Don’t threaten me with a good time
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.
This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it’s just big boxes around a giant parking lot.
“In a frictionless vacuum”
If you think this is sad you should hear what happened to Sojourner, our first Mars rover. If it lost contact with the base station it was programmed to drive around to hopefully get line of sight so it can keep doing science.
However, the base station - Mars Pathfinder - failed first. Scientists didn’t know what happened to them until the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter got detailed shots of the landing site. There were far, far more tracks from Sojourner than expected.
So this poor little robot was driving around and around, trying to get back in contact with NASA because it had more science for us, until it too died.
Ruby is just happy to be included
No that’s WFH jobs
That kinda makes sense. Putting all the partition sectors together would probably make it easier to resize. But as standard maintenance it’s like changing the oil on an electric car.
Most modern OSeses do defragmentation on the fly and you don’t really need to do it anymore.
Which makes me sad because I have so many memories of watching a disk defragmenter do its thing from my childhood.
I wouldn’t trust it unless I wrote it myself. And even then maybe not.
Pro tip: Defragmenting only works on spinning drives because it puts the data nearer to the spindle so seek times are shorter. Solid-state drives wear out faster if you defragment them, since every write involves a little bit of damage.
And what happens when DNS inevitably falls over and I need to fix it?
And when I’m watching IP addresses scroll by, IPv6 ones are a lot harder to read than v4
“IP address are four sets of numbers with dots in between AND THAT’S HOW I LIKES IT!” - Me, an old network guy
Honestly the fact that I can’t remember or type IPv6 addresses is a big reason I haven’t bothered figuring it out.
Like that time in Ireland when the banks closed to protest a law and life went on just fine without them.
It’s not messy, it’s holistic storage
The only real difference is for below age 24. Then its pretty much the same if not less prevalent for autists.
By 24 we learn that people find it weird and stop doing it
My plan is to use concentrated sunlight to tunnel directly through an asteroid and use the material to build a small O’Neill cylinder inside. The rest of the rock would provide radiation shielding so the cylinder would be cheaper to construct, and we can send sunlight into the cylinder from either end using the same mirrors we carved the asteroid with.
It would be dumb unless we leave earth and turn it into a nature preserve
Does it make a Star Trek communicator sound when it opens? Because doing it myself is inconvenient.
