I loved Mariners line about the enterprise crew talking slowly. The difference in speed between the SNW and LD dialogue was something I noticed and this one line made it click for me. Fantastic
For sure. Though, the sensors will pick up when the first of two seals break, you could potentially use the system while a replacement seal is being worked on. If you're feeling adventurous that is. ;)
I figure if you buy that house in that location, the cost of having it fixed isnt even on your radar.
Feel like this would have made a great theme for Photoshop battles
I'm not against corporations integrating with the fediverse, but I do think that federating with Meta will be a net negative for the fediverse as a whole, atleast in its current state.
First of all, In a purely practical sense, since we're still struggling to keep different instances in sync with the amount of content that is here today. We're going to have a real bad time trying to sync threads content, while they can probably sync the rest of the fediverse without breaking a sweat. I am afraid that we're going to drastically increase the compute necessary to maintain a cohesive fediverse, and that we're just going to hand Meta the keys to the castle as they are the only one able to provide this service at that scale. This is probably less of an issue for Mastodon, where you subscribe to users and not communities.
Furthermore, I'll come out and say that I like that this place is more niche. I've found a lot more joy posting here than i did on reddit or twitter, despite the lower user count. I don't think that access to a large user base is necessarily going to make this a better place for the group that is here now. I think we as a fediverse needs to grow a bit as a community before we can even hope to take in Meta without it warping the entire community to the point that its no longer itself.
I have a big enough house to be able to put this machine somewhere out of the way but there are plenty of cheap server gear on classifieds. I paid ish 300 euros for a 32 core machine with 40gb ram. I can host all the things without it even breaking a sweat.
Probably uses a lot more electricity, but I haven't really noticed it on my power bill
I swapped to Linux for similar reasons many years ago. The initial idea was to hedge and get familiar with it so I had peace of mind. I ended up staying in the Linux sphere for most of my devices , except for my music production machine that still run windows.
Yeah, it really sounds a bit low. I'm not sure what else goes into these containers. I assume there might also be a bunch of portable equipment and cabling that goes into moving the data in and out of the container? Power infrastructure and cooling and what probably takes up quite a bit of space as well.
Reminds me of AWS Snowmobile, which is literally a shipping container filled with harddrives.
Honestly, I've been off reddit for a long time. Reddit made casual lurking so hard I stopped bothering.
That being said, the fediverse has probably been the first time in some time where I've had fun on the internet. It has somewhat recaptured the old spirit of finding new interesting things and communities online, even if most of them are just lemmy instances, and the same kind of content that was on reddit.
I think the reason for the high result count is because it allows results with both fuck and spez,
"fuck spez" OR "fuck u/spez" site:reddit.com
gives around 103,000 results which is probably more accurate, but sadly less hilarious.
