the only stuff that’s really on there is some music, photos, backups. If it gets lost, nothing important really is lost.
Photos are pretty important to a lot of people, I know that’s the most obvious thing on my server that people would miss and not be able to get anywhere else
I think it’s more something like if you don’t confront bigotry it’ll grow and eventually crush you.
You’re definitely correct on the 32-bit dynamic range side of things, as that’s more dynamic range than a human can perceive.
However I feel like I read a little while ago, that a standard record industry 15 IPS reel-to-reel master tape (on some high quality tape formulation, I imagine) sits somewhere between 96khz and 192khz equivalent sample rate. Though there is every chance it was from Reddit or something. Do you happen to know if that stacks up?
Apparently acetylsalicylic acid is the chemical name, I think I’ll stick with Aspirin
Well this is going to be an interesting rabbit hole…
In I go!
It’s partly your pallet will have matured, and partly they don’t stuff an additional two thousand calories of sugar into each box anymore

Magnets mostly messed with tapes, floppies and hard disks. I believe you could also mess up a CRT’s calibration with one.
None of those technologies are particularly commonplace these days, especially not in those glasses.
I mean an MRI level magnet could crush them, but you’re gonna struggle to move that around
Why is all you have posted just variations of this thread?
Why, it’s magnificent, that’s what the fuck it is
I think I saw a thing once where someone with ARFID would literally only eat undercooked looking french fries.
I can understand if the restriction is something unhealthy, and nothing stopping quantity, I can see this scenario happening
FWIW I think there’s still some merit in maglev vactrains that aren’t tied to someone who was only pushing it to get public infrastructure projects cancelled with the goal of selling more cars.
At least there are seemingly serious academics and engineers still researching and developing the concept anyway.
Well I’d lean on the shoulder of giants in terms of the actual service and not do it completely from scratch given we’ve got Facebook-likes in the fediverse, you could suggest to them. But basically yes from a network perspective unfortunately
Although you have given me an idea for an angle that the fediverse is perfect for: set up an instance for your local area
That allows you to also do the “screw untrustworthy big tech, keep things local with people you know” kind of angle.
Also obviously a fair bit of work, and you still have to ultimately convince people to use it, but worth highlighting regardless.
You unfortunately are coming at the problem from the wrong direction.
The only social network they will want to use is the one with all their friends on it; and for the older generations, that’s basically just Facebook.
In order to get them to move you’d need to get their friends to move, and in order to get their friends to move, you’ll need to get their friends to also move. It’s called the network effect and it’s why it’s incredibly hard for any non-established social networks to gain much of a market share.
Your best bet (which is by no means a guarantee) is to wait for the latest Facebook scandal to be in the news, and chat to them about it whilst they’re watching it on TV. Plus add a bit more fuel by doing the ol’ “oh this reminds me of something else I was reading a couple of months ago…” And have some other recent scandals in your back pocket to fire out. Bonus points if you can already establish yourself on something like Friendica, which will allow you to say “yeah I quit Facebook a while ago, the company running it just seems skeevy, I’ve been using friendica instead for a bit now” or something like that
Then you have to hope that registers enough as a talking point amongst them and their friends that it sticks. But you have an uphill struggle ahead with no certainty of success.
By asking if it’s political, you’ve made it political
Well done
Honestly I’ve never wrapped my head around these “food is only fuel” people
Like, the point of life is to enjoy it, why would you actively avoid one of life’s simplest pleasures if it’s not actually harmful? Season your food idiot
Isn’t this meme the wrong way round?
Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character is the charlatan in the film
I was gonna say it was whisky in my house
My Scottish father being completely unrelated to the matter
PIF same as everything else
Huh, typically you’d set an instance to scale out, not in when CPU usage spikes
