  • Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

  • No, they don't. Businesses just send their negative data to the Schufa.

    I worked in that area for years, and unless you're actively trying to tank your score, the Schufa is almost useless for all sides, and maybe businesses only use them to filter the really bad cases.

  • That's a completely different thing.

    Your Schufa Score is only relevant in very few cases, as long as it's not super super bad. Due to data protection laws, the data they're allowed to keep of you is very limited and thus the usefulness is much lower for businesses.

  • You could easily throw the components into an old tower case.

    Getting the PSU to fit could be a bit tricky due to the rather short cables.

  • Workstations, like real workstations, are another beast and not what's typically referred to as "office PCs", those are indeed rather sff builds.

    Again, optiplex sff 3060 as an example, it has two SATA ports, one x16 and one x1 (I think) PCIe, and looking at the PCB, apparently there's a version with m.2 slots. Sure, not exactly server grade storage, but if you manage to find some version with m.2 slots or invest 10€ for a cheap SATA card, you can get enough storage attached.

    GPU wise, absolutely no idea. My optiplex has a wx3100 that I got for cheap and its self reported power draw never goes under 5W, but since this machine is a desktop, it doesn't run all day.

  • Sorry, but you're either pulling those numbers out of your ass or haven't kept up with the real world for 25 years.

    The numbers I've posted above are measured using an external meter. I'm German, I have a vested interest in knowing how much power my devices pull.

  • And you don't think, office PCs pay attention to power consumption, given they are intended to run 8h a day?

    My optiplex sff runs at about 10-15W in idle, and it's an i5 6500. The t variant in my elitedesk runs at 5W.

  • I mean, that sometimes did happen.

    Germany propped up the Commerzbank after 2007 by essentially buying a large part of it, and managed to sell several tranches with a healthy profit.

    Same is true for Lufthansa during COVID.

  • The mastodon devs decide what to merge, though. If they don't see the value of a feature, they won't merge it.

    If you want to extend the protocol, sure, go ahead. But you'll be alone on it, since no one outside of your protocol island can use that specific feature.

  • I recently learned that mastodon (the animal) literally means breast tooth, because some thought their teeth (or tusks?) looked, well, breasty?

  • What I find surprising is that so many people (i.e. you) still claim to fact check everything. You don't. I guarantee it.

    Most people don't read news for a living. You can't fact check everything you read online. That's physically impossible. And if you'd be honest to yourself, 95% of headlines you read are just noise and you don't read any further. Not because you're too stupid, but because you're not that interested in Trump's latest shenanigans or Italy's economic outlook.

  • All this gate keeping is bullshit, but I do have to agree that we are really bad at actually engineering.

  • How do you solve dynamic DNS?

    Jump

  • If you don't need actually public DNS, something like Tailscale might be an option.

  • Or at least not permanent.

    I grew up in the early 2000s and while starting somewhere around 2005 cameras and the first social sites became a thing, nothing of that exists today. Myspace and SchülerVZ (German Facebook clone) were super popular, but don't exist anymore. Camera phones didn't have an easy way to export photos and most hard drives from back then just died at some point. There's hardly anything left. And that's a good thing.

  • How could digitial age verification be possibly implemented with privacy in mind?

    Jump

  • I get what you're trying to say, but I'm not sure it makes sense.

    I mean, that's literally every field you're not an expert in. And most of us are experts in less than one field.

    You don't know about medicine, car engines, electricity or tax laws, you have your guys for that. Even in our field, we have guys for databases, OSes, networking, because quite frankly nobody understands those really.

    So I'm not sure what the point of your comment is. That having experts is good? Yeah, I guess? Did we need to have that reinforced?

  • Privacy is almost always a double edged sword here.

    Making all medical records of everyone available to science would catapult us 200 years in the future...

    ... but it would also lead to extremely widespread discrimination against a whole bunch of people, throwing us back 200 years.

  • I'm not sure what these things have to do with each other. How exactly would cryptography have prevented SBF, you know, a crypto bro.
