My point was that there is no need to replicate everything everywhere. If the data is replicated a cross 5 instances per region for instance, it’s enough for replication needs. If you self host lemmy and subscribes to large communities on your instance, you can quickly overload your server. We need activity pub to be more lightweight if we want smaller instances to thrive.
Some people change phones every year, or more often than that, then there’s all the coffee makers, small electronics nobody thinks about (watches, radios), computers and laptops, tvs, speakers, smart lights, kitchen tools, cars, anything digital (like calipers), power tools… Depending on what you count, it could add up to ridiculous numbers for some, skewing the average
So if the housing market crashed like really bad, by say everybody owning multiple homes being suddenly unable to afford the loans for that many homes, what would happen?
The banks would have to repossess the properties. And sell them on the market, but with many homes to sell, the price would come down crashing.
One can dream.
Decline meetings. Tbh as a senior your time is more valuable to the company fixing hard problems and architecturing solutions than doing the job of a pm / po.
It already exists. There is a company that sells a space heater that mines crypto currency. You get like 50% or the profits which sucks, but you at least recoup a bit of the cost of the electricity to run the heater.
I think we should try to heat ourselves with computing as much as we can since the side effect of computing is heat generation (and minor RF losses). How cool would it be to make a large supercomputer out of millions of homes heating up in the winter?
My guess is click farms with some unknown custom made os that skew that data?
That also might be a source of Linux users hence the relatively high market share of the OS?
Not to mention that India still has a lot of call centers (some for scams) that may use Linux because it’s free (compared to a windows license)
The problem is that it is chromium based, hence giving Google more power in deciding internet standards (like their web environment integrity API proposed a few months ago)
I think you’re part of the problem dude, tipping 10% when they shouldn’t be asking for tips means that it’s worth it to them to now ask for tips.
The doctor is a monster for creating the monster.
I know that banks in Europe are bound by law to follow PSD2, which is a set of guidelines to propose APIs. I found a stackoverflow post to generate the required certificates for that but those are only supposed to be for testing purposes https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50045376/how-to-create-eidas-certificate-with-qwac-and-qsealc-profiles-psd2-specific-att
You can use the PSD2 api to fetch the transactions from your account directly, that would be a lot less troublesome. There is also the woob (formerly weboob) project that has web scraping for a lot of banks (specifically french but also some American ones like amex)
I personally don’t care too much about the headphone jack (or lack thereof) when buying a new phone. That being said, for someone that doesn’t care all that much about audio quality, Bluetooth headphones are just fine, and I prefer having a more water resistant phone (maybe I just bought into the marketing on that point, but it seems harder to waterproof a phone when there are holes in it, though the usb port is still there as a weak point so…)
I’ve just accepted that the lack of headphone jack is the new norm.
“It doesn’t run the command!”

About 15k€ per square meter. I live in Paris, France. I eventually could afford a 20 square meter studio appartement, and I’m in the top 10% of earners.
The rest of France varies wildly, you could get a small house in the middle of nowhere for 150k,but parisian real estate is way out there…
You could host a proxy on a vps, somewhere, and use that vps ip address for the whitelisting. At this point setting up a VPN sounds more convenient though
You could use grafana loki to handle logs, it’s similar to Prometheus so if you’re already using that and/or grafana it’s an easy setup and the API is really simple too.
Just the fact that windows has a hidden “true administrator” account that you have to use for some stuff, and is not easily accessible makes it way harder to take control of your own hardware.
Linux has the same thing, with the root account, but you can access it from a single sudo su command in a terminal (which is mostly pointless since sudo itself executes commands with the highest priviledges).
Also, Microsoft, not every damn thing needs a GUI. I’d rather have a good command line experience than having to trifle through the registry.
My desktop PC has 9.5 TB of storage installed, but that’s just for game data. All my data is on my NAS with a whopping 24 TB of redundant storage
What’s wrong with 12ft?
I don’t mind paying full price for a game, as long as I own it in the end and that the game is not ridiculously short.
Paying 70 euros for a game with less than 7hrs of playtime to get to the end, and artificially padded with collectibles around a open world is a ripoff especially when the game requires licensing servers to be online to play, even for single-player.
