Why are you trying to gatekeep what is or is not a homelab. Just because it isn't sufficiently complex doesn't mean it doesn't fit the definition.

>we can obliterate language we can obliterate an idea.

This is effectively one of the tenets of postmodernist thought. That language shapes reality. There is truth in the idea that language can influence perception but that doesn't mean that negative ideas can be eliminated by merely controlling language...
Guess what: being helicoptered/snowplowed/playe-dated through your entire childhood is what causes this - you have to build experience on your own and risking failure to ever learn on to make friends. When you are sheltered from taking risks or doing things on our own, this is what happens!!

I've seen this with employees as well - they can't do the more basic tasks like calling a customer or "playing nice" with other employees as a team.
The NLAW has a single warhead, while the Javelin and Stugna have a tandem warhead designed to deactivate ERA first.

Who knows how it works in practice.

NLAW - 40k
Javelin - 80k missile + 140k launcher
Stugna - 20k missile
This is true of almost the entirety of the US.

First Sale doctrine - you needn't pay any licensing fees to rent out a purchased disc. Practically speaking, Blockbuster that was did have special arrangements with the studios, but this paved the way for Netflix to rent out DVDs with little barrier to entry.

Given. But I don’t think that’s where normal car radars are pointed and as far as I know no one has an aim-able radar in a car. They all point to look for a car dead ahead on the road. Not an ultra-low bridge (or landed jet).
Thanks! Also surprising that archive.org only caught the post-pg era. I was curious how the guidelines evolved afterwards. There have been a few great additions.

I have and literally everything they've said is extremely accurate to my experience and those that I've talked to.

Moving to a rural area is very much greener grass syndrome. Once you have to deal with the meth heads and associated issues with rural communities (low education, low opportunity, etc.) you will move the fuck out.

Obviously if you don't plan to have children and live a semi-hermit lifestyle then whatever.
For one it's piracy, not theft. They are both legally and morally distinct. You're being deprived of a potential future profit rather than having a direct loss.

> When you decide that the exact moral high point is to consume the goods and services while still maintaining integrity about not providing the cash value asked of those things, you are justifying being a [pirate].

Correct, it is justifying being a pirate. The justification being exactly what you suggested: voting with my wallet. I want to watch a certain piece of entertainment, but it's producer has made it unreasonably unobtainable thus pirating it signals that it is both desired and that a sale was lost.

I think you're being angry about the wrong thing here. Consumers don't want to pirate; they are pushed to piracy by shit service. That's not a fault of the consumers, that's a fault of the seller. If you actually want to reduce piracy you should be advocating for better service rather than telling people they're stealing from you.

Javelin and NLaw can go up to around 5km, can't they?
Further down in The Fine Article, it is explained that the javelin is frequently used against pickup trucks and other low value targets.
That’s what Apple explicitly says. Why they don’t match with measurements is another matter… (and no, it’s not a typo)

ECC? Needs hugepages? Or hardware erratum? I don’t know for sure.

Also, at least from the VM perspective icache is reported as PIPT, which is not too surprising but still worth noting.
I grew up rural. I regularly visit home once or twice a year. He’s not wrong.

My friends growing up were pretty much the exceptions. We moved out, got advanced degrees, and almost all of live in major metro areas. The two that don’t, live in college towns, which are they’re own thing.

The main economic driver, the coal mines, all closed, and pretty much everyone with half a brain moved away. Those that are left… well, they’re stereotypes.

Last time my friends an I got together back where we grew up, we talked about it. The place has changed, and not for the best. As one friend put it, “It’s gotten more churchy, and not in a good way.” It’s meth labs, gun stores, video slots, end times evangelical churches, and militias.

Now you can make your own community anywhere you are, but it’s harder in rural areas. A lot harder. There’s just fewer people, less opportunities, and less appeal for the right kind of weirdos.
> As you know, trying out new things on production equipment never ends well.

That is not my experience. Most of the time it works just fine if researched well in advance.

The problem is just the impact for the few times it does not go well. That's why you have test environments. And test groups in production for the first rollout.

My home lab is more to try out the benefits of different options, especially as I work for a huge multinational. Admin rights are split among different teams and sometimes the others don't understand what I need. It's really helpful to have full access to my own lab so I can show them what I need from them and why it works best a certain way. Without access that's hard to figure out.

> Rural productivity is vital to urban concentration. Raw material does not come from the depths of the subway system, nor do the land and seaports magically produce goods. Food, fiber, fuel, etc come from the rural reaches.

We pay a premium to buy food from the rural US in the form of common import tariffs that stifle or eliminate competition at the expense of the consumer and to the benefit of agricultural interests, and of course, taxes that subsidize agriculture. Large volumes of food need to come from some rural area, but if left to its own devices, the market would never demand that so much of it come from the rural US, or that the rural US make so much from the crops it produces. That's presumably some of what the OP was hinting at.
For better or worse, half way through realizing it was stupid, I've bought myself a massive collection that I don't "own" on iTunes. Technically, it is tied to my Apple account, but there isn't a way to transfer ownership, or etc outside of Apple even for e.g.if I die.

I think though there will be some laws passed hopefully that will allow us to own digital content outright in the near future, hopefully in a decentralized way.
The article goes on to describe situations in Iraq where the US was firing them at pickup trucks.

quite annoying waste of power
> Subsidizing agriculture isn’t a “rural” subsidy, it’s a “population” subsidy.

It's both, actually. Just like if the government started paying for free, say, cloud storage, regardless of where anyone lives, that'd be a population subsidy on the consumer side, and an area/industry-specific subsidy on the producer side.

> Cities literally can’t sustain themselves without outside inputs - food, building materials, energy, etc.

Irrelevant. People need transportation, too, but if the government starts buying people bikes and cars, that's a subsidy.

Note that nobody's calling for the federal government to spend zero money in rural areas, when they talk about subsidies, they usually mean spending a disproportionate amount of money there. What "disproportionate" means is itself a question -- I think the most logical definition is "gets more federal $ in spending than they send to DC in tax revenue" but you could argue otherwise.

It's a perverted version of Pascal's wager, the "You lose nothing by pretend-believing" argument of theologians, but reinvented for an age where social mobs are the new wrathful God. If you stick your neck out and refuse the newspeak, you present a target for Them, you're essentially betting they're too weak to do anything to you, a bet you could either win or lose. But if you comply, then you're safe no matter what the actual influnce The Mob has. The Nash equilibrium is always choosing "COMPLY".

The classic mistake that Pascal and everyone using his argument to argue for their favorite God lies in the simplifying assumption :

- Compliance is cheap, low-risk and fixed-cost relative to taking a stand

Which gets less and less true as the Wrathful God (or His spokespeople) sees you're completely submitting and realizes they can continue making more and more increasingly humiliating demands. Soon enough, you discover you wish you had drawn the red line earlier.
You need to make sure as much of the supply chain is domestically producible as possible. A cheap system that relies on China (or international shipping in general) aren't what the military wants.
Hunter, sure. But there's no real evidence that Sleepy Joe had any involvement whatsoever with whatever foolish stuff (if any) Hunter may have been up to.
Ukraine's domestically manufactured Stugna-P has longer range, remote controls, and is only $20,000 per missile.

Wikipedia cites unit costs of Javelin closer to $200,000 than $80,000.

Longer range + tripod + remote control seems safer for operators.
The Javelin might be second to Stugna-P.

I never spent much time with networking so a lot of it was a bit of a mystery to me so I spent the COVID time building out really awesome but overly built network.

I learned a ton and can now actually understand what's going on under the hood!

Since then though I definitely have simplified it a lot because it was a lot to manage but it was an excellent learning experience.

This is my long winded way of saying, network engineers don't get enough praise - that shit is actually really damn difficult to get right at scale!

This is it for me. Maybe they have decent content but I can’t seem to find it easily anymore. Netflix was a necessity once upon a time, but now I am on the edge of canceling.
A Javelin costs around $178K ($78K for replacement missiles only). The NLAW costs around $35K/ea. The NLAW weighs 12.5 kg. The Javelin weighs 22.3 kg.

So even if we agree a Javelin is technically superior, is it 2x an NLAW in weight or 5x NLAW in cost superior?

Plus the NLAW is easier to use, almost turn-key, and typically can be deployed by one soldier instead of two.

Sometimes good enough is good enough, and that feels like it applies here. If I was in charge of ordering, I'd definitely take a handful of NLAWs over a single Javelin because my assumption is many won't be in the right place at the right time or will be damaged/lost before utilized.

The reality is that a mix of both is great, in particular if they're free. Javelins are great weapon systems at medium range.
That's actually pretty cheap considering everything. Teenage Engineering sells a version with better UX that costs 5 times as much.
So Urbit's Layer 2 solution is a Rollup, but not an Optimistic (fraud proof) or ZK (validity proof) Rollup, but their own homespun form of Rollup that they call a Naive Rollup.

It's described here:

https://18108973658826589741.googlegroups.com/attach/31d6ad2...

It appears to use Ethereum L1 solely for data availability and sorting, while the computation
that ensures validity is performed inside Urbit instances. I haven't thought through the security implications of this yet.

I believe the implication is that you need to run a full Naive Rollup node, that validates all Urbit transactions, in order to ensure the validity of any given transaction.
I would classify them by how long they take to breakdown naturally… this could be a way to rally efforts around the biggest problems.
> It's also a red flag to apply to all the Ivies.

I don't think this is necessarily correct; or, at least, your justification seems incomplete.

Of course if someone could choose between all the Ivies, there would be a single school that best suits them and should be chosen. However, there are certain applicant profiles where the acceptance variance is so high that it becomes completely rational to apply to all Ivies (or at least most of them). Anectodally, the cultured between the Ivies is homogenizing anyway and most students who actually attend have also applied to the other Ivies.
I view those as separate things.

I have a home ESXi server which I use to host all my own stuff. I don't consider that a lab as such. It's just my home production infrastructure.

And then I have another ESXi which hosts the stuff I'm testing for work, and only work.

In my work home lab I have full access which I don't do even in the testing environment at work due to fragmentation of responsibilities. Or if I do I step on people's toes when trying stuff out that belongs to their realm. Most things are interconnected so testing something at work usually gets slowed down by the need to involve other people who don't always have time or interest. That's where my own lab comes in.

It's also a lot faster due to not needing VPN and having to deal with servers halfway across the world. And not having to deal with the evil SSL-MITM Internet proxy at work saves me SO much time.. Of course that work needs to be done to put it in production but a lot of stuff never makes it to that stage and then figuring how to smooth things with the proxy is just wasted effort.
> People thought the Simpsons was vulgar, they thought Elvis dancing was vulgar, they thought girls dancing to jazz in the flapper era was vulgar, thought that women exposing any skin beyond their hands and face was vulgar

I think the difference here is that it's easy to imagine what is more vulgar than The Simpsons, or more vulgar than Elvis dancing.

I'm struggling to come up with what is more vulgar than some of the stuff that is produced for the mainstream today, without being just pornography.
They are very different types of weapons. The NLAW's range is inferior at a basic level and the missile itself does not actually track the target making shots out to the edge of it's theoretical range very difficult, unlike the Javelin. While both Javelin and NLAW are top attack munitions, their flight trajectories are very different. The NLAW flies more or less in a line from launch to directly above the target and then detonates its shaped charge warhead which shoots down as the missile flies over (i.e it explodes down, not forward). Its flight trajectory is more vulnerable to active protection systems compared to the Javelin's true top attack mode (but that's not an issue against Russians). The warhead is also smaller and less effective. The NLAW is a great weapon but its constraints are apparent in many cases.
I think the “typical” target in recent American wars is a twenty year old Toyota pickup with a machine gun bolted to the bed. In that case, the Javelin is at least 10x more expensive.

We have never lived in a gun free U.S. and realistically never will, regardless of legislation. It's the same idea as the war on drugs - you can make things illegal, you can violate the 4th amendment and make all manner of methods to search, seize, and charge for it. You can make swat drug task forces that bust down doors, shoot first, ask questions later. Yet if I want a dime it can be conveniently delivered at an affordable price any time.

This is the same story as prohibition. You can criminalize, poison people, and shoot as much as you want, at the end of the day the geography of the U.S. makes it dumb easy to transport and sell anything.

Legal ownership of concealable weapons and automatic firearms is already difficult in a number of states, especially cities with high gun violence.

As an individual I have to have the right to protect myself from that harm. Firearms are designed to be equitable protection, it doesn't matter that I'm not 6'5 and a not body builder. I can defend myself just as effectively, especially when criminals aren't playing by the rules and already have firearms anyways.
Canaanites are the earliest written group I know of, mentioned in the bible, to include same sex marriages.
This is true, there is a lot of (original, and other) content that you just can't find anymore because they only show the newest, and dumb stuff now.
The nlaw was already obsolete 40 years ago. Every tank has explosive reactive armor and the nlaw is a single warhead projectile. It's useful against trucks and ifvs but against even a tank from the 80s its basically useless.
The folks involved in these activities are often dealing in other banned substances, so it's not obvious that banning actually reduces.

"but guns are different than drugs". Yes, guns are durable. I don't know how long cocaine lasts, but 100 year-old cartridges are perfectly good.

Even if you assume one gun per murder, the required volume is a small fraction of drug smuggling.

Oh, and guns are actually easy to make. They're 19th century tech.
I disagree.

It’s been years since I messed with “physical” networking stuff, but it wasn’t complicated. Complex, yes, but not complicated.

If you’re a “complete noob” and want to level up this skill, then learning what all the equipment listed does, why you’d want it, and how to configure it is an excellent way to go about it.
Available calories went way up (and so did disposable income):

Of course availability is not a perfect proxy for consumption, but they are probably somewhat related.

You mean like in Japan...
Seems like there's a place for both.

Javelins can be fired from inside a building, which'll be nice in close urban quarters.
Tanks are not the most frequent targets, though. Trucks and jeeps were the most common targets in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Apparently a man-potable javalin's range is a 2.5K. The thing I think about is that the amount of of area one has to secure around their tanks using infantry/drones/whatever. The area increases with the square of the counter weapon's distance.
The Information had an excellent article a few years back about the conflict between the Enterprise sales people and those responsible for the community. The latter won and it was the right business decision.

I explicitly said in my initial comment that the slogan "They hate us for our freedom" applies to any fanatic of any religion.

Most of the things you're talking about have never been measured for 99% of nets. I'm often building the board to make the measurement. So I kind of don't have that input for the auto-layout widget, even if I had the time to set it up.

Honestly, one of the biggest reasons autorouters aren't used is they take as long to set up as just routing it yourself, and the result is usually inferior. So setup time is crucial.

This approach also wouldn't help one bit with making changes if input data can get stale. And it can and will if system-level measurements are involved. Honestly, making changes to a known-good layout is actually really easy. It's greenfield layouts that are hard, or underdocumented ones, or designs previously done by psychotic morons (like past me!).

"Circuit design as code" is an idea that just doesn't work at the system level. We can't even write documentation for many systems. Expressing things precisely enough for a machine to repeat it is folly.
There probably are opportunities for savings, but there are also significantly higher development costs than your random shitty piece of consumer tech. Low volume, life critical, has to survive harsh environments and have a minimal failure rate, has to go through many rounds of design specification and verification, has to be backwards compatible a long way... etc.

This isn't a fragile laptop you can sell a hundred million copies of.
Yeah, it's cheap and the hardware is still enterprise level hardware so it's more than capable of handling personal lab workloads (esxi and proxmox still fully support my hardware) and it's been very valuable for me to learn how to stand up and manage similar environments, which is not something I usually would be expected to do in my profession, but has been great for supplemental skills in my career.
