

sunbeam60,

C/C++ isn’t really faster than Rust. That’s the attraction of Rust; safety AND speed.

Of course it also depends on the job.

sunbeam60,

Yes thank you. But my statement remains true nevertheless.

sunbeam60,

Funnily enough the current is actually the one where we’ve made the biggest delta and it’s been worthwhile in every way. When I joined the oldest part of the platform was 90s .net and MSSQL. This summer we’re turning the last bits off.

sunbeam60,

Same as The Party in Aars, Denmark, in the 90s. Every table had a sheet. Cross out the IP you picked. Managed 2000 attendees that way.

sunbeam60,

Yeah it has. The demo aspect became smaller and smaller and with the advent of internet penetration even the copy side of it dissipated. It wasn’t the same at the end tbh

Still, fond memories of coding, sleeping under the tables, eating junk.

sunbeam60,

Groan. I’m on a mastodon server and a full believer in the free market. Can we not force this left/right conjecture onto server choice too, please?

sunbeam60,

I know. My point remains the same.

sunbeam60,

Yeah they should have run their own Mastodon server but I can understand they want to reach the Threads audience and until there’s two-way sync Threads it is.

sunbeam60,

I would agree with your suspicion but it’s got to be said that their public statements are pretty clear: It is coming.

www.threads.net/

sunbeam60,

It might have started a 4/10. By now, it’s touching 10/10 IMHO. But of course you have to like the kind of game it is.

sunbeam60,

Don’t be a downer man! Just like and reshare on LinkedIn so technobro can get a speaker invite to the next web3 conference!

sunbeam60,

As a dirty European watching from the sidelines, I’m struggling to understand how to could both have bought a firearm illegally yes utilised a loophole to not get charged for it. I did a quick search but couldn’t find anything - could you explain more?

sunbeam60,

Yes agreed. I suspect it will collapse to “non-time-critical traffic will run on HTTPS via REST” and “everything else will run on UDP, using their own ports”, except for maybe a couple of golden oldies like NTP, FTP, SMTP/POP/IMAP.

sunbeam60,

It’s hard, but not impossible, to get a personal mail server trusted amongst the big players, agreed.

That doesn’t mean email can’t be accessed with IMAP (or heaven forbid, POP3) on the big players. Outlook, gmail, FastMail, proton etc all support it.

sunbeam60,

Well this is what I mean. In the olden days, this would be custom traffic on a custom port. Nowadays it just uses web HTTPS REST calls as API.

sunbeam60,

Not for lack of trying though.

sunbeam60,

Please move your account to hexbear (which most of us have already blocked) so we don’t have to listen to Russian propaganda talking points on the civilised side of Lemmy. I find it straining to block individual users.

sunbeam60,

I’m only going to be dictator for one day. ONE DAY!
