Usually a dish these days rather than waveguide, but yes.

There’s nothing about being larger that makes access speed inherently slower. We just have to use cheaper technologies to improve density. CPU cache is usually SRAM, which is less dense than DRAM, but faster. 1GB of SRAM would be god tier. Even the Ryzen X3D chips only have 96MB of L3 cache, all SRAM, and those are sick.

Still god tier. Plus, it’s static RAM, which is faster than the dynamic RAM used in regular RAM sticks.

Last part that I need is for SSDs to come down in price to where ~80TB isn’t too ridiculous (that’s 40TB usable space with RAID1). Cut the price per TB in half two more times to make it there. Otherwise, spinning platters are the bottleneck with my 10Gb network.

Which probably would have happened in the next few years if not for tariffs.

They’re apparently in talks to sell off their network division. Future there is really up in the air.

A lot of those modules would work fine if the companies didn’t fuck with their drivers.

The Linux ixgbe driver (for Intel 82598 and 82599 chipsets) was submitted with a whitelist for Intel SFP+ adapters. Linux devs added a module option to shut off the whitelist, and tons of stuff is perfectly compatible.

Copyright, yes. And a lot of this is corporate history rather than the legal portion.

Historically, this has been an easy sell. If the US gets nuked, Canada is just as fucked. Canada was happy to host US early warning radar throughout the Cold War.

The fact that it’s not an easy sell now highlights how bad Trump is at everything. You never needed The Art of the Deal to set this up in the past.

SCO Unix was mostly dead before then (not fully dead, just smelled like it). They were never the most popular Unix vendor to begin with. Caldera–a commercial Linux distro–had bought them out, and that’s when the legal trouble started.

All those old vendors tended to have one specific thing they were really good at. IIRC, the thing for SCO was that they could load up hundreds of users on a single box on 1990s hardware. No small feat when the traditional Unix model needs to fork() a process for login/shell/whatever.

In a sense, NextStep is the only one of the old Unix vendors to still have a significant install base.

If they let up on hating an outside groups for a moment, people might notice that they have no policies that anyone wants.

I’m an enthusiast with no kids (and a vasectomy to make sure it stays that way) and I’ve driven both around a track. Glad to have done it once, but I’m not in any hurry to do it again. Wouldn’t buy either one over my Miata.

Supercars are vastly overrated.

The problem for Christianity is that it doesn’t fit with how God is presented. He intervenes in things from time to time. Destroyed civilization with a flood because he didn’t like what people were doing with free will.

You might be able to take a Deist stance and make it work. However, then you’re implicitly saying there’s no evidence for God, and are one step out from agnostic atheism. You could say God changed his mind and saw the flood as a bad idea, but fundamentalists are never going to go for that one.

For that matter, the free will explanation isn’t even universal among Christians.

You’re not calling anyone out on anything. We’re all quite aware of habitat destruction. It’s just not the focus of this particular thread.

Maybe letting cats out is one of the many ways we destroy habitat, and calling it out is valid?

Reposting (with minor edits) something I wrote in another comment a few days ago:

Cars force communication that is inherently anti-social. If someone is genuinely sitting at a light too long, you honk at them. There aren’t a lot of other good options. But even a honk sounds aggressive. You could be as polite a person as can be in any other situation, but making the completely reasonable choice to honk at them makes it sound like you’re calling their mom fat.

When this happens to me, and the guy ends up pulling into the same parking lot, I tend to avoid any other contact, even if it’s just walking by.

Are you under the impression that being against urban sprawl is an unpopular opinion on Lemmy?

Thinking isn’t your strong suit.

It’s hardly just cars. They have similar lifespans in areas that aren’t so car-centric.

They get parasites. They get into fights with animals in their weight class (like racoons). They get trapped by animals outside their weight class (like wolves). Tons of issues in the wild.

My uncle has a farm with a bunch of feral cats around. I learned at a young age to never get too attached to outdoor farm cats.

And if you subvert that, you’re subverting IT security policy. Doesn’t matter if you think it’s a good idea or not.
