i don't care about that social media platform. but i do hope that new twitter becomes more popular than musk twitter. from a technical standpoint they both seem shit with AI and pay to play. but at least its not musk and i would hope he gets quite a bit pissed if new twitter takes a good slice of his matket.

if the only task is to make a system crash, what do you do to stop a bash bomb (:(){ :|:& };:)?

it will make the system crash. so if the monitoring system only checks whether system A is alive and gives the flag if not - that defeats the challenge. nerdier high schoolers surely know something like that, bc it is fun to crash your friends computer...

those could be dowels. but i doubt it, as they all seem to match the grain. it is most likely a decorative element carved into the wood.

filling them in will be the easy way to remove them. but i know i would not be able to match them convincingly. drawer right top corner has a branch there for example.

hard to say from the picture, whether there is enough material for it. but if you have access to a big enough planer, you could easily remove enough material until the decorations are gone. reworking the edges shouldn't be a problem with a router or molder.

man i would love to play MTG again. but this card is a win condition for 5. all my cards are pretty ok if they give an X/X for X mana. for X+1 mana they usually get an ability that is cool. but nothing i would build a deck around.

AI is churning out low quality products at a high rate. artists i see offer commissions around 20 bucks at a significantly higher quality than AI. while you won't get the mona lisa anywhere for 20 quid, it is about the same price as chat gpt go costs you per month.

usually you don't need the magnum opus of an artist for supporting art. you need good quality, which for an experience artist is achievable in reasonable time and money. support eachother!

maybe i should have been more specific: i did not mean the total energy usage of datacenters vs agriculture. i was talking about putting them into relation. not sure which relation makes the most sense: total PJ / total locations ? total PJ / ha land used ? total PJ / total employee ?

it doesn't matter which relation though. the business of datacenters is to put lightning into magic minerals to make funny things...

while you are absolutely right in saying energy production is an engineering problem, it is not a simple problem. water is for sure more severe, as there is a finite amount fresh water to consume. but especially now, when communities are somehow expected to pay for the increased energy usage of the local datacenter, it seems cynical to me, when you say:

Energy generation is a solved problem, you just throw money at panels and batteries for clean energy.

as humans we generally need more and more energy. while we get better at producing it, we are still struggling at keeping up with the demand. so much so, that places that decided against nuclear energy are thinking about new reactors. i won't go into the whole nuclear discussion. but i would say those discussions are telling how important and non-trivial a constant output of electricity is.

yes agriculture and especially beef is a big problem. however, this does not mean we should ignore the newly emerging problems - just because they are not as big as the biggest problem (yet). i also doubt, that any agricultural business uses as much energy as datacenters.

additionally beef is edible. the only edible thing about datacenters is the rich owner.

beavers are also a funny thing: it swims, therefore it is a fish. fish aren't animal.

i was more referencing things like @arctanthrope@lemmy.world expanded: hiding meat in dough. funny how many strategies they had to cheat a supposedly all-seeing, all-knowing entity.

at work we have expensive fans with a cheap metal mesh around them - to avoid a crying co-worker. at home i have a cheap tower fan with a weird plastic mesh - there are no visible blades on it except if i crank my neck into a really uncomfortable position and shine a flashlight into it. which one of the two can i call bladeless?

luckily i already have a devils advocate and @arctanthrope@lemmy.world dropped the name of god. how well do i need to hide my fans blade to create a Ventilationbescheißerle?

on the trojan fan · c/lemmyshitpost · 126 pts · 38d

still a miss-labeling to call them bladeless fans, just because the blades are hidden. by that logic my beef raviolis are vegetarian (tbf: the catholic church made a similar claim during the medieval ages).

Bernoulli Fan is not only more accurate, it also sounds much cooler.

recently bought it again on gog. its great fun.

but i guess i am a sucker for pirate and sailing games. in assassins creed black flag, i spent a great amount of time just sailing, listening to shanties...

didn't the 5 wizards loose most of their power and memories from when they where maiar? i guess it could be the age of the mind then... gandalf didn't loose anything when he went from gray to white.
