Nah. Derision, public shaming, and ostracism are fundamental to the maintenance of the social contract. How else can we moderate extremists? The denazification of Germany was effective because they didn't shy away from these methods.

Kata1yst , 1 month ago to linuxmemes in I just wanted the workflow, ok?

Over the years of using Vim both professionally and for my own uses, I've learned to just install LunarVim and only add a handful of packages/overrides. Otherwise I just waste too much time tinkering and not doing the things I need to.

Yes...? All are except Microsoft, which is why most companies I work with aren't looking that way.

Kata1yst , 1 month ago to Technology in It looks a lot like VMware just lost a 24,000-VM customer • The Register

I know several large companies looking to Microsoft, Xen, and Proxmox. Though the smart ones are more interested in the open source solutions to avoid future rug-pulls.

Kata1yst , 1 month ago to Technology in The decline of Intel..

2009 era was also when Intel leveraged their position in the compiler market to cripple all non-Intel processors. Nearly every benchmarking tool used that complier and put an enormous handicap on AMD processors by locking them to either no SSE or, later, back to SSE2.

My friends all thought I was crazy for buying AMD, but accusations had started circulating about the complier heavily favoring Intel at least as early as 2005, and they were finally ordered to stop in 2010 by the FTC... Though of course they have been caught cheating in several other ways since.

Everyone has this picture in their heads of AMD being the scrappy underdog and Intel being the professional choice, but Intel hasn't really worn the crown since the release of Athlon. Except during Bulldozer/Piledriver, but who can blame AMD for trying something crazy after 10 years of frustration?

MRSA infection following hospital admittance for Pneumonia. That shit is serious and way more prevalent than people think, it's just that it usually kills people who are already terminally ill.

Unlikely to be an assassination. But not impossible. Either way, looks very bad.

The recommendation to shareholders from the independent advisor who proxies Boeing is to vote out several board members who are responsible for safety and QA. Crazy to see at a Fortune 100.

I use FreshRSS. Can't say I love the interface, but with the open and standardized API, there are dozens of beautiful front ends to choose on any device.

Never ask a man his pay, a woman her weight, or a data horder the contents of their stash.

Jk. Mostly.

I have a similar-ish set up to @Davel23 , I have a couple of cool use cases.

• I seed the last 5 arch and opensuse (a few different flavors) ISOs at all times
• I run an ArchiveBot for archive.org
• I scan nontrivial mail (the paper kind) and store it in docspell for later OCR searches, tax purposes etc.
• I help keep Sci-Hub healthy
• I host several services for de-googling, including Nextcloud, Blocky, Immich, and Searxng
• I run Navidrome, that has mostly (and hopefully will soon completely) replace Spotify for my family.
• I run Plex (hoping to move to Jellyfin sometime, but there's inertial resistance to that) that has completely replaced Disney streaming, Netflix streaming, etc for me and my extended family.
• I host backups for my family and close friends with an S3 and WebDAV backup target

I run 4x14TB, 2x8TB, 2x4TB, all from serverpartsdeals, in a ZFS RAID10 with two 1TB cache dives, so half of the spinning rust usable at ~35TB, and right now I'm at 62% utilization. I usually expand at about 85%

You found one video supporting your viewpoint. Kaspersky's role in Russian intelligence has been an open secret since the mid 2010s. This is Facebook Anti-Vaxxer "research" methodology.

No, I'm not conflating "a" with "b". I'm using stability exactly as it's used in physics.
https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/College_Physics/College_Physics_1e_(OpenStax)/09%3A_Statics_and_Torque/9.03%3A_Stability

My point is, it's a completely valid use of the word. And yes, so is reliable, though I think "reliable" fails to capture the essence of the system changing but maintaining it's state, hence why we don't study "reliable systems" in physics.

I recommend picking something else to be pedantic about.

Kata1yst , 3 months ago to linuxmemes in Arch with XZ

Amazingly, for someone so eager to give a lesson in linguistics, you managed to ignore literal definitions of the words in question and entirely skip relevant information in my (quite short) reply.

Both are widely used in that context. Language is like that.

Further, the textbook definition of Stability-

the quality, state, or degree of being stable: such as

a: the strength to stand or endure : firmness

b: the property of a body that causes it when disturbed from a condition of equilibrium or steady motion to develop forces or moments that restore the original condition

c: resistance to chemical change or to physical disintegration

Pay particular attention to "b".

The state of my system is "running". Something changes. If the system doesn't continue to be state "running", the system is unstable BY TEXTBOOK DEFINITION.
