  Looks to be region specific and occurs on specific controllers under heavy writes (50gb+). Symptoms clear after a reboot.

  I see this when behind decent NAT like an employers office.

  Did I stutter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could I just create my own drive format?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Look up reiserfs.

  You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the best material for wiping out a cast iron skillet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern soaps lack the phosphates that really mess with cast iron. I typically do this.

  Little bit of water, heat on high until it boils most things off the pan.

  Scrape with metal spatula and stick items.

  Hit it lightly with soap and sponge.

  Dry with paper towel.

  Spray with oil.

  Wipe oil all sides.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Smb3.

  HL2.

  Team Fortress Classic.

  Falcon 4.0 gets my respect for forcing me into advanced computer tinkering and sending me into my career eventually.

  Brah, other OS’s are full of holes too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Home hvac units don’t let in fresh air all of the time, they recycle air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Friend of a friend used dating apps to find places to sleep while traveling, and couch surfing apps to find hookups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, heat pumps use a lot of energy when running. They are the most efficient way to cool your home though.

  Only an electric water heater or clothes dryer compares to the amount of electricity they use.

  You can improve your homes insulation or set your thermostat higher if you want to reduce the amount used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Silica is expected to survive for thousands of years in nearly any temperature, humidity, and chemical environment

  Thousands of years is very different than 1 million years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even things that seem like they won’t ever change don’t last. Erosion, tectonic plate movement, natural decay of atoms.

  Even giant letters written inside of a mountain won’t last.

  Best you can do is create a simple structure that takes intelligence to create with the only purpose being to show that you once existed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are the research projects for long-term storage already deployed?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There nothing that can stick around 1 million years.

  The 3rd installment of the 3 body problem touches on this subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who have been in meetings to determine back to in office policy. What was the discussion like?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • finding and hiring staff will be harder
  • attracting top tier talent will be harder
  • rent will be more expensive
  • childcare will require more sick leave
  • illness will require more sick leave
  • expanding to new territories will be harder

  The c-suite evaluated the cost of rent pretty good and had an existing problem of not being able to hire above average younger talent because the work they were doing was pretty boring. Advertising a good hybrid wfh policy (once a week or once a month in-office depending on different factors) has brought in good people.

  Basically, they saw that it was bringing in cash.

  The biggest challenge has been getting new hires integrated well with existing team leaders.

  There’s also team leaders that refuse to use Teams/zoom, but also don’t answer their phone. In the past you could corner them in their office but now they sort of anchor their team. It’s mostly self-repairing as they stagnate and other teams flourish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No.

  I’m watching Jean Claude Van Damme’s filmography right now. He’s a trained fighter. He was taught to act, but was never really good at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t answer calls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you trust your firewall, it’s less of a worry than exposing your license plate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s already shorthand, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s easier to move it from the driveway to the front yard instead of the back yard.

  Think Covid but with purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on how many humans die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of it more like a tax refund.
