“about 10 years ago” in our house 🤣

I feel like this article took a quick turn from “Bing went down” to “Google bad”.

I am glad more people realize who’s actually behind DDG and such.

You’ll probably start with virt-manager then move to proxmox. This is the way, it’s only a matter of how long before you realize it’s better.

His point wasn’t to find a CPU, it was to make a political post in a tech community.

LTT talked about this a while back… it’s because the GPU companies don’t want modular GPUs.

You don’t use the technical term, but you do ask.

I’m not against telemetry, I’m against making it hundreds of different hidden options.

We did fine without it for a very long time. We still do with a lot of software. It’s called voluntarily submitting a bug report and/or core dump.

Right. That’s why you build the software against a common library version.

Having every application load their own version of a library into memory is bloat.

The applications have binaries and libraries bundled for multiple arches. I wasn’t speaking to the package manager.

Of the future? They’re a duplicate of what Apple was doing with software as far back as the mid 90s.

Every ounce of performance we squeeze out of our hardware is replaced with pounds of bloat like this.

It’s fine for a utility or something you’ll hardly ever need to use, but running every day software like this is a complete waste.

It is opt in. someone didn’t read.

Lemmy has downvotes, but some specific instances (servers) do not allow them.

Thinking about this further…

I can purchase 10GE fiber, at home, for $299/mo.

I can purchase a solid 16 bay Supermixro server for around $5k

16TB drives are $168. There’s $3,700 left so let’s buy 21 drives (336TB, 235TB usable under raidz3 zfs). We’ll leave that last $170 for … electricity.

Leasing all of this from a regular hosting provider woul be much more cost effective. I work for one, what the heck are you doing man?

$9,000/mo? Have you considered not using the most ridiculously expensive method possible?

Or you sit in the library and “read” it. Now how do you define where the library is? Many libraries loan out digital copies. You can sit in a book store (they exist!) and read a book without purchasing it too.

It’s going to be difficult to use the “they couldn’t possibly have had legit access to all these books” argument in court.

The only thing you can count on to be consistent is change.

I loved a lot of TV shows when I was younger that I still have fond memories of but can no longer rewatch.

Unfortunately they’ve recently stopped doing this. It was a great way to stick it to the man though
