Clickbait article, as well as a shit one. Trump is this context is only relevant as much as him changing US stance on NATO. Nobody is bothering to appease him here, this is all pure self preservation.

Thanks for a good chuckle!

I'd just like to point out (or remind) that .cafe does not federate with .ml. All inter-node communication is dropped.

Sorry, it's rare people are not asking for trouble here :)

I mean that any (reasonable) distance travelled at 90km/h will have consumed less fuel than that travelled at 30km/h; given the same car is used, reasonable gear is selected, etc, of course. If there is less fuel consumed, then, naturally, the emissions are lower as well, since that's just a byproduct of combustion.

While travelling at 90km/h will consume more fuel per unit of time than at 30km/h, the speed increase makes up for that.

You're arguing something else.

It's a direct correlation. Emissions come from fuel burnt. Less fuel - lower emissions.

Fair enough on the part in bold.

As someone who lives in London, I can say it does come with a caveat - traffic system here are set up by chimpanzees. It makes no sense, none of the three groups - pedestrians, cyclists or drivers - get prioritised. None of the lights are interconnected, so all they bring is annoyance for everyone. I'm an occasional pedestrian, cycling commuter and a (mostly) weekend driver.

TLDR - no wonder the study found that.

I don't really understand this. Air quality is not affected if it's electric cars. If it's about ICE cars - then, in general, efficiency goes up till ~90km/h.

I feel like the limit was lowered for a fake reason and is now suggested to be brought back up for a bad one.

I think looking for a parking space in what is, effectively, a lorry - is a bit of a waste of energy. It will only fit into >=4 spots anyway, might as well just stop wherever you need. You'll be a hated by everyone anyway.

Not taking a piss - are they legal in EU to drive on a B cat license?

That is something I've already run into at my previous workplace. The name escapes me atm...

 

Got a good chuckle out of it :)

 

All on my own!

I've heard horror stories about it taking months upon months in the past and they've been keeping me from trying. Silly me :)

It took under two days; and most of the time was trying to figure out all the problems caused by being behind a an http proxy. Looking back, I can see it can be done in a minute or so now that I've got a few bits of config nailed down.

Granted this is a very bare bones cluster atm, but applying that test nginx deployment and seeing all three replicas running, one on each node, has sent me buzzing :)

Next step - generating an internal intermediate and shoving it into the cluster.

Happy Monday!

It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I'm not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

EDIT: it's official - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2024/us/results

 

Sorry for causing all the inconvenience

 

Bloody solarwinds

 

Leaving a builder account enabled after build has completed is a fairly big oversight.

 

Everything went through smoothly, but please do report if you notice anything.

 

Lemmy Cafe will be having its database upgraded.

Reasons

  • PostgreSQL 17 has been released and the changelog is promising a lot of IO improvements. Lemmy sure could use it given the constant stream of small events flowing in.

Plan

  • Point nginx to the maintenance page
  • Shut down PostgreSQL 16
  • Run the upgrade tool
  • Start up PostgreSQL 17
  • Point nginx to lemmy

Expected downtime

About an hour, if things go well. More if not so.

Will try to keep the maintenance page updated.

Here's the timezone converter.

 

Manners maketh man.

 

This does imply a cups server being open to the internet or an already breached network.
