Personally, to support a European manufacturer with a massive track record of giving a fuck.
Their history of open source software, technically sound hardware, and excellent support is extremely impressive, even outside the lens of 3d printing these are rare and valuable traits.
Ghost of Tsushima.
Yeah the utilities area is downright scary. Usually run on thin margins, really old specialists that are rapidly retiring, no IT budget to speak of, and most mission critical tech is 20+ years old, off the shelf from companies long dead, and loosely networked by people who’s objective was “make it work”, not security or resilience.
The only way out- electrical companies basically HAVE to become public like all the other utilities, and funding, wages, job training, and modernization for all utilities needs to be prioritized massively.
Of course, there’s lots of political reasons for idiots to fight against all this, so it won’t happen until the worst already has.
Thank God they’re unenforceable in my state.
Cranberries are pretty damn tart while still being edible.
I don’t proxy the port, I proxy the routes needed for auth and interface. This isn’t that hard.
EDIT: ah I see what you’re saying, you’re talking about the app surface rather than the raw admin API. The risk is small enough with the remaining attack surface that I’m not particularly worried, though obviously I’d like it to be better.
Just use a reverse proxy. Everything goes over https.
This is a concern if you just port forward through a router. This isn’t a problem if you simply use a reverse proxy, which is standard and normal and expected and not difficult at all.
This is a balanced take. If anyone doubts, you should read up on the scrubbing/cleaning NASA has to do on their rovers before sending them to Mars.
You know how that bottle of alcohol-based sanitizer says it kills ‘99.9%’ of all bacteria? Well 99.9% still leaves billions of the bastards behind. It’s the same for the UV treatment they do. And the ionic plasma jet. And the 8 or 9 other steps they take. And they’re really still not convinced every time they detect an organic on the surface of Mars we didn’t bring it with us by accident, have them make it through the vacuum of space and the hard radiation for the 18 month trip, and just release a handful of still living super resistant bacteria onto the surface.
Oh man, all sorts. F1, Ghost of Tsushima, Hades 1 & 2, Planet Crafters, Powerwash Simulator, Stray, etc.
Oh wow weird! No haven’t had any issues with my TT or my ES, and I’ve had the ES for 2 years of heavy use now.
I used ps5 controllers. Both developed stick drift within a year of light use. They’re beautiful and so nice to hold and use, but don’t waste your money.
I recommend Gulikit TT Pro.
Good ergonomics. Repairable (made by the company who got famous selling replacement Hall effect sticks for Nintendo switch controllers). Built like tanks with proper microswitches and Hall effect sticks. Inexpensive too, especially compared to the controllers that have similar features.
Best of all, work out of the box on Linux.
I respect your perspective and personal experience, and I’m not trying to convince you (I’m not even downvoting you, as it’s not a disagreement button). I’m trying to convince whoever might come along and read this that the small extra price is worth it if their computer is going to hold data dear to them and be running 24x7.
ECC is extremely good at covering cosmic ray bitflips, which happen with extreme regularity on software that runs and modifies data on the fly- server software. Yes, even home run stuff. That’s just playing Russian roulette, it probably won’t break anything, but why take the risk at least 10 times every day?
It’s also great at catching failing RAM sticks and preventing them from doing horrible things to every bit of data running through them. This is the failure ECC caught for me at home twice.
I have only 2.5 decades in the enterprise server and software space, I won’t claim to your 4. But I know I wouldn’t take that risk at work, and I value my home data more rather than less.
I’m not a researcher or even a particularly well practiced rhetorician, so here’s probably a much more convincing argument.
Or this perhaps.
I’ll strongly disagree. Anyone who cares about the data they store in their server should care about ECC. There’s a specific reason it’s used so widely by servers, not just financial databases or whatever.
There’s also a ton of misinformation on the Internet about it, so don’t buy into the “ZFS write hole” or whatever. But ECC is very important in my experience. It’s saved my bacon in a material way twice now, and in ways that normal RAM would have just silently continued breaking things. Really that’s not much of a price premium if you’re willing to buy used, so it’s more a question of why not?
There are many computers (especially business line computers including low power SFF) that will take ECC or even ship with it from ebay or whatever. Or you can build rigs with ECC, I’ve done this route twice and had good results.
You have to understand that in the pre-classical era, Roman people had minor god cults throughout their small villages, and the Greeks did the same thing. The cults beliefs did some traveling over time, and reasonable people slowly began piecing together a shared mythos.
Over time, as the Greeks pulled together their culture into a power structure of loosely associated city-states, their religious cults from dozens and dozens of villages all were glued together into a more cohesive pantheon.
Romans then adopted and ‘latinized’ the Greek pantheon, mixing in several of their own superstitions and cults.
This means you will have a God of creation and a God of that pond over there, which might have later been rationalized into a nymph.
EDIT:
It’s much the same in the Abrahamic religions. Yahweh was the god of storms/thunder, sort of second or third in command to El, had a wife etc. Later he was given domain over war and then later promoted to the one true God.
You can see small remnants of this in the Bible, in the conflicts with Baal (another diety of the pantheon) especially (theorized to be some of the oldest stories in the Bible). Yahweh often uses thunder and lightning in his signs, and in older records mention is made of his wife/children etc.
Before things were commonly written down and literacy was common Religious beliefs were messy, constantly adapting and re-adapting to changing times, rulers, and encounters with other systems of belief.
Totally fair.
Seems like she’s seeking a spot with a preferred microclimate- not too hot, not too cold, enough shelter/cover etc.
It can be a sign of sickness or discomfort/stress. Or it can be a personality trait.
Maybe message a few herpetology forums or a vet and see if someone has some sage advice?
Yep exactly. As soon as they announced they weren’t going to ramp capacity I thought the exact same thing. They’re taking advantage of the situation to pad their pockets as thoroughly as possible.
And if demand continues theywill ramp and say they “reevaluated the market”, and thus get the benefits of panic buying AND a larger sales volume.
And mark my words- prices will never fall back to where it was without enormous market distruption.
Keming is a bitch.
