Who needs an informed electorate anyway?

Boomers are just decrepit toddlers at this point anyway

Not understanding the difference between pre and post 9/11 politics

Looks like someone fucked up package dependencies somewhere.

I’m surprised they don’t have some basic automated testing running in a VM after new package releases but I suppose they don’t need it if they can farm that duty out to their free userbase.

+1, larger community projects really should try to spin up their own Lemmy hosting on whatever infra they already have for message boards

Qanon is like a clown car of unhinged conspiracy theories. Every time you think “Wow, that’s bananas, what kind of blood lead levels do these people have to fall for this?” they trot out something even more deranged/racist/fascist.

I’m onboard with 65 as the maximum age anyone can run for Congress but I don’t have a problem with people 65+ finishing their terms provided they’re actually competent. I’d like to see mandatory cognitive decline testing for anyone running for Congress, appointed to the SC or appointed to any high position in the executive branch.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that we’re allowing people with 5-7y remaining life expectancy to plan our future 20, 40 or 100y out - they just don’t have the skin in the game that someone in their 20s or 30s does.

On top of all of that I’d like to see vigorous corruption testing, SC justices and congresscreatures shouldn’t be bought and paid for the way they are now.

“Hey Internet, come do development on our product for free so we can monetize it. TIA”

Legal rights are not human rights. I suggest you go look up the definition of human rights, they’re a separate concept.

A country or state passing a law that makes it legal to punch clowns in the face on Tuesday doesn’t make that action a human right, it just means that country passes fucked up laws.

I think Matomo is the popular ethical Google analytics alternative IIRC

NVMe in a USB enclosure makes a pretty rad backup target a couple of times a week. The whole job is over and done in <2 minutes.

Event Horizon is still mildly terrifying 25y later. Sunshine was pretty bananas too. Shout out to Alastair Reynolds Inhibitor series of books as well.

OnePlus offers mostly stock android too

I haven’t run anything older than Skylake since 2020. I imagine anyone planning to run these either hasn’t done the math on energy costs or lives somewhere where electricity is dirt cheap.

For RSS I like ReadYou, for feeds I like Mastodon with a variety of interests followed. There are a surprising number of orgs on Mastodon these days.

Depends on the SSD, the one I linked is fine for casual home server use. You’re unlikely to see enough of a write workload that endurance will be an issue. That’s an enterprise drive btw, it certainly wasn’t cheap when it was brand new and I doubt running a couple of VMs will wear it quickly. (I’ve had a few of those in service at home for 3-4y, no problems.)

Consumer drives have more issues, their write endurance is considerably lower than most enterprise parts. You can blow through a cheap consumer SSD’s endurance in mere months with a hypervisor workload so I’d strongly recommend using enterprise drives where possible.

It’s always worth taking a look at drive datasheets when you’re considering them and comparing the warranty lifespan to your expected usage too. The drive linked above has an expected endurance of like 2PB (~3 DWPD, OR 2TB/day, over 3y) so you shouldn’t have any problems there. See https://www.sandisk.com/content/dam/sandisk-main/en_us/assets/resources/enterprise/data-sheets/cloudspeed-eco-genII-sata-ssd-datasheet.pdf

Older gen retired or old stock parts are basically the only way I buy home server storage now, the value for your money is tremendous and most drives are lightly used at most.

Edit: some select consumer SSDs can work fairly well with ZFS too, but they tend to be higher endurance parts with more baked in over provisioning. It was popular to use Samsung 850 or 860 Pros for a while due to their tremendous endurance (the 512GB 850s often had an endurance lifespan of like 10PB+ before failure thanks to good old high endurance MLC flash) but it’s a lot safer to just buy retired enterprise parts now that they’re available cheaply. There are some gotchas that come along with using high endurance consumer drives, like poor sync write performance due to lack of PLP, but you’ll still see far better performance than an HDD.

+1 automate your backup rolling, setup your monitoring and alerting and then ignore everything until something actually goes wrong. I touch my lab a handful of times a year when it’s time for major updates, otherwise it basically runs itself.
