I wanted to propose that WH40K make a new Chaos God of Capitalism…and then I thought about for 5 seconds and realized they did. The Emperor. The Emperor is a god of capitalism. Which is an interesting (to me) perspective on the franchise. So, thanks for that random completely unrelated Lemmy comment.
If they’re considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they’re planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.
They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.
There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.
There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.
And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.
Some large asteroids have moons too.
Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That’s actually roughly the mass of Mars’ moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).
no no, the end user will somehow find the exact position in which the switch starts arcing and then they’ll work by the light of the fire in their walls.
I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.
If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.
pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.
And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.
Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?
Is saying “I wrote code in assembler” not functionally equivalent to saying “I wrote code in GCC?”
Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.
That is an excellent episode. It would probably have been my fourth pick. That or Arena, the Gorn don’t get enough love and while the episode is cheesy (more so then the rest of TOS), it’s a classic. But I had to go with Mirror, Mirror. The mirror universe episodes in any trek are some of my favorites.
Out of curiosity, which of your three TOS episodes did I miss?
TNG: Drumhead, I, Borg, and Chain of command (or if you don’t want a two parter, take your pick of Q who, Measure of a Man, or Yesterday’s Enterprise)
DS9: In the Pale Moonlight, Inquisition, and It’s Only a Paper Moon.
VOY: Living Witness, Tuvix, and Year of Hell (or again, if you don’t want a two parter, go for Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy)
TOS: The Devil in the Dark, The City on the Edge of Forever, and Mirror Mirror.
ENT: Similitude, Regeneration, and In a Mirror Darkly (don’t really have a good non-two parter to suggest over In a Mirror, Enterprise doesn’t have a lot of great standalone episodes IMO)
Movies: if you want to use these as examples, The Wrath of Khan for TOS and First Contact for TNG.
And I don’t really have a list for LD, PIC, DIS, SNW, or PRO.
Edit: for VOY, I might actually put Author, Author over Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy.
Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.
I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.
Or scripts for basically any other variant of the Bourne shell. They are, for the most part, very cross compatible.
Might be a bit late on this, but ProxMox doesn’t really handle assigning threads to the e/p cores. That’s handled by the kernel and as long you’re running kernel version 6.1 or greater you should be good on that front.
If you really need to, you can also pin specific VMs to specific cores. So that if you’ve got something that always needs the performance it can always run on the p-cores and things that aren’t as demanding can always run on e-cores.
That said, especially if you’re over provisioning, it’s probably better to let the scheduler in the kernel handle thread assignments.
If I’m reading your example right, I don’t think that would satisfy three either. Three copies of the data on the same filesystem or even the same system doesn’t satisfy the “three backups” rule. Because the only thing you’re really protecting against is maybe user error. I.e. accidental deletion or modification. You’re not protecting against filesystem corruption or system failure.
For a (little bit hyperbolic) example, if you put the system that has your live data on it through a wood chipper, could you use one of the other copies to recover your critical data? If yes, it counts. If no, it doesn’t.
Snapshots have the same issue, because at the root a snapshot is just an additional copy of the data. There’s additional automation, deduplication, and other features baked into the snapshot process but it’s basically just a fancy copy function.
Edit: all of the above is also why the saying “RAID is not a backup” holds true.
I don’t think this meets the definition of 3-2-1. Which isn’t a problem if it meets your requirements. Hell, I do something similar for my stuff. I have my primary NAS backed up to a secondary NAS. Both have BTRFS snapshots enabled, but the secondary has a longer retention period for snapshots. (One month vs one week). Then I have my secondary NAS mirrored to a NAS at my friends house for an offsite backup.
This is more of a 4-1-1 format.
But 3-2-1 is supposed to be:
Three total copies of the data. Snapshots don’t count here, but the live data does.
On two different types of media. I.e. one backup on HDD and another on optical media or tape.
With at least one backup stored off site.
I can’t speak to AI performance, but given you’re stated goal of lower idle power consumption, I’d go with the 14900K, not the KS as you have listed.
Reason being the $250 price difference between the two, when the KS is just a slightly higher binning of the K with an additional 200MHz on the boost clocks. With that higher boost being something you’re unlikely to practically see without a substantial and robust cooling system, I don’t think it’s worth the extra money.
The reason I’d go with the K over the 10940X is the lower limit on it’s power consumption. The E cores are very efficient and can down clock substantially meaning it idles at really low power. The 10940X doesn’t have that benefit.
Beyond that, I’d say look at IPC, per thread, per max sustainable clock of each core, to get a general out look on performance.
Note: all of the above assumes we’re working within your listed options. My actual recommendation would be an AMD 7800x3d or 9800x3d.
Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you’re going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.
But if your hand is forced, it should always be 2x-10x the actual estimate, depending on the complexity of the task, and never less than 2 hours.
