WaterWaiver
@WaterWaiver@aussie.zone
I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It’s not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.
Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.

No no no, that just reflects the nature of the difficult market of problems that Oracle is trying to solve. Just because they choose to solve difficult problems for people shouldn’t mean they get punished. 🪂

This council also got suckered in by Oracle

Do not EVER engage Oracle with a business deal. They are the epitome of “it will cost a lot more than you budget for”, that’s their speciality. You can try and blame customisation scope or wrong support people, but even if you got those right they’d find some other way of milking you.

I have some uploaded image problems.
(1) The Lost Powers of Childhood is missing an inline image upload on the first post (“Bonus: in this…”). I think this might have occurred before the upgrade, I recall having to look for it a week ago, but I’m not sure.
(2) The new Profile -> Uploads page has lots of odd gaps:
It’s not showing some images I’ve uploaded, eg this MSY catalog screenshot isn’t listed there.

This is an inexcusable breach of the SLA. Lodion must be offered free Timtams as recompense.

I love the little gatekeepers huts everywhere with their chimneys. Can’t have the employees freezing :) Woodpiles or coal?

I’m a bit confused by the upside-down negative swap graph. Does it say that the server is eating up to 5GB of swap, but restarting lemmy each night only returns that to about 2.5GB of swap? What’s the swap monster?

Brilliant book.
I like the bit about how proud the author was to develop a purple liquid rocket fuel, but then discover it wasn’t useful :(

I’m imagining some poor person that’s just flown in from a more conservative and traditional location. They’ve spotted a few things that seem a bit off (bare feet at the airport?) but things are mostly OK. Then they get to Parliament Station.
Centre frame: petrified person wearing clothes for winter climate clutching baggage at top of slide. Camera zooms out suddenly. Normal trainstation noises continue in background.

- Comment on Greens Support Digital ID Bill if Amendments Passed 2 months ago:
The myGovID app is compatible with most smart devices and is only available from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Does it work without Google play services?
If not… I’m rather disgusted with the idea of being a serfdom of Google and Apple. Literally can’t access your own government ID without their permission and blessing. I lost access to my Microsoft account recently and they demanded I provide them with personal contact info.

[…] including more than $US500,000 ($745,000) on eight trips to the Bahamas over a three-year span. […] Mr LaPierre has defended himself, saying in previous testimony that cruising the Bahamas on a yacht was a “security retreat” because he was facing threats after mass shootings.
Wow. Having your life threatened is horrible, but can you use such a thing to justify this? Surely there are more appropriate options?

80MBit/s audio? How?
For reference: 2x channels of 16-bit 48KHz raw uncompressed PCM audio (ie “perfect except maybe the noise floor under very very specific circumstances”) is about 1.5MBit/s. Even if you go 96KHz 6 channels (5.1 setup) 24bit uncompressed PCM then it’s only 14MBit + overheads.
