Yeah, if "boiling water" is one word, what about boiling sugar? Boiling milk? Boiling volcano? Boiling soup?

Adding two words together creates a new and different concept. The permutations necessary to represent every concept ever formed by combining two or more different words would be endless.

Some of them on the list, like black hole, do make sense. That's a very distinct thing. It's not a hole in the conventional sense and it's not really black. Boiling water, though, is water. And it's boiling.

Boiling point?

Out of curiosity, why not containers for OMV and Haas? QoS? And I’m dying to know what you are using openwrt for. I’m looking at setting up a Mini as well, and have been using Colima/LIMA to run containers on Rosetta/Mac vz locally and it seems to work well enough.

I assume you mean something other than OMV, ran in a container? Reason I put it in a VM was that I wanted to use a Linux compatible file system. I’m using BTRFS with raid, I’m sure I could have ran APFS in raid instead!

For haas, it was partly QoS, partly because I had historically ran all of my things separately. I might look at bringing that to the container level.

I’m using OpenWRT as my main router! One port to my LAN switch, one to the modem.

Would you mind educating me about use cases for having one or even multiple MacOS VMs on an apple silicon machine please?
traveler1 · a year ago
I have an M4 Mac Mini running the following in a VM:

- OpenWRT (previously OPNSense & once Mikrotik RouterOS) using 2x 2.5Gbps Ethernet NICs via USB-C

- OpenMediaVault (Exposing a 4-bay DAS via USB-C, 2x3TB Drives in Btrfs RAID-1)

- HassOS (Home Assistant OS)

On the host, I'm running OLlama and a reverse proxy through Docker.

The whole thing uses 7 watts of power at any given time - I've seen max peaks of 12w when running LLM queries. The drive bay actually uses more than it.

Through power saving alone, it will pay for itself in 5 years over my previous AMD Zen 2 build.

This sort of thing probably doesn't work particularly well with file auto-saving, which is almost necessary for some language servers to reprocess files to reflect "real-time" in VSCode. Aren't you also just committing half-baked work and totally menial changes?

This is going to be an interesting experiment: A widely used social network across the world WITHOUT american content.

Until now, the closest thing we had like this were national our regional networks like Russia's vk, but Vk was never truly popular outside Russian speaking countries.

Now we, for the first time ever, will have the situation where a social network has global reach but without american content.

Will it keep being a english first space? Will it survive/thrive? How the content is going to evolve? What does this means in terms of global cultural influence? Will we see internationalized Chinese content dominating it? Will this backfire for the US?

I would change the hints based on which word/line is selected, otherwise very neat.

Unfortunately the post disappeared from Facebook and the person is uncontactable.

I'm unfortunately not that important as a customer for Cloudflare to care. But it is rather chilling that they won't defend free speech.

In the future, consider hosting with the following:

* Flokinet (long standing host standing for freespeech, very seriously presented)

* Njalla (created by PirateBay founder, will actually troll any copyright trolls, but seems reliable)

* Cockbox (a silly but also likely reliable option)

Also it seems that you'd have been fine using Cloudflare without giving them any identifying details - when I signed up way long ago, they didn't ask for anything...

Some notes:

* Flokinet offers DDOS protection.

* Njalla offers Domain Registry.

* cockbox is colocated through Flokinet.

* Probably don't use cockbox...

Whilst this is theoretically a nice idea for security/privacy, wouldn’t there be throughput/latency concerns over mobile networks if you aren’t just connecting to one server and getting all your notifications in one go? One of the biggest slow downs on mobile data is the initial handshake, so repeating that for each of your apps doesn’t seem worth the trade off to me.

Sadly instead of having native apps we have "web" monstrosities... each sporting custom "fancy" UI instead of following the OS native style…

I don’t see how this is Microsoft’s fault or issue.

MS can’t prevent a software vendor from breaking the machine.

Drivers have the right to crash the system in my books - software doesn't. They need to take a stronger stance on antiviruses and kernel based software in general and push defender as the defacto antivirus for Windows.
