New business model: release stupid cloud connected stuff no one wants and sell to security researchers.

Imagining it just saying “hey, looked like blood in there”, which people can figure out by just looking themselves… If it’s more subtle, a camera isn’t going to help anyway and you need testing to know.

I agree, though at least fascism is a little more vague and I think that is at least more workable than the very specific Nazi designation.

A person can dodge accusations of Nazi by just not having any affinity with specific Nazi things. No swastika, no praising Hitler, and you can make an argument that you aren’t a “Nazi” per se, since that is a very specific thing technically. You can be a totally authoritarian figure with every whiff of the badness of the Nazis, but not a Nazi.

Have funds in an index fund but not specific stocks.

I could accept owning stock, but no buying or selling as of the moment you register as a candidate until a year out of office

While true, there are things similar to emulation penalties. See the need for ntsync. Imitating Windows sync semantics in user space was expensive.

Similarly, saw a breakdown of why dx12 games suck under linux with Nvidia, which is fairly similar concerns, with work underway to make it easier to implement things that resemble Windows behavior. In principle once done it might even outperform windows at it’s own game.

Hardware raid limits your flexibility, of any part fails, you probably have to closely match the part in replacement.

Performance wise, there’s not much to recommend them. Once upon a time the xor calculations weighed on CPU enough to matter. But cpus far outpaced storage throughput and now it’s a rounding error. They continued some performance edge by battery backed ram, but now you can have nvme as a cache. In random access, it can actually be a lability as it collapses all the drive command queues into one.

The biggest advantage is simplifying booting from such storage, but that can be handled in other ways that I wouldn’t care about that.

While sas is faster, the difference is moot if you have even a modest nvme cache.

I don’t know if it’s especially that much more reliable, especially I would take new SATA over second hand sas any day.

The hardware raid means everything is locked together, you lose a controller, you have to find a compatible controller. Lose a disk, you have to match pretty closely the previous disk. JBOD would be my strong recommendation for home usage where you need the flexibility in event of failure.

The RAM that has been sold will not be viable for desktop systems, but especially with manufacturing capacity build up, you’d have memory vendors a bit more desperate to find a target market for new product. Datacenter clients will still exist but they could actually subsist on the hypothetical leftovers of a failed buildout, so consumer space may be their best bet.

Unfortunately not even then. Nowadays the GPUs are a pretty alien form factor, usually not pcie cards. SXM and now HGX.

Datacenter gear has resembled consumer systems less and less after a period of getting closer in the 90s and 2000s.

Let’s see what happened between 2020 when none of this was happening and today that might make these nations feel like they have to be prepared for conflict… Total mystery…

Yeah but it’s not like he actually uses his brain anyway…

Of there’s plenty of evidence, of some things that should matter in a court of law.

Wow, going from hexbear to lemmy.ml, you really know how to pick em…

I’d say the Pizzagate and birther movement did backfire to some extent, some moderates alienated by how ridiculous they were. Ultimately it wasn’t enough to stave off the Trump presidency, but if not for Pizzagate and birther movement, I wouldn’t have been surprised if Trump managed to even get the popular vote in 2016, for example. I didn’t even recall the ‘hilary has a penis’ thing at all, so I can’t speak to that.

Frankly, I think it gets a bit confusing when we lump every horrible authoritarian into the ‘Nazi’ bucket.

Not to validate Russia’s assertion of any such authoritaranism in Ukraine, just broadly speaking to the ‘they are a Nazi’ accusations. Like even if a lot of these folks aren’t “Nazis” they are still bad, but the language is like they might be fine so long as they aren’t specifically a Nazi…

the TLS-ALPN-01 challenge requires a https server that implements generating a self-signed certificate on demand in response to a specific request. So we have to shut down our usual traffic forwarder and let an ACME implementation control the port for a minute or so. It’s not a long downtime, but irritatingly awkward to do and can disrupt some traffic on our site that has clients from every timezone so there’s no universal ‘3 in the morning’ time, and even then our service is used as part of other clients ‘3 in the morning’ maintenance windows… Folks can generally take a blip in the provider but don’t like that we generate a blip in those logs if they connect at just the wrong minute in a month…

As to why not support going straight to 443, don’t know why not. I know they did TLS-ALPN-01 to keep it purely as TLS extensions to stay out of the URL space of services which had value to some that liked being able to fully handle it in TLS termination which frequently is nothing but a reverse proxy and so in principle has no business messing with payload like HTTP-01 requires. However for nginx at least this is awkward as nginx doesn’t support it.

Difference there being everyone knows that’s a mockery and not genuinely intended to be true.

For the ‘allegedly true’ stuff that is actually realistic and realistically knowable but is on dubious grounds in actual facts, that can backfire without much upside.

Not speaking to this specific bit of information, but generally speaking when they give you just so much easily provable material to work with, it’s just silly to go far into speculation over trivialities that actually distract from the big and real issues going on.

And what disturbances do you mean?

This very article seems to be a prime example. Yes, NATO spending is up, and because of Russia conducting a violent unprovoked invasion of a sovereign territory in their area, and a general reduction in confidence that they can rely on USA and must fend for themselves. Trump’s schtick is mostly ‘America shouldn’t help so much, fend for yourself’. Even with somewhat elevated spending, would that offset the loss of capability that would come with the US just failing to live up to their NATO obligations when the time came?

Why would Putin kick off the Ukraine war immediately after his “agent” leaves office?

Because things were going to be as good as he could get them and the best opportunity was before the new administration could reverse course? In the most favorable Russia outcome, Trump might have followed through on threats to further reduce NATO contributions, but with Trump gone and a more NATO-friendly admin in place, things were going to get worse for Putin before they could get better. I vaguely recall some non-US situations that similarly could have greased the wheels for an easier annexation of Ukraine, so it’s not like the US is the only factor in such timing anyway, but don’t recall what specifics made me think of that.

Trump is not a Russian asset. He’s an easily-manipulated businessman

I will agree that it’s not a straightforward “Trump is a Russian agent”, but an “asset” is not an agent. He’s a convenient “friend” that is easily manipulated/bribed. He doesn’t have loyalty or anything like that to Putin, but he is plainly easy to manipulate, and Putin’s circle has been consistently in position to do that manipulation for decades. Others may be no saints, but Trump is comparitively easier to mess with because of just being terrible at the things he purports to be good at.
