Therefore the laptop is the disk controller and if you gracefully shut down the OS it will take care of all the housekeeping tasks to prepare a disk for safe shutdown (flush cache to disk, park heads on spinning rust, etc) and then it will be safe to turn off the PSU.

Why she look like the racist mom from Hotel Transylvania 2?

How utterly performative of him. Brave brave Ro Khanna, the leader who can garner no real support! Woe is Ro! Please send $85 now to help FIGHT the injustice of Donald Trump

It’s not just your perception - your actual atoms slow down in “time”. This is because any movement they make, from their vibration alll the way up through chemical reactions and physical movements, from your metabolism to your thoughts being transmitted through your neurons, will require acceleration towards light speed from their already high speed.

The faster you move through space, time literally moves slower- you sacrifice one for the other, like a ratio.

Replace Real Engineering with Practical Engineering for me

If you shut down the computer gracefully first before you power the disks off it should be ok more often than not, but you really should try to have everything on the same system so this can all be coordinated by the OS and the hardware.

As others have said, avoid powering the disks off before the OS has had a chance to shut down or your disks will NOT be in a recoverable state when everything comes back online.

I’m not even sure the setup you are describing would benefit at all from a different storage method, even “regular” writes could be in memory or controller buffers. External drives are not meant to have their power cut.

Don’t worry, pretty soon they will just block password managers from autofilling fields on their login page so that you HAVE to remember your password! Then you’ll be happy it can’t be that long, you can only fit so much on a post-it note on the side of your monitor

EDIT: I think there should be a law against blocking password managers for filling in fields. Any brute force bots are going to submit HTTP requests directly anyway; no one is hitting the DOM to do that

Avoids tariffs if you print them yourself

I never auto-delete automated crap. Mark as read and stick it in a folder outside Inbox. Leave it alone until retention policy auto-deletes it.

They’ll know you received it either way. If they want to flood you with useless crap that you could just as easily ad-hoc if you actually needed it, make them pay to store it.

Just don’t be like my customers who auto-bin emails that come from our fucking ticketing system, are created by a human, and are asking for specifics on their request.

It was like “people who would never play GTA trying GTA and reacting”

I wonder what this woman thinks of being immortalized for this moment

There will be replaced with a Cup Agent from OpenAI

The problem now is living with someone who doesn’t do this and then you expect it to be balanced because you take the time and effort to be precise as a show of appreciation for the others around you so they don’t befall the same fate that YOU now must suffer as you discover the eggs are now unbalanced and they spill all over the floor, because they didn’t happen to hyper focus these exact thoughts and how could they be so inconsiderate after you put in so much effort to focus on this to prevent this exact situation

Bro life is too exhausting wtf

This hits so hard at this exact moment

Not as readily recognizable; but on the other hand, if you recognize Jesus then you already know this is incorrect.

Where’s that painting of Moses with the tablets? That’s probably better

Yep. Well, yeah that and the CIA interference.

But seriously? Same thing happens under capitalism too. It’s not so much the economic structure as it is the desire for total control. Why do we so fetishize molding the world to our will when given the opportunity.

Sick little monkeys we are.

I didn’t realize how precise a shared experience this was

You only want to sideload so Apple’s recommendations don’t know what you’re really up to all day playin’ anime dress up 🤨😉

I had a double NAT setup like that. Run a firewall like OPNSense as a Proxmox VM, and give it a WAN interface on the ISP router’s IP range; then run everything else on a different subnet, using OPNSense as the gateway. On the ISP router, put OPNSense’s WAN IP in the DMZ. Then, do all your hardening using OPNSense’s firewall rules. Bonus points for setting up a VLAN on a physical switch to isolate the connection.

The ISP router will send everything to OPNSense’s WAN IP, and it will basically bypass the whole double NAT situation.

Physical in EU is 90€ for some reason but I thought US physical was still $80

The orange menace apparently just defunded it so we’ll see
