Good article, but ugh… flipping houses that you know are going to be flooded soon after is just evil.

Powerful part:

Even if he doesn’t call it anxiety, he admits he sometimes has trouble focusing, and there’s a tenseness in his body that can be hard to shake off. But he’s usually able to turn it around by talking to his friends or elders, or by reciting his favorite proverb:

“They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.”

“It’s not about what I need, it’s about what my community needs,” he said. “There is joy in caring for one another. There is joy in coming together to fight for a future that we believe in.”

I ended up with a second hand APC 1500. Contrary to some other models you can just monitor it with a standard USB cable, just the power cables with these inverted plugs are a bit hard to get these days.

Cheaped out on UPS, now I have three basic small ones I have no use for (they work except the battery isn’t good anymore). Would have been better spend a bit more right from the start.

Here we luckily have ample rain, but all the farms are just growing maize as animal fodder. Aside from some greenhouse grown vegetables there is little that could feed the local population should the supply chain break down, and I suppose it is a relatively good situation compared to many other places.

Well, they pretty much messed up attempts at vertical integration, which leaves them as a chassis designer and parts assembler in regards to electric vehicles, which just doesn’t have sufficient margins to support their hugely overblown administration (full of former politicians).

My sympathies to the people losing their jobs, but this really comes at no surprise given the many management blunders in recent years.

This is kinda the same idea but made for what you originally asked for: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

This is so painfully obvious that I have a hard time assuming good faith argumentation when people come up with the “population question”.

Reading such articles, I feel like a hermit or something. I never stopped doing these things they describe as “going back to” and thinking about it, there really isn’t any such algorithm I ever used or felt a need for.

There is https://hypersomnia.xyz/ but it is 2D top down. Pretty tactical though.

This is only the theory. In the end there is still a chip doing the routing that has a total throuput it is capable of regardless of the direction.

The routing equipment at the distribution boxes is likely a limit. Both in regards to power consumption and heat production, plus especially with older equipment the total throughput it is capable of.

If you have a 10GBaseT connection, only using 5Gb in one direction doesn’t give you 15Gb in the other. It’s still 10Gb either way.

That’s just a question of adhering to standards. The chip that does the routing internally has a total throughput and that is obviously both directions combined.

A factor I noticed here with my fiber ISP that hasn’t been mentioned: total bandwidth of the router that comes with the contract.

While this is finally changing now, the cheap SoCs that where used for building these mass produced routers topped out at about 1.5gbit total throughput.

So to avoid people complaining about false advertisement and still sell ”1gbit" fiber, the maximum they are offering is a 1000/400 Mbit connection.

Yes, this is a good observation, but the question is what is really the cause of this? Clearly it isn’t economics alone. I would guess it is mostly due to specific family dynamics and this wouldn’t necessarily extend to non-biological extended “families” of your choosing.

Well, that’s good, but a lot of trust was lost in the mean time and I doubt I’ll go back using it.

It’s likely Cloudflare related. Some of the larger instances are behind that, but many of the smaller ones aren’t. Cloudflare isn’t only a problem for VPN users, so its a good idea to avoid those instances as a user. You can still interact with their communities via Federation.

No, they found some billionaires to do it 😉
