No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?
162·17 days agoI’ve deployed substantial quantities of gear in 9 datacenters across 4 countries in my career. I’ve gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What’s your background?
30 seconds searching will back me up. https://www.digitalrealty.com/resources/articles/what-floor-loading-capacity-do-dlr-data-centers-have

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?
372·17 days agoWeight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you’re at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It’s much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.
That being said I’ve been in many data centers in the middle of a giant office towers, but they have lower weight limits generally.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•is it fine to leave steam deck in sleep mode instead of turning it off?
331·19 days agoIt’s horrible about sleeping. If you want your battery, turn it off. The latest update seems to be better, but I wouldn’t trust it in your shoes.

17·23 days agoYep. He’s happy to trade in it for a treat.
You’ve made a virtual disk on the zfs. The vm will never see the zfs, that’s managed entirely by the host.
Yes you’ll want to make a normal partition inside that virtual disk.
With vms you can’t just access the host zfs, it’s always abstracted. If you use lxc containers on proxmox then you can bind the zfs into the container (google it for steps, it’s not in the Gui)
I believe notifications would be accessible. Note that i don’t mean the push notification backend mentioned by Doomerang, but the actual notification that goes into your status bar (which is all processed on device). That would be readable by the OS in theory.
“i did it on accident” blows my mind. It’s by accident, not on accident.

I normally agree, but this feels like a troll post where op asked AI for a list of sources hating on lemmy. There’s no effort to make suggestions or start an actual conversation about it.
Point #1 tells me you don’t understand the concept of federation. Most of your source links are broken, so which old troll post did you copy + paste this from?
23 hours ago you posted saying you were leaving lemmy for instagram, why are you still here complaining?

385·1 month agoI’ve been on Samsung for years and I don’t get this argument anymore. There’s no ads on my phone, and one ui is pretty smooth.
I do use my own launcher so maybe that covers it up, but new Samsung isn’t like what they were a long time ago.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??
1·1 month agoAs someone who doesn’t have kids, nope.
Are you running it in docker? If so, did you bind the mount properly? Exec into sh in the container and manually test the folder.
If not docker, su to the immich user and test the same thing.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??
2·1 month agoI don’t remember a manual at all, I think I just learned how to code by messing with nibbles (snake) and gorillas. I remember my friends qbasic came with those two sample games when mine didn’t, so I had to copy them on floppy off his pc.
Like you have it running and added but it’s not scanning?
I can check my config later today if nobody else replies sooner.
https://docs.immich.app/features/libraries/
External libraries use import paths to determine which files to scan. Each library can have multiple import paths so that files from different locations can be added to the same library. Import paths are scanned recursively, and if a file is in multiple import paths, it will only be added once.
Have you double checked your folder permissions?
Yes. It’d be pretty silly of it not to.
I just gave it my giant lightroom library.

Doesn’t really make sense for self hosting. Filtering the traffic is pointless if the traffic just completely overwhelms your internet.
Also generally self hosters aren’t running bgp with their own asn.
