Avril didn’t make it obvious enough apparently.
- Comment on Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injection 1 day ago:
I don’t know if a lot of people realize that LLM’s basically started from Google translate.
- Comment on Dutch authorities seized one of Windscribe VPN's servers – here's everything we know 1 day ago:
Yep came here to say this, it being a ram only server doesn’t really help against government level attacks.
There’s a decent chance the server itself had dual power supplies, in which case you could just unplug one and plug it into a battery and you’re good to go. That simplifies things quite a bit.
- Comment on Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So 1 day ago:
Yes it was a overblown nothing.

Find the fake ending 30 mins before the end and watch from there. The rest you can skip without feeling guilty.
- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 1 week ago:
Imagine a server is a shopping mall. Now imagine you’ve got 20 years worth of black Friday traffic trying to get to it.
The server might be able to handle the requests that get to it, but the sheer volume of traffic makes it impossible to get in or out effectively.
- Comment on Is there a way to filter news on lemmy 1 week ago:
Block the communities, or use piefed since it has many more filtering options.
- Comment on One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off Over the Last Two Years, GDC Study Reveals 1 week ago:
I was at a gaming studio that closed down in late 2024, most of the people I’ve talked to since have left games and work in general tech.

That was a really fun episode, I’m enjoying this show way more than I expected.
I want some warp core pajamas.
- Comment on See for yourself just how massive Meta’s Hyperion data center is 2 weeks ago:
Not all datacenters bother with noise abaitment.
- Comment on How come streaming or satelite don't have a playlist option? I got Dish and its annoying where I can't just tack on a bunch of movies or series and just let them play in an order I choose? 3 weeks ago:
Because it costs them money to stream, so it’s in their interest to make sure you don’t just queue up a bunch of stuff and fall asleep.

Anyone remember the show Breaker High?
- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 3 weeks ago:
You can try a “ground loop isolator” to get rid of the hum
- Comment on nvidia devices not appearing on boot (proxmox) 4 weeks ago:
Check lsmod and see if the kernel modules are loaded. Nvidia smi is probably loading them for you on first run.

The source code is private, how can you call that open source?

- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 4 weeks ago:
I owned several xps in a row, then got one with that touch bar. I returned it and stayed away since. Smart move to ditch it
- Comment on I tested putting my printsheet in the dishwasher 5 weeks ago:
I’d be more concerned about the abrasive factor of dishwasher soap over time, rather than temperature issues. Dishwasher soap is very gritty since it needs to use that as an abrasive to get food off, rather than someone wiping with a scrub.
Really gonna depend on what type of print sheet as well. If you have a coated sheet, that coating is probably going to get worn off.
- Comment on 🖥 Best Used SAS Drives? (4TB) 🖥 5 weeks ago:
Imagine a disk shelf of 24 drives being commented by a pair of sas loops. You’d want the faster speeds then. It’s not about individual drives.
- Comment on 🖥 Best Used SAS Drives? (4TB) 🖥 5 weeks ago:
One is 6gb sas and the other is 12gb.
You probably won’t notice a difference
- Comment on Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group? 2 months ago:
Doesn’t really make sense for self hosting. Filtering the traffic is pointless if the traffic just completely overwhelms your internet.
- Comment on Master Replicas taking pre-orders for new board game Destination: Star Trek: The Next Generation 2 months ago:
I want this to be good, but I’m going to guess the gameplay mechanics are something like boardgamegeek.com/…/destination-Hogwarts which isn’t promising.

Probably don’t want to be limited to only spacex to get up there
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 months ago:
You started off with an ad hominem attack calling it armchair nonsense, that the weight argument has no merit. I’m pointing out i have actual experience in this area. If you hadn’t been an asshole with your initial reply I wouldn’t have bothered replying, instead here we are.
Everything is a money problem when you get down to it far enough. Why don’t we have mars colonies? Money. Why don’t cars fly? Money. Why doesn’t everyone live in super tall towers that touch the atmosphere? Money. Sure let’s just ignore all the engineering considerations and reduce it down to the absolute basic explanation of “money” so that nobody in this thread will learn anything.
Why don’t we have super tall datacenters? It’s not worth the money to sustain that level of weight in a new tower, and definitely not worth it to overhaul an existing tower.
It’s pointless to call out money as the limit, that’s completely obvious.
Anyways I’m over this thread, byeeeee.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 months ago:
I’ve built out 7 datacenters across 3 countries in my career. I’ve gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What’s your background?
30 seconds searching will back me up. digitalrealty.com/…/what-floor-loading-capacity-d…
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 months ago:
Weight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you’re at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It’s much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.
