Anyone know a good mouse with a lot of side buttons, that isn't an MMO style?
  • I'm still using an old Corsair m95. All of the new MMO mice seen to be geared toward that ugly grid. I've looked at replacing it a few times, but can't find much that really meets the mark. Some honourable mentions from me would be the EVGA x15 and the Razer Naga hex ( at least I think that's the name).

  • Why is ocean fertilization not taken more seriously as a climate change solution?
  • Depends on if those companies invest in renewables or not. Optimistically, they will need to pivot in the next 60 years or so. I expect that the military need for oil won't go anywhere anytime soon, but there is regulation coming into play to limit automotive oil reliance. Maybe not in the US, but elsewhere.

  • VMWare FUD. Anyone moving away from it professionally?
  • It's really difficult to move away from a backup software you just switched to and paid > 100k to license for the next 3 years from a leadership standpoint haha. PBS, zfs snapshots and send, Ceph duplication. It all does more or less the same thing.

  • VMWare FUD. Anyone moving away from it professionally?
  • I have experience with Azure IaaS, but am certainly no expert. Managed like 5 VMs max. Great with PowerShell. Wrote a script for all of our on prem servers backed up to blob storage to recover to Azure in case of natural disaster. Fun project.

  • VMWare FUD. Anyone moving away from it professionally?

    I've been seeing a lot of doom and gloom about VMware. The cutting of services and licensing changes of the cost of core offerings are huge issues. Is anyone planning or budgeting to change to another hypervisor? If so what?

    Lemmy Support @lemmy.ml Mautobu @lemmy.world
    Questions about hosting for just myself and friends.

    I'm just trying to gauge if the performance gain will be worth the additional effort and have some questions. Was directed here from asklemmy.

    I've read that back end communication is relatively cheap compared to end user content presentation in Lemmy. So, that leads me to believe that if I host my own instance, even without any communities, it would present content from other instances to me faster and more reliably. Are these assumptions correct?

    Does an instance do any content caching for other instances? Ie, if I browse asklemmy@lemmy.ml and someone else does the same, will my instance need to make new requests to lemmy.ml?

    Are images caches from other instances?

    Obviously if my instance goes down, there's no service. Is there some sort of high availability or clustering supported?

    Are updates relatively straightforward on Docker? I assume just pull the new image and you're good to go, or are there usually database migrations to complete outside of that?

    Thanks for reading!

    Happy to see this sub on Lemmy.

    I unsubbed when musk took control of twitter. There was just too much content with that prick featured. I'm incredibly happy to see this community has migrated and I look forward to all the lulz. Fuck that guy.
