“96GB of DDR3” will never really be “low power”, take it from a guy who built a homelab with a DDR3 machines a while ago…but you should still pick up whatever hardware you can as soon as you can. Like, seriously, they’re taking personal computing away from us.

Just as the Lord Jesus commanded to Noah

Wow the same people who don’t trust vaccines because they read words on a computer screen and it became their belief with zero critical thinking now want all of it done that way for everyone’s every desire

Parasites.

Nothing is being transported via constellation satellites that wasn’t already paid for by the American people (and then not delivered on).

Why would we want our infrastructure to be the most polluting expensive version (with shit latency BTW so you can’t selfhost), in control of basically one asshole billionaire who will gleefully censor whatever he feels like, after a critical mass of dependency has been reached?

Are you glad we put our communication into such a restrictive model under a monopoly that’s cozy with a fascist government?

Stop lying to yourself and others that this was “the most efficient outcome”.

If you have the capability to build a laser that can focus enough energy, from the ground through the atmosphere, with enough precision to lock on to an LEO constellation member long enough to disable it, you’d probably already either be captured, or working for DoD.

Also: great, you exploded it before reentry. Now we have a hundred thousand smaller, lighter fragments skipping off the atmosphere, disbursing randomly, and spinning around like hypersonic chaff bullets for actual worthwhile spacecraft and satellites to fly through, twinkling in infrared like a billion new streaky sparkles on those telescopes. It takes a lot longer for all that bullshit to rain down, and it pollutes just the same. Tell me, who were you fighting for again and why?

This is like when the humans blacken the sky in the Matrix to defeat the machines. Yeah it wrecked the earth, but is also didn’t defeat them and they just found something else to exploit.

DDR3 is also pretty power hungry. Source: me, who built a homelab out of old DDR3 rackmount servers and can now no longer afford to run them.

Charlie comes out with some poor takes sometimes, but I think he’s just misinformed and not malicious, which I can’t say about Assmold or the rest of the influencers that have wandered into politics in recent years

T: minus-6-months and counting until Stock Buyback initiation…

It’s not useless, It’s so they can analyze all the photos you ever take and see who you associate with and what products you own so they can determine your needs and likely income so they can put more ads in front of you that are likely to work

Just like how they already scan all your private documents that they just decided were theirs to upload one day in order to see what you write about and how much you budget and h̶̘͖͐̂ȏ̵̖̀w̴̰̲̅ ̶̩͕͠ẙ̵̝͗o̶͙̓̍u̶͈͈͆̃ ̷̨̜̽f̸̫͌ͅu̸͎͒̓c̴̳̗͌͛k̶̰̏i̸͖̥̽ņ̶͇͋͝g̵̘̓ ̷͈̏t̶͓̋h̷̬͗͌͜ī̶̼͙̇ǹ̷̗̾ḱ̷͚̝̾ ̵̙̎̋a̵͇͐ǹ̵̩̼ḋ̸̩̗̐ ̵͚̘̈́o̶̥͑̍p̴̖̫̏̂ē̴̟̱̈r̸̖̜͂å̷̲̣t̶̥̍̓è̵͉̖

If businesses are people then people are businesses.

It’s so much worse than the rent they will charge us, brother.

If you thought Flock cameras were a bad situation, imagine not being able to query, read, write, or probably even speak about topics that they decide are “unpatriotic” or “satanic”.

LGBTQIA+, anti-Christianity, anti-capitalist, all that shit they declared were “terror group activity” that sounded like McCarthy red scare bullshit? Imagine being gay and not being able to talk about it IN YOUR OWN HOME. Imagine not being able to criticize politicians in private. Imagine being forced to do Christianity when you aren’t Christian.

Imagine not owning any electronics and being held under suspicion of plotting against the government, even if you’re that guy who thinks he’s so damn smart by not participating, he’s not falling for that…while the world crumbles around him, you guys are dumb not him. (Ok bro hopefully we don’t find out)

These motherfuckers think they are gonna make automated kill bots which eliminate any worker drones in the hive that do not bend to their queen bee.

Our only hope, our ONLY hope, is that they are as incompetent as they appear to be.

Wildcard is actually good these days because you don’t have to set up DNS entries for your hostnames.

It’s not security, just obscurity - but in the age of crawlers, it’s helpful.

Also, you can use it internally for services on LAN and because LetsEncrypt is a CA everyone trusts, you don’t need to register a local CA (like a FreeIPA instance) with all your devices- which sometimes isn’t possible.

EDIT: you can also use DNS01 challenges and instead of proving yourself by serving up a challenge response from a server, you prove ownership by adding a DNS TXT entry with the response. It is safer, from a security perspective, to use one cert per service.

What happens when someone makes an unsafe backfeed into a downed grid and then other nearby inverters detect the current and bring themselves back online? Is there a way to detect if the load is being delivered from the utility vs from incorrectly configured solar or generator installations?

Some others are arguing back and forth about this elsewhere in the thread and I see the reasoning: unpermitted systems could accidentally energize isolated portions of the grid during downtime, which might trick properly installed systems to also come back online, and you have a runaway effect where there is enough current present to allow addition safety systems to be fooled.

There isn’t any data transmission over the wires; there either is current, or there isn’t. Arguing over permitting is moot - either safety systems can handle this scenario already, or they can’t.

All paperwork does is slow the relief of dependence on the utility, which hurts their profits.

I don’t think the school district is very keen on wiping their laptops and installing your own OS on them.

There is no such thing as a privacy first AI, unless you’ve the hardware to run the model yourself (and, you don’t).
