If it is earmarked for purely defensive equipment, it still indirectly funds their genocide by freeing up other money for it.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.

Built off it, rather than copied it. That’s par for the course in most science.

Literally billions of people are. Do you think meat just spontaneously appears in the supermarket?

Quite the opposite. Cannibalism(assuming you obtain consent) would be ethical meat consumption.

Are we all just gonna ignore the semi-transparent power pole in front of the sign?

Can you provide an example of this? Only time I’ve encountered that behaviour was with a laptop that had a defective lid-switch.

Raid 0 offers no redundancy though. If any of those three disks fail, you lose the entire volume.

For the sake of backups, switching to Raid 5 would be more robust

smartmontools has some good functionality for interfacing with SMART via usb bridges that do not provide native functionality.

There is no scientific consensus supporting this being a burial site at present.

Lets wait until the analysis and peer review before making any bold claims.

1.2l water

240ml sodium sulfate

60ml sodium chloride

20ml xantham gum(optional for increased efficacy by keeping the solution homogenous)

Boil water, stir until fully dissolved, a small amount of solute should remain, if not, increase sodium sulfate concentration slowly until it does, indicating no free water molecules available for dissolution.

Solution should now be cooled to below 18c( freezing point) for an end product that will regulate temperature to 18c so long as it have sufficient(negative) thermal energy.

Solution of pure sodium chloride will have freezing point approx -20C, while solution of pure sodium sulfate has freezing point +35C. Adjusting the ratio of NaCl to Na2SO4 will shift the freezing point towards either end of thag spectrum, depending on what phase change temperature you are targetting.

I often stumble across jobs in Antarctica listed in my region. It’s right there in the headline, so its easy to skip over them, but i have to wonder, how else would you advertise for jobs in remote locations where most people wouldn’t even think to look?

90% of listings on aliexpress or amazon are made by dropshippers who don’t actually have any knowledge of the products they’re selling. They scrape the datasets for all of the manufacturers they source from, autopopulate any required fields and blast out a thousand listings. I’d wager the majority aren’t even human reviewed, let alone human written.

I like to inch my diagrams closer and closer to penises until someone notices.

This is actually how I do things when working on remote machines. I have far too many monitors, so dedicating on of them to a handful of btop/nvtop terminals works pretty well.

I admit that it’s a less than perfect setup though, and a single program which could handle the remote connections internally and display an aggregate would be nice.

I would argue that the modern smartphone is different, but by no means better. Between the locked down operating systems and the lack of a physical keyboard they are great for consuming media through approved channels, but basically useless if you want to get any work done with them.

She’s been kidnapped by a wizard holding her is a temporal bubble that is perpetually 30 minutes away from you, regardless of your position or velocity. If you move incredibly slowly you can actually see her.

Name your playlist. ‘X Gon give it to ya’ is definitely on there somewhere.
