What's the simplest way to rewrite the data without actually copying the data? Like in place rewrite - you write what you read.

>> sunlight takes about 30,000 years to work its way out from the centre to the surface of the Sun

> What? Why?

I had the same question, and it looks like there's lots of variation with the number. For instance, this website (https://scied.ucar.edu/learning-zone/sun-space-weather/insid...) says it takes "millions of years."

Also, has anyone though of how mind-numbingly wasteful solar fusion is? All that energy, and only a tiny fraction makes it to Earth with the rest getting dumped wastefully into space. Seems like an area that's ripe for disruption by a startup.

That energy can be captured by a Dyson sphere:

Is someone working on a Nomad fork?
hpb42 · 2 years ago
Maybe Incus[0] as an alternative instead of fork.

In case one wants to switch from Hashicorp to alternatives that are similar enough or forks, what would that stack be?

Hashiternative stack:

- vault -> openbao (fork)

- terraform -> opentofu (fork)

- consul -> ?

- nomad -> slurm + something that runs/orchestrates windows jobs?

- hcl -> dhall + nix?

Oh, cool. They implemented a `download_more_ram()` function![0]

Does it crash safely as well? I did not test it, I more than 640 KB of ram.
