I don’t mind paying full price for a game, as long as I own it in the end and that the game is not ridiculously short.
Paying 70 euros for a game with less than 7hrs of playtime to get to the end, and artificially padded with collectibles around a open world is a ripoff especially when the game requires licensing servers to be online to play, even for single-player.
My point was that there is no need to replicate everything everywhere. If the data is replicated a cross 5 instances per region for instance, it’s enough for replication needs. If you self host lemmy and subscribes to large communities on your instance, you can quickly overload your server. We need activity pub to be more lightweight if we want smaller instances to thrive.
Some people change phones every year, or more often than that, then there’s all the coffee makers, small electronics nobody thinks about (watches, radios), computers and laptops, tvs, speakers, smart lights, kitchen tools, cars, anything digital (like calipers), power tools… Depending on what you count, it could add up to ridiculous numbers for some, skewing the average
They get hated on because :
they inspect packets. They terminate the TLS sessions at their servers and reencrypt to forward to the backend. This allows them to analyze the data to spot spam, optimize compression and such
they are used everywhere. If they go down, 30% of the internet goes with them.
People suggested formatting to exFAT which is valid, but first you could just try either compressing the file (tar czvf file tarball.tgz for instance). FAT32 cannot handle files larger than 4GB, and compression might just make your file small enough.
As a workaround you could also split it in half and stich it back on the target machine
So if the housing market crashed like really bad, by say everybody owning multiple homes being suddenly unable to afford the loans for that many homes, what would happen?
The banks would have to repossess the properties. And sell them on the market, but with many homes to sell, the price would come down crashing.
One can dream.
Decline meetings. Tbh as a senior your time is more valuable to the company fixing hard problems and architecturing solutions than doing the job of a pm / po.
It already exists. There is a company that sells a space heater that mines crypto currency. You get like 50% or the profits which sucks, but you at least recoup a bit of the cost of the electricity to run the heater.
I think we should try to heat ourselves with computing as much as we can since the side effect of computing is heat generation (and minor RF losses). How cool would it be to make a large supercomputer out of millions of homes heating up in the winter?
My guess is click farms with some unknown custom made os that skew that data?
That also might be a source of Linux users hence the relatively high market share of the OS?
Not to mention that India still has a lot of call centers (some for scams) that may use Linux because it’s free (compared to a windows license)
The problem is that it is chromium based, hence giving Google more power in deciding internet standards (like their web environment integrity API proposed a few months ago)
I think you’re part of the problem dude, tipping 10% when they shouldn’t be asking for tips means that it’s worth it to them to now ask for tips.
The doctor is a monster for creating the monster.
I already thought about disabling the dedicated GPU on that laptop, but I unfortunately cannot since I need it to train neural networks and the occasional lan party at, work
I’ve used truenas scale (comes with k3s preinstalled) and I ended up fucking up the cluster on accident a couple of times (mostly because of power outages), I’ve since moved over to Debian and a manual kubeadm install. Will make upgrading the cluster a bit more painful, but so far it’s stable (ish, I have had issues with the Nvidia containerd backend)
I know that banks in Europe are bound by law to follow PSD2, which is a set of guidelines to propose APIs. I found a stackoverflow post to generate the required certificates for that but those are only supposed to be for testing purposes https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50045376/how-to-create-eidas-certificate-with-qwac-and-qsealc-profiles-psd2-specific-att
You can use the PSD2 api to fetch the transactions from your account directly, that would be a lot less troublesome. There is also the woob (formerly weboob) project that has web scraping for a lot of banks (specifically french but also some American ones like amex)
My company didn’t leave me a choice, I got an XPS 15 which I had to setup with my distro of choice (but all the internal tooling is for Ubuntu, I personally would have preferred to install Fedora or Debian 12 with i3wm).
It’s not that bad a laptop but it overheats like crazy and has really shit battery life (barely enough for a meeting), and some of its features I can’t explain : why is a 4k touchscreen on a laptop a good thing? It eats 4x the battery for no noticeable visual improvement. I don’t use my laptop 5 inches from my face.
About 15k€ per square meter. I live in Paris, France. I eventually could afford a 20 square meter studio appartement, and I’m in the top 10% of earners.
The rest of France varies wildly, you could get a small house in the middle of nowhere for 150k,but parisian real estate is way out there…
You could use grafana loki to handle logs, it’s similar to Prometheus so if you’re already using that and/or grafana it’s an easy setup and the API is really simple too.
Find a mountain rich in iron frequently struck my thunder. You’re bound to find lodestones on that.
Playing devil’s advocate here but there could be legitimate reasons to prevent features of an app if you don’t give the permissions.
Things like professional type apps that need geolocation to work (geofencing, photo geoloc) or because x big shot client wants to track their employees and you’re just forced to accept that unless you want to declare bankruptcy.
Definitely is a very hostile pattern though and there’s no reason for meta to do this shit…
