It’s a clear sign on rightward slide & embrace.

Let’s say you’re right, for the sake of argument. And the solution to that is to help the all-the-way-right fascist get back into office?

She agrees with most of what trump says and wants to achieve. The only reason she isn’t with trump right now is because she pissed him off.

So what? Liz Cheney wasn’t on the ballot.

And to your meme, Liz Cheney ain’t dead yet.

No, but the whining about her is, or should be.

All you’ve done with your comment is prove my point.

Good lord but you people are hung up on Cheney like she’s the only excuse you’ve got for helping put Trump back in office.

I really hope there isn’t a lot of publicly accessible fluorine…

once told me

Heck, there hasn’t been peace in the Middle East since the Bronze Age Collapse.

The three-day special operation is going well.

I always recommend buying enterprise grade hardware for this type of thing, for two reasons:

1. Consumer-grade hardware is just that - it’s not built for long-term, constant workloads (that is, server workloads). It’s not built for redundancy. The Dell PowerEdge has hotswappable drive bays, a hardware RAID controller, dual CPU sockets, 8 RAM slots, dual built-in NICs, the iDrac interface, and redundant hot-swappable PSUs. It’s designed to be on all the time, reliably, and can be remotely managed.

2. For a lot of people who are interested in this, a homelab is a path into a technology career. Working with enterprise hardware is better experience.

Consumer CPUs won’t perform server tasks like server CPUs. If you want to run a server, you want hardware that’s built for server workloads - stability, reliability, redundancy.

So I guess yes, it is like buying an old truck? Because you want to do work, not go fast.

Hmm, I don’t have direct experience with ThinkServers, but what I see on eBay looks like standard ATX hardware… which is not really what you want in a server.

The Dell motherboard has dual CPU sockets and 8 RAM slots. The PSUs are not the common ATX desktop format because there are 2 of them and they are hot swappable. This is basically a rack server repacked into a desktop tower case, not an ATX desktop with a server CPU socket.

You can get old servers on eBay for surprisingly little money, like this PowerEdge T410 for $200. Add some drives, install TrueNAS SCALE and you’ve got a good home server platform.

Fuck no this administration won’t help. The best hope Americans had of lowering prices was Lina Kahn.

Yeah, and if you wrote some feedback to a magazine article, the editor might write a response to you and publish both in next month’s issue, but that would be the end of it. No one who read your feedback as published in the magazine could respond to you directly - it’s not really a conversation, it’s slow and limited by the format. You could write another message to the editor responding to their response, but that wouldn’t get published in the following issue so at most it would just be a one-to-one communication.

This is very different from writing a post on an internet message board and getting twenty responses from twenty different people in a span of minutes. The closest past equivalent I can think of is literal soapboxing, where you go stand on a street and talk at people walking by, and they can immediately respond to you if they choose - but then that’s in person, face-to-face.

Yes…

It’s easier to be an asshole to words than to people.

Personally, I think that we (humans) haven’t really socially adjusted to digital communications technology, its speed or brevity, or the relatively short attention span it tends to encourage. We spent millennia communicating by talking to each other, face to face, and we’re still kind of bad at that but we do mostly try to avoid directly provoking each other in person. Writing gave us a means to communicate while separated, but in the past that meant writing a letter, a process that is generally slow and thoughtful. In contrast, commenting on social media is usually done so quickly that there isn’t much thoughtfulness exhibited.

We’ve had three-ish? decades exchanging messages on the internet, having conversations with complete strangers, and being exposed to dozens, hundreds, even thousands of other people reading and responding to what we write… less than one human lifetime. We’re not equipped for this, mentally, emotionally, historically. Social and cultural norms haven’t adapted yet.

California also has the largest population of all states. A direct numerical comparison is disingenuous, a statistical comparison would be more valid.

Of registered voters in California, about 25% are Republican. In Texas, 38% are Republican.

This is the Great Filter theory.

It doesn’t do computational photography, true - I don’t know of any open source mobile apps that can, it’s a very complicated subject.

It does allow switching between the various lenses, at least on my OnePlus 12r.

The smallest government is a dictatorship.

'Traditional’ here means ‘Physical’, as in artworks which are NON-DIGITAL in nature.

Do you just not like the style?
