TURKEY POWER
  • The fun part of this is this is true of any 1GW power source. We have been deploying solar+battery arrays in that range recently for much less money and much faster than nuclear.

    Thanks "Office of nuclear energy" for pointing out how useful large scale solar+battery is too!

  • Its not incredibly likely you can import social media from one network to another.

    It has never been supported by any social media network, and bluesky's architecture is such that the only people that can host it are giant orgs like mega corps, who are profit driven and who want lockin, not portability.

    You're hoping it works out, but without an example of viability, it's just conjecture that this is a real or even valuable feature.

  • Looks like we talking about different things. You just want a list of all your comments? To what end? Note taking? Nostalgia?

    I'm talking about a social media account without a social media network. All you can do is format shift the data to have a record. You cant use it for what it was designed for in the bluesky framework.

  • I love opting in by default 🙃
  • If you're feeling both morbid and curious, you can easily buy bone meal and try it out.

    Bone meal is a very common fertilizer. It may not be food safe to eat, but you can probably make a loaf of bread and look at it at least.

  • Maybe. An rss reader is a very basic service with an easy way to rebuild, but killing google reader still led in part to the death of rss as a viable platform. Its barely in use anymore as a protocol, even though there are plenty of options to run now. Bluesky is a wildly more difficult and expensive tool to reanimate and compete with than rss, so it might be even deader if they ever give up.

    Having data in a dead format isn't valuable. It's like having 100 laserdiscs and no player. They don't do anything but look shiny. That has some value, but it doesn't do what it is supposed to.

  • Dont sell anything, yet. I'm sure they will a start selling things sooner or later, seeing as it's not a charity, and its platform is expensive to run.

    That 6% is the gross of sales, not revenues profit as well. It can work out to a company's entire profit margin. Its an incredibly serious fine you dont want trained on you at any point.

  • Picard can give as good as he gets
  • The culture is intensely subtext based. There are different meanings for how you strike someone. They have rituals for all sorts of everyday tasks, each full of right and wrong ways to do things.

    Any culture that has that much subtext in it has language taboos.

  • QNAP firmware update leaves NAS owners locked out of their boxes
  • QNAP has had plenty of embarrassing bugs and zero days. They have tried to shift to a more security focused architecture, and are catching the other side of that sword right now.

    QNAP's firmware push was intended, in part, to cover recent security vulnerabilities in their devices. QNAP devices are a rich and frequent target of criminal hackers. A severe vulnerability from February 2023 allowed for remote SQL injections and potential administrative control of a device, affecting nearly 30,000 devices seen in network scans. It was a follow-on from attacks by DeadBolt, a ransomware gang that infected thousands of QNAP devices and cornered QNAP into automatically pushing emergency updates, even to customers with automatic updates turned off.

    Security researchers at WatchTowr said they found 15 vulnerabilities in QNAP's operating systems and cloud services and informed the company of them. After QNAP failed to patch some of those vulnerabilities far beyond the typical 90-day window (and then some), WatchTowr went public with its findings, dubbed "QNAPping at the Wheel."

  • Bluesky boom worries Chinese media
  • IPO is public sale on the stock msrket. Private sales are always available.

    Bluesky is not truly federated, but is designed for large orgs to be able to host different parts of it. Twitter could start offering its own implementation if they wanted.

  • Im not an expert either, but both people in the above links are. They are both worth reading if you want to understand the platforms better.

    As to blueskys user data portability, it's part of the protocol to a degree, but it's not a reality. The design is such that only megacorps/giant orgs can host the bluesky service. It doesnt really matter if your data is portable if no one will let you import it. Its akin to google reader and rss. People could export their rss feeds when google shut down google reader, but without an rss reader, it didn't matter. That data had no usable context.

    These is a drastic asymmetry problem with bluesky. It demands a giant player to gatekeep, whereas the fediverse lets anyone, anywhere add or even begin a network.

    The Fediverse doesnt have a parallel of data portability at all, so even that lackluster implementation is something, but to both protocols defense, the Fediverse is talking about changes to activelypub to add this, and bluesky is attempting to make small services more possible.

    Still, in all reality, neither of these platforms offers anything like that today, or likely in the near future.

  • Not knowing how money works, yet running a business
  • Comparing the mundane small talk and boring back and forth of an interview to the shattering evil of slavery is well past extreme. These two things should not be compared in any context.

    Youre not alone in being nuerodivergent. It was realizing that the interview process is an act, with orchestrated motions, that makes it approachable. Its not about lying or being lied to. Its a series of motions that repeat basicslly everywhere. You can learn and practice these motions, because they are so repetitive, and become very good at them.

    Literally read off and practice answers to common interview questions. Any "top 10" or "top 100" guide. Have an answer to each of them, and practice them. You'll be stunned how often they come up, and how much easier interviews get. You still wont get every job, but you'll come through as a much better candidate in most cases.
