15% of the population are under 12 and almost 5% are over 80.

ed: actually, it seems like “85%” is just bullshit. Probably closer to 95% Wondering if this might not be a decade+ old chart.

The real goal of fake news: there is no reality, only this moment’s convenient story.

The law only gets you compensation after the abuse and destruction ends. If anything.

Even 50W, 24/7, is 36 kWh/month. $3 where I live; $12 in CA.

My Pi spends all of its time around 55°C in a 20-25°C room. Main server idles at 47°C. Those aren’t worrying temps.

I’ve watched enough Lock Picking Lawyer never to want a consumer ‘smart lock.’ Half of them can be opened with a magnet. Maybe commercial grade is better, but I’ve been locked out of my job after every power failure for the last 10 years, until someone comes along with a physical key.

Re homeassistant on a Pi: homeassistant does a lot of database transactions, so you may want to have db storage on something other than an SD card.

Lemmy needs a new community: Cops or Criminals? Just pictures of thugs in SUVs & you have to guess whether they’re a cartel hit squad or ICE.

If you’re doing 1-a-day, a rice cooker can be a great simplifier. Throw a measure of rice & your protein into the cooker, some rough chopped veg if you like. 2 minutes prep. While it cooks, make some kind of a sauce - yogurt or mayo make great bases, just add whatever spices you like; gochujang or miso thinned out with some soy sauce, citrus, or vinegar. When the rice & protein is done, pour on the sauce, add some pickled veg if you like. 800-1000 calories, depending on how much fat is in your sauce, one cooking pot, one eating bowl. 20 minutes start to finish.

Their original webseries…serieses?..with actual actors, were crazy good, especially if you account for them coming from a $15,000 kickstarter.

At the time, it was part of the whole poisonous structure of the 2017 tax bill, where everything would expire after Trump’s presumed 2nd term to sabotage his Democratic successor, confident that no one has long enough memory to realize where it came from.

I got that kind of call for four years after I got a new phone number. 2-3 times a day. Plus texts offering to buy Tuyet’s home, appointment reminders for her & her kid’s(?) doctor, occasional temp-staffing offers. You can’t beat them by not answering.

You can only spin drives down if they’re idle. If you have a service that touches it - say, homeassistant logging data, tvheadend updating EPG - then they’re going to keep spinning.

I switched from an I3-530, nominal TDP 73W, to an N-100, nominal TDP 7W, and power from the wall didn’t change at all. Even the i3 ran around 0.1 CPU load, except when transcoding, and I’m left with the impression that most of the power goes into HDDs, RAM, maybe fans, and PS losses. My sense is that the best way to decrease homelab power use is to minimize the number of devices. Start with your seyrver at 60W, add a WAP at 10-15W, maybe a switch at 10-15W… Not because of the CPUs, necessarily, but because every CPU every CPU comes with systems to keep the CPU going, keep the power regulated, etc.

It’s from a Molly White doot. I don’t see it on her website https://www.citationneeded.news/ but she’s definitely been all over Trump’s crypto.

I’m not a huge docker expert, but I recently spun up a tandoor…dev, and their config instructions explicitly point out a couple of mounts that have to be volumes and can not be binds.

Docker’s own comments are https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/ which my tl;dr is faster, can be shared by multiple containers, and can be a remote (NFS/CIFS) target.

I’d guess that maintainers use the volume structure to let docker handle the details of creating and maintaining the mount, rather than put it on the user, who may be spinning up their first-ever docker and may make all kind of naive mistakes.

The reason for his post was that a provider shut down his access on the accusation of CSAM, without (according to him) much if any investigation. Cloud providers have all manner of automated systems for reporting CSAM, copyright, and other potential abuses, and generally seem to take a guilty-until-proven-innocent approach. They may or may not even be responsive to defense or explanation. Colo isolates you from abuse of those systems.

My ISP seems to use just normal DHCP for assigning addresses and honors re-use requests. The only times my IP addresses have changed has been I’ve changed the MAC or UUID that connects. I’ve been off-line for a week, come back, and been given the same address. Both IPv4 and v6.

If one really wants their home systems to be publicly accessible, it’s easy enough to get a cheap vanity domain and point it at whatever address. rDNS won’t work, which would probably interfere with email, but most services don’t really need it. It’s a bit more complicated to detect when your IP changes and script a DNS update, but certainly do-able, if (like OP) one is hell bent on avoiding any off-site hardware.

Daniel Stenberg claims that the curl bug reporting system is effectively DDOSed by AI wrongly reporting various issues. Doesn’t seem like a good feature in a code auditor.

I, for one, would rather just see them use a couple of 2/0 AWG welding cables, bolted onto a 5mm copper plate on the board. If you need 200 amps, make it look like 200 amps.

The UPS needs some power to keep its batteries full. Could be that it’s triggering off some threshold to do a charge cycle instead of just running a constant trickle. I’ve noticed that my laptop and phone charge that way, for example.
