It'll be quite telling to see what Apple says when this claim from Apple is proven false:

"Claims that we’ve shifted this approach or policy are completely false."

Ok. Start with all new datacenters. Require them to be built with infrastructure that allows for throttling of servers to occur when the utilities want to throttle.

This isn't good. Then again, the amount of power going in to these CPUs is way too high.

Take the AlphaServer DS25. It has wires going from the power supply harness to the motherboard that are thick enough to jump a car. The traces on the motherboard are so thick that pictures of the light reflecting off of them are nothing like a modern motherboard. The two CPUs take 64 watts each.

Now we have AMD CPUs that can take 170 watts? That's high, but if that's what the motherboards are supposed to be able to deliver, then the pins, socket and pads should have no problem with that.

Where's AMD's testing? Have they learned nothing watching Intel (almost literally) melt down?

Microsoft is making it too easy to convince people to use anything else. I'm moving several people to BSD (Linux is too messy).

Examples?

Doing anything can be life threatening. We don't need to assume that people who decide to do a thing are the same as you.

Anyone who claims that pointing out the difference between new and used is the same as telling you to ignore the used market is just an idiot.

Did you read the article? The administration's excuse / explanation is that it's not illegal to remove data because it already exists elsewhere:

> said the information will be housed within NASA to comply with the law

So you think they'd accidentally misconfigure DNS, then explain that the site has been brought down because they comply with the law some other way? That doesn't make any sense, and suggesting this might just be a mistake in light of this information just makes you seem like an apologist.

You're right that you didn't say all. What you did write implied you use them for "AI protection", although you didn't say you did do that.

So if I wrote, "You would put" instead of "You put", then what? Would you be comfortable using their "AI protection" simply because it's free?

This is orthogonal to the discussion.

Serious question: You put Cloudflare between all your domains and all your visitors without looking in to how this would affect your site's reachability? If so, that's interesting, considering that many people in this community are negatively affected by Cloudflare because they're using Linux and/or some less than mainstream browser.

You might want to read some threads on here about Cloudflare.

That's hopelessly naive. A "misconfiguration" is the excuse they use after the fact when there's enough outrage that they have to put things back the way they were.

Is it just me, or is the site not working right now? It loads, but it doesn't show the date, and the buttons don't seem to change anything...

While this has lots of generally good advice, handwavingly dismissing IPv6 because of the lack of understanding is one glaring shortcoming. After all, systemd could be described as (leading) 'to all sorts of strange behaviors in different networking contexts".

One thing the author does not mention is using other storage instead of the SD card. One can boot from or root on NFS, or a USB attached disk or SSD, and have much greater reliability. I'm running several Pis like this, with constant use, sometimes with heavy swap usage, and at the same time with half year to year long uptimes.

It is good to see the recommendations, though, and I look forward to trying the hardware watchdog, for instance.

There aren't many companies I'd trust for stuff like this. Mullvad definitely stands out. I'll be looking forward to giving this a try.

The performance is incredible... Now when will AMD put some real effort in to reducing power usage?

That's nice, but who is behind this? Why should we trust them?

I wonder if anyone has made it easy to run the Pi Hole software on regular Unix-like systems without containers and without machine specific binaries. Perhaps I'll have to give that a try some time.

You're conflating a few different issues: the newness of a domain, and the quality and cost of of your VPS.

Some email providers don't like brand new domains, yes, but if a domain is brand new, nobody is going to immediately start using it for mission critical things. That's just common sense, although now I want to buy a domain to see how much of an issue this really is.

The cost and quality of a VPS means very little because if a VPS is on a network with a poor reputation, one can easily smarthost through a mail provider that has a good reputation.

Likewise, people can run servers at home, or they can colocate, or whatever, and don't have to run a VPS at all, although I think you're just generalizing and aren't suggesting that people can't use other servers.

It's absolutely amazing to compare Adventure on the Atari 2600 with a fancy, ray traced game today. What's even more amazing is that both have the ability to capture our attention for hours. It just goes to show how significant of a role imagination plays in games.
