    AI is worse than crypto. Most crypto projects use proof of stake which is way more resource efficient than mining. Also the mining that does happen usually happens where there is excess generation instead of azure datacenters

    Tom Scott does a great job of explaining this. Tr;Dr is paper ballots are a mature process that has the benefit of requiring physical access to tamper with, and governments who aren't great at IT and only do something at scale once 4 years is asking for trouble

    If you look at it as generic could provider it's not good, but if you look at it as making m$ run they're software instead of you it's awesome because most m$ software is not fun to run

  • Photo Solution Suggestions Needed

    Immich is the best photo solution I have used and has been really easy to setup. Nextcloud apps are usually ok but usually have a more specialized alternative

  • Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux
  • tiny tiny Now 94%

    I want to try alpine out but the lack of systemd support is a blocker since I don't want to add openrc support to all my Ansible playbooks that rely on systemd services and timers

  • Elasticsearch is open source, again
  • tiny tiny Now 100%

    Usually in the observability space it is primarily based on the volume of data and sometimes seat count. Especially if it's freemium like elastic where users can get an idea of volume by running a POC of the free version. Companies do this because of small teams who deploy large infra that would make contracts unprofitable

  • Advice for a newbie - Multiple drives setup
  • tiny tiny Now 100%

    You can edit the /etc/fstab or setup systemd mounts so all the files are mounted at the correct spot at startup. Different drives are mounted to folders on Linux instead of drive letters like on windows. Before you reboot, make sure everything works by running mount -a otherwise you will have to rescue the system

  • Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?
  • tiny tiny Now 100%

    When it is the cause of a problem it's not always obvious at first so you spend hours troubleshooting the broken app until you look at DNS and a simple DNS issue

  • What languages do you speak?
  • tiny tiny Now 75%

    Native English speaker. I learned some French in school and enough Japanese to get through a judo match. I struggle to retain other languages. Everywhere I go everyone speaks English and it's hard to justify learning a new one even everyone in a 1000 mile radius speaks English.

  • How do you get over a crush?
  • tiny tiny Now 100%

    Make sure your romantic life isn't the only thing you are focused on. make sure you are doing things that you enjoy and spending time with people you care about. If you have a good social network any 1 part can have problems and they will suck but it's not losing everything which makes it suck way less.

  • Suggestions for filesystem.
  • tiny tiny Now 100%

    If your Linux distro is using btrfs you can format it to btrfs and use btrfs send for backups. Otherwise the filesystem shouldn't be to big if a deal unless you want to restore files from a Windows machine. If that is the case use ntfs

  • tiny tiny Now 100%

    Bitwarden keeps a local copy of the data that can exported if something ever happened to bitwarden. If you want to keep an encrypted backup you can export the CSV and store it on an encrypted drive as a backup but not big worry about syncing it to all devices
