This is exactly where my mind went. Bravo.

Right in the blast zone though...

It becomes a negotiation every time you want to use it. It's terrible unless you're good at haggling over your own wellbeing.

They definitely could have phrased this better. I think what they mean is that their level of confidentiality meets or exceeds local laws.

There's also the cost to transcode the video and audio streams into different formats so they don't have to do it on demand whenever someone watches a video. That's a lot of compute cost plus they have to store all of those additional transcodes which is more storage cost.

Maybe the lemmy.world mods are just following The Golden Path, making the Fediverse more resilient through their tyranny!

I have a Ryzen 3700x that had similar problems. In my case disabling Precision Boost Overdrive and regular Precision Boost eliminated the crashes. PB being just the regular boosting behavior of the CPU. With it turned off the CPU basically only adjusts its frequency between the idle frequency of like 800 MHz to the base clock (3.6 GHz or whatever).

I think basically what happened was the BIOS was running the CPU too hot and eventually it just couldn't stably boost to the higher frequencies which would cause problems. It's an easy thing to try and see if it works for you. In my case I was able to salvage the CPU by putting it into a server whose workload doesn't benefit from moment to moment super high CPU clock speeds.

I do too, which is why I was on the table getting a vasectomy before the vernix was dry on our one and only kid lol

As someone in my 30s, I expect to be part of the beginning of a series of steward generations who will desperately try to manage this Great Decline. My only hope is that it can be slowed down enough that I don't die in some thunderdome contest for scraps.

Their PowerPanel Personal and Business editions both seem to work with all of their UPS models. I used to run PowerPanel Business on a basic tower-style model.

Same, there are so many people that I must enjoy the satisfaction of outliving.

Mostly just different algorithms that can achieve greater compaction under different data circumstances.

There are an infinite number of compression algorithms. The trick is to find ones that result in a smaller file for the data you have, which will have some non-random pattern to it.

The choices we think of today (gz, bz2, zstd, etc.) are fairly general purpose, but sometimes you find a data file that compresses significantly more with a particular algorithm.
