Copy/pasting a comment I wrote the other day on a post about OneDrive stealing and deleting your files:

I knew back when Windows 10 came out and the lead of their cloud division replaced Ballmer that Windows was gonna turn into a shit show, but in my wildest nightmares I wouldn’t have predicted what they’re doing now.

🥂 To coping

Hard to quantify it, so bear with me.

Not so much a specific genre or distribution medium as much as “the artist/band was born after 9/11”. Like, there are some bands that have been around forever and still putting out new stuff and that’s mostly fine (though I don’t necessarily like all of it) but anything overly electronic is basically a hard pass for me.

Oh yeah, I’m the same. It just gets rarer and rarer each year that I find something I can enjoy. Objectively, it has nothing to do with the quality of modern music (well, maybe a little lol) just the styles changing and my taste not keeping up.

Yeah, I did Docker swarm on an older cluster of thin clients I had ~10 years ago but even that was overkill. I’ve avoided Kubernetes for the same reason.

Government surplus auction. Had to get power supplies and SSDs for them separately but still less expensive than what most used ones go for elsewhere.

I’m now running 9 of the Dell equivalents to those, and they’re doing well. Average 15-20 watts at normal load and usually no more than 30-35 watts running full tilt. 5 of them are unprovisioned but I got a good deal on them for $25/each so I couldn’t pass them up :shrug:.

Attempting to cable-manage the power bricks for more than 1 of these is the worst part of using them. The only life pro tip I can offer is to ditch the power bricks and buy a 65W USB-C power delivery adapter that’s in the “wall wart” style and also one of the USB-C to Lenovo power adapter cords. Those make cable management so much better.

I would like to think so.

Most contemporary music sounds like shit. I try to stay current to at least within the last 3 years, but the older I get, the more it just sounds like shit.

South Park did an episode about it, and they were spot on.

The issues only impacted Mac users because macOS prevents certain applications from running if it doesn’t detect a valid Developer ID certificate, something that has affected other apps in the past.

Looks like it was the developer certificate required for it to run on MacOS that expired. Still inexcusable since Pepperidge Farm remembers when you configured peripherals through the driver options in the control panel.

I don’t even know what else to add to this headline.

Nothing. Rule 4 here says the post title should match the headline. Don’t editorialize.

I’m slow-walking season 3 for maximum enjoyment, so I’m not going to source a screenshot to memeify it, but:

Blazin’ Bev: I’m gonna light this Borg cube up like my first joint this morning.

Alternatively:

Me when I’m the only one in the friend group with a working lighter:

Good morning. How are you?

Fine, and you?

Technically that was two lies because I did not care how they were doing.

And smoking is already banned in buildings, within 15 feet of an entrance of buildings, on buses, in parks, etc.

They’re the same in that they bring some people joy while being offensive to others.

As an ex-smoker who hates the smell of cigarettes probably more than non-smokers ever will, I don’t disagree in theory. But we shouldn’t stop with just assaults to one sensory perception. In for a penny in for a pound as they say.

Loud-ass exhausts, booming subwoofers, and other assaults on the ears should also be banned in public. Strong colognes and perfumes…also banned in public.

Ugly sweaters, poor fashion choices, and shitty cars with anime girls painted on the side? You guessed it: They’re assaults on the eyes and should be banned in public

Or we could just deal with the fact that other people like things we don’t like.

I’ve wanted an electric motorcycle ever since I first saw the “el Ninja” conversion forever ago.

sounds too good to be true?

Didn’t see a (suggested) price listed, so the devil’s in the dollar signs.

I downgraded from used enterprise gear to those ultra small form factor PCs. They sip power well enough on their own that I haven’t really bothered tuning anything. I suppose I could cap the frequency with cpufrequtils and set the governor to conservative rather than on-demand (I do this with my battery-powered RasPi projects) but I’m not sure how much difference that’ll make for my servers.

In the past, I had Docker Swarm setup and automation to collapse the swarm down to a single machine (powering the other ones down and back on with WoL) but that was more trouble than it was worth. On average load, the USFF PCs run at about 15 watts and don’t usually peak above 30 unless they’re rebooting or doing something very heavy. Even transcoding doesn’t break 20 watts since I’m using hardware acceleration.

The biggest power savings I found that was worth the effort was to just get rid of the enterprise gear, switch from VMs to Docker containers where possible, and get rid of stuff I’m not using (or only run it on-demand).

The only remaining enterprise power suck I have left is my managed switch. It’s a 2005-era dinosaur that’s loud and power hungry, but it’s been a workhorse I’m having a hard time parting with.

Looks like they banned you from the lemmy.zip instance only: https://lemmy.zip/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModBan&userId=16510340

When a federated account is banned from an instance, the backend also bans them from any community on the instance they’ve interacted with (including if you’ve just voted in them if I’m not mistaken).

Also, yes, admins can ban anyone on any community on their instance (but only locally if it’s a remote community). Ergo, a lemmy.zip admin can ban you from !asklemmy@lemmy.world on their instance, but you won’t be officially banned and other instances will see your content there while users on lemmy.zip will not.
