Some people care more about being remembered as a good person after they have died rather than having the highscore when they die.
Look at Alfred Nobel, the entire reason for creating the Nobel prize was to try and rehabilitate his memory after having invented dynamite.
I could see something similar motivating modern billionaires.
Dear Mr. Bezos, instead of pushing for increased energy use to create more slop, how about making something truly meaningful?
You have the money to do a LOT good, you also have the resources and contact to actually do it.
Here is a suggestion:
Set up a fund with 10 billion USD, have it managed to produce a decent, but predictable return every year.
Take another billion USD, and fund a non-profit organization that will develop the following:
At the end you should have a large fleet of the semi autonomous garbage collectors, a minimum of two motherships and a port side incinerator.
Deploy the garbage collectors and motherships to the great garbage patch and set to work cleaning up the surface.
As the initial funding for the company dries up the funding of the organization should come from the returns of the fund set up earlier.
The organization should accept donations and build more garbage collectors and motherships, and also develop new methods of collecting garbage from the oceans.
This is what they will look like for me:
Can’t get smart fridge ads if I don’t get a smart fridge. taps forehead
They ended up like Ericson here in Sweden, dropped their handset business to focus on the network side, both Ericson and Nokia are quite successful on that side, especially since the hubub about alleged backdoors in Huawei mobile network equipment a few years back.
I don’t believe they do like the current regime, why would they?
The government is demanding more and more stupid stuff for them to do, taking time and resources from more important tasks.
Creating a more dangerous social climate, causing less people to have enough money to buy their products while increasing cost of material.
You can call it bribes, I call it paying tribute to the king.
The guys know what is going on, they know that their companies futures are in the hands of a vindictive extreme narcissistic idiot of a king. They know that to be left alone they need to pay tribute to the king.
Is it a bribe or a protection racket? Yes, it is.
I mean, it is fair for the company leadership to decide on what is said through their channels.
I don’t really see any issues with them limiting what can be said when representing their company.
However, any coworker should be able to post, comment and like what they want on their own personal social media pages without it affecting their employment.
I remember various attempts by employers to force employees to represent the brand and company at all times, that is just idiotic.
I will only accept that my employer will have me say “no comment” when asked about company opinions or details in my free time.
I am currently in the final phase of building my first own built NAS.
(I have an oooooold Intel NAS, that I don’t really use anymore…)
I need to populate the case with storage drives, I need to add an Intel GPU, a 10gbit NIC, and possibly add an HBA to add two SSDs for VM storage.
Currently I have a:
I am running TrueNAS on it, that was just installed to make sure that it is working, but I am planning on running it going forward, as I am mostly looking to run the server as a filserver.
I wish that people would stop using kids for their own gain.
Whenever I see people using kids like this, I want to reply “Put the child down, they are not a bat for your political gains.”
But as I don’t have Twatter, I don’t.
Does this get enforces with old.reddit.com?
You don’t really need a self hosted app, you can write a script to do the following:
Then create a new scheduled task to run the script every week.
The result is that you have a deadman switch with a weeks delay
Unless you recreate file X every week, directory Y will be deleted.
This is a very simplistic example, but it would be decently difficult to figure out.
I am a hobby photographer and usually take a few hundred GBs of photos every year (I shoot in JPG+RAW), I have other media as well, but I am mainly concerned about my photos.
I have them currently saved to a single HDD in my computer, which has worked ok, but I have seen bitrot in some files…
So I was reliable storage, currently thinking of a zraid1 with four normal disks, one parity, one hot spare and one cold spare, I am looking for it to last a minimum of ten years with normal maintenance.
I will probably put 64GB ram in the server, and possibly an SSD cache over time
I am currently building a home server, this project timeline has been extended as I had no idea hard drives would be THAT expensive at the capacities I want…
I do have an old computer that is not in use, but I don’t want to run a Bulldozer plattform…
So I am basing my new server on the AMD Ryzen 4600G, should be fine
No, do not under any circumstances use the hot water tank as a water source!
This can be deadly!
Legionnaires’ disease is bad shit.
Interesting, I have to look into that, I am taking it slow, and will buy storage drives over a few months to spread the cost out, so I have time to think about it
I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…
Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…
I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…
I have been very happy with my Panasonic Lumix S5 and previously GX80, though I am planning on getting a Sony A7 IV as I want better AF, I’ll keep my S5 and the lenses though as I love the colors from it
Just heads up, the protest have worked, Geoguessr will not be participating in the event.
Huge Geoguessr fan here, This is a great protest, I will take down my maps as well!
