You can have multiple secondary servers, what is not a good idea is to have just one, because whatever it happens with it things may fail elsewhere (i.e. mails lost, that may be worse than losing connectivity with your website for a while).

I walk, that gives more benefits than just staying in shape, but takes more time than just 30 minutes. Anyway, what I manage to do is to stay in round shape, as more things are needed like maintaining a good diet.

Not AI expert, not even amateur, but what you said seem to have the pattern of a feedback or strange loop. What if your input is in good part your own (or similar enough AIs) output? A lot of the buzz in internet this year was around ChatGP

Should we save that person that we have in front? After all, thousands are dying every hour around the world. Distribution matters, you can't be everywhere. It is a good proof of concept, but that won't change that we are in the s

Not having an ocean below helps to isolate a bit from all the heat that the oceans has been absorbing. Around the north pole the average temperature is 4+ºC above the average of 1950-1980. And yet, that isolation is not so good. A year ago

The landscape of security switched from the computer to the user. As user you need to become root in a way or another to install a system program or something that affects the system as a whole. And you are aware that you are doing somethin

All designs have use cases and scenarios for which they are better or worse. Pass (and gopass, and all the derivatives of the same idea) is not the best personal password store (for that KeePassXC and similars might be better) but coupled w

In Altered Carbon, criminal punishment was making that criminal "sleep" (well, destroying his body, keep his memory/conciousness and resleeve him later) for many decades, waking up at a time where he knows no one, and his kno

Some Hogfather vibes. Believing small lies make you ready to believe the big ones. Yes, they are useful, till they are not, when following the lie instead of the truth is really harmful. Will we face that kind of situations? or we will pref

For me offsetting is the opposite of the Zeno's Paradox. I will emit today an amount X of carbon, so I will pay this company some amount of money so they over some time (years, decades?) will capture that amount of carbon back. The spe

Great, now instead of turning the 95% of all extracted oil into greenhouse gases, we now can turn the 99+%. That is efficiency.

Or at least using a multilayered approach i.e. all the files starting with A in the A subfolder. You still have to deal with that amount of files, but you don't lose so much time dealing with filesystem/directory operations. And t

Don't worry, at this rate there is a point where the height of stupidity will fall back to zero, in good part caused by the height of stupidity reached in the previous decades.

How much protection will they get from external weather? What about soil quality in the middle/long run? If weather becomes unreliable or far more extreme, indoor farming may be a better bet than hoping than a flood, a drought or other

Worrying about a reasonably well predicted end of the world won't stop it to happen. But systematically denying it, specially in the big numbers, well could accelerate the trends. It is not about exactly when, or exactly how, but that

You always feel weightless before hitting the ground. We are at the start of a process, and probably we will witness how things become worse in not so many years. And probably it will keep getting worse for the foreseeable future. This even

100 million barrels of oil are extracted each day. And to that you should add coal, and natural gas (not sure about the volumes), that was pretty much safe underground. And most carbon capture proposals are meant to keep extracting as much
