  • A server produces an amount of heat equivalent to it’s wattage.

    A 500W server rack will produce 1/3rd the amount of heat as a 1500W space heater. If your rack draws 100W at idle, than that’s how much heat it produces. So if it’s cold outside you could spin up folding at home or some other thing to burn excess CPU cycles

    As long as your server is inside your house it is offsetting the amount of heat your HVAC system needs to produce - granted it is also greatly increasing the amount of work your AC needs to do in the summer

    There is a cricket farm in Quebec that heats it’s enclosures with Bitcoin mining rigs.



  • A couple of them fall into the “technically true, but misleading territory” - I’m sure the person handing this out couldn’t identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

    “Can you reverse effects” - no you can’t make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

    “Risk of […] or other side effects?” - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

    “Have there been deaths?” - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting “mRNA vaccines cause blood clots” nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

    “Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it” - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology










  • Windows doesn’t have ext4 compatibility. When you mount a Linux partition through WSL you aren’t actually mounting the drive itself, you are booting a VM up and piping all I/O through that VM back to an emulated disk device on the host windows OS

    You would be better off having your steam library on an NTFS partition - at least your Linux OS can read the drive natively







  • Because many apps will (or would prefer to) only be bundled as Flatpak.

    This reads like speculation to me and is directly contrary to the file counts on flathub and snapcraft. What about CLI apps and server software? How are they supposed to distribute their software if not via snap? (Flatpak doesn’t support this well)

    could just as well be a rant why Canonical shouldn’t have introduced Snaps in the first place

    You are acting like Ubuntu core (and snaps) came after flatpak? Snaps were announced almost a decade ago

    Like, I get you don’t like snaps, but your argument is basically “every Linux distribution should ship the same default software, and it should be the software I choose”
