When no political party is willing to address the immigration issue that clearly is forefront on the minds of such AFD voters, what did you expect them to do? Vote CDU? Do we all think that another 8, 10 years of being "firewalled&quot

Is it your wall? We have a fairly modern house and the walls are solid gypsum so i just carved out a small hollow for it, cables are going via a channel with some ducting i then plastered over

Why don’t you just use it as a display and have a more reputable device (e.g a mini pc or an apple tv) feeding it? I’m not forced to give my tv network access at all, since it doesn’t do anything other than display whatever the apple box ou

Yeah that’s pretty bad. I’m not defending anything really but it’s one of those situations i think where everyone is just trying to do what they think is right, i don’t think either side is intentionally doing evil or whatever. people are c

I know plenty of british asians, whom i consider my friends, who aren’t pedophiles — where does any of this say it applies to everyone? Of course it doesn’t. It sounds a lot like the person with race issues is you.

How is posting an article about the sexual exploitation of minors in the UK “hideously racist”? Is it because the perpetrators in that case are, majority wise from one ethnic background? There are uncomfortable truths in the world, it sucks

What would you switch to? I'm pretty deeply tied into protondrive, so switching is gonna be .. not a lot of fun.

I literally can't order medication at the moment because I need a 2FA from my email; which I pay them for. It seems pretty inexcusable to me (as someone who does a lot of SRE work) that they got bitten twice by the same incident, but I

Apparently related to damage caused by their gear getting fried in the previous incident. Why they’re still running prod on gear that’s likely thermal damaged to the point it can fail remains the obvious question.

It’s kind of insane that we can play windows x86_64 games on macos arm almost perfectly. I got a bit annoyed with it being slightly jank and built a (linux) gaming pc for my kids in the end but it worked fine for most things for a while.

Don’t forget that the American MacAuthur granted most of these “scientists” immunity.

Python is used as a kind of 'visual basic' language in a lot of banks especially in front-of-house trading software, e.g murex or frontarena. Migrations between major versions of these can take years, costs 100s of millions and in

I have to admit, this one has pissed me right off. I build systems that survive datacentre failures all the fucking time, it's inexcusable that a single site going dark removes access to something I pay like 200 euro a year for.

I mean, I'm as opensource as they come: not used windows since '98, despise microsoft and mostly everything he's done in business. But lets be fair, he moved the needle forwards, and after he retired he's done some fairl

I spent about $200 on openai tokens today to solve a seriously hard distributed systems problem that would have taken me probably three weeks to understand, let alone fix. Crypto only ever allowed me to buy drugs over the internet. I'm

Well, you can at least run "freebsd-update IDS" on this system to verify the base system, "pkg check -s -a" would check the integrity of files installed via pkg also. It will only take a few min..

His latest one, polostan, may be the worst book I’ve ever read on the other hand.. No idea what happened.

What exactly is your point, besides the self aggrandising? None of this is news to anyone, but I'm sure we're all glad to hear you're so shit-hot at everything.

Russia dominates "Europe"; what, that Russia who can't even beat Ukraine? That can't even make ball bearings anymore? That has to pull North Korean troops in? We're fucking terrified man. I think Poland alone could

These days if i need to scale sideways — mongo. I shifted most of the work my db was doing into my apps, and it’s… fine? It requires a different architecture tho for sure and has its own problems, but I’ll take those over the pain of cassan

Yep, the pain is real. We don’t mention sstableloader in polite company. Add in kubernetes and getting your rf/racdc.properties right in a 3 az cluster so everything doesn’t just die on a netsplit with local_quorum (harder than it so

We live in wildly different worlds, I think. How is postgres comparable to 6-12 nodes of cassandra? One really giant one with 200k worth of storage? Is there even a multi-master setup yet? every time i’ve looked it’s just around the corner.

Drop in with same schematics? It's not going to be easy, I don't have an answer. It's unpopular, but probably I'd architect my software more towards a sharded mongo cluster for write heavy workloads these days, rather th

I'm sure for some workloads, cassandra is 'ideal' or at least was 10 years ago. What I can say though (as someone running thousands of cpus worth of cassandra at the moment); is that I deeply dislike this database. It's

Mostly people just want to talk, at least initially, I've found you are much more likely to make connections with people by asking them questions than trying to introduce them to things. That can come later. edit: by talk maybe i mean

I would happily ditch my phone entirely if i could have ms authenticator (needed for work), signal and my train ticket app working on it, alas no. Maybe someday.

put them both inside another directory and share that? what am i missing?

by cyberpunk 2mo ago
1) you ack the ack, then ack the ack ack ;) 2) depends, i have a database that farks up a pretty complex distributed system when clients write from another az, latency really can be an issue for some workloads
