@jcbrand But your mining reward does scale with your investment. Which, again, means more benefit to richer people.Nothing in bitcoin distributes wealth. It's an imaginary solution to a real problem.

@raucao @schmittlauch @jcbrand @feld I don't know why you keep saying that.Miners aren't logically located near renewable sources and they don't give a shit when the energy is being produced.I live near no hydro plants and I've never ever checked whether "now" is a good time to use electricity due to renewable production.All mining does is add a general strain to the network. If the hydro isn't being used to address that general strain it means that it is in excess at the wrong place/time.

@jcbrand @schmittlauch @raucao @feld What the fuck does "providing a floor to energy usage" even mean?Can I fix global warming by buying 10 hair dries, plugging them in, and leaving them on 24/7?Wind energy sells at negative prices because it _sometimes_ provides way too much energy. But sometimes it produces none.If my hair dries dry 24/7, then I will use more fossil fuels.

@feld half way through the guide goes "just kidding. This is a teardown guide. You may as well keep going, it's dead now."

@alexbuzzbee interestingly the comments in the OOM killer source code explains:"we try to kill the process the user expects us to kill, this algorithm has been meticulously tuned to meet the principle of least surprise ... (be careful when you change it)"How would you rate your level of surprise on a scale from 1 to oh-my-God-what-did-I-ever-do-to-you-Linux! ?

@piggo tried installing falkon the other day on a privacy recommendation.>recommends using snap>doesn't even launch>the startup issue was tracked over a year agoAlright, but I found falkon in my repos>3 year old release>the KDE theme makes most of the UI unusable in my gnome based 4k desktop and the browser has no settings for it so presumably I need to install some KDE desktop features?I didn't even get to using the browser out of pure road blocks.

@piggo @lanodan My preferred folder name is "~".I've accidentally created it multiple times and it's always very scary to delete it again.

My grandmother writes to me in Danish on her phone, but when she has to write English words her auto correct just inserts whatever word is closest in danish.This gets very confusing when she is writing down a fitbit error message and it comes out as "please check tour connection" and "erro vide 1017".Because it does somehow know a few English words, but not all of them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not vegan but I've been out of eggs, milk, and butter for like a week and a half.

@rysiek @sir I'm also sad about the history being gone. I've definitely tried to find something I knew he posted just to realize it was gone.My thoughts on the "pleasant experience" part: Drew is an.. opinionated person. He seeks out conflict sometimes, so it's not solely on the other side 😄

oh man it's hard to bootstrap the federation on a brand new instance. There's just nothing to see.I don't wanna pull in my current follows because I'm honestly not sure how seriously I'm gonna take it.

@pleiades Starting this instance is my attempt to bait a few people onto the fediverse, so I'm working up some follows so they have something to look at now 😄

The more I think about the value proposition of Elasticsearch the more I realize it's probably mostly used for the wrong thing.Keeping an index of everything in memory is expensive. Why would you do it for all your data?It's not an accident that Elasticsearch built a SIEM solution into Kibana. They wanted to get into the insane corporate waste that is log management. Corporations load all their logs into ES and keep them there for 5 years. Wasting memory and getting no value out of it.

And Elasticsearch, being Java, is very stingy with memory. You're advised to use no more than ~32GB of for JVM. Then you can potentially get performance out of an extra 32GB of OS caching memory, but 64GB isn't a lot these days...And the Elasticsearch license model is of course per node, so the more trash you put in the more nodes you need even if you don't use most of that data.It's not the default to load old data out, so most people don't and then they just keep growing their clusters.

@faho yes. Sometimes twice... Is it a bad sign that I, as an it professional, feel the need to reboot it two times?

@faho I also don't trust computers that have been turned on for more than 30 days and will restart them even if they appear to work correctly.I know they're out to get me. And if I don't keep them in check they'll take over.
