AI is worse than crypto. Most crypto projects use proof of stake which is way more resource efficient than mining. Also the mining that does happen usually happens where there is excess generation instead of azure datacenters

I believe mods tried this and reddit purged the mods when subreddits only allowed John Oliver images.

Android can be configured to require a pin after a reboot which is an ok compromise if you want to invoke the fifth amendment

Tom Scott does a great job of explaining this. Tr;Dr is paper ballots are a mature process that has the benefit of requiring physical access to tamper with, and governments who aren't great at IT and only do something at scale once 4 years is asking for trouble

If you look at it as generic could provider it's not good, but if you look at it as making m$ run they're software instead of you it's awesome because most m$ software is not fun to run

Immich is the best photo solution I have used and has been really easy to setup. Nextcloud apps are usually ok but usually have a more specialized alternative

I want to try alpine out but the lack of systemd support is a blocker since I don't want to add openrc support to all my Ansible playbooks that rely on systemd services and timers

My open source observability project could use some help https://gitlab.com/shiftsystems/shiftmon

Usually in the observability space it is primarily based on the volume of data and sometimes seat count. Especially if it's freemium like elastic where users can get an idea of volume by running a POC of the free version. Companies do this because of small teams who deploy large infra that would make contracts unprofitable

You can edit the /etc/fstab or setup systemd mounts so all the files are mounted at the correct spot at startup. Different drives are mounted to folders on Linux instead of drive letters like on windows. Before you reboot, make sure everything works by running mount -a otherwise you will have to rescue the system

Somehow that was a bigger emotional blow than finding out pro wrestling is fake

When it is the cause of a problem it's not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue
