@ParadeGrotesque NATO insider attack. How nice.

[scribbles on risk management matrix]

@slothrop absolutely. Not questioning your choice. Just the metrics should be clear. From a resource perspective the best trip is the one we don't take.

@slothrop by that logic an EV rental car would also not have created any emissions. And we all know that's not true.

Apart from all the obvious resources going into vehicles and infrastructure, there's also the fact that until all electricity is generated through renewables there's always a penalty for every kWh used, no matter where or how.

@slothrop our place is thoroughly infested with SAP as well. Can't say I like it either. But some of the newer tools IT manglement has recently dredged up are even worse.

PMO365 is a good example. It's basically a head-on collision of a project management tool with ms paint, built on top of sharepoint. I'd actually prefer the SAP module I think.

@slothrop sunlight. Sky. Pfft. Obvious "ai" BS.

😉

@slothrop m360 threw a wobbly again.

@dalias likewise if you send it through a heat pump.

Still not nearly enough in winter though. For 4.5 kWe installed we got 60 kWh so far this month.

@slothrop

@dalias in these latitudes solar heating isn't really a thing.

That's at least better than a few weeks ago when they broke the microphone. Not audio completely, just the microphone, first in edge (lol), then in Firefox, then lastly in chrome while at the same time fixing it in Firefox.

Seriously you couldn't make this up. Nobody of those clowns has any idea what they're doing. Every time I see teams restarting I wonder what they fscked up now.

Msft teams in the browser now has the "take control" button. And to everybody's amazement it actually works. 🧐

To nobody's amazement they broke the calendar view in Firefox. 😒

Msft giveth and msft taketh away...

@selea yes I also run that. Small, lightweight, supports the h/w just fine.

Just one example: DNS.

DNS is a super lightweight UDP-based application protocol - one packet with a query, one packet with an answer, in 90+% of use cases. Boom you're done.

Now the DNS-over-https (DoH) abomination changes that to a very expensive TCP connection with TCP handshake, connection management, SSL handshake, the actual query/answer, and then tear everything back down.

@joby mh, turns out the video footage was (also?) from cameras located at tesla charging stations.

Another good reason to avoid them if you don't own/use a tesla.

@joby yes he can. No there are no checks and balances. He's the king, he can do as he pleases.

Basically I don't care what he does to his customers. What I do care about is the collateral that gets captured by those cameras. People that have no dealings with the fash car maker, yet still end up in his video (and most likely audio) hoard. 🤬

@aral picture of the year, on day 1. [mic drop]

@aral oh boy, another one lost to the #CasioCult hoarders. 😂

Get better soon! 🤞

@lanodan @quad I guess you're looking at replicating some data center infra at home.

First thing would be a UPS. Ideally two, one for your server(s) to bridge a 30 min glitch, and a second one with enough juice to keep your networking gear up for a day or so.

Next step is having some ilo/idrac capability on your server(s) so you can get things back on the rails if needed.

Wondering if a Proxmox cluster over Wireguard VPN would work. I guess it should, if slowly.

@slothrop indeed. Wife wants to watch some shmoozy BS on TV, I'll retreat to the man cave.

Right that's social expectations fulfilled for another year. 🖕
