And they’re getting away with it because they understand how the legal system works.
- Comment on Yale Posting It's Ls 1 week ago:
Seems like those schools were successful in teaching them how our legal system works and how to use it to advance their own goals. Seems like the only thing they didn’t learn is ethics, but their understanding of our legal system is pretty solid.

People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.
That said, this is obviously satire/bait.
- Comment on 🖥 Best Used SAS Drives? (4TB) 🖥 2 weeks ago:
12gbps could be useful if you use port expanders to put dozens of drives on the same port, but without a port expander you’re right you wouldn’t saturate the 6gbps channel.

If they have video of you leaving the note, then they also have video of the truck being parked, sitting there without being hit, and the owner returning without any real incident.
And from experience, the cops would tell the owner of the truck to contact their insurance, and if pushed, the most they’d do is file a report. There wouldn’t be any investigation, especially without evidence of damage.

You seem like you have a lot of pent up anger and frustration. I hope you find peace someday.

I’m saying the Lemmy post (“FACTS”) is satire, not the Twitter post.

Your post is satire
Seems like everyone here understands that this post is satire, including the OP. They wouldn’t have posted it to the shitpost community if they thought otherwise.
you stupid fuck.
When you point one finger, three are pointing back at you.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 2 months ago:
While true, those companies all have solid revenue streams that aren’t directly related to AI. If a bubble pops they’ll all suffer, but all of them were profitable before the AI boom and can survive without it. It’s very different from the dot bubble because that was driven by speculation and many companies weren’t making any profit back then.

I’m not able to watch a video right now… But is the answer “the bernoulli principle?”
- Comment on Does the filament path of ruby nozzles degrade + is DUROZZLE any good? 3 months ago:
Ruby is brittle, and if your hotend crashes into the bed due to bad settings, broken ABL, etc it might break. That’s just based on what I read when I was considering buying one, I don’t have any first hand experience.

Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
Besides RAM, what resources do for think you’re saving? Not CPU cycles or IO ops, because you’re processing the same amount of DB queries either way. Not power consumption, since that isn’t affected by RAM utilization. Maybe disc space? But that’s even cheaper than RAM.
Or more importantly: the extent to which you can self-host out of sheer luck and ignorance like you suggest is very limited. If you don’t want to engage with a minimum amount of configuration, you might bump into security issues (a much broader and complex subject) long before any of the above has a material impact.
You’re mischaracterizing what I said. My point is that running multiple DB processes on a server isn’t going to have a significant impact on system load, if all other factor are kept constant.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
You seem to be obsessed with optimising one resource at the expense of others. Time is a limited resource, and even if it only takes 5 minutes to configure all of your containers to share a single db backend (it will take longer than that even if you just have 2), you’re only going to save a few MB of RAM. And since RAM costs roughly $2.5/GB (0.25 cents/MB) your time would have to be worth very little for this to be worthwhile.
On the other hand, if you’re doing it to learn more about computers then it might be worthwhile. This is a community of hobbiests, after all…

No, this comic is about nominal vs actual lumber size. Both tapes are imperial.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
Neither, I’m trying to explain that you don’t need to know the implementation details of the software running on your server to backup the entire thing.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
Where are you getting that from? The fastest and easiest way to back up any server is a full filesystem backup, especially if you’re using something like zfs or btrfs.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
I’m saying this based on real world experience: after a certain point you start to see deminishing returns when optimizing a system, and you’re better off focusing your efforts elsewhere. For most applications, customizing containerized services to share databases is far past that point.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
Do you have the data to back that up? Have you measured how much of an impact on system load and power consumption having 2 separate DB processes has?
Roughly the same amount of work is being done by the CPU if you split your DBs between 2 servers or just use one. There might be a slight increase in memory usage, but that would only matter in a few niche applications and wouldn’t affect environmental impact.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
For most applications the overhead of running a second DB server is negligible.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 4 months ago:
I write software for a living, and have worked with all 3 database options in the past. I don’t know what DB backend my nextcloud server is using, nor do I care.

No, it’s a little more nuanced than that.

No, check ebay if you don’t believe me. It’s not exactly plentiful, but there are enough contractors with several hundred/thousand feet left over from big jobs who are selling it for wholesale or less. It’s not like you can recycle it, and splicing is unreliable without tools that cost as much as a car, so if you’ve got a partial spool you need to get rid of you’ll probably have to sell it at a loss.
- Comment on DissolvPCB enables fully recyclable 3D-printed circuit boards with liquid metal conductors 5 months ago:
You might be able to coat them, but for long term applications I think you’d be better off etching FR4. This sounds like a huge breakthrough for low cost rapid prototyping, though.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 5 months ago:
Elevation (really the force of gravity) has an effect on time, so that’s technically only true at sea level.
