I agree with the general reasoning of what you say but in this case (and some others we could name) I'm tempted to call it a form of protest even. Basically letting them know that: "Your product is good enough that I respect it, but i think i'm justified in working around the way you've set up payment for it through so many dishonest dark patterns that some of them might arguably even be illegal themselves. So fix yourselves a bit first before acting like the only victims".
Consider the 2x2 matrix and the two types of error in it:

* Optimistic think is correct in good environment

* Optimistic think is wrong in bad environment

* Pessimistic think is correct in bad environment

* Pessimistic think is wrong in good environment

An optimistic thinker being wrong in a bad environment will result in inability to expect bad events. In our modern world, he will probably be robbed of his wealth. Since he thinks optimistically, he will keep trying and succeed to some extent.

A pessimistic thinker being wrong in a good environment will chronically fail to take advantage of opportunities. While everybody else is fucking and getting rich, the pessimist is in paranoid survival mode afraid to do anything but hunker down for the worst, which never comes.

Which error is WORSE is determined on average by how good or bad the world is. If you think the world is more good over time, the pessimist error is worse. If you think the world is more bad over time, the optimist error is worse. Your views might depend on where in the world exactly you live, but I consider the world to have vastly and measurably improved, forever and so far, since we began our existence on this rock billions of years ago.

Therefore, I choose optimism. If I'm wrong and am robbed (which I've been!), it's still the correct play. Like when you play poker; you calculate the odds, make the play, and even if when the cards hit the table you see you could've won more with a different play, that doesn't matter, because you play the odds. The outcome of probability doesn't change the strategy!

I recently got an HP Microserver Gen8 for that. It's quite quiet, yet it delivers a reasonable amount of power and i/o throughput.

Ok, but this is our reality. Windows has been the dominant desktop OS since 1995 or so (and MS-DOS was the one from 1985 until 1995 or so, from the same company).

Thank you! At no point do I have to touch systemd, unless you want to change the default behavior of the docker daemon (which I dont).

You can simply apt-get install docker-compose. I am not familiar with other distributions. I suppose you could also pip install docker-compose as well.

Fortunately most of my systems remain in the default state. All the magic happens in docker/docker-compose.
To be fair even the less optimized areas of meshoptimizer are very low level code. Probably not much optimization to be done. I've seen this in other domains too, I have some graphics/art code that is very low level C#, and .NET 4.6 to the latest .NET Core, which has huge performance gains in normal enterprise code, does nothing for it. Which makes sense its all carefully thought out loops on arrays, not much to be done.

But that does bring up the point, would we be better served by just, writing lower level code when needed and turning off all these optimizations for faster compile times?

One thing that coronavirus has taught us is that the whole capitalist system depends on constant flow of rents, loan payments, bond payments, and so on and if that flow is interrupted, the whole system has a heart attack and panics. You can’t just pause capitalism, there are all kinds of contractual payments that have to be made. In that way it’s actually much less flexible than, say, a planned economy.

Of course 1U servers are the most extreme case. Having rackmount equipment at home is fine if you can put it out of the way and pay a bit of attention to what you buy - i.e. a 3U or 4U machine will usually have much more normal fans you can swap to quiet ones. Some people also swap fans on 1U switches.

This is an older picture of my 'Lack Rack' setup:

https://louwrentius.com/static/images/lackrack01.jpg

https://louwrentius.com/static/images/lackrack02.jpg

I recently discovered that a single Lack table is only rated for 20 Kg or so, which I'm violating quite a bit.

It's still standing ...

---------------------------------------------------------

Also about noise of 19" gear: yes this is a real problem, this is why I would recommend not to go for any 1u servers, as they use tiny fans (as mentioned in other threads here) and they are extremely loud and annoying.

I also have an HP DL380 Gen8 (2U server, not in the picture) and you need a special room for that with the door closed.

The large NAS server that is pictured is actually 4U and uses very large fans, that are temperature controlled. This box is very silent. This is a custom build not an off-the-shelf server.

https://github.com/louwrentius/storagefancontrol

There is a whole 'cottage industry' of people modding/hacking their COTS server (HP/Dell) to make them more silent, but that's another effort, so:

"bezint eer gij begint" (Dutch)

Or: really consider your options and consequences before buying a rack server...
I don't think you are being honest in intent.

Yes some towers are shared, but that would be irrelevant if the targets of vandalism weren't. No other carrier other than Jio and Reliance have made a large noise about damages to their infrastructure. This makes me believe that the other carriers were not affected.

In any case the farmer protests have distanced themselves from such acts of vandalism and openly criticized them.
The government really needs to start insourcing its IT. I worked briefly as a contractor, caught a glimpse of how the sausage was made, and left within a month or two. I’ll never do it again. I can’t imagine insourcing producing worse outcomes, and the end result would probably be less costly, even if it was still low quality.

If anyone remembers Dungeons of Daggorath for the TRS-80 Color Computer I think it was me if the most impressive maze games I ever played on an 80s PC. Some links below. The author released the original 6809 assembly language code and there have been some efforts to port (totally rewrite) it for modern systems, some starting links below, but pretty amazing for the 80s and I wasted a lot of time playing it, and it always amazed all my buddies with Atari 2600s or Apple IIs. Along with Dino Wars probably one of the most unique games ever released for the CoCo.

While I wouldn't choose to use particleboard for a piece of furniture myself (that's my inner woodworker rebelling at the thought), the bigger concern is how it's used. For the LACK side tables, the legs are attached with a single double-ended dowel stud that sits the middle of the leg. I suppose you could add some glue during assembly, but you're really just gluing exposed particleboard to a veneer, with very little--if any--added strength. It's truly ridiculous example of joinery, even by cheap knock-down furniture standards. Amusingly, the server mounts will do more to help stabilize the legs they're attached to.

You can also use threaded inserts epoxied when attaching the racks to the legs, which will have still have significant holding power in particleboard. Just make sure to use inserts with coarser threads (depending on where you buy them, they may be labeled as softwood inserts), which will have greater holding power in particleboard. Just remember to drill a very slightly oversized hole (both in terms of depth and diameter, so it's just a hair wider than the exterior threads so the epoxy can fully surround the insert) for your inserts.

To make install easier, cut a piece of tape around the end of the insert to keep the epoxy from covering the internal threads.[0] And if you have a file, file a groove vertically across the insert from the top to the bottom. The epoxy will get pushed up through those grooves, locking the insert down so it can't twist. Scrape off the squeeze-out, let the epoxy set, and you're good to go. There are also tapping inserts you can use without having to break out a file.[1]

Trauma causes your mind/body to bury its sensitive and vulnerable parts under a survival cocoon - metaphorically, a way of thinking that helps you cope.

Psychoactives like MDMA, LSD, psilocybin, ketamine, and others temporarily confuse and override your normal mode of thinking, revealing and releasing buried truths.

For me personally I was surprised that such strong emotions of love and empathy could even exist, and I vowed to tap into that channel which the drug unlocked after its effects had waned. I can still, years later, activate those emotions on command by consciously choosing to do so.

An interesting aside as a casual observer (thank you for all your work, I see you post here a lot) I found it very interesting that the new Rocky Linux project stood up Mattermost (chat.rockylinux.org) instead of Matrix. When I Google "Mattermost vs Matrix" (because I'll be honest, they seem the same to me as a casual) the insta-Google popup result/excerpt inline is this article:

https://www.troopmessenger.com/blogs/mattermost-vs-matrix

That's a year old, so Google isn't doing y'all a service by highlighting that as it's insta-hit, we need something updated out there for 2021 for Google to latch onto.

I've created a Mattermost account for Rocky stuff and honestly, as a casual I can't tell why I'd want one vs. the other, they seem pretty much the same to me (even the UI is kinda the same). Matrix touts a lot of extra privacy stuff I think, that's about it...

I’ve had to deal with a situation once where a user received spam containing links to CP via a major IRC network. Weeks of paperwork and trouble, caused by a few seconds of work for the spammer. Spammers abuse this imbalance of work to easily take down services, many of which won’t ever come back online (I certainly won’t ever host free IRC bouncers again, it’s definitely not worth it).

Ouch. But certainly true in this case.

There are several comments in this thread saying that this trend is specific to the US or specific to America interchangeably.
There aren't any silent server fans. They're small high speed ones (they have to be because of the height restriction) so there's no way you can put a large low speed fan in like you can with a desktop. Plus servers run hotter precisely because they can have loud fans with lots of airflow.
I'm not all that surprised by the small improvement on regular C++ code: the last decade hasn't seen radical changes in how this is done; compiler innovation has been elsewhere with only the SIMD story seen in this article. I was surprised by the lousy build times, though.

The choice of WSL2 as platform introduces a few confounders, especially filesystem performance, which might distort the differences between build times in particular. If someone wants to get a better understanding of what's going on, maybe a breakdown of where the time is spent or performing the benchmarks on other platforms would be a good idea.
"Abstract—Recently, high demand and limited scalability have
increased the average transaction times and fees in popular
cryptocurrencies, yielding an unsatisfactory experience. Here we
introduce Nano, a cryptocurrency with a novel block-lattice architecture where each account has its own blockchain, delivering
near instantaneous transaction speed and unlimited scalability.
Each user has their own blockchain, allowing them to update
it asynchronously to the rest of the network, resulting in fast
transactions with minimal overhead. Transactions keep track
of account balances rather than transaction amounts, allowing
aggressive database pruning without compromising security. To
date, the Nano network has processed 4.2 million transactions
with an unpruned ledger size of only 1.7GB. Nano’s feeless,
split-second transactions make it the premier cryptocurrency for
consumer transactions"
That is explicit. Now that I think about it, I should update the article with how I do it now.

I explicitly bind the external port only to the ZeroTier interface. In fact, my configs have changed a bit:

instead of:

ports:
- 5432:5432

I now use the IP of the zerotier interface:

ports:
- 192.168.111.123:5432:5432

Now the only way to reach that port is via the vpn.

Aren't Noctua fans quite large, like 12cm in diameter? In a 1U chassis, your fan can only be around 4cm in diameter, because they have to be mounted at the back. You can't mount them horizontally, because of course rack units are meant to be stacked close together.
