Generally, blockchain is really only helpful in very specific scenarios

• where there is no trust amongst actors (there is trust in dns, I trust you to tell me the details for your DNS records)
• immutability is important (dns records are regularly mutated, only the current state is important)
• and performance is unimportant (performance is critically important for dns)

DNS uses distributes hash tables, which is decentralized. Though, yes, there is centralization in terms of trusted entities able to issue domain names and top level domains, you can already host your own distributed and decentralized name servers

Hardware stores might have cheap gel knee pads ($10 -> $40 for fancier ones)

There’s also these kneeling mats / pads

TypeError is also a correct response, though, and I think many folks would say makes more sense. Is an unnecessary footgun

You’ve never used charcoal for a grill?

I would’ve never gotten that! I started getting lost trying to think about the differences in circumferences and radii before they mentioned the right or wrong answers

Hadn’t heard of reiverr, you like it?

I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a file-arr for analyzing disk usage, performing common operations, and exposing a web-based upload/download client so I don’t have to mount the volume everywhere.

That’d be cool. There’s one that does transcoding and another that does unzipping

Arch, btw

you just haddddd to say it

2nd’ing. I tried TubeArchivist too and preferred this

Unquestionably Golang if those are the two options. It’ll give you a much better base to work with if you are still earlier in your career and is much more applicable to a lot of things.

Elixir is niche, the syntax doesn’t share a lot of patterns with other languages, and no one is hiring for it. Also few people know it.

I want to caveat my answer with that I personally really like elixir, and would prefer to work with it myself over golang for some types of problems. Actor patterns are really cool.

This is Kingdom Come: Deliverance? If this is the part I’m thinking of it was such a hard fight! I didn’t even realize you could poison things!

I don’t know why everyone is giving you shit about modifying log files. That support person was an asshole

I am using Unraid to run docker, but want to use k3s (again) to turn some old laptops I have lying around into commodity hardware

Listen. Some of us are looking forward. To the Future. The future of pulling out of that parking spot. Not my fault if you stuck in the rear-view, my guy.

It’s called Fancy Parking, sweetie. Look it up 💅

ah. True. Wasn’t thinking about the modifications required and renting.

You can have a switch such that you use “Shore Power” / the grid when your batteries are low and your batteries when they are full.

For anyone interested: I absolutely do not recommend as a DIY project, hire an electrician. You will kill yourself by stopping your heart or burn your house down. Or both. At the same time.

Aw. I’m so excited for there to be some fake “make energy from water vapor” blockchain bullshit company. Then we get to say vaporware as a double entendre.

(I do feel like I vaguely remember something about harvesting energy from humidity? Tiny nanotubes or something?)

From bulletin board experiences back in the aughts - I don’t know how this wasn’t a similar problem? If it was a recent thread - it got interaction. I think that had the benefit of not having a “front page” so you could see 10 or 20 posts for each sub-forum. Which is similar enough to just going to a subreddit and looking at the most recent posts - but most folks, I think, don’t interact like that with these types of interfaces unless they have a specific thing to look for?

What’s a fun one???

Oh that’s what that is 😅 I have that a bunch - was hard to describe as it’s not sleep paralysis. It’s often… confusing… and occasionally disturbing but I’m a bit used to it at this point. It is so weird how it persists until the lights come on

I sat bolt upright in the middle of the night one time talking to the wall, kinda grumpily, and my partner was really disturbed… trying to explain to her that the customs officer wanted something didn’t really help that much.

Seeing bed bugs all over my whole body and everywhere in a grungy motel was pretty disturbing. And a hooded man in the corner, staring, during the middle of the night in a new persons’ bed.
