IT departments noticed there are more viable options than VMWare. Thanks Broadcom!
- Comment on Fuck geometry 1 month ago:
Please be careful with two different things. Complex numbers have two components. Distances don’t. They are scalars. The length of the vector
(0,1)
is also1
. Just asa+bi
will have the lengthsqrt(a^2 + b^2)
. You can also use polar coordinates for complex numbers. This way, you can see thati
has length1
, which is the distance from0
.The triangle in the example above adds a vector and a scalar value. You can only add two vectors:
(1,0) + (0,1)
which results in(1,1)
with the proper length. Or you can calculate the length/distance (absolute values) of the complex numbers directly. - Comment on Fuck geometry 1 month ago:
I’m so angry at people who think that distances can be imaginary.

- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 months ago:
But Germany has no space for nuclear waste. They haven’t been able to bury the last batch for over 30 years. And the one that they buried most recently began to leak radioactivity into ground water.
And… why give Russia more military target opportunities?

Mine doesn’t satisfy them, either. I switched off TPM in BIOS.
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 2 months ago:
I’m pretty much since the beginning on Matrix. I have never experienced any questionable content. Large chats (thousands of users) have some spam problems, but the spammers banned quickly and the posts are being removed.
What am I doing right?

I laughed a bit. Thanks.

- Comment on Which Countries Have The Most Data Centers? 4 months ago:
In 2020 there have been around 3000 data centers in Germany. Sounds more plausible to me.
- Comment on Which Countries Have The Most Data Centers? 4 months ago:
Germany only 521? Seems a bit low.
What counts as a “data center”? How many rooms and how many racks does it need to have?
- Comment on Men: What sequence do you fellow to dry your body off after showering or bathing? 4 months ago:
So you change your towels every time? Otherwise when you start again, the last time you used it, you wiped your butt with it.

I think no one really pays attention to fictional age in anime. People tend to enjoy the show.
- Comment on Burning Up 4 months ago:
Is 50°F 50% cold or 50% hot?
- Comment on Burning Up 4 months ago:
Yeah. But Celsius refers to inside room temperatures. 0°C = yay, ice skating! 100°C = yay, sauna!
- Comment on Burning Up 4 months ago:
0°C means that weather starts to be icy and you need to be careful when driving.
20°C is mild warm. 30°C is hot. 100°C is sauna.
- Comment on Burning Up 4 months ago:
100°F broken sauna.
100°C sauna is fine.
- Comment on Burning Up 4 months ago:
mild in what way?
It doesn’t even boil water.
Have you ever experienced 100f?
It’s slightly above my core body temperature. So yes, literally I experience it all the time.
You can literally get heat exhaustion, and heat stroke from temperatures of 110f pretty easily
Sauna. It’s literally boiled water. And it’s pretty safe for average human.

One easy way to install unbound.

Run your own DNS server at home, if you can. In this way you don’t need to setup any upstream resolvers. You just need the public federated DNS that is queried recursively.
- Comment on What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD? 5 months ago:
Many manufacturers offer product sheets. You can also use price comparison websites. They sometimes offer an easy way to look at the specs or even compare them side by side.
- Comment on What's the difference between a $50 HDD and a $200 HDD? 5 months ago:
Some hard drives are built for 24/7 operation. They have higher MTBF ratings and longer guarantees.
Hard drives are very different. Many of them waste energy, lie in the SMART log or behave generally weird ly (spin up and down, lose speed, get incredibly hot etc.)

- Comment on CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed 6 months ago:
Linux admins know that you’re worsening security when installing 3rd party stuff into kernel, so most of them tend to avoid it. And that’s why no one noticed that Crowdstrike problem.
- Comment on CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft 6 months ago:
The idea of “security software” is ridiculous overall. You buy a software to fix security problems in Windows and it violates the original product by inserting code into kernel code. You lose support by the original product vendor. And you think you’re secure, even the whole stuff makes you forget that IT should be always fit in solving security/restorability problems even when everything else fails.
- Comment on If anything happen to Linux today, like what happened to Windows, most of the internet would be dead. 6 months ago:
There won’t be such case is my argument. No one patches a system “for fun” and automatically there except they really set it up like that. It would be only one kind of a case in one company.
Furthermore, you cannot compare Linux systems. A modem firmware with busybox is not the same as a Debian PC desktop. It works differently and has only the kernel in common. And in both cases they aren’t patched at the same time. They are not even the same version, hell not even the same platform.
E.a. nothing will ever break like this. If it does, it will be one single case of a single IT department.
