No no, don't tell them. That way they won't be able to spread outside of that one suburb.

So now they think RF has health benefits, maybe they will stop spreading the cell phone cancer/covid/mind control/death ray nonsense.

Worse, I like to cancel out the "d"s.

Well those are fancy dishes, a nice upgrade.

A good 40% of users are spread out on servers with less then 5% of the overall user base, but that is still a good 60% in the top 5 instances, considering how laggy lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are, I am surprised anyone stays on them.

I have done some tests, and under low memory conditions, when frequently writing to the drive (especially with a high /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs) swap can actually reduce the amount of writes to the drive. If you do have enough memory, swap is hardly used but still results in a noticeable speed improvement.

I'm still not using Reddit. Let's hope this at least puts a drop in the user count right before the IPO.

Similar to a modern 64 bit computer, my computer actually has a 512 bit wide ALU for SIMD, basically it lets you do the same operation on multiple numbers simultaneously.

You can do your part by just starting your own website.

Ext4 is old, but fast and very robust. You won't loose data or corrupt the filesystem if your system looses power. It can even survive partial wipes, if you accidentally overwrite the first few megs of you drive with a messed up dd, nearly all your data will be recoverable, including filenames and directory structure.

It doesn't have very fancy features, but it is the best tested and most robust option available. (also the fastest due to its simplicity)

Btrfs has things like copy on write files that can protect you from an accidental rm, but this won't save you from drive failures, so you still need backups for important data.

The single biggest improvement from here is to increase the contrast so the text is readable. https://contrastrebellion.com/
