    Also my first idea, but I think that'd only make sense if it's a few centuries old and completely forgotten about creating weird superstitions. There's nothing actually dangerous about long-term nuclear waste storage, all of these markings would exist mostly to prevent people from digging in the area and potentially uncovering the waste.

    Not to mention that it'd have to be a very small area, nowhere near the size of a single city – nevermind a whole US state.

    Exactly, automation shouldn't kick some people out of jobs and leave others just as overworked as before, it should automate things that don't absolutely need humans and just decrease the workload of (currently) irreplaceable people so that more people can work as much as one did before and still get the same salary.

    Hell, unemployment as a whole should not exist in the modern era. If there's "too few jobs", decrease working hours and increase wages accordingly so the total monthly/yearly/whatever pay is the same. And if there just physically aren't enough resources to accomodate so many people having decent salaries (which is absolutely not the case right now), then we should start talking about overpopulation.

    I could be wrong but I don't think there even is a way to fully prevent adblocking without something like the proposed web integrity API, since it's all clientside and the browser can easily just choose not to render any ads.

    Overall I do agree that less people using adblocks means less attention from corps and less adblock-blocks like youtube's, but I'm conflicted on whether that's a good enough reason to have most people suffer through so many ads.

    Yeah, it's insane we still have to deal with this in 2023.. and it's even worse for trans people, "transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely" and all that.

    There are people who aren't financially independent yet that are facing the very real possibility of getting disowned by their family and thrown out on the street if they come out as anything but cishet. It sucks, but keeping this kind of information private can be lifesaving.

    https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2032

    I wasn't able to read the actual paper since it's behind a paywall, but it's not exclusively a TL model. They say this in the abstract:

    Deep space observations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that the structure and masses of very early Universe galaxies at high redshifts (⁠z∼15), existing at ∼0.3 Gyr after the BigBang, may be as evolved as the galaxies in existence for ∼10 Gyr. The JWST findings are thus in strong tension with the ΛCDM cosmological model.

    While tired light (TL) models have been shown to comply with the JWST angular galaxy size data, they cannot satisfactorily explain isotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations or fit the supernovae distance modulus vs. redshift data well.

    We present a model with covarying coupling constants (CCC), starting from the modified FLRW metric and resulting Einstein and Friedmann equations, and a CCC + TL hybrid model. They fit the Pantheon + data admirably, and the CCC + TL model is compliant with the JWST observations. [..] One could infer the CCC model as an extension of the ΛCDM model with a dynamic cosmological constant.

    Look, I'm sorry but I have better things to do than arguing about why putting blobs of solder on your HDD's contacts isn't a good idea. I'm not gonna stop you, but I don't think you've convinced anyone.

    The contacts are gold, which definitely doesn't oxidize any more than solder considering it, y'know, doesn't oxidize in air at all ever. The solder doesn't really add any contact surface area, and even if it did, it makes no difference for digital signals. "Better conductivity" doesn't improve digital sigs either. And why would the contacts ever disconnect?

    I can't confirm the last paragraph, but HDD manufacturers could just move the PCB closer to the chassis and/or make the contacts' springs a bit stiffer to achieve the exact same thing, which is slightly more pressure between the contacts. That's literally all you're getting here.

    DON'T DO THIS, at best it'll do nothing and at worst (muuch more likely) you'll short and kill your HDD.

    The whole point of contacts is that they aren't soldered, the transmit current by physical contact. There's a matching pair on the HDD chassis:

    How feasible would it be to use one computer as a combined server/desktop with virtualization? https://lemmy.starless.one/post/6050

    I currently have a 24/7 linux old-office-PC-turned-server for self-hosting, and a desktop for mostly programming and playing games (linux as a host + a windows VM with a passed-through GPU). The server's i5-3330 is usually at ~10-15% usage. Here's the actual idea: what if, instead of having a separate server and desktop, I had one beefy computer that'd run 24/7 acting as a server and just spun up a linux or windows VM when I needed a desktop? GPUs and USB stuff would be passed through, and I could buy a PCIe SATA or NVMe controller I could also passthrough to not have to worry about virtualized disk overhead. I'm almost certain I could make this work, but I wonder if it's even worth it - would it consume less power? What about damage to the components from staying powered 24/7? It'd certainly be faster accessing a NAS without the whole "Network-Attached" part, and powering on the desktop for remote access could just be a command over SSH instead of some convoluted remote WoL that I haven't bothered setting up yet. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Edit 2 months later: Just bought a 7950X3D and use the 3D V-cache half of it as a virtualized desktop with the other cores used for running the host and other VMs. Works perfectly when passing through a dedicated GPU, but iGPU passthrough is very difficult if not impossible since I couldn't manage it. Edit even later-er: iGPU passthrough is possible on ryzen 7000 after all, everything works great now.
