There are two types of BBQ: KC and wrong.

I love booting up servers. 95% of the boot process is spent on the ram check. 4% is spent on the actual bios things, and 1% is actually booting the OS.

Even on my home server (a desktop with 64 gigs of ram) the ram check takes longer than the OS.

The speed difference between my brand new 7200rpm 20TB HDD and a random ass sata SSD is still astounding. Sequentially the HDD is only half as slow. But booting an OS or loading files the HDD is maybe a 10th the speed. Small sequential files is where SSDs shine, especially when it comes to high end NVME drives. That’s why iops are always included in benchmarks.

Windows on an HDD takes like 1-2 minutes to boot. A sata SSD is closer to 30 seconds, and a high end NVME drive is like 10 seconds.

Worst case it sucks and you just pour it out.

from the article:

They argue that Musi is a ‘parasitic’ app that doesn’t compensate creators or rightsholders.

They asked for the passport and did the face scan? Outside of the first time they’ve haven’t asked for my passport yet.

You can be the enemy of the advertisers and they will do everything in their power to destroy you. Or you can not entirely piss them off and actually continue to exist and try to do as much good as you can.

You can just look at what addresses from that range have left the network in any given 24 hour window.

If AAAA is constantly reaching our to aussie.zone one day, and the next day AAAB is reaching out to that address you can pretty easily connect the dots.

We turn it off in our office. It doesn’t benefit us.

You could also make the argument that ipv4 through NAT is better for privacy since it obfuscate what, and how many devices are connected to where.

If it wasn’t for lossless music, and storing about 75 gigs of drone footage on my phone I don’t use a lot of my storage typically. The 256 default is enough for me. But since I imported this phone I just said fuck it and went for the 1TB model and I’m sure as hell gonna use that storage. Apps bloating to use a shit ton of storage? Fuck it I don’t care.

Also I’ve always hated having the two tier storage for my phone. When 64 gig SD cards were a lot for a phone I had one and I hated it. It was only good for music, and offloading some photos. But it was always a pain getting most photo apps to recognize and treat each folder as one unified library so I’d always have half of my photos “inaccessible”. My last phone with an SD card slot was my galaxy note 3 from about the same time. After that I just started buying phones with enough built in storage.

Visibility is good and equivalent to some LEDs with higher end lamps

No. Not even close. LEDs are blinding because they have such high output. That high output is what makes things visible.

Scaled sorting is what caused that issue. Active or hot don’t really have that issue since they’re more likely to show slightly older but highly voted things. VS scaled which will just dump all 20 posts from one person even though nobody has voted on them.

There’s a few alternatives to reddit pro tools that let you do this. I forget which one I had installed before but it had some basic tagging.

The topics weren’t an issue. The issue is more with Lemmy’s sorting algorithm not being great.

There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.

The pixels is external which is unique I guess.

Man I’m surprised Samsung didn’t dominate this list. My galaxy S4 was filled with so many garbage features that I never used.

Samsung and their garbageware was like 50% of the reason why I switched to iOS for my main phone.

I think I’ve blocked one or two people on lemmy. Only because they like to spam posts all at once and it will fill up an entire page with just their shit.

Outside of that I’ve never blocked anyone, nor do I ever really want to block anyone.

Those countries probably didn’t pay 5.5 billion dollars for TSMC to build a new facility in their country.

Multiple sources of production.

We learned during concentrating all of your production in one small country wasn’t a good idea. Plus having multiple sources has always been suggested in case anything goes wrong with one company you can still have some production.

Netbird does some things better than Tailscale. But honestly tailscale is just so much better. It takes a much more “it just works” approach which for our office we much prefer. It was so much more fiddly and just awful.

Netbird also kept pissing me off because we’d have a route to the office, and if you’re in the office it would just kill all network traffic as it tries to go to itself instead of the default gateway and just never works. Tailscale kinda has the same issue, but it doesn’t end up in an endless loop it just routes all your traffic in the office through the VPN.
