@griefstricken Prior to nuclear weapons perhaps but that kind of takes the humor out of it.

@Tinidril How about self defense, same thing we would have called the invasion of Cuba if the Russians hadn’t backed down.

@griefstricken Yea I don’t think where the servers are hosted is the issue, if it were I’d be seeing this same traffic on my other social media sites and from other than lemmy servers here. Well there are about there other non-lemmy sites that are problematic but in a different way, lot of racist comments from a handful.

@vga I can only tell you that if my personal net worth was 50 million, I’d be looking for a new national home yesterday.

@griefstricken @Vincent I think bottom line is that it’s bad for the open source community and something a grown adult like Linus should know better than to do even if it means moving his foundation to another nation. You can’t be as critical to the open source movement and then bow to political pressures like this. The last estimate of Linus’s personal worth was placed at 50 million, so not like he can’t afford to move.

@ Download and compile the most recent kernel from kernel.org, sooner or later you’ll run into a situation where the nvidia drivers don’t support it.

@ @mfat The reason I gave up on Nvidia is they never keep their drivers up to date with the latest kernel.

When you spin up the drive, the motor has to overcome the mass of the disks to bring them up to speed, requiring more torque, current, and wear, than just keeping them at that speed. On the other hand, bearings don’t wear out at zero RPM. Bearings go, motor goes, either way drive is dead. Regarding bearings ALWAYS mount drives so that they are horizontal, this results in minimal bearing wear and load.

@grue @ArchRecord An example of a database that doesn’t keep it’s data in files?

@dustyData @evasync I’ve been working with Linux since 1992, I have a better idea of how I want my disks laid out then an installer script.
