Looks like the man in the center of frame is leading the haka and the men to the left are also participating.

The principal doesn’t change, but the magnitude of the effect does.

Some fan designs handle restrictions much better than others. PC fans will drop to basically zero airflow with a moderate restriction, while centrifugal fans will still move a decent amount of air with that same restriction.

Probably because people are lazy and won’t clean the filters, and after a few months they wouldn’t have any airflow. Without the filter you still get dust, hair, etc, but it takes longer to get to the point where the computer is overheating for those people who do zero maintenance.

It’s kind of like how some gas lawn mowers are being sold with “lifetime” oil that doesn’t need to be changed. It’s not better, unless you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t do any maintenance anyway.

They mean the fan is rated for that amount of restriction, and will still move a decent cfm of air. Regular pc fans will drop cfm very quickly when there’s any restriction.

Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.

Every generation always thinks they’re the first…

To anyone who thinks the OP made a good point: you should read about anti-Vietnam war protests. The Kent state massacre might be a good place to start.

Yes.

It wasn’t named by IT people, though. It was named by academics. And it’s not about using computers, it’s about computing. Computer science is older than digital electronics.

You aren’t going to find that in every industry/career. Not sure what other advice I can give, but if I was in that situation I’d be looking for a career/field that uses a similar set of skills but has a better culture.

The top result is probably plagiarism because good writers don’t have time for SEO. So you got plagiarism with one less click. Progress.

Besides RAM, what resources do you think you’re saving? Not CPU cycles or IO ops, because you’re processing the same amount of DB queries either way. Not power consumption, since that isn’t affected by RAM utilization. Maybe disc space? But that’s even cheaper than RAM.

Or more importantly: the extent to which you can self-host out of sheer luck and ignorance like you suggest is very limited. If you don’t want to engage with a minimum amount of configuration, you might bump into security issues (a much broader and complex subject) long before any of the above has a material impact.

You’re mischaracterizing what I said. My point is that running multiple DB processes on a server isn’t going to have a significant impact on system load, if all other factor are kept constant.

You seem to be obsessed with optimising one resource at the expense of others. Time is a limited resource, and even if it only takes 5 minutes to configure all of your containers to share a single db backend (it will take longer than that even if you just have 2), you’re only going to save a few MB of RAM. And since RAM costs roughly $2.5/GB (0.25 cents/MB) your time would have to be worth very little for this to be worthwhile.

On the other hand, if you’re doing it to learn more about computers then it might be worthwhile. This is a community of hobbiests, after all…

No, this comic is about nominal vs actual lumber size. Both tapes are imperial.

Neither, I’m trying to explain that you don’t need to know the implementation details of the software running on your server to backup the entire thing.

Where are you getting that from? The fastest and easiest way to back up any server is a full filesystem backup, especially if you’re using something like zfs or btrfs.

I’m saying this based on real world experience: after a certain point you start to see deminishing returns when optimizing a system, and you’re better off focusing your efforts elsewhere. For most applications, customizing containerized services to share databases is far past that point.

What’s the point of posting if your comment isn’t going to be visible?

Do you have the data to back that up? Have you measured how much of an impact on system load and power consumption having 2 separate DB processes has?

Roughly the same amount of work is being done by the CPU if you split your DBs between 2 servers or just use one. There might be a slight increase in memory usage, but that would only matter in a few niche applications and wouldn’t affect environmental impact.

This argument is usually followed by the racist dog whistle “it’s unfortunately our demographic”

I’ve mostly seen it followed up by criticism about American culture and lack of access to healthcare, specifically mental health.
