I don’t really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.
That raises more questions than it answers 😅 I appreciate the effort though.
I run NixOS on a few servers. I remember there being some controversy around them accepting contributions (either money or code — my memory of it is a little fuzzy) from some company that’s part of the military industrial complex. Is Framework worse than that?
Is it ethically unsafe to use? Do they make money when people use it? Sorry if these seem like dumb questions, I’m surely missing a lot of context
What difference would that make? (I’m not familiar with the precedent, so probably missing some context)
Edit: Downvotes? Was my question (or my ignorance) somehow offensive?
It’s also interesting that it has made somewhat of a comeback after some newer technologies have faded away
Sure! It’s completely solid-state; no fans or other moving parts. The case is designed to dissipate the heat. The CPU is some low-power Intel Pentium. I don’t remember exactly which model.
I ordered a pre-built one from Protectli because I needed it fast, but you can save quite a bit if you prefer to build one. These little motherboards and cases can be found pretty easily online.
I went with a dedicated mini PC with one of those motherboards that are designed for building a network appliance. It has been running very smoothly for a few years, and I just log in occasionally to run system updates.
I want my network and Internet connection to continue working, regardless of my tinkering with home server stuff.
Lol what? I’m so out of the loop
Yeah, I think it was the sun. She probably trained me to follow her own circadian rhythm, using her cuteness and affection to convince me to comply lol
you can’t train [a dog] to wake you up every day at a certain specific time, unless it can recognise some signal.
My dog always woke me up at a consistent time every morning. I didn’t train her to do that, and I don’t know what the signal was (other than the position of the sun, I guess). I used to hate it, because it was always too early, but I eventually got used to it.
Maybe I was the trainee, in this case 😆
Oops, that’s what I get for being on my phone hours after I should have gone to sleep. I’m an idiot at those hours lol
Indeed. I assumed that was obvious when I wrote it, but thanks for confirming.
Only nine now? That’s so much better than it used to be!
When I first tried Linux (Mandrake, many years ago), I could probably come up with 9 problems in just the first hour 😆
It’s easy to find nine problems in Windows too, so this is pretty good for a free OS, IMO. It’s great to see Linux gradually become more mainstream (aside from Android and servers)
Edit: I’m a dumbass lol
Can it access a file without spinning up all disks in the array?
I haven’t used ZFS in like a decade, but would strongly consider going back to it if it can do that now.
Yeah, fair point
It would probably go to whoever uses it to find the cure… And to none of the authors who wrote the data that it was trained on
This image implies that someone who would steal drugs from patients would not also purchase drugs from other people? Why not both?
I’ve known quite a few addicts, and I don’t think any of them are as selective as this image describes.
I’ve been happily using SilverBullet lately too. Can recommend
Fun fact: Base64url is not quite the same as base64. Its alphabet is slightly different from base64 so its characters can be used in more places (URLs, filenames, etc.).
I suppose the tool’s name is more clear for those who are aware of those differences, but very unclear for others.
She was a child… But what does that have to do with spaghetti anyway?
