I’ve been eyeing FastMail.

Self hosting is almost impossible with email these days. Places like Gmail and Outlook are going to consider you automatically suspicious until you’ve proven otherwise. Can’t prove otherwise until you have a lot of legit email going through. The only way to do that is to attach the domain to a service that’s already proven.

This isn’t even getting into the configuration issues of running an email server without it becoming a spam relay as soon as it’s turned on.

Thank you for your service.

That’s correct.

Eh, there’s only one in all of Star Trek, and they forgot about it after one episode. Should have a whole series.

I knew playing Burnout would have real life applications.

A few actual problems:

• Because they don’t provide any breaks in traffic, high flow times can make it difficult for people living downstream to get out of their driveway
• People with eyesight disabilities can have problems navigating them. Advocacy organizations would like them to use stop signs rather than yield signs, but this reduces the throughput of the roundabout.

Even for a large amount of RAM that you’d find in a big server, it’s a few dozen watts at most. Here’s some charts showing the jump from DDR3 to DDR4 on a 16GB stick:

DDR5 dropped the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V compared to DDR4, which tends to make it even more power efficient. Not quite as dramatic as DDR3 to 4, but in any case, it’s better still.

I recently saw an infographic that showed the risk of death for getting out of bed at 90 years old is the same as the risk of hang gliding. To me, this means you should take up hang gliding when you’re 90.

More seriously, you should take risks to have a full and rewarding life. Those risks can be mitigated. I’ve ridden motorcycles, but I also wear a helmet and safety gear while doing it.

We should stage a conquest of bread.

But did their hallucinating oracles require so much power that they talked about bringing nuclear reactors online just to run them?

Hitachi, man. Do you need an air conditioner? A hydrolic excavator? A pussy diddler? A 120mm self propelled mortar? If all of the above, they’re the company for you.

Computer Shopper was the shit back in the day. Imagine Newegg’s listings of computer hardware bound up every month into a catalog.

You laugh, but there are some OLEDs out there that can do it. Not scaled down to phone size yet, though.

Accelerationism refers to the idea of intentionally making capitalism the worst version of itself so that people have to revolt. It doesn’t work; it makes everything worse without accomplishing the end goal. Generally, the people making these arguments aren’t coming right out and saying they’re accelerationists, but they get there indirectly.

People won’t bring the revolution just because things are bad. You need class consciousness first.

Damn DEI.

If we were freed from the needs of a specific schedule, we would take this as signals of when your body wants to wake up and follow a polyphasic sleep schedule. If you’re waking up at 3AM all the time, that’s a signal your body wants to get up. If you’re comfortable sleeping at 7AM, that’s a signal that your body wants to sleep. So you would wake up at 3AM and do something for a few hours, then go back to sleep. Overall sleep time ends up the same, though there are some polyphasic schedules out there where you can theoretically sleep as little as 2 hours a day. They are extremely regimented on the schedule.

But good luck doing any of that while having a regular job.

You know the whole “you have mettled, Mr Beele” speech in Network? The one where the business guy lays out a capitalist cosmology, and is willing to lose money on spreading the word of that cosmology? Turns out, it’s close to the truth of these guys.

This is information I will use.

That can be an advantage. Some of the enterprise-level tech has trickled down to consumer WiFi in recent years, which includes browsing between multiple access points. With several access points with relatively weak signal, you get signal right where you need it without broadcasting up and down the street.

Dude, this is standard framing that’s been done for ages and is in tons of houses in the US. It works, and it’s mandated by code for a reason.
