- Hey ChatGPT, is it normal for my A4 to be burning this much oil? …

- Yes.

This reminds me of the Jill feature of Google+ - Circles. The abilities to trivially share “follow lists.” Adding Blocklist sharing to it makes perfect sense. Both of these are features Mastodon might want to implement.

Interest rates. Money isn’t free anymore. It’s still not super expensive but it’s 5x more expensive than what it used to be since 2008.

1. Is the current SystemD rant derived from years ago (while they’ve improved a lot)?

No it’s almost always been derived from people’s behinds.

2. Should Linux community rant about bigger problems such as Wayland related things not ready for current needs of normies?

Yes.

Systemd is spectacular in many ways. Every modern OS has a process management system that can handle dependencies, schedule, manage restarts via policy and a lot more. Systemd is pretty sophisticated on that front. I’ve been able to get it to manage countless services in many environments with great success and few lines of code.

Err, we already have activity tracking software required by many corporations and unlike governments, corporations aren’t subject to many of the regulations governments are. Corporate communications are also available for automatic review as well as manual when needed. The future is now. Maybe not universally but at least in NA it very much is.

You should use Debian.

Or Ubuntu if you need long term support, private or corporate, for example. Free 10-year support for up to 5 machines is no joke in my book. They no longer send search results to Amazon. 🥲 If they start again, you can always migrate back to Debian without huge difficulty.

Pretty significant numbers. This is the kind of data that needs to reach the eyes of decisionmakers.

Right but now CloudFlare reads all the email. 🥲

This is so fucking annoying. I specifically used Google Domains so I can have a trivial email forwarding to my Gmail without data exiting Google’s servers.

How many Russian army personnel aren’t on the front line with Ukraine? Given they had to draft hundreds of thousands, chances are, not many. So for Russia to defend another conflict, it might mean taking resources out of the Ukraine front line. And then the Ukrainians go into Crimea.

Add to this the void left by Wagner leaving positions in Ukraine which will let the Unranians take those.

As a Canadian, I’d like to not be dragged into this. 😅 If a North American union is to be established, as a function of the economic gravity, US regulations will be adopted throughout and that will be pretty terrible for us. From corporate lobbying which is currently illegal in Canada, to the use of antibiotics in chicken. Last time I checked, a couple of years ago, the majority of Canadians, over 60%, had an unfavorable view of the United States. We can’t fix the systemic problems in the US. Those problems are just going to spread to us if we joined a union.

This is my question too.

Same here. It’s the least I could do.

Trust is one of the most fundamental parts of any monetary system, so brute forcing hashes in this case is directly related to it.

Bitcoin can easily serve the world on 100 Mac Minis. Probably even fewer. The fact that currently people beat themselves into burning ridiculous amounts of electricity to run Bitcoin nodes is a function of the profitability of doing that. If that profitability decreases, so will the electricity burned. If I remember correctly, the protocol is designed to reduce that reward over time and unless the dollar value of Bitcoin dramatically increases, the energy waste should decrease long term.

A secondary point on energy consumption is how that of Bitcoin compares to the traditional financial transaction systems. I don’t have the numbers at the moment but last time I checked it wasn’t pretty for the latter.

With all that said, if PoS is proven to be as robust as PoW, it would probably be adopted by systems currently on PoW, like Bitcoin.

Internal data, not user data.

Even if you believe all of this, it should be obvious that the invasion was an abject failure in contributing towards these goals. There’s more NATO equipment and support around that border now than ever before. There’s even more NATO border incoming that didn’t exist before. Staying, expending more of your people’s lives, public and private capital looks like a really counterproductive thing to do. It’s only making those goals harder to meet longer term.

That’s a bit stronger. 👍 I hope it isn’t voluntary for member states’ to comply.

I don’t know about banning. The text sounds a bit like it’s voluntary.

I wouldn’t do it. Not on a device with other important information. Maybe on a separate one like some suggested.
