The natural conclusion of all the “whacky home projects” youtubers: building an underground lair from questionable materials.

I’m reminded of the Futurama scene

Leela: That’s over 150 atmospheres of pressure!

Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?

Prof: Well, it’s a spaceship so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.

I think his point is more that you might have multiple components that need database access in your app, so those component have a connection (or reuse a central access) and for simplicity reasons, you made 1 database for the whole app, rather than one per component. Once that happens there’s a new path that could be used to pass information between the components in a way that isn’t the function interface. Much like a global variable can be used that way. And there’s a risk you start to use the database like a global variable store.

I don’t use databases much, so I don’t have a strong opinion, but it’s an interesting thought.

The sign of a well thought out law, for sure, lol.

So videolan is pulling in either 50 million a year globally or 7 million in just france? That’s some significant numbers. And they’re also pushing at least 20 million GB of data in France? That must mean the law counts me using vlc to connect to e.g. a publicly available rtsp stream or something as vlc generating that content? $55/Tb is a pretty massive tax. This article has left me more confused than I thought possible

But it feeeeels like a backup, and isn’t that what really matters? In my setup I have 3 drives (2x 8Tb, 1x 14 Tb) and I finally have the opportunity to do some consolidation and not just have 3 single drives plugged into a server. Zfs, raid , a dedicated backup drive, but I’m still figuring out what the layout should be.

What is this, some kind of subnautica crossover?

Of course the nytimes has to pile on this. This is going to be one of those right wing “has the woke left gone too far” things based on a minor event on a single college, isn’t it.

Gotta get that chest mounted ERA.

Valid position from the Void side AND valid crashout. I’m impressed. A distro absolutely can use policy to enforce a vision to be AI-free on the contributions, and a maintainer can quit if they don’t agree with the distro vision

Yea just Windows for now, but still pretty messed up that they would attempt to hijack that discovery mechanism for malware, and that Windows is just like “sure!”

Don’t worry, these companies are working on a way around that, too. https://vi-control.net/community/threads/lg-monitors-silently-trigger-malware-installation-on-windows.173754/

I guess yall haven’t heard the art of Memphis Kansas Breeze https://youtu.be/L8MBUZjJX7Y?t=213

It’s definitely somewhere in their discography
