Great question, but I’m too high for this shit

Gerudo , to nostupidquestions in What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?

I’m going to speculate you have some issues with power delivery. Are you in an older home or get hit with brown/black outs? Could be under or over voltage by enough to burn through them. I have used dollar store bulbs all the way to hue branded bulbs. I might have had one die early from dozens in 2 different properties.

MrsDoyle , to nostupidquestions in ELI5: how do mobile devices know your movements?

I was out walking with a friend the other day and he tripped and fell. His watch told him, “It seems you’ve fallen sharply.” He had to tap the screen to stop it calling the emergency services. The other friend walking with us said his wife’s watch tells her to stand up if she’s been sitting too long. “And she does it!” I’m officially a curmudgeon, grumbling about tech taking over.

I actually really like this kind of tech that is focused on health and safety. I just wish it weren’t also reporting all this shit to corporate overlords.

As someone who did not stand up often enough, listen to it. I can barely sit for 15 minutes now without being in excruciating pain. The only chairs I can comfortably sit in are recliners. I’m only 40 now, and my problem started at least a decade ago. It’s common advice for a reason.

Dark Souls 1 and it was Chaos Witch Quelaag. I don’t know how many times she killed me, but it has to have been over 20. I got destroyed over and over again.

As someone recently love bombed, yep, this is accurate. The worst part is if you let it continue it will work on you. The only winning move is not to play

MangoPenguin , to selfhosted in Stop services while creating snapshots during backup?
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You start the backup, db is backed up, now image assets are being copied. That could take an hour.

For the initial backup maybe, but subsequent incrementals should only take a minute or two.

I don’t bother stopping services, it’s too time intensive to deal with setting that up.

I’ve yet to meet any service that can’t recover smoothly from a kill -9 equivalent, any that did sure wouldn’t be in my list of stuff I run anymore.

It depends on the dataset. If the dataset itself is very large, just walking it to figure out what the incremental part is can take a while on spinning disks. Concrete example - Immich instance with 600GB of data, hundreds of thousands of files, sitting on a 5-disk RAIDz2 of 7200RPM disks. Just walking the directory structure and getting the ctimes takes over an hour. Suboptimal hardware, suboptimal workload. The only way I could think of speeding it up is using ZFS itself to do the backups with send/recv, thus avoiding the file operations altogether. But if I do that, I must use ZFS on the backup machine too.

I’ve yet to meet any service that can’t recover smoothly from a kill -9 equivalent, any that did sure wouldn’t be in my list of stuff I run anymore.

My thoughts precisely.

MangoPenguin ,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Oooh yeah I can imagine RAIDz2 on top of using spinning disks would be very slow, especially with access times enabled on ZFS.

What backup software are you using? I’ve found restic to be reasonably fast.

avidamoeba OP , (edited )
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Currently duplicity but rsync took similar amount of time. The incremental change is typically tens or hundreds of files, hundreds of megabytes total. They take very little to transfer.

If I can keep the service up while it’s backing up, I don’t care much how long it takes. Snapshots really solve this well. Even if I stop the service while creating the snapshot, it’s only down for a few seconds. I might even get rid of the stopping altogether but there’s probably little point to that given how short the downtime is. I don’t have to fulfill an SLA. 😂

Yeah sounds like snapshots is the way to go!

Are you a beautiful Italian gymnast skilled enough to become an olympian?

kate ,

no but i can eat a whole box of kraft mac n cheese in one sitting if i try rly hard

kate ,

can olympians do that? i’ve never seen any of them do it so i will assume not.

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io avatar

Oh yeah, the will 100% annihilate a box of mac and cheese. Like, just devour. Like it's nothing.

It's unreal, they consume an absolutely absurd amount of calories. Some athletes expend enough in a day to power most of us for almost a week.

They will take that box and turn it into a bunch of backflips or something wild.

kate ,

is that how they get the cheese sponsorship??

kate ,

plz i need to know

I'll have to check the rule book but as someone who knows extremely little about Parmesan cheese (other than the fact that is fucking delicious), I would say you have promise and will go far in the cheese universe.

intensely_human , to explainlikeimfive in Why won't fediverse instances bloat and pop?

Yeah that’s a problem with web apps in general: their databases just grow and grow.

intensely_human , to explainlikeimfive in ELI5: In computer networking, what is a port?

A port is like an apartment number. Except instead of apartments, it’s just mailboxes. Bob’s mailbox is number 25. If you want to get a message to Bob, uou write “box 25” on the address.

A port number is just an additional piece of info that the operating system associates with a particular program. If something comes in on port 22, the sshd is going to handle it because it’s “listening on port 22”, meaning that it has registered itself with the OS as the recipient of anything that comes in marked “port 22”.

intensely_human , to explainlikeimfive in ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?

You have to be sorry to be forgiven. If you weren’t trying in the first place, it’s hard to be sorry.

But also, the thing isn’t designed to be balanced or suitable.

Jesus will forgive you because that’s how it works. The system wasn’t designed by humans.
