Kubernetes and SSD Read Cache - Beautiful Silence

So I run a small Kubernetes cluster (k3s) backed by MariaDB hosted on a Synology NAS with only HDDs rather than etcd colocated on the control nodes. For resiliency purposes it’s been great, nodes are basically pure compute resources I can wipe out and recreate with ease and not worry about data loss. However, for over a year...

Does existence of a language authority influence opinions about descriptivism/prescriptivism?

I was thinking of this because in my country there’s an institute which determines correct language and therefore many people speak or write their native language incorrectly. Whereas in English there’s no central authority which would write the rules....

Why is my browser trying to pull content from several other Lemmy instances?

I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren’t trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn’t...

Looking for experiment design advice (Electroencephalogram)

The reason for this is because we’re a plural system, and want brainwave data on what happens when we do various system stuff. Pretty obviously there’s going to be some bias involved on account of who we are, but we’re going to try being...

It will either go to a black screen with the cursor still showing, and the computer running, or it will show a half frozen sddm looking screen with the computer still running. The computer, in both cases, will be wholly unresponsive, and the only way to...

To those who are concerned about datamining by Meta through Threads

This has been repeated several times now, but an important reminder: Meta doesn’t need Threads to mine your data. Lemmy has been designed to be very easy to scrape due to its open APIs. Don’t worry yourself: Meta can, will, and is already scraping all of your data from the past and the future. They may not be able to see...

About Instagram's "Threads" and people's concerns about privacy

I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he...
