Sethayy ,

Kinda like when an AI is overtrained on one thing that wasn’t really correlated to its original goal, we’ve attempted to create a system that organizes collaboration between people; were now so overtrained on acquiring wealth that some would rather the planet burn than risk acquiring slightly less.

Its similar enough to a trail of ants in a death spiral; the same essential survival instincts that their society depends on, now nefariously dooming all involved to a slow starvation.

That being said similarly to the ants most of the populace will do the average (as it’s what’s kept us alive this long so how could it harm us?) And continue the spiral, but if one individual is able to reconnect the spiral to the main pheramone train the entire death spiral may be avoided

Sethayy ,

I’m begging everyone to watch the intro script of Reefer Madness, its honestly comedy gold how horribly its aged

Sethayy ,

It was underpowered when it came out and didn’t introduce anything their other consoles didnt already have (nor have I ever seen someone use half the features).

What’s really impressive is the devs making games for it, showing off how much the mobile gaming market is holding us back by making Candy Crush Soda Ultra Supermax

Sethayy ,

But you may have with your Gameboy, gameboy advanced, Ds, dsi, dsiXL, 2ds, 3ds, wiiu, PSP, or PSP vita.

And if you consider a portable HDMI output important, laptops and phones could do this probably half a decade before the switch came out

Sethayy ,

So then drop your phone and pick up your friends.

What number do you have now?

Or if you really want an IP to follow you plug in your router at your friends house.

Sethayy ,

For the laptop thing you realistically could by a WAN IP per device, itd just be expensivr and also a massive security issue DMZ’ing all your devices

Does color change how hot a laser can get something?

For convenience sake let’s say you have 2 identical lasers, one is blue and one is red. And you shine it on lead (so none of the light leaks through) until the lead doesn’t heat up anymore. Would the temperature change at all between the different color lasers. It doesn’t have to be red or blue, it could be microwave or x...

Sethayy ,

If you’re measuring energy input by rating on the box yes, but instead of assuming that is your measurement data, they assumed perfect conversion.

It has the same end result descriptively but I’d argue that perfect conversion paints an easier to understand theoretical image, vs a more rigid practical image

Sethayy ,

You’re telling me only visible light counts as light to lasers?

Sethayy ,

I mean its at least tiptoeing the line between ignorance and malice, with decades of ignorance is starting to be indistinguishable from malice

Sethayy ,

The most virgin thing you could possibly say to seeing this

Sethayy ,

Still statistically significant, even with a high margin of error our only evidence points towards it being a trend

Sethayy ,

But given the choice between coins you’d still most likely pick the one that was successful, even if its 99% chance its nonsense - the other coins would have 99.9% (made up numbers).

So out of our analogy, we can’t be sure beyond resonable doubt to arrest Boeing, but a message has clearly been sent to any future whistleblowers

Sethayy ,

I mean I’d be happy to hear the other vulnerabilities then, cause I find it fairly unbelievable you can know how they’re handled on every single Wayland compositor

Sethayy ,

I think the most confusing part is that you want both the backend and gui to exist, yet don’t like the current back end.

Realistically you could create some super weird controller using all your sensors at once and just wrap it around termux/adb.

Things like termux’ first goal is to work both programmatically and via a user, a wheel that would be pretty difficult to recreate just for phones

Sethayy ,

I mean not to go against the propaganda but shouldn’t we allow kids to have vaccines without a boatload of cash?

Just cause you save a million kids doesn’t mean you can harm 10 million more, though that could mean a 10x return on investment

Sethayy ,

Brain scan tossed in a robot makes 2 Simons

Sethayy ,

And interestingly enough the home directory itself falls outside of itself

Sethayy ,

Everything. Is. A. File.

Sethayy ,

Oddly enough this made me realise I solely use directory for windows, I think cause windows uses dir instead of ls and cd is used in both lmao

Sethayy ,

Just for an anecdote on functional vlans, I once knew someone that had their WAN sent into a managed switch, set it on a vlan with their router elsewhere in the network

Sethayy ,

“Well he did it first” is really not how I want a government to be run tbh

Sethayy ,

So I suppose put it like this: what if the way for Facebook to make the most money is all their current operations + pushing the rightwing agenda? (or leftwing depending on what team you’re on).

How is that any less meddling than tik tok? Sure Facebook is based in america, but has clearly shown it cares much more about its own interests than any country.

It just feels like trusting a tank of gas cause you just saw someone get lit on fire by a tank of diesel

Sethayy ,

So youre telling me you have 3 cookies in front of you, you’d call them the zeroth, first and second cookies?

Someone asks what cookie youre on and you say second having already eaten 2.5?

Sethayy ,

Cause even then you’ll probably just whine and complain their translator isnt accurate enough or something.

They’ve already provided a lot more info than you just saying ‘ackshully’ which carries a credibility of 0, even if their sources were shit (not saying they are or aren’t)

Sethayy , (edited )

As a nano engineer, youre 100% right - with the added slowdowns of safety research. Many of these particles are entirely different beasts on a nanoscale, an example commonly used is microscopic copper is just copper, nanoscopic will have you dead within the hour if inhaled (dont quote my timeframe on that one).

That being said many cool materials are still coming out, just aren’t yet at that commercialized availability level yet.

For example graphene has the potential to replace copper -at least in high performance applications- cause its got some fucked levels of conductivity

Edit for some more examples cause I’m a nerd about this stuff:

Carbon nanotubes make vantablack, the material that can absorb 99.9% of visible light (not that exciting beyond a party trick commercially, but in areas trying to minimize electromagnetic noise this is revolutionary).

Silver nanoparticles have been shown to have passive disinfectant properties, leading to the possibility of a cloth that you could run dirty water through and make it drinkable.

And my favorite being we’ve already created the carbon based structures (can’t recall if it was nanotubes specifically) with theoretically high enough tensile strength that if made a couple kilometers long could be used to lasso an asteroid and create a space elavator

Sethayy ,

Shit you and us all.

Worst part of nano is that error is intristic, how much error is where the fun comes in

Sethayy ,

Thats the coolest part, ie the old thing about a chain only being as strong as its weakest link, and a chain of sufficient length couldn’t even hold a feather due to its own weight.

The CNT’s (if near perfectly atomically aligned) and give them an INSANE tensile strength, some numbers I just googled puts steel at about 620 MPa (0.62 GPa) whereas the CNT’s that have been made are pushing 80 GPa.

Obviously something this big is already gonna be a multi-governmental collaboration, but all you need then is to find the easiest reasonable sized meteor to DART our way, and catch that bitch on the way by.

For the atmosphere part, it would have to be an entirely geostationary orbit, and so really you would have the same winds as expected on skyscrapers (plus a bit). All this the tensile strength has more than enough wiggle room for.

Material costs aren’t too bad too considering its nearly a hydrocarbon, and the strength only requires a fairly thin cable - in equivalent terms imagine the material for a road as long, we’ve got millions of km’s of them, 100 is easy

Sethayy ,

For sure, and thats generally the goal of any engieering - the biggest question is what error are we measuring? Something like vesting a fully autonomous drone, not even close; tubes in a funny shape that trap all light, were already there 99.9%

Sethayy ,

Not really self hosting if youre not hosting it yourself no?

Sethayy ,

Yeah but like not everyone has a a thousand acres either - though you dont hear shoppers at the farmers market calling themselves farmers

Sethayy ,

Halarious to read as a non-american cause sure California is the best of y’all, but it is NOT progressive compared of some of the world

N100 Mini PC w/ 3xNVMe?

Not sure why this doesn’t exist. I don’t need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could...

Sethayy ,

Alpine Linux’s setup has some nice options for this too

Sethayy ,

Though it could be cheaper to have a backup or 2, all identical bits stored on them and swap them out as(/if) they fail

Sethayy ,

Cause dolphin ships with the decryption keys for a wii (the part yuzu makes you dump yourself)

Sethayy ,

Nothing is legal/illegal til proven in court, those willing to fight to prove legality doesnt define anything really

Sethayy ,

Amen, but me doing a rolling stop in butt fuck Alberta certainly feels a lot more legal then plowing through a school zone stop sign in downtown new york, although they are both illegal.

My point is value is a target with much more to lose and literally no cards in the game (shit dolphin’s free, theyre not even making profit off it) so why would they fight others battle’s

Sethayy ,

USB/IP for a KVM switch might still work, as long as termux supports all that

Sethayy ,

If you wanna go a bit overkill, moonlight + sunshine has one of the lowest latencies out there

Sethayy ,

Or even on a high end computer, how long just opong simple apps takes? It kills me every time

How does data sent over the internet know where to go?

I saw a map of undersea internet cables the other day and it’s crazy how many branches there are. It got me wondering - if I’m (based in the UK) playing an online game from someone in Japan for example, how is the route worked out? Does my ISP know that to get to place X, the data has to be routed via cable 1, cable 2 etc....

Sethayy ,

Look into MII, RMII and RGMII if you want a google starting point

Sethayy ,

But it still does have to get on your hard drive somehow, which tends not to be as convenient as opening an app and clinking play

Tracker recommendations

I’m pretty new to the scene and am trying to build up a content library for a jellyfin instance I’m running. I know a lot of the higher quality torrents are on private trackers so im intested in joining one but the ones ive found seem pretty closed. Even the ones with open sign-ups seen to want proof of my reputation with...

Sethayy ,

Not to highjack the thread but is it required not to use a VPN to join private trackers? I’m in a similar situation as OP and want to up my speeds, but I’m worried about privacy

What's the real world connection speed from your residential IP to your Server?

I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine....

Sethayy ,

Distributed my servers across a couple old PC’s hooked up to a 10 gig switch, admittedly I hardly use it for anything - but my syncthing cloud maxes out any connection locally

Sethayy ,

Linux its just / then from there you can mount other drives at whatever directory you want

But also 100€ ain’t all too cheap for some of us

Sethayy ,

Or mount it in RAID0/whatever the zfs equivalent is.

The downside over one disk is many have more possible points of failed, taking out the whole array - so ideally another RAID would be best

Sethayy ,

I’m just talking prebuilt solutions here, but how would you use an index’d storage base if the drives weren’t connected? Sounds like that’s an issue regardless

Sethayy ,

Ok, compile some code on your PlayStation

Sethayy ,

How’d anything but profits motivate this?
