I’m pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what’s going everywhere on the internet all at once?

I’m guessing if you have to pay the government, you can get government approval.

Sounds a bit like the topiary scene in The Shining. (Book version)

If a piece of hardware can’t run doom is it even hardware?

Won’t someone think of the Irish people on beaches?

Maybe the easiest method is to create the fusion reaction in space because then you don’t need to worry about containment. Have a big ball of fusion going nonstop and then beam that energy to earth.

Then have collectors which receive that beamed down energy. You could put them everywhere… Maybe close to where you need the energy like directly on top of buildings and houses.

Nah I’ll stay with liftoff. Never used sync… came from baconreader and liftoff has the same vibe.

Enshittification and masturbation.

These mines are going to be a problem for decades to come sadly.

Thousands of angry Muslims around the world demanding Sweden forbid such acts reacted by storming and burning the Swedish embassy in Iraq on July 20, for instance, as well as burning countless US, Israeli, Swedish and LGTBQ flags.

So they’re complaining about their symbols being burnt but they do exactly the same? Okay.

I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.

But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.

However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.

I’m not one of these 2 arguing. But in general the app servers don’t do caching or state handling.

You cache things in a third external cache such as redis or memcached. So if a user connects to app server 1 and then to app server 2 they will both grab cachee info from redis. No extra db calls required. This has been the basic way of doing things even with old school WordPress sites forever. You also store session cookies in there or in the db.

And even if you weren’t caching externally like this, databases use up a lot of memory to cache tons of data. So even if the same query hits the db the second hit would probably still be hot in memory and return super fast. It’s not double the load. At least with postgres this is the case and it’s what Lemmy uses.

Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?

And how did that work out for them?

Have you checked your carbon monoxide alarm? Maybe it was you?

In Australia some local councils use aerial photos to check for structures and developments without a permit. Built a new deck without the right paperwork, put in a big shed without approval, expect a knock on the door soon.

Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.

Done.

Now download ebooks from anywhere, import into calibre and sync to your Kindle.

I have the paper white touch screen one.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

It’s the miracle of the innernet.

That it was an invitation only club was entirely the point.
