kbotc,

Eating $70 in power a month.

kbotc,

Slap a USB NVMe IN there and be done with it.

kbotc,

sigh I loved it when my Unifi would let me run everything in my gateway. I get why they moved away from the podman solution, but it was so convenient.

kbotc,

You have to be careful about what tissue you put the epinephrine in. If you don’t hit the right tissue, it can not function or cause you to go into tachycardia. When your brain is also potentially not working super great due to low blood pressure (the shock part of anaphylactic shock), it’s best to have a point and click interface.

kbotc,

I bet the Pro uses Thunderbolt, and the regular is USB 2 speeds. Just my gut feeling. “You can hook up the pro to our special version of Logic Pro and edit directly on your phone! You can maybe move a your music library over to the non-pro in about 4 hours.”

kbotc,

Why? Use something like RAFT, elect the leader, have the leader run the AI tool, then exchange results, with each node running it’s own subset of image hashes.

That does mean you need a trust system, though.

kbotc,

Hash the image, then assign hash ranges to servers that are part of the ring. You’d use RAFT to get consensus about who is responsible for which ranges. I’m largely just envisioning the Scylla gossip replacement as the underlying communications protocol.

kbotc,

Eh… As long as it’s an indoor cat, it’s likely fine. University of Minnesota did a study on this early on in the pandemic.

…umn.edu/dog-cat-owners-covid-19-often-pass-it-pe…

You’re liable to give your pets COVID, but they don’t seem super troubled by it at this moment, and optimizations that arrived with Omicron to increase spread in humans actually dropped spread in companion animals.

www.biorxiv.org/…/2022.04.13.488132v1.full.pdf/

I expect as what should now be considered HCoV-SARS-2 optimizes more and more for the human tissue, cross over will get increasingly uncommon.

kbotc,

Yea, it sounds like DeSantis doesn’t want to actually do his “Governor of Florida” duties since he’s out campaigning and just cut a huge chunk of the state responses over to the federal government.

kbotc,

I got there, then was like “Fuck, if this was asking where Jakarta was, I’d be so damn stupid.”

kbotc,

The source of COVID is likely China’s $60 billion dollar+ fur industry, and that is the reason they don’t want anyone looking. I’d bet if they did analysis, ancestors of COVID are found in the bats in Suning County, which is fairly close to Wuhan and one of the largest fur markets on the planet. The raccoon dogs that were sold at the market in Wuhan were likely animals with poor fur coats (because they were sick) and sent to butcher rather than being skinned for their fur. China’s fur industry requires vast tracts of land clearance since one of the primary furs, which is mink are obligate carnivores, so they need a supply of meat. The land clearance forces the horseshoe bats to roost in the barns with the animals that include minks and raccoon dogs. It explains every aspect of that the lab leak theory fails to address, with the two lineages, the genetic clock starting in October, and even why it spilled over to people in the time period that it did

kbotc,

Eh… You may want to talk to your vet before switching your dog’s food suddenly. I learned the hard way that my dog’s allergic to everything and has violent diarrhea when exposed to food she’s unfamiliar with. It’s like white people and Taco Bell.

kbotc,

Wasn’t that the entire premise of the pilot of The Boondocks?

kbotc,

Unless you are on a Mac, then ctrl is META, and META+c gets you to the place where you can :q!

ESC is just too far to deal with when using vi.

kbotc,

But it is UNIX, which Linux is not.

kbotc, (edited )

Go ask Red Hat for their sources.

EDIT: I’m a Linux Performance Engineer with 15 years under my belt and I use a Mac as my daily driver. Including when I gasp interface with Linux computers because it’s always a combination of ssh and configuration management of some form. Telling me that Mac users don’t use vim is, on its face, one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. It’s a text based interface. I could do it with Windows, but I’m faster on Macs.

kbotc,

On Mac, The Unarchiver is always the correct choice.

kbotc,

… You can’t edit files inside a zip file. The program’s just hiding that it’s decompressing and decompressing the whole thing every time you change something.

Zip files are usually just another wrapper around DEFLATE, and compressing each block requires knowledge of the previous block’s compression (Part of LZ77). It’s a streaming format, not a sparse format.

kbotc,

RAR != ZIP.

Fell free to read a stack overflow about that situation

Your choices are basically “rewrite the entire file” or “leave the original file in place, do an append and try and hide the old file.”

Editing old data in most streaming file formats with inline metadata is basically impossible because they compact the data as much as possible and internally refer to offsets.

Appending is trivial, editing is very hard if not downright impossible.

kbotc,

I mean, it was created because a pharmacist wanted something that reminded him of his pharmacy.

kbotc,

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Just do breakfast and bangers and mash for dinner, skip the bangers.

Boom: 1.5 meals. Just worry about potato crop failure.

kbotc,

Apple’s shake to find is plenty effective.

kbotc,

Oh look, the “NATO is anything I don’t like” Russian apologist tankie guy is back at pulling out fake shit out of their ass.

The US is the second largest manufacturer on the planet, and insources its military production.

Ukraine is complaining that we can’t send them Soviet era military structure compatible weaponry. The US had largely phased out “dig a trench and use artillery to make a breakthrough” back in the late 80s, because we could attain air superiority against Soviet tech.

kbotc,

I’m only summarising what the US military is saying.

You’re only summarizing what the US Military Industrial Complex is saying, which isn’t the US Military. National Defense Industrial Association != US Military, again going back to the “NATO is whatever I define it as” that you keep insisting.

Mark Milley is the mouthpiece of the US Military as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and he’s not mincing words: Russia will lose militarily in Ukraine. It will take time and blood, but the US is responsible for 34% of the world’s military industrial output and claiming

It’s DIB is not set up for wars against industrialised countries that are determined to fight back.

Is not reality. We’ve only faced off once, and the Battle of Khasham did not go well for the “industrialized country determined to fight back”

kbotc,

I don’t support Russia invading, just so we’re clear.

Then why are you using Russia’s talking points?

kbotc,

When you’re a country on the other side of the world and you’re trying to put troops in place to surround a country you’ve arbitrarily decided is your “enemy” then that’s a clear, open threat.

The US already had bases closer to Moscow and St. Petersburg than Ukraine! As soon as Russia invaded Crimea, the US stationed a shitload of troops in the Baltic states that are part of NATO. Every part of Ukraine’s further from Russia’s center of power as compared to the deployments of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

There’s not a damn thing that Ukraine would do to benefit the US militarily other than securing non-Russian nuclear plants to provide power to the EU. Russia is going after a war of retribution and hydrocarbon imperialism for leaving it’s sphere of influence.

kbotc,

“I think the US’s reasons for invading Iraq are real and must be acknowledged to end the war.”

Does that clarify what I’m talking about to you at all?

kbotc,

Yes, and that’s exactly the point I was making about Russia’s reasons. The NATO already had troops in all of the Baltics following the invasion of Crimea. (Look up Operation Atlantic Resolve) Every single US troop there was already closer to Moscow than any potential Ukrainian base could ever possibly hope to be.

kbotc,

You keep skipping parts of the history. You bring up that Viktor Yanukovych’s removal was illegal and not that the court’s removal of the 2004 amendments were, themselves, illegal. (Somehow the people who were supposed to implement the constitution were above it?) or that the president went against the Legislature’s will by denying the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement, which again, they had a right to write and approve the treaty…

kbotc,

Additionally, as you say, words have meanings. When people criticise NATO it is as a stand-in for the imperialist world order. It includes the IMF, World Bank, the WTO, the ‘international’ courts and rules, and all their elements and capitalist lackeys. You’re making a semantic argument, which misses the crucial point: that NATO and its member states are concerned only with the wealth and power of their bourgeoisie, regardless of Russia.

I’m not trying to hide the fact that I have an agenda, that we can’t have world peace until there are no more imperialists, which includes and is often, in ordinary language, represented by NATO. If you interpret that as support for Russia, there’s not much left for us to discuss.

Your position literally is the NATO is all the imperial capitalists in the world, and somehow Russia is not involved in either of those definitions and deserves to be apologized for. It’s internally inconsistent and is shill behavior.

You have an agenda, and it’s pro imperialist, as long as the imperialist is not the US. Congrats; If you were in the US, you’re dumb enough that you’d be shilling for Trump because “He’s gonna drain the swamp!”

kbotc,

The “loose definition” redtea came up with is bonkers.

The nutbag’s definition of NATO includes Russia.

kbotc,

That’s been a big chunk of the political landscape. The Republicans and the Catholics are not natural bedfellows and campaigning on Abortion has been how they pulled a ton of them to the right. If the Republicans lose the Catholic vote, they will not win for 50 years, especially since they have been counting on Hispanic anti-abortion votes to cover what they lost on the white college educated elite in the long term.

kbotc,

Someone’s trying to connect the dots on a grand unified theory.

The best ones are all untestable.

kbotc,

Rupert Murdoch, the kingpin of a ton of this nonsense learned journalism in Australia before immigrating and making America a worse place.

kbotc,

Why is anyone requiring an Apple developed piece of software in Linux these days?

kbotc,

A single Mr. Mime would just laugh as it slowly whittles your health down…

kbotc,

“Having to pee all the time” is more of a diabetes thing than alcohol.

kbotc,

Your liver isn’t what makes you urinate, mate. That’d be the kidneys, and saying “If you’re peeing too much, just drink less alcohol” rather than “go get a checkup and make sure you’re not developing diabetes like 1/3 American adults is… Not as helpful as you think it is.

kbotc,

Without a doubt, but if “I’m having to pee all the time” is your only symptom, I’d worry about a dozen other things before straight blaming alcohol intake (provided you are not constantly intoxicated as alcohol is a diuretic). Do not get me wrong, if you think you are drinking too much you almost certainly are, but alcohol abuse disorder should show up in a ton of places before getting to kidney damage levels. In fact, the opposite is significantly more worrisome: If you drink too much and have a sudden reduction in amount of urine, that’s the big alarm bells for Acute Kidney Injury.

kbotc,

To clarify, most people had no idea what bisexual was before David Bowie put a label on it in the late 70s and I doubt people who are calling themselves bisexual are doing it to be exclusionary. Shit, people still have trouble admitting the Starman liked women and men to this day and the guy was dumped by the love of his life for that revelation.

kbotc,

Zoom’s about to try and claim their click through EULA trumps client-attorney privilege. Let’s see how that goes for them.

kbotc,

I mean, it’s mostly going to be a lot of 503 Server not found or an army of bots will take over to draw some yiff art.

kbotc,

I’m just picturing all the stories of people “accidentally” eating an entire 100 mg chocolate bar after being unable to wait an hour for it to kick in, and then imagine those schmucks taking 8x that dose.

kbotc,

Sounds like your mad at the republicans, and yet parroting their talking points.

kbotc,

Why is the US catching strays from Britain’s fuckup?

Pakistan’s legacy is from the Raj.

Google Tries to Defend Its Web Environment Integrity as Critics Slam It as Dangerous (techreport.com)

Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don’t give in to criminals or bullies...

kbotc,

Yes, but Netflix isn’t in the same class anymore (High growth, dominating their relevant fields, diversification). Nvidia may fit.

kbotc,

They don’t employ the people who made their backend so special anymore. Not one of their original chaos engineering team work there anymore, and Brendan Gregg (Hooray for learning BCC/perf!) is over at Intel
