It's fine until you run out of disk space
  • Yeah, default Ubuntu LTS webserver kicked the mysqld on a stupid query (but it worked on dev - all developers, someday) not too long ago...

    What is it with services now separating username and password fields?
  • Yes, with a limited set of federations you can have the user make that choice beforehand. But sometimes the options are changing all the time and/or you don't want to announce all the services you're federating with, or it wouldn't make sense anyway.

    Antimatter falls down, not up: CERN experiment confirms theory
  • No offense, but nothing you wrote here makes any sense. You're right (if I'm 'translating' this correctly), but you're mix-and-matching various concepts here.

    Fact-check: Is air conditioning making cities hotter?
  • Yeah, but that's not relevant. That heat came from the outside in the first place. Heat pumps are very effective at moving heat, i.e. a 2kw unit kan move 8kw worth of energy. It's not that 8kw that's the problem. That's just the heat that's being moved. That's a net-zero operation. It's that 2kw that's used to move the heat which is a problem. That 2kw is effectively being added to the system, and it comes from whatever your local power grid energy mixture is.

  • A while back he (Musk) posted that individual blocklists are relatively expensive (cpu wise) to run, which is true. This has been getting much worse with the whole blue check debacle. People are blocking those idiots en masse. I'm fairly sure this is just a cost saving measure.

    T(rule)y Problem
  • Yeah, I'd be a bit more careful about making statements on physics education. The setup in itself is breaking physics itself. Arguing about what would happen is like saying "if we ignore the rules, what would happen according to the rules?". It's theoretical either way and there's no correct answer.

    What's the consensus on AdGuard?
  • Yup, I second NextDNS. It works perfectly, and the free tier is enough for my mobile, wife's mobile and my desktop. AdGuard is included, as are dozens of other (selectable) lists.

    My ISP has taken total control of my network
  • In that case you totally don't. But many ISPs only allow their own routers/modems or require some very specific abilities from 3rd-party routers usually only found on more high end (expensive) models. So sometimes the last resort is double NATing (which is fine for most users).
