I wonder if Bully, Coward, Victim is covered

Hmm I must ponder this

I know it’s not totally relevant but I once convinced a company to run their log aggregators with 75 servers and 15 disks in raid0 each.

We relied on the app layer to make sure there was at least 3 copies of the data and if a node’s array shat the bed the rest of the cluster would heal and replicate what was lost. Once the DC people swapped the disk we had automation to rebuild the disks and add the host back into the cluster.

It was glorious - 75 servers each splitting the read/write operations 1/75th and then each server splitting that further between 15 disks. Each query had the potential to have ~1100 disks respond in concert, each with a tiny slice of the data you asked for. It was SO fast.

They made Rhode Island into an island, it’s perfect

Lol dammit this got me.

Seriously though, can I come if I’m fleeing there with my trans parter? I’m legit scared of what this government will do, hopefully somewhere in BC will be safer than living under this government that seems to want us erased.

Sorry Canadian bros, I technically have citizenship though I’ve been down here my entire life, probably moving back and doing the spousal sponsorship thing.

Best part? This past year it was a huge deal and a big step for her - we finally waded through the mountain of red tape to get her markers and name on her drivers and passport updated to match her appearance. It was a big step in her being able to buy booze without being misgendered. The consequence it’s that any of the shady fucks they’ll install in the state department can probably run a search and find out where we fucking live. Fucking fantastic.

Honestly if anyone has advice for a tech worker trying to move, I’d really appreciate it.

If it makes you feel better, I bet you can guess how we’ll vote.

Without the photo this sounds like the opening line to a very creepy story

No cat no lemmy. Those are the rules we’ve… just made up.

MORE!!

Legible

Put it high up in your attic, it’ll sense the elevation and start broadcasting

I bet you at least one engineer suggested it be red with an icon on it but musky boi or someone decided it looked bad.

Yep, hoping he’s not stupid enough to do that. However, on the other hand brain worms…

I have to say I’ve also been enjoying my synology - going on almost 7 years since this thing was released and I get security updates regularly still. Will buy again once this thing dies.

It still has a bit of gum in it (hard to find without these days) but that talenti stuff in the US appears to be real cream still - honestly that’s the big kicker for me with ice cream, too much gum or any vegetable product just makes it not worth the calories 🤢

All those bryer/haggen das big brand ones have so much air whipped into them it’s like eating frozen foam. Same with most chains’ milk shakes right now, they melt into nasty foam.

TIL - Thank you!

Prusas have a reputation in the 3d printer world - they’re work horses, lots of print farms use them exclusively because of their longevity & repairability. Gotta say, I’m a bit jealous - that is not a cheap machine.

You aren’t imagining it, they add various types of gum and additives to slow melting rates of real ice cream, and a lot of ice cream is straight up fake - “frozen dairy dessert” is a euphemism for fake ice cream often padded out with cheaper ingredients like vegetable oils.

Honestly now-a-days one of the few ways we are going to protect ourselves is to rely on the ingredients list our governments mandate and familiarize ourselves with what products are actually what they claim they are, whether they contain anything questionable, and what euphemisms they use to hide undesirable ingredients. (Hydrogenated Oil == Trans Saturated Fat, Natural Sweeteners == Sugar, Corn Syrup == cheap substitute for sugar)

For those of us in the US (yes I know this is world - sorry) we can only hope the brain worm dead bear boy doesn’t gut the FDA as badly as he promises, or companies are going to start adding all sorts of fun stuff to our food.

Educate yourself and your friends about “the poison squad”, fascinating story of the kinds of crazy shit they used to put in food. Copper sulfate in canned peas and such.

Yeah, I’ll probably fail but maybe not. If nobody tries, nothing will get better.

Thanks, yeah honestly based on my conversations with the dude he doesn’t seem evil, just misinformed.

I think based on the few conversations I’ve had with him he believes that the puberty blockers on their own cause long term effects, and that large numbers of minors in this country have affirming surgeries. I countered that no they don’t and that the number of minors who get surgery is incredibly low.

I am currently researching scholarly sources for both points - if anyone has high quality resources I’d appreciate them.

Does anyone have the link to the video referenced here? I am trying to find it to send it to a right winger that’s in denial about their party.

Edit: I found it. I’m not going to link it here because Jesus fucking Christ is it triggering. He says exactly what they quote in the video. Honestly, don’t watch it.
