For me the yellow slice is others being stressed about me not being productive whilst I’m trying to sleep and get back some spoons(*) so I can function. Otherwise pretty accurate.

Edit: PS. I tend to watch Machinist and Maker videos rather than cats, but that’s just me.

Is it for Clickbait purposes?

Dat lijkt me een goed idee :)

These are job titles I’ve actually used:

• Brain for Hire
• Elephant header
• Janitor
• Troubleshooter

Over the past 25+ years I’ve worked for myself and whilst doing the exact same job, fixing complex ICT problems for my clients I’ve had to complete job title fields in countless corporate forms.

It’s fun to interact with colleagues who get the joke and hilarious when they don’t.

I can absolutely guarantee that you are not the only person to have spent quality time getting to know the intimate backwaters of a codebase tracking down a bug that you introduced whilst tracking down a bug.

Education.

😂

About that.

Just because I’ve done it this way and haven’t had issues, doesn’t mean it’s the best or only way.

You dared to ask a question and the tools to explore answers are readily available.

This is how we as a society make progress.

Please don’t feel like my experience is the final answer to your question … my experience tells me that this is rarely … if ever … the case.

So … please … explore!

If you genuinely attempting to quantify this, you can create a swap file of any size right there on your drive. You could iterate and test every setting for every scenario. You could even change settings dynamically if you wanted to.

That said, I leave it to the kernel to figure out and over the past 25 or so years that’s been fine.

Or you just block them.

I will note that in my experience the bot army from META is by far the most aggressive and destructive. At one point, traffic from their systems was tenfold all the others combined.

Hmm … I confess that I really appreciate and enjoy the company of the neighbours all around me … although there is one … let me work on that …

Very cute … I don’t even have space for the little rodent, let alone a distant cousin ten times its size.

I’m guessing that you’d need a big backyard for either … so I’m out.

I’m guessing in the same way as Bit Torrent and others before it … with big flaming headlines, politicians foaming at the mouth, lawyers rubbing their hands with glee and the world for the general public becoming a little bit more shit whilst the actual miscreants carry on with impunity on some other platform or get funded by venture capitalists who make everything legal but no less palatable.

Pretty sure that they already shared it with copilot, so I’m guessing that it’s only a matter of time until everyone has a copy…

I’m assuming you’re familiar with Asahi Linux?

It’s still very much a work in progress.

At the moment I’m bridging the gap by using homebrew, UTM, ssh into local hardware and shortly remote desktop on EC2.

It’s far from ideal, but that’s where I found myself after my x86 iMac died last year, so I feel your pain.

I’m not familiar with how many telephones in Spain are landlines, but looking at Australia, where I am, the majority of connections don’t have an SLA battery, made even more power dependent because we have been rolling out fibre optic cable everywhere and the copper wire in the ground has been disconnected, preventing telephone exchanges from powering much of anything anymore.

The idea that generators will keep the essentials running is incomplete if not outright incorrect. Most of these systems have never been actually tested with an actual outage, look at Heathrow airport for a recent example.

At best a generator will run for up to 12 hours, and only if you have multiple generators and the fuel to run them will you have much in the way of energy security.

Of course if you’re already running on a generator then the picture is different, but even then, in the case of a country wide power outage, getting fuel for longer periods of time is going to be a challenge.

A modern sized ram is no joking matter … they can really fuck you up good and proper. Now imagine one sized to match the fossil … shudder.

Do you mean this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
