I’m not actually sure because I haven’t measured it. But I’ve read that while CPU and memory overhead is small, disk IO is much faster without virtualization.

Sell the expensive minisforum pc, buy 3 used laptops, use github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template
Done! Full GitOps bare metal Talos kubernetes cluster that runs your workloads so much faster than any VM.
A few months later, you can have this:
Automated encrypted backups that automatically populate your volumes when you completely reset the entire cluster.
Rook-ceph shared storage.
Auth stack + Anubis botblocker to protect public-facing endpoints.
I guess I should start a blog.

You’re both right: one doesn’t exclude the other.
- Yes we need to be more careful about privacy and who we trust with our data
- Yes we need to protest and take a stand against fascism

It’s incredibly small. Highly developed urban areas, great cycling infrastructure, better trains than Germany, mild climate year-round, some parks and the rest of the country houses the highest concentrations of cows, pigs and chickens.
Housing prices are even worse than the rest of Europe, income tax is high, cost of living is high, but still worth it for many people due to good work-life balance, child-focused education, good infrastructure, mild climate and basically almost Scandinavian culture, but with more sunlight.
We can be quite closed off and hard to get in touch with, and even rude if you’re used to the US or UK. I usually tell Anglo-Saxons that we may seem autistic compared to their social norms.

Obviously random is better, but uniqueness of passwords is IMO even more important. They are effectively spreading around their master password
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
There’s literally only 4 characters difference between all their passwords, even if those would be completely random, that’s very bad.
They don’t seem to understand that it’s not about how many samples you need to see to be sure what their Amazon password is. The problem is that if one of their passwords ever leaks, some bot can brute-force try thousands of variations on it and find any other password very quickly (they effectively only have to guess 4 characters, plus a bit to find that it’s the first 4 to change).
How can anyone think this is more secure than having completely different and long passwords for every site?
They probably don’t understand that your pw manager’s password is safer because you don’t enter it anywhere, only into your password manager (ideally with 2FA). This person is effectively spreading their master password around by putting it as the core of ALL their passwords, significantly increasing the risk that it leaks.

It is.
It’s also sad that chickens, fishes and shrimps don’t look as cute and aren’t mourned even though they suffer all the same. They usually don’t even get a plural form.

The “Peter” bit reminded me: Years back, there was a viral trend on Dutch socials where women shared a hashtag “I am Peter” to raise awareness that there were more people named Peter in Boards of Directors than women.

Ehh
- They tend to get the sign wrong, or straight up not know it and end every sentence with "or the other way around"
- their room is a mess
- they have a soldering iron and a box full of Arduinos/Rasberry Pis/ESPs
- they have weird hobbys, (or none, because their work is sufficiently shaped like weird hobbys/obsessions)
- they regularly say “local minimum” and “higher order effects”
What did I forget?

In the long run? The colony that avoids open conflict unless it’s absolutely necessary to spare lives and energy. Guessing that’s how these two ended up like this.

Note that everything in this graph is extinct, except the 2 circled subfamilies at the bottom.

It was freely chosen for simplicity.
If you choose another R, the other sides (x and y) become Rcos(th) and Rsin(th)
I don’t understand what is harmful about the unity circle either.
- Comment on Temperatures 9 months ago:
This has me confused.
Temperature can be used to refer to how fast the atoms are jiggling (kinetic or phonon temperature) or to how messy, disordered (opposite of ordered) a system is.
Time dilation is a relativistic effect where time appears to go slower when you are looking at something that has a very high speed (near light speed) compared to you (relative velocity). Can also happen with mass because gravity is acceleration, thus related to velocity.
If the atoms are jiggling slower, relative velocities only shrink, so you’d expect to see less relativistic effect. I am not aware of any relativistic effects due to thermal motion in normal conditions (room temp, atmospheric pressure), so I don’t know how they’d appear when relative velocities only decrease.
I am really interested where you got this temperature - time dilation link from. Can’t seem to crack it.
- Comment on Jet Fuel 11 months ago:
Thank you for answering.
I am not sure where to start, but let’s take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page “Persecution of Uyghurs in China” has 585 references.
They’re probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they’d risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China’s moral standing?
Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?
- Comment on Jet Fuel 11 months ago:
The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.
But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That’s pretty extreme.
- Comment on Jet Fuel 11 months ago:
I understand your desire to defend communism.
But really, how far does an authoritarian regime have to go, while calling itself communist, before you judge them?
What evidence would change your mind about the CCP?
- Comment on Vectors Part 2 11 months ago:
Check CompassRed’s comment above.
The definition part of the wikipedia article has a nice table with these “nice relationships for addition and scaling”. You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both
- Comment on Calling All Athiests 11 months ago:
The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.
If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!
Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.
