I was thinking the same thing. Spanning tree is love. Spanning tree is life…when deployed correctly.
Alternatively I’m thinking noise, as I’ve seen that in 10gig connections a few times, which is why I prefer LC fiber where possible.

And I saw it. What’s your fix for botnets and brigading?
Whenever I hear someone suggest “an algorithm” without elaborating further, I’m usually correct in presuming that it makes as much sense as “a wizard will use magic”. The other times it’s usually someone suggesting blockchain. Sometimes it’s both.
Or, hear me out, collaboration across networks. That’s what lemmy does. And it’s nothing new.
Because some of us remember how the internet was without moderators, and how it went to shit early 2000’s when “everyone” started using it.
20-25 years ago mods were rarely needed beyond booting a couple of spammers and getting rid of the occasional goatse and tubgirl. Now platform-wide efforts are needed to combat csam and gore.
Depends on your OS, but symlinks can do that for you - file exists once, but multiple “files” link to it. The application (torrent client) doesn’t care.

I’ve had plenty of rants about Norwegian broadband (or lack thereof) over the past 25 years. It’s a bit of a long story, but the gist of it is that during the 90’s there was this one company (Telenor) which had practical monopoly on telecom (it was the private remnant of what used to be part of the government), and of course they didn’t want to develop broadband 8nfrastructure as the made shitloads of money by selling ISDN at the time. Broadband was available in the biggest cities only, and even there it was limited. And the punchline of that joke was that when I was on dialup I had to pay by the minute. During that time, hearing about not having to pay by the minute in the US sounded like paradise to me.
But luckily competition happened, and Telenor realized they had to allow modernization or be left out of the market entirely. Small communities could sign up to have broadband “delivered”, and once enough people had signed up for an ISP to considet it profitable, digging would start. Today, twenty years later, I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I live practically in the middle of nowhere, in a tiny industrial town sqeezed to fit into the terrain, where three of the cardinal directions are blocked by mountains and the fourth being a fjord. And I have 1gbit both up and down.
Ouch, I was not aware of that. Here in scandinavialand we have a few local or regional ones in each area, plus a few big ones that cover the entire country.
Once the fiber is in the ground, “any” ISP can use them, regardless who buried it. I think it’s a remnant from 20ish years ago when the default was ADSL over copper, and the telecom cables were considered public infrastructure.
Yr.no has an API that is free. https://developer.yr.no/
Unless they’re willing to give you your own IP (dynamic, or maybe static for a fee), that’s a good reason for replacing your ISP imo.
It’s also nice for keeping those pesky scrags away. Can’t do carpentry on the Castle of the Damned without
Yes, but the best ones obviously use gatling nail guns.
When I worked on a ship, we coordinated with the other 12-hour shift so both of us got 30 minutes of the offending hour.
Typing speed matters in programming the same way hammer hits per second matters when building a house. There’s a little bit more to it.
Same. I’m sure python, rust, and all the others are better/cooler/vegan/whatever but perl is what I’m fluent in. More than once have I started to hack together something in python, only to scrap it and start over in perl because I can get it done so much faster. Trust me, my hourly cronjob doesn’t care that it takes half a second more to run. And the UPS doesn’t care that it takes 1mW more to run it. But I care a lot about not dicking around with documentation just to figure out what is pythonic and what isn’t when a shitty perl oneliner will do just fine.
That’s OUR n-word. it’s offensive if someone else uses it.
FYI, the H&K variant is called G3A3. AG3 is a noggie term for the licensed design named “Automatgevær 3”, which are locally manufactured.

I for one missed Portnoys influence on the music. Not necessarily as a drummer, but as a songwriter and general arranger. I always liked Manginis drumming, including his work before DT, so I’ve always been curious how DT would be if Portnoy was involved more on the production side.
Either way, I’m happy to again be able to hear the DT i fell in love with all those years ago (well, minus Derek). I hope to see them live again soon.
Also: Metropolis Pt.3 when?

Because a well designed game does not include drudgery. “Work-simulators” focus on results and progress and gloss over many of the hours of outright boredom or physical exertion to get there.
For example, truck driving simulator does not include the pain in the ass and boring part of loading or unloading the truck. Farming simulator does not include the painstaking process of removing rocks from the field.
While I grew up on a farm, my first proper career was something called OBC seismic. What it is isn’t as important as the fact that it involved placing a 6km long sensor cable on the seabed with a winch and position it properly. To do this right requires practice, and as the principle is farly easy I wrote a small simulator that our trainees could try out. At first they found it interesting, and even the seniors from other departments enjoyed toying with it. The biggest lack of realism was that it didn’t involve doing it for 12 hours straight, only stopping to unscrew 25 meter sections and replacing them. Barring drudgery and repetitive boredom could’ve probably made it an interesting game similar to other work simulators.
