    Those had me nail biting over the scale of months/years. That first cancer one where they were holding each other with no reference frame was rough. 800 frames of sarcasm and wit and all of a sudden… BOOM

    He explained it like 6 months later, but stayed pretty quiet, then the two years (1141) was kinda optimistic, then 7 (1928) was kinda a breath of relief, 10 years (2386) was refreshing, now I’m quietly waiting to see 15.




  • 48PB in excess of 120 million items.

    Most of our distributed storage sharing systems break down long before that.

    Even if DHT could handle it, we’d need like five full copies of it out there for it to be safe, and not one or two people with multi petabyte rigs, when you get really distributed.

    2100 22tb drives

    ~700k dollars.

    If you factor in volume discounts you can probably afford enough discs to make it a bunch of nice raids.

    Of course, then you’ll need a bunch of really expensive chassis to be able to mount them and have them working.

    Seems like somebody could stand a spare a couple million to make that happen.

    Apple already proved they’ll roll over for the EU on encryption backdoors.

    If it comes down to them selling in the US or not selling in the US, they’re going to roll over and do whatever the government demands.

    They’re all so holding all of your data, metrics, and browsing habits securely in their hands.

    When the government demands baggacips data, they’re going to hand it over, the same as Google would.

    And none of this is ever a problem until the government goes kind of fascist. When browsing privacy subs on Lemmy becomes an act of treason…

    Even if I’m not doing anything wrong or illegal, I sure as hell I’m not going to send my data through a VPN that logs and is known to comply with foreign court requests.

    You can in fact drive yourself insane trying to stay private and secure, But I do know that trusting a single gigantic monolithic company that operates in a questionable regime to protect you from government entities is a losing battle.


  • Hard disagree, I’d bifurcate my internal DNS in a hot second before I tried to fix this with static routes. Those* internal services and that DNS server aren’t going anywhere. The only time they can affect it is when it’s needed

    Asking a noob to handle static routes is a double ungood situation.

    A home gamer with a router that can handle reflection would be rare.

    It’s one service that he’s hosting and in control of, and he’s also in control of that internal IP so it doesn’t have to change.

    If anything I’d be worried that those VMs (and applications in the VM) are getting regular updates. He’s more likely to get intrusion through a zero day on one of those hacks than he is to see any serious issues through throwing a couple DNS records around.


  • Before COVID, it was nothing to run into Duncan and get three or four dozen donuts for the office. They were less than $9 a dozen.

    They currently want $25 for a dozen at my local Duncan. We used to have donuts at work all the time. Now it’s like once a year.

    I guess they’re making too much money off overpriced coffee to bother with making donuts.




  • and all are doing pretty well

    China, hmm, so Taiwan, Hong Kong, The Uyghurs control production so they are in charge? Doesn’t look like it. Civil unrest over lack of representation shouldn’t be a thing in a working communism right?

    NK is a dictatorship and we all know it, it doesn’t matter what they call themselves. Also, from ANY journalism that has made it outside the boarders, I think it would be grossly unfair to call them even OK.

    I might give you a couple of points for Cuba being throttled, but damn things aren’t good there.

    I don’t have a lot of expertise in LAOS or Vietnam, things don’t look very rosey

    https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/laos-migrant-workers-brave-exploitation-unsafe-working-conditions-in-thailand/

    Worldwide human-rights watches also don’t paint things well in Vietnam.

    Even if you claim that’s all propaganda, places like Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Europe don’t seem to have any where near the tumult over any of the countries you mentioned.

    To be clear, I don’t think communism can’t work. But I also don’t think any of these countries really take communism seriously. Each of these should be overwhelmingly by the people for the people, but there seem to be serious issues about people and work.

    The current state of capitalism is fucked too. You have to find places that aren’t being pillaged by the oligarchs no matter where you go, and that’s becoming harder and harder no matter your governmental structure.
