We are not going to abandon fossil fuels. However, fossil fuels are abandoning us. And those 8.1 billion and counting will be going away, too.

Ok, if you don’t use their web site you won’t see the UX dark patterns. Trust us, they there and fit with the overall garbagefication theme. Annoys the living shit out of me. At least no more Prime Video UI and ad trainwreck.

If you haven’t noticed, you’ve been not paying attention. I canceled Prime a while ago and they try very hard to get you back. And they try to sneak on you billed expedited shipping when over minimum gratis shipping quota. Dark patterns galore.

It would be a major pain for me to boycott them completely so I don’t, yet.

Dupe.

Nobody is using MMF these days even for local runs. As to sfp, check https://fs.com and pick a matching pair that is cheapest. These days it makes sense to use 10G or 25G rather than 1G. Some people run 100G for their homelab, but even used it’s pricy and noisy.

IBM does 60 deg C watercooling which can be not a lot of thermal delta in nonarctic environments. It’s a lot of km of infrastructure to vent directly if you want to dissipate a nuclear reactor’s worth of power in a single site.

Notice you have to cool both in the power plant and the DC. And these DCs run up to a GW or more.

Global Financial Crisis 2 is definitely a fast component in the overall collapse process. Unaccounted consumer debt is a useful facet of a diagnostic. We don’t know where exactly the spark will originate that will blow up GFC2. It could as well start there, though it’s not very probable.

You seem to not be using open source software packaged for multiple architectures or which can be built for your binary target. Most people will be just using a browser and an office suite.

No, that captures just the neuroanatomy. Not the properties like density of ion channels, type, value of the synapse and all the things we don’t know yet.

You seem to trust Nvidia. I don’t.

I would look into thin clients and Lenovo etc. tiny PC for office on eBay. I run old low power low noise rackmount Supermicros which are nice but hard to find at low prices.

Nicely put. I fully agree with this description.

I think we are already at the catabolic collapse stage where the elites are cannibalizing the periphery before the heartland. On the other hand the US has been also being stripped bare in patches for a while. So it is a simultaneous progressive process.

And these power lines into the EU are very easy to disrupt and disrupt again after repairs.

Factor in power bills and heat and noise into your calculations.

Secure has no meaning.

You could highlight the phrase, and he’ll still fail to get it.

There is a reason 1984 was written by a Brit.
