  • They’re trying… But it’s almost performative. I calmed down a lot when they complied with the orders to shut down alligator Auschwitz, now we’ve got ICE whining about how no one likes them, people aren’t coming to their hearings to get picked up, and all that bullshit about denaturalization seems to have been dropped

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s still horrible, we need to fight it, and we need to disband ICE and have trials when this is all over… But it’s not the defining aspect of this administration

    Those tents and cages in the Everglades cost hundreds of millions to set up, and probably a comparable amount to tear down. Money that was set aside for disaster recovery. The majority of that money went in someone’s pocket

    And that’s the real defining aspect of the administration. They’re fascist enough to do fascism, but they’re too busy looting the government for profit to commit to it







  • It kinda does… Not like, literally, but generally? In a statistical, mean time to failure kind of way? It’s surprisingly accurate

    These people, like always, just take a nugget of truth and use it to come to wild conclusions. Because there’s a second, very important factor in this equation - exercise reduces your heart rate

    Among mammals, there is an inverse semilogarithmic relation between heart rate and life expectancy. The product of these variables, namely, the number of heart beats/lifetime, should provide a mathematical expression that defines for each species a predetermined number of heart beats in a lifetime. Plots of the calculated number of heart beats/lifetime among mammals against life expectancy and body weight (allometric scale of 0.5 x 10(6)) are, within an order of magnitude, remarkably constant and average 7.3 +/- 5.6 x 10(8) heart beats/lifetime. A study of universal biologic scaling and mortality suggests that the basal energy consumption/body atom per heart beat is the same in all animals (approximately 10(-8) O2 molecules/heart beat). These data yield a mean value of 10 x 10(8) heart beats/lifetime and suggest that life span is predetermined by basic energetics of living cells and that the apparent inverse relation between life span and heart rate reflects an epiphenomenon in which heart rate is a marker of metabolic rate. Thus, the question of whether human life can be extended by cardiac slowing remains moot and most likely will only be resolved by retrospective analyses of large populations, future animal studies and clinical trials using bradycardic therapy.

    Here’s the study



  • You could mount it on top or vertically behind the rack and have it still look decent and be functional with a little handiwork

    You still are going to need a router, although you don’t need a fancy router and a fancy switch, you just have to make sure you’re not bottlenecked and have to design things differently

    2.5 gb is probably more than enough, but you could probably get away with 1 gb if you aren’t doing a lot of file transfers - if it’s just backups and streaming video, if you want to get fancy it might become a bottleneck.

    PoE is kinda niche so unless you have specific plans to use it, it probably won’t come up

    The switch supports vlans, so you could get fancy with a VPN gateway and access these things remotely with a Virtual DMZ, but realistically that’s a bitch to set up and you could just make a real DMZ with a router/wifi access point combo. Or just forget the DMZ and have a VPN gateway that connects to the local network

    I really just don’t know enough about how you want to use this to get more specific. This is probably more switch than you need, but if you’re not connecting from outside it’ll probably work great for the LAN

    Networking is all about bottlenecks, and I doubt this will be a bottleneck for a good while





  • I don’t know how else to explain it to you. Microsoft is doing well on paper

    These unprofitable divisions? This is the result of the layoffs. This is what happens when you stop doing the thing, and you start living in speculation land

    Azure is a mess propped up by AI. The numbers don’t account for shuffling money around. It’s related to why every Microsoft product has ai shoved into it

    And I’m keep bringing up gaming because their gaming division is the most egregious example of what I’m talking about. They’re the third largest game publisher, and they’ve played a huge part killing AAA gaming. And in doing so, they’ve killed their own revenue stream
