The Downtime Project is a pretty interesting podcast that covers some large outages and discusses their post-mortem analysises. Worth a listen IMO, very interesting stuff and some good lessons to learn.

I loved that book growing up and was so excited when the movie was coming out (on my birthday!)

To this day, that movie is the only one I legitimately walked out of. It was such a terrible adaptation.

Running an RKE cluster as VMs on my ceph+proxmox cluster. Using Rook and external ceph as my storage backend and loving it. I haven’t fully migrated all of my services, but thus far it’s working well enough for me!

Oh yeah…the sounds were something else lol. The technicians gave me earplugs for mine. It is quite a loud procedure strangely enough. The one benefit was that I was able to request the imagery they took on a disc afterwards and then I was able to 3d print my brain from the imagery!

Watching them do the chair was… terrifying… Just seeing the rigging they used stretch and jump up in 200lbf increments gave me sweaty palms.

I had to get an MRI at the start of the year and told them I had metal permanent retainers and was slightly concerned. They were like “Nah, you’re fine.” I was like “Okay, just please don’t steal my teeth 😬”

OSRS?

Good bot

I don’t know how I feel about this personally. On the one hand, I feel like this is a privacy win for those who want it: no watch history means no algorithmic recommendations and (presumably) less data collection for those users. On the other hand, I personally really enjoy the recommendations that YouTube makes for me. Maybe it is the wide variety of content that I watch, but I’m honestly very pleased with the recommendations that YouTube provides. That being said, I feel like the opt-in to algorithmic recommendations is a good thing overall, however I am personally going to leave my watch history enabled.

I want to try and create discussion about videos that may be less main stream. Video (specifically medium- to long-form) is my preferred type of content to consume, however I don’t have the ability to create my own content. [email protected] is great but as @[email protected] mentioned below:

Posts that invite comments tend to get comments.

[email protected] doesn’t directly ask for discussion on the videos posted. I created a community, [email protected], to try to bridge this gap. The idea is that you find an interesting video, you watch it, and then you post it with your main take-away or a question you had to try and foster a discussion.

Not sure if it is working, but that’s my own methodology to trying to increase engagement with content that I don’t personally produce.

Also, I am running a small self-hosted instance for friends, so my name may not be as “out there” as the larger instances, but I’m pretty sure that anyone can post to this community.

Back when COVID was in its prime, I was contributing CPU/GPU cycles to Folding@Home for protein folding simulations and working on a vaccine. Since then, I’ve reimaged my desktop twice. I should probably reinstall the BOINC client to contribute again…

Thanks for the info. That seems quite heavy handed.

I’m out of the loop, what is France trying to do with regard to DNS?

This video is a must watch for explaining the fundamental problems of crypto/NFTs.

Warning: it long, like feature movie long, but really informative.

Yeah, the whole article feels like it is both pandering and condescending at the same time. No thanks lol.

This article is so cringey.

Here’s the link to the study: https://doi.org/10.3390/s23136205

No, no you’re totally fine. I agree that “slum tourism” feels bad, and I agree that this video initially strikes as “slum tourism”, however watching additional videos of his I feel like this is less the case. I think that Indigo Traveller seeks to highlight the inequity present in the modern day, and while this is not something that is comfortable, it is something that should be addressed in a forum such as this one.

You brought up “slum tourism”, which I agree is not pleasant, and makes me feel gross to promote (as is the case in this video), however bringing attention to videos such as these can help people be aware of the struggles of others.

This awareness is not a panacea, but rather is the seed of an idea than can attempt to equalize the inequity present in other’s thinking.

Thanks for your input! I’d love to hear more if you’re willing to share.

I don’t know. I feel like perspective is everything, and you seem to have an idea of how things are in Mozambique which is totally fair, whereas I do not. This is a fair assessment, however I feel that the visibility that Indigo Traveller provides into the situation in Mozambique is worthwhile nonetheless.
