Shit shit shit, I just remembered I haven’t attended English class all semester.

Shit shit shit, I can’t remember my locker combination, and I can’t find the orientation sheet that has it, also I can’t find my class schedule, I have no idea what class I’m supposed to be in right now.

Plus a few other variations. All High School. I dunno why the focus on High School, I’m 34. I get one of these once or twice a month.

Dog, because I’m allergic to cats. I also really like cats.

So, you’re a tech nerd who wants an addictive game?

Factorio.

Also Satisfactory, but I’m not sure how well it runs on Linux. Fairly sure Factorio will run on just about anything

Windows 11 has ads NOW, in the enterprise install I’m provided at work.

I refuse.

MLB 66

For work, I have 2 monitors, and my docked laptop. The main two monitors are hugely beneficial for software development, as I can reference design docs or requirements while writing code, or I can have the debugger running on one screen, while the app runs on the other.

The laptop screen is where Teams and Outlook sit, so I can glance over at messages from the team, and maybe respond, without having to swap around any of my workspace.

You mention Bally and baseball, mlb66 was my go-to last year.

Not really, no.

Generally speaking, fault protection schemes need only account for one fault at a time, unless you’re a really large business, or some other entity with extra-stringent data protection requirements.

RAID protects against drive failure faults. Backups protect against drive failure faults as well, but also things like accidental deletions or overwrites of data.

In order for RAID on backups to make sense, when you already have RAID on your main storage, you’d have to consider drive failures and other data loss to be likely to occur simultaneously. I.E. RAID on your backups only protects you from drive failure occurring WHILE you’re trying to restore a backup. Or maybe more generally, WHILE that backup is in use, say, if you have a legal requirement that you must keep a history of all your data for X years or something (I would argue data like this shouldn’t be classified as backups, though).

The point is that everyone does have them, but only rarely are they visible to the human eye.

Defederation is an administrative solution, specifically for when the user-facing tools like muting and blocking aren’t enough. It’s the solution against instance admins that aren’t capable or willing to moderate their users, or that are actively malicious.

Seconded! This is the one I was gonna add, if I didn’t see it.

Dark & Stormy is my favorite, from what I’ve tried

Why the hell is a professional tech business not relying almost-exclusively in ethernet, anyway?

Unless you’re doing something crazy, like super-long runs (like, across a whole building) get the cheapest thing you can find that’s rated for the minimum spec you need (like, if you want 4k at 120fps or whatever, lookup which HDMI version is needed for that, and buy at least that). That means do NOT buy at any brick-and-mortar store, their markups are borderline illegal.

I’ll drop another recommendation for monoprice.com.

Is it a reference to goldfish having a notoriously-short attention span, just like this guy seems to have?

There’s literally no such thing as a one-lead voltage meter. Voltage is, by definition, the difference in potential energy between two points.

Any tool that can give a voltage reading with one probe has a second probe you’re not considering, or is estimating voltage based on a some assumptions about current or some other factor being measured.

I hate Huffman as much as the next guy, but the $193 million factoid is misleading clickbait nonsense. His actual salary is apparently $400k, the rest is “stock value” or whatever. Reddit is not giving 25% of its yearly revenue to the CEO.

Fucking delicious
