We need a new party, not a new democrat
Never going to happen while we still have FPTP, at least not the way you think it will. What would really happen, is this new party would split the Democratic vote, and the Republicans would win even harder. You have to get rid of FPTP before any 3rd party will be a realistic possibility. Until then it would just make things even worse.
I self-host Bitwarden, hidden behind my firewall and only accessible through a VPN. It’s perfect for me. If you’re going to expose your password manager to the internet, you might as well just use the official cloud version IMO since they’ll likely be better at monitoring logs than you will. But if you hide it behind a VPN, self-hosting can add an additional layer of security that you don’t get with the official cloud-hosted version.
Downtime isn’t an issue as clients will just cache the database. Unless your server goes down for days at a time you’ll never even notice, and even then it’ll only be an issue if you try to create or modify an entry while the server is down. Just make sure you make and maintain good backups. Every night I stop and rsync all containers (including Bitwarden) to a daily incremental backup server, as well as making nightly snapshots of the VM it lives in. I also periodically make encrypted exports of my Bitwarden vault which are synced to all devices - those are useful because they can be natively imported into KeePassXC, allowing you to access your password vault from any machine even if your entire infrastructure goes down. Note that even if you go with the cloud-hosted version, you should still be making these encrypted exports to protect against vault corruption, deletion, etc.
That’s a complicated question. Bigger memory can split it between more banks, which can mean more precharge penalties if the memory you need to access is spread out between them.
But big memory systems generally use workstation or server processors, which means more memory channels, which means the system can access multiple regions of memory simultaneously. Mini-PCs and laptops generally only have one memory controller, higher end laptops and desktops usually have two, workstations often have 4, and big servers can have 8+. That’s huge for parallel workflows and virtualization.
I’d be in trouble, since between ZFS and my various VMs, my system idles at ~170 GB RAM used. With only 32 I’d have to shut basically everything down.
My previous system had 64 GB, and while it wasn’t great, I got by. Then one of the motherboard slots died and dropped me to 48 GB, which seriously hurt. That’s when I decided to rebuild and went to 256.
Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet - if you’re in the US, lock down your credit at all 3 agencies. It takes 10-15 minutes and is free, it’s easy to do.
The issue is that many of these leaks include things like your full legal name, phone number, parents’ full legal names, your social security number, and your entire address history. This makes it trivially easy for somebody to steal your identity and start opening up credit accounts in your name. You need to lock down your credit before that happens. If you need your credit run in the future (opening a bank account, getting a credit card or loan), just ask them which agency they pull the report from and temporarily unfreeze it so they can run the report, then re-freeze it when they’re done. It adds 5 minutes of work once or twice a decade, but could be priceless later on when someone tries to steal your identity.
A lot of it comes down to the Just World Fallacy
They believe that, fundamentally, the world is just and good (mostly that stems from religion and a just “god”, but not always). This means that when something bad happens, they assume the person must have deserved it, because bad things don’t happen to good people. They also believe they are a good person, and therefore bad things won’t happen to them. When something bad DOES happen to them, they start screaming from the rooftops that some radical injustice has occurred and somebody needs to do something to make it right! Completely unaware of the fact that nobody from their “tribe” will believe them, because the fact that something bad happened to them meant they must have been a bad person who deserved it.
I bought my house in 2014, $224k at 4% APR, my monthly payment including taxes is $1400/mo.
It’s only been 11 years, inflation is up ~35% in that time, so buying the same house now should be ~$1900/mo. Actual price if I were to buy it now? ~$3500/mo. And wages have barely budged. No wonder young people entering the workforce can’t buy houses anymore.
Sure in a decade or so it might have matured enough to have shed all these issues
That’s the point. They want to set themselves up so that when the issues are shed and it becomes a realistic product, they’re already in a place where their product can be the one that takes over the market. If you wait until a product is viable before starting on development, you’re too late.
