The Tenacious D guy? What did he say in Australia?
I can't wait for the employee churn to start bringing some of this knowledge to other companies. I love what SpaceX is doing, but we need to foster other options.
What's the battery life like? Without actually doing much research, I always lent towards dedicated eReaders. I just assumed that a tailor made, super simple OS would save a lot of needless processing, therefore power.
I charge my Kindle about once a month, I guess.
I apologise for my attempt at a light-hearted joke, I didn't mean to cause offence. Although I was, and remain, legitimately confused as to which camp you are in.
I'll willingly admit I have minimal knowledge about football sports, but I always thought that broadly speaking American football was inspired by rugby, which essentially evolved from people cheating at soccer at a place called Rugby- I remember reading the little blue plaque there.
As for a ball, sure, if you're about slang and the elasticity of the English language, a ball can be any shape really. But, pushes up glasses acksually, the word ball means a sphere.
I'm not sure if I understand which version you'd prefer- Do you want football to refer to the game where players use their hands to move an egg shaped object, or do you think football should refer to the game where players use their feet to move a ball shaped object?
It's easier and cheaper to make wood than aluminium or steel. If it holds up, it would be a win.
I imagine there's all sorts of issues to iron out... The wood would have to be super dry, for example. Freeze thaw cycles in space are constant and extreme.
I don't think it's the first time wood has been used in spacecraft- I vaguely remember oak heatshields being a thing.
Thanks for an honest and informative reply.
I guess I'm lucky in that I'm not particularly tied down anywhere. If I found myself in that situation, I'd just leave. A visa to a more developed, civilised country like Thailand or Chile isn't that hard to get, right?
Or is leaving equivalent to 'letting them win'?
Jesus fucking Christ... Is this the reality people in the US are living? I can't comprehend the environment that would lead to someone giving this advice.
They're lithium ion. It's probably got more to do with good hardware design.
Thanks for the context. Is that really what the meme is referencing? People need to realise that different things can have the same name. Should they change any Mario marketing that references cooking because of this? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/10/dining/mario-batali-not-guilty-sexual-misconduct-trial.html
This is one of the arguments I have around the decision to not have children of my own. The world is pretty fucked, do I really want to create someone who will not only have to endure the shit to come, but also will undoubtedly add to that shit?
The counter argument, of course, is to raise the child in such a way that they make the world a better place. Ultimately, though, the problem is too many humans- why add to that?
Being an uncle is great. You get all the fun of kids, and can give the bloody things back when they start screaming and shitting everywhere.
I'm a similar age, and similar point in life. I like kids, but I really don't want to have any of my own. I really enjoy being an uncle to many children, though- not related, just made it clear to my friends that I would love to keep my connection with them, and build a connection with their child.
People don't want to impose their child on others, but if you have a genuine conversation with them about being ok with kids, you'll get to see your friends more often, and if you're into it, they'll fucking live and appreciate the free babysitting.
I'm still not sure I understand. You're saying because one guy is a bit of a dick, we shouldn't put anything in space?
People are going to whine about the towing capacity, but can't beat that price. I'm wary of being an early adopter, but I'm thinking of taking one for a test drive. Lightweight camper on the back, induction stove on board, should be tidy.
Pity it's such a big vehicle, I'm not a fan of the chunky ute trend.
The possibilities for naming their distro are endless...
Vague title I know, but I'm enough of a beginner at this to not really know what I need to ask!
I would like to rent a server, that allows me to spin up different services, including things like Windows to use as a remote desktop. Ideally, I would then be able to just migrate this whole setup to my home server.
I thought it would be as easy as renting a scalable VPS, but apparently if you run something like Proxmox on those, you'll get terrible performance?
My understanding is that I'd need to rent a bare metal server, but then my 'scalability' will suffer- I can't just wind up and down the specs as needed, correct?
My user case: For the next several months, I'm on the road, without a proper computer. I may have some work doing some CAD drafting, hence Windows. I'd also like to have some containers to run some dev tools, databases, web hosting. I'd also like to use the same service to start building my future home server environment- nextcloud, *arr, etc. Once I'm back home, I'd like to easily migrate this setup to a local machine, then continue to use the server as my own cloud and public entry point. And further down the line, hosting a gaming server for friends. In terms of location, Sydney would be great.
Will a VPS do this? Or do I need bare metal? Is there a single service that will allow me to do both, with one billing? Or am I doing a Dunning-Kruger?
Thanks in advance for your hints.
I'm looking at a permanent install of a Windows machine that runs a few digital signs. I want to achieve remote access and file upload to the Windows box, as well as accessing the internal web server of the displays on the same LAN. This LAN will be attached to a corporate network, but I would prefer if it did not have access to the internet. I'll have to work with the IT department to get this happening, of course, but I'm hoping to go in prepped with potential solutions. Could anyone tell me if these ideas will work, or what I'm missing?
- VPN tunnel. This would be whichever VPN that their IT supports. Would I be able to simply install the client on the windows box and my machine, and then on my machine connect to the VPN, use TeamViewer in LAN mode for control of the Windows box, and web browser for control of displays? I'm assuming their IT would set up the upstream switch to only pass that VPN connection, so that the Windows box does not see the internet, and I cannot see their internal network.
- Some kind of IPMI/PiKVM solution- This would be a second computer, attached to the corporate network, but not to the signage LAN. It would just be a KVM for the Windows box. I would then dial into that via its webserver, and control the Windows machine. The control for the displays would be accessed via browser on the Windows machine. I like this solution, as it keeps the networks separate, but I think that uploading files will be a challenge.
- Or is there a better way?
