Usually a lurker.Maybe I should've just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment...

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • I am listening to the raw sounds of my own ambient recordings.What I have recorded so far: Waves at the beach in Calabria, Italy and the nightly concert of frogs and crickets in Sri Lankahttps://on.soundcloud.com/Q7iqssGRtnLNQW8ivg

    I use them if I have trouble sleeping

  • Hell yeah.But I dislike the records. I am instead listening to the hourly background tracks.

  • What I hear right now:Tuomas Holopainen - The Life and Times of Scrooge(Genre: Celtic, Heavy Metal (don't agree with claim lol), Symphonic Rock, Rock)Various - 攻殼機動隊 MEGATECH BODY.Cd.,LTD (Genre: Electro, Tech House, Techno)

    Various other songs for which I am to lazy to list.Usually EDM or J-pop/rock.

    Some Artists:(label) Monstercat Uncaged/SilkAkatsuki RecordsStarsetDECO*27shiey

    Edit:Forgot to mention, I mention, I really like the releases of "Eye" -> https://open.spotify.com/artist/3zqz8Khnygbv4LJia0v0iY (if you dislike spotify, the artist is also on YT) Specifically "Majestic Sadistic" and "Domestic Drastic"

  • How much, I can't say. Not my pay grade :p

    But for peak demand they can assume a certain amount from historical data or expected load for something special (like an exclusive report everyone would like to read about).And lunch hours arent shifting around much. So you could schedule more load balancing during the hours of 11am to 3pm in advance.

    Just depends on your usecase I guess.

  • They are now animated

  • The end result is the same:You control what the machine does. The data as well as backups (assuming you arent using specific hardware offerings but just compute and storage)

    Example:I am done with AWS pricing and Azure gave me a fat stack credits to go over there.Agnostic VMs could be backed up and migrated over to Azure.Essentially the same as migrating Hyper-V or VMware to Proxmox-VE

  • What I read so far:The dynamic scaling is what makes it worth it.Many of the traditional hosting offerings just give you a monolithic VPS/dedicated hardware.But if you want to up/downscale depending on peak demand during lunch hour it get's complicated.

  • Most of our customers are priced out of the hardware we bought zhrough the official distributor channel.They hiked the prices to 100% of the previous batch.Meanwhile we bought what we could from numerous resellers to make it DIY.

    Not many small customers can afford to drop 10k on a mid/low tier enterprise grade hardware (2x 1.92TB TLC SSDs, RAID controller, Intel E-2434, 64GB DDR5 RAM)A few months ago this was (fully assembled mind you) around 2-3k

  • More in line of protecting against synthetic copy cats than piracy but k

  • Personally I dislike how helpless and useless it makes my fellow colleagues at research.No thought given, use the first web result (and in most cases, just accept the AI output as search gospel).

    In my case it's only used for very obscure issue descriptions my google-fu isnt sufficient enough for or correlating weird bugs with each other.

  • No, admins neither should have access.Backups should (best case) be immutable.

  • IONOS and ImpossibleCloud for instance are ones we use.I think Hetzner and OVH also offer S3 buckets.

  • There are numerous other vendors with S3 API-compatibility.

  • Not if you want to validate S3 compatibility for an actual future use case or, * can you imagine*, just for the fun of it.

  • Tbf non Gen-Z would also struggle if we'd remove their internet sevices suddenly.It feels like everyone in the cushy countries more or less forgot how to exist outside their world

  • Great.Now you can be responsible for why group policies arent applying and the user is not able to access drive shares.

  • Oh they have a whole cemetery of a city in the basement.

    Still doesnt excuse it IMO.

  • Fuck no. I don't want Brave stuff in my browser :(
