Let me introduce you to this.

Hey kiddo, stop listening to PRC propaganda 🤦

Given the memory optimization mentioned in the text, it looks a bit like there will be a 8GB ram version of the Steam Frame. Makes sense really, as it will make it significantly cheaper and for people mostly using it to stream from their main PC it shouldn’t matter much.

Threatening to attack and occupy their self-ruled neighbors is pretty much the textbook definition of imperialist 🤦

People can have one opinion and still prefer to vote against it given the likely consequence of the imperialist neighbor attacking them 🤷

Lol, what are you even talking about? Since 20 years the opinion polls are clear: The majority of the people living in Taiwan consider themselves Taiwanese. There is a somewhat large minority that considers themselves both Taiwanese and Chinese, but when asked to choose between the two the people of Taiwan overwhelmingly (like 90%) prefer to call themselves Taiwanese.

Edit: but it looks like I am replying to a fresh Tankie sockpuppet account, so I guess no need to bother 🤦

I am referring to the opinion of the current inhabitants of Taiwan as expressed in opinion polls.

Yes, but afaik the temperature reading is also on the flash itself. On Samsung nvme drives you even get two different temperature readings to differentiate it if I recall correctly.

It’s not generally a bad idea, but you get very low grade heat if you want to keep the PV panels cool and in general you will quickly run into the issue what to do with all the heat on sunny days, while not having enough on cloudy days.

I know this sounds trivial, but you need very little solar thermal surface area to cover all your domestic hot water needs so with the above solution you will run into a too much heat problem rather quickly and convertig it into something else is not feasible due to the very low grade of it (40°C or so).

Maybe a solution for large public outdoor pools 🤷

No, that is only the official line due to history and political pressure from China.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_on_Taiwanese_identity

I ran into similar issues before, but adding a passive cooler brought the temperatures down sufficiently.

However when researching the issue there were several people that claimed that ~70° C is actually the design temperature for these SSDs, which would explain why they usually don’t come with a cooler.

You could probably put Anubis in front of your reverse-proxy, but then you need something else in front of it that handles TLS certificates. So maybe something like this: HAProxy->Anubis->Nginx.

This is not a cultural failing that can be fixed by asking people to be nicer, which was roughly Scott Jenson’s prescription. Nor is it resolved by pointing to the protocol’s openness, which was roughly the community’s response. Neither prescription reaches the actual problem, because Mastodon’s governance tools sit at the instance level and the community’s experience happens at the federation level. Mastodon was built as open infrastructure at the federation level and community at the instance level. The Jenson thread demonstrates that the community has long since reversed this: they experience the federation as their community, and the instance as an administrative detail. The software has not caught up, and until it does, the community will keep enforcing its boundaries the only way the federation layer allows: person by person, reply by reply.

Thoughtful article overall, but I think what is describes is a design problem of Twitter like micro-blogging. There really is only a void to shout into, and I don’t really see how software can catch up to anything there. I also don’t really understand how this problem is specific to the Fediverse/Mastodon, with even the pre-Elon Twitter being famously toxic for very similar reasons.

Lemmy and other “community” based Fediverse software has much less of this problem, because there is a venue i.e a community to post into which has a theme, rules and moderators.

Mostly irrelevant as submarines are mobile and not all three potential enemies pose the same threat at the same time.

I think I just took it over from Codeberg.org back from when they still used Anubis. Nothing really relevant to Lemmy specifically and it is only in front of the frontends, not the s2s federation API.

It seems though like there are some crawlers that use 3rd party hosted alternative frontends to crawl (unintentionally?) through the federation API, so something in front of that would be useful I guess.

Not too many 8 port managed switches out there with an sfp+ 10gbe port for 50 bucks

Easy to get these days actually, with 10gbit sfp+ and 8x 2.5gbit, managed switches. About $60.

But my actual argument was that your 48 port switch eats electricity like crazy. That aint a cheap switch at all.

But you seem to only need a 8 port at most 🤯

Way too professional looking for this thread.

Also, you got a link to that sticker? Maybe I’ll add that as an ironic reminder to my “Kabelsalat” 😅

That 95% unused switch 😱

Such electricity waste. Much unclean.
