Even assuming 25% of Twitter users are bots (probably a significant over estimate), and even if half of Twitter’s users quit in the next year, it would still be 150x bigger than mastodon
(Mastodon has ~1m MAUs, compared to ~421m for Twitter)
I’m going to use that next time I need to bail out of a story I shouldn’t have started telling
Digging into it a bit more, it seems like I might be better off getting a 12gb 3060 - similar price point, but much newer silicon
8700g
Hah, I’ve pretty recently picked up an Epyc 7452, so not really looking for a new platform right now.
The Arc cards are interesting, will keep those in mind
Thanks for the tips! I’m looking for something multi-purpose for LLM/stable diffusion messing about + transcoder for jellyfin - I’m guessing that there isn’t really a sweet spot for those 3. I don’t really have room or power budget for 2 cards, so I guess a P40 is probably the best bet?
Personally I can’t wait for a few good bankruptcies so I can pick up a couple of high end data centre GPUs for cents on the dollar
If only we lived in a world so simple as to allow the whims of managers, customers and third parties to be completely definable in UML
Good thing there hasn’t been any remotely exploitable security bugs in any of the mail system components in the 6 years since Debian 7 went EoL
Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don’t pull punches.
Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest
If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting
Looks like it’s an x86_64 kernel though? So this is a VM - it’s not running as a paravirtualised system, it’s having to emulate everything from the CPU up?
If a project is hosted on sourceforge then its a pretty good sign that the developer hasn’t progressed their craft since about 2005, which is a pretty big red flag for anything
Ah yes, WordPress, renowned for it’s robust social engagement tools.
It’s the kind of decision you announce over Zoom so people don’t riot
I learnt a ton about Linux by fucking up my boot config and being too stubborn to just nuke and pave
lithium batteries
People in the office next to mine deal with prototype lithium cells and yeah, terrifying. They charge them in a special fire cabinet in case they go pop, and have buckets of sand everywhere (although the official advice is to not bother, gtfo). If you plot energy density on a line, there is an overlap between the highest density lithium cells and lowest density high explosives
True in most places with large immigrant populations, and goes double if it’s not just “<country name>” cuisine, but “<specific region in country name>”. There is a place around the corner from my work that specializes in Lanzhou beef noodles - it’s down a side street in a little shopping arcade, I’m guaranteed to be the only white guy in there but it’s absolutely fantastic food
It might be your computer, but it’s their network - they get to set the rules as to how it gets used.
Obligatory “read your schools’ computer use policy before you get yourself in trouble for evading the firewall”
Way back when I used to go to the football with dad - kids under 5 could take the train for free, but weren’t allowed in the stadium, so I was 4 on the train, and 5 when we got to the stadium
