Love the super aggressive headbutts, mine puts his entire body weight into it like it’s an attack.

That “rod” is a PDU. Very heavy and very sharp edges sometimes

Jokes on you, I lemmy in the shower, ain’t gonna let that brain have any free time.

I have a OR1500LCDRTXL2U on my desk and it’s silent unless running on battery.

You mean this guy, who posted 24 minutes ago?

He’s just moved on tonother instances it seems.

I purchased a xps15 a few years ago. It had to go back twice in a year. Once for a fan that died, then again for a fan making bad noise when under load. Stopped using it about 18 months after getting it after the battery stopped working completely out of the blue.

Yup. I tried selling on Amazon and ended up back on ebay because perfectly working stuff was being returned and I had to eat the cost of shipping both ways.

There are some others, bhphoto being a good one, but many of the online retailers do not have free shipping and many also have return fees. That’s where Amazon saw a way to steal customers away.

Most people want the question free returns, that’s really the thing keeping amazon afloat compared to say eBay or aliexpress. Sure you can get the stuff directly from China in most cases, but you have to wait for a month for it to arrive and hope you don’t need to return it.

As for local stores, they always cost more because of the cost of doing business, which is why Amazon is cheaper and faster to deliver.

All that said, as long as you can wait a few days, there is no need to pay for Prime, you can still get all the stuff shipped for free if you just wait until you have 45 bucks of stuff to buy.

0.19.1 has a problem that causes higher than expected server load, as illustrated in my first post showing their utilization graphs.

As for a few months ago, “someone” was DDoSing lemmy.world almost constantly but i guess they ran out of money or got bored.

Exposing your internal devices to the internet is not suggested unless you know how to secure it behind a reverse proxy.

Federation takes almost no server load. It’d all the people loading images and comment threads that cause the server to slow down. Yes federation can break, especially due to unexpected code changes, but typically using a federated, lower user count site helps over all.

Reporter asks

We’ve talked about this a few months ago, and you told me then you thought Biden would win Pennsylvania and win the overall election. But things have gotten worse for him since. Trump is now ahead in many polls.

He responds

But that doesn’t really matter. There’s a whole lifetime in politics between now and next November as well. I’m not worried about that. And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president. … I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the fuck up. Like I said, my man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing. And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that

I liked this comment

I don’t think you understand how a federated system works based on that comment.

They do a lot to be transparent and monitor availability.

There is an big usage jump before Xmas, I assume because of the recent lemmy version upgrade that many admins are saying uses more resources.

Give em some time, I’m sure there will be a patch soon.

Best part of the fediverse is you can just use a less popular server until things calm down.

I would venture a guess it’s people’s phone backups, all those fireworks and concert videos filmed and uploaded to cloud to never be watched again.

Yeah, it’s a struggle with there are a dozen zero days a year for multiple brands/applications. I have at least 4 people always doing some sort of upgrade or patch being reported by infosec.

And a way to have that many drives connected at once, which means more cost.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Keep living in your made up fear.
