Yeah maybe. I just read it as it’s personal stuff based on this line.

I manage a very large OpenStack cluster for my day job and we just give people what they pay for.

Just for yourself? Why not rent or colo a dedicated server or two or three and install a hypervisor? What all do you even run for yourself that needs 25 servers?

Badge of honor 🫡

I agree mostly. It’s like North Korea, I can’t really do anything to change the situation. My government can’t change the situation. We can try to push some buttons to help foster change but we can’t force it. Change has to come from within.

Have you listened to the it could happen here podcast? The first episodes(the story ones) are pretty good.

Edit specifically this episode but you should start with episode 1 for more background.

I’m not disagreeing with you but I think what we see is a minority of people with the protests. It seems like there is not really much political will to change anything from the half of the country with a penis, and the older females.

The whole thing is pretty sad but from my understanding when things like this happen they generally blame the west and the majority go along with it.

Honestly as a westerner Iran is pretty irrelevant to my life. It’s not like we can invade them or force them to overthrow the government and if we did people would never shut up about it.

Look at Afghanistan the USA spent so much money trying to spread liberal democratic ideas, integrate and educate women but as soon as we left they went back to how it always was. There is no civil war, the majority just consented to the Taliban rule.

The government exists by consent of the people or so I’ve been told…

I don’t think Pravda(truth) is federated is it?

Interesting. I wonder if the main community they spam in are just banned and not the instance. I got so much spam from one user who posted like several things an hour all day with no engagement on any posts when I would sort by new before we defederated. It was weird.

Yeah I was going to ask do you see a bunch of spam from them in the new feed? The admin guy posts so much stuff with 0 engagement it’s weird.

Just found it interesting the SDF seems like the most federated instance on here https://federation-checker.vercel.app/ weird.

Does SDF not defederate anyone?

Где вы были последние восемь лет? Where were you the last eight years? 😉

This one’s been pretty long right?

I thought this story was satire for a second. Now I’m sad 😢

:(

😊 for the most part you can just use the tar command to back stuff up in the most half-assed way.

For example: sudo tar cvzf /tmp/backup.tgz /home/

Or change /home/ to whatever directory has stuff you care about.

Then plug in a USB drive and copy /tmp/backup.tgz with the gui and it should contain your user data if you need it. It’s pretty much like making a zip file for a backup…

Then this to delete the backup file: sudo rm /tmp/backup.tgz

tar xvf ./backup.tgz to extract it or just use the gui.

My friends have asked me to do basic Linux stuff for them in my off hours and I generally oblige, if it seems quick and I know they are not going to call me having a meltdown in a few weeks if something unrelated breaks. Especially since it sounds like you already put in quite a bit of legwork trying on your own.

I wish I could help more but I’ve gone out of my way to not use Nvidia or Intel products for over a decade. So I have no idea. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I think that the Nvidia webpage has like a .run file you can use to install them but that might just make things worse…

I tried this it was so loud. I’m not sure if since it’s the future you can buy a quiet rack mount servers. a few years ago I was doing a home rack in a small space was pretty much a space heater/airport plane takeoff sound simulator. I still have a mini rack but I basically use it to hold smaller computers from minisform or beelink. The DDR5 models make perfect hypervisors and they are cheap enough to cluster without feeling like you are killing the environment.

Although I do turn some older severs on in the winter to keep warm rather than use a space heater.

Thanks I like this test more than the other ones I’ve seen. I feel like it needs more questions but that’s the problem with all these tests.

How did this break rule 1? Just confused since the user looks like he was already banned. Not trying to troll just curious…
