Asahi linux already ships a VM to run steam on macbooks. And the VM is not even doing the heavy lifting. They do cpu instruction translation on the go, the VM is there just to solve some memory allocation quirks.

Proxmox is based on Debian, but its installer does not offer you as many options as the base Debian installer. People figured out you can just install debian with your prefered settings and then just slap the proxmox packages on top.

Oracle free tier is honestly not worth the hassle. Their portal is absolutely confusing, and those who figure it out will just get banned.

Someone already tried.

A television commercial for the loyalty program displayed the commercial’s protagonist flying to school in a McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II vertical take off jet aircraft, valued at $37.4 million at the time, which could be redeemed for 7,000,000 Pepsi Points. The plaintiff, John Leonard, discovered these could be directly purchased from Pepsi at 10¢ per point. Leonard delivered a check for $700,008.50 to PepsiCo, attempting to purchase the jet.

Why stop with power? We should aim for water outages as well! Just when I was starting to think this might not be a pathological ideology…

Good luck to the admins though, I appreciate the effort to stay out of cloud. It’s hard to maintain constant uptime when you don’t have teams of people dedicated to keep stuff afloat.

Now when I think about it, is it even possible to run lemmy on a cluster, like a regular web app, or is it a monolith?

Running the so-called AI workloads on the edge is what we want. Especially if the alternative is to run them on google servers.

There is currently no alternative to android. Every alternative is both less secure and less usable.

like the desktop icons, the minimize button, the ability to adjust fonts, change themes, right click menu icons, systray…

From the promotional materials I’ve seen so far, the game seems to be a showcase for the SpacetimeDB backend so this move does actually make sense.

Nomophobia

There is a religious figure in the sacred texts of the AllatRa cult, called Nomo. In this context, nomophopbia would be a good thing. Especially once you find out whom in the real world he’s supposed to represent.

People believed the weirdest things, like walking with a twig would help you find water pipes

Not only they still do, it’s thought in schools and practiced by the water utility professionals in the field.

They’ve charged me a hundred bucks for their expertise, to which I’ve composed an angry email, asking whether the ministry of magic would be willing to cover the damage if we, somehow, despite their findings, manage to find the pipe where it’s not supposed to be, with the front part of the excavator. They advised us to dig carefully, not addressing the magic ritual part at all.

Question for the general public. Why not use the DNS server provided by your ISP?

They already know what websites you visit, because TLS1.2 still leaks the hostname. They might as well provide some useful service in return.

Each of them returns the correct answer.

Peertube has a major disadvantage, though. It does not come with prebuilt revenue stream to cover your hosting costs.

In other words, he would become the customer, not the product, which comes with the certain set of advantages and disadvantages.

edit: or he could spin up his own instance, which would result in him having one more fulltime job :)

Clearly someone who has never seen the dedication of the flight sim community. Those guys would put all of us, hobby service providers, to shame.

Ye has since sued his dentist for “recklessly” supplying Ye with “dangerous amounts of nitrous oxide”.

When you think a person can’t surprise you anymore…

On the other hand, the whole Ye situation kinda start to make sense now.

Excellent thought-provoking story. If you always wondered how you’d react in extreme circumstances, this is your chance.

It fucked me up for days.

• 10/10 for the story,
• 5/10 for the control scheme.

Physical or digital does not really matter. Gving such a powerful tool to a central bank seems too dangerous. If implemented, it’s not really a question of IF it’s going to be abused, but WHEN it’s going to be abused.

The digital currencies were supposed to give more power to the people, but the Taler is working in the oposite direction.

You’ve pretty accurately described everything that’s wrong with it.

That’s my main problem. They had a chance to make it fully anonymous and fungible, yet decided to implement an intentional vulnerability to reveal the receiving party.
