How is it obvious?

Wow. Equally confident, equally confused.

Home entertainment with NAS?

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a beamer projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of ‘always on’ machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though...

Motorcycle, actually.

I’m afraid this one is already taken, friend.

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?

Your timeline is straight up fucked. In short, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Enough to necessitate this meme.

Why did you write this here?

It was no trouble.

Side of bed debate - Which side is left?

Which side of the bed is the left side? Is the answer based on the perspective of laying in the bed (person’s head at the head end)? Is the answer based on viewing it from the foot of the bed, looking at the head of the bed? Is there an “anatomical position” or special terminology like in boating for this?...

emptiestplace ,

Imagine you are driving the bed

actually quite enjoyable, ty!

emptiestplace ,

I understand approximately half of what you wrote, but I see quite a few people upvoted you. Is this what dementia is like?

emptiestplace ,

I actually wasn’t being negative, but carry on.

emptiestplace ,

I appreciate them in print, but do not ever want to see them in my terminal.

emptiestplace ,

No idea what held in is, but I live in vim, and … no ligatures, thanks. Same with italics. Ligatures with fixed-width fonts make no sense. I especially hate the combined arrow symbols: why draw attention to something so unimportant?

emptiestplace ,

While I respect your choice to make things more ‘beautiful’ in your editor, I do not think we should ever do this by default.

It might seem nice visually, but suddenly we are not seeing things exactly as the compiler does. And as someone who has spent a lot of time helping folks debug their code, I feel quite strongly that this is just further obfuscating an already challenging field - for superficial gains.

emptiestplace ,

You probably need to learn a bit more about VCS fundamentals if you think Subversion would’ve been fine.

emptiestplace ,

Torvalds didn’t create git because he was passionate about version control systems, he created it because the existing solutions were not adequate.

Git is a distributed version control system (DVCS) that facilitated a fundamental shift in how people collaborate on software projects in general. So, comparing it to SVN and downplaying the significance of Git suggests you’ve kind of missed the point.

Edit: with you on the other thing though - fuck Windows.

emptiestplace ,

You’re thinking in terms of a single dev using revision control, but the person you responded to was referring to the higher level aspects of software development that git facilitates. In other words, you’ve completely missed the point.

As for the Linux kernel, if it hadn’t come along, we’d likely be living in FreeBSD-dominated world. Or, perhaps Hurd would’ve received more attention.

emptiestplace ,

Do you think the existence of the Linux kernel might’ve had an effect on how Hurd was prioritized? Also, FreeBSD wasn’t too far behind, chronologically.

I’m not saying Linux is unimportant (or even less important), but I think some folks here are pretty clueless about the significance of widespread DVCS adoption.

emptiestplace ,

I don’t know why this specific thing is so common on Lemmy though, I don’t think it happened in reddit.

When you’re used to knowing a lot relative to the people around you, learning to listen sometimes becomes optional.

Do you take everything personally?

How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?

Hello, I’m relatively new to self-hosting and recently started using Unraid, which I find fantastic! I’m now considering upgrading my storage capacity by purchasing either an 8TB or 10TB hard drive. I’m exploring both new and used options to find the best deal. However, I’ve noticed that prices vary based on the specific...

emptiestplace ,

Yeah, you don’t want a surveillance drive. They are optimized for continuous writes, not random IO.

It’s probably worth familiarizing yourself with the difference between CMR and SMR drives.

If you expect this to keep growing, it might make sense to switch to SAS now - then you can find some really cheap enterprise class drives on ebay that will perform a bit better in this type of configuration. You’d just need a cheap HBA (like a 9211-8i) and a couple breakout cables. You can use SATA drives with a SAS HBA, but not the other way around.

emptiestplace ,

Definitely isn’t necessary, but if you search for ‘3.5" SAS lot’ on ebay you might find all the drives you’ll need to get to 50TB for the price of a couple new SATA drives.

emptiestplace ,

I think you might be off by a few years at least, a 40MB drive in 1982 would’ve been incredibly uncommon.

emptiestplace ,

“Mid-range systems” is not referring to personal computers. “8-inch drives” is another clue.

emptiestplace ,

SSD RAID is actually very common outside of home use! And yeah, clustered filesystems help overcome many of these limitations, but tend to be extremely demanding (expensive hardware for comparable performance). Network almost immediately becomes the bottleneck. Even forgetting about latency and other network efficiency concerns, 100 Gbps isn’t that fast when you have individual devices approaching 16 Gbps.

emptiestplace ,

It could be the same.

ehh… I think you’re missing the part where Microsoft is actively exploiting its customer base throughout its entire product catalogue - the likelihood that this is an actual win is no.

They wouldn’t be, they would be sorted by signal strength. I think that’s around 40-50% of the joke, though.

After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail (theintercept.com)

I think I might’ve had a hard time not judging him for sharing that in an interview. Good on you for not.

I’d love to read a book about the organizational struggles they’ve faced over the years, but I guess that would just be political history… :(

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

emptiestplace ,

Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat.

Wow, very interesting! I really admire the way you make sense.

emptiestplace ,

Censure is me yelling at you for using the wrong word.

emptiestplace ,

It’s also because they fucking suck at managing complexity. Almost everything they make is fourteen arbitrarily named editions of the exact same bug-riddled trash we know and love. 365/Azure/fuckingentrawhat are barely usable. It’s almost like they specialize in UI synchronization bugs - but I remember this being a problem even with Windows 3.1.

I realize this isn’t a particularly hot take on Lemmy, but let’s not pretend that all software is equally deficient - because there absolutely are better options.

emptiestplace ,

Microsoft’s Authenticator app is AWFUL. Just one example - there is a setting to backup to iCloud, but when you try to enable it, it demands you add a secondary (personal) Microsoft account.

emptiestplace ,

This is fucking useless. Please stop.

emptiestplace ,

Let’s flip it, then: what about this post is useful?

emptiestplace ,

This community needs moderation. :(

emptiestplace ,

Thank you for sharing your opinion and your brilliant advice on how to be constructive. I especially enjoyed the part where you said I shouted my comment with anger—that was really good!

emptiestplace ,

From the bottom of my tortured soul: fuck Windows.

emptiestplace ,

Have you automated host record creation?

emptiestplace ,

Ah, that would make it easy. I can’t use a wildcard with most of my domains, but maybe I could set up subdomains to have this convenience for dev/test sites. Thanks!

I suspect it would be trivial to add a hook to dynamically create (and remove, maybe) DNS records, just haven’t tried yet.

emptiestplace ,

Lots of different hosts, multiple load balancers / ingress controllers.
