  Thank you. I never knew what this abomination was called. I’ve seen several trucks around here (rural NC) that look like this. Now I have a name to hate. 🤣

  I know right. Why is this not a thing already? I mean I understand the various U.2, U.3, and EDSFF are great for high density data center installs. We have a 1U box in production that could be as high as 1 PB given current densities with E1.L drives but that’s enterprise level stuff. I just want a huge 3.5 SSD I could put in these pro-consumer level NAS boxes or maybe even one I could build myself for my home lab.

  Likely because they’re old and resist change like me?

  Seriously though it’s such a shift from what I understand I’m very reticent to even start the process. I have a lab at work though that I should really start playing with it at no real risk to anything production. You know what, I’m going to do that next week! Yeah, progress.

  First docker and now IPv6. I’m so cutting edge 🤣

  And most of the porn is pixelated anyway? At this point I’d assume anything pixelated is Pavlovian and arousing to most Japanese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And even then it’s sometimes impossible because how much can you keep in your head at once. Everybody specializes on these large projects. I may have 30000 ft view of how things operate but getting down into specifics can be hard. I have some intimate knowledge of the learning management system we develop for, which is way less complex than most games, and there are always little gotchas when you make code or architecture changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Having lived in a rental for many many years the inability to make small mods is SO annoying.

  But this does beg the question, who OWNS a balcony. 99% of the home owners I know have single family houses. Granted I live in the south so owning an apartment is not the norm but I assume some people own an apartment in places like New York? But I’d assume people do?

  I tried to look it up and from what I could find only about 15-17% of housing units in the US are apartments, and of those only about 15% own. So maybe 2% even have the opportunity. And this is assuming THOSE units have balconies, which I’m assuming only a small percentage of that 2% do. I’d think this is a major factor to balcony solar not taking off.

  I thought so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand the self-cooling. Isn’t it harder to keep things cool in space since there is no conduction or convection cooling? I mean everything is in a vacuum. The only place for heat to go is radiative and that’s terribly inefficient. Seems like a massive engineering problem.
