You imply they’re not already here. All it takes is setting up a server that’s federated with common endpoints and then sucking everything in via ActivityPub. No need for scraping.

And I thought the American right was bad about “it doesn’t matter until it affects us”

Because taxes can be traced to services that should be provided to people. No one knows where the money from tariffs are going. (The rich)

Is that a 12-incher you’re packing in there?

There’s a fork of Zotify that fixes the authentication issues. Beyond that, don’t try for a mass download but limit the speed and number at a time. Works great.

It was rhetorical. I realize that you probably think it actually matters, but all it does is ends up taking up more bytes of storage and bandwidth as it gets replicated across the fediverse…. Right to the one instance that doesn’t care and is scraping your data.

Off topic: do you seriously think your license disclaimer actually does anything?

If you can actually get your hands on a B580…

I’m waiting to see what Hong Kong does and if they’ll switch to the Yuan. Right now the HKD is locked to the US Dollar in a small range, so they’re getting fucked too.

25 years later and they’re still saying that!

I read the names backwards and I was sad. Then I read it forwards and was happy.

Chūnibyō (中二病, lit. ‘middle-school second-year syndrome’) is a Japanese colloquial term typically used to describe adolescents with delusions of grandeur. These teenagers are thought to desperately want to stand out and convince themselves that they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.

The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

We did it 1,500 miles across multiple states. Also when we ordered new servers we ordered fully built and cabled racks, shipped from HP in Juarez to our doors in giant crates, 52U high, fully cabled. Unpack, plug in power and uplinks and the entire rack was ready to go. We were getting like 2-3 of those a week.

Funny thing is, I’ve relocated DCs too and we did the opposite. We had rolling racks and we wrapped the entire rack with everything still in it and did a padded wrap with anti-tip indicators.

The biggest thing to watch out for was we used a temperature controlled truck to ensure there wasn’t a swing in humidity or temps to cause condensation and then let the racks sit in the new locations for 24 hours before power on

Moving 85 racks with literally hundreds of disks and we only lost 4 disks over the next 6 months which was in line with our normal failure rate. No need to tear down and re-rack.

Does the same format work for a user or post?

Right now they’re more expensive in Europe due to tariffs (not the Trump ones), however there were some talks about the EU reducing or removing the tariff on them in which case I can see demand exploding because of their price.

Why do I have a feeling he meant to say “If Tesla goes down, America will go with it”

Uh-huh. Anyone keeping track of how many times they’ve threatened with nukes? I think this is at least 3-4 that I remember.

Pigeon management: fly in, shit over everything, strut around like you own the place and then leave.
