I'm 31, husband is 62, AMA
  • Deep in the thread, asking deep questions.

    If you ask me, survival of the fittest is not justice. It is what emerges from a zero-sum game and is not the optimal strategy for the human race.

  • Selfhosters, how do you run your services?
  • This is the way. Docker (& compose) are not flawless, but they are predictable and useful enough for all my needs.

    I currently have around 12 containers running on my server, all trough docker compose. Only thing I use nix for is providing tools & their configs. And also restic backups.

  • ELI5 why do people in USA need to register to vote?
  • We do have "permanent address" here too and it is used to determine the voter station and district and thus the representative candidates you can vote.

    Is the "permanent address" a thing just for the voting system, or is it used for other bureaucracy as well?

  • Explain Like I'm 5 (ELI5) @lemmy.world verstra @programming.dev

    ELI5 why do people in USA need to register to vote?

    I'd expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a "invitation" to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

    Instead, I'm seeing posts about USA's "voter rolls", which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn't this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

    So why doesn't USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?

    Still relevant, just substitute for win 11

    Inconceivable!
  • This logic is not sound. Why couldn't be the case that only one religion is right?

    Three people looking at a triangle might have different opinions about what shape it is. It is inconceivable that they are all right, but that does not imply that they are all wrong.

  • Fraction of our power.
  • Oh, special powder adds so much to scout gameplay! The other day I tried using some other secondary weapon and I've realized I'm half as mobile as I'm with special powder. And it's so much fun!

  • Praetorian.
  • First time hearing this got me really worried:

    Hrm, this doesn't look good... We've just picked up a group of Praetorians heading your way. Dig in, team.

    But this one gave a bad feeling in the gut:

    Something big is headed your way. Better prepare for the worst.

  • Why YAML sucks?
  • This is the major reason for me. I really liked yaml, because it is way more readable to me than JSON. But then I kept finding new and more confusing yaml features and have realized how over-engineered it is.

    Yaml would be great language if it had its features prunned heavy.

  • Stealing?
  • They've lost potential revenue, but that is not the same as if amazon would come to their house and had stolen their only rucksack prototype.

    Potential revenue is not your property.

    It still sucks though.

  • Electricians of fediverse, should I have my selfhosting box grounded?

    I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

    The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

    Yes, github, I want to dagger you

    Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?

    I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

    But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

    What's your usage? What do you host?

    Do you mine iron in the swamp using wishbone or crypts?

    It seems like the nodes I find using wishbone are small and underwater. Are they even worth it?

    Open question: what is a round number, for you personally?
