Comment on 47-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft just fired up thrusters it hasn’t used in decades in ~space
bo0tzz Link Parenthttps://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/engineers-investigating-nasas-voyager-1-telemetry-dataVoyager 1 is currently 14.5 billion miles (23.3 billion kilometers) from Earth, and it takes light 20 hours and 33 minutes to travel that difference. That means it takes roughly two days to send a message to Voyager 1 and get a response.

For example, I need to deworm my cat monthly. Say I do that on the 1st of May, it then should happen again on the 1st of June. If, however, things go drastically awry and I don't get to it until the 10th, the next deworming should be on July 10th, not the 1st! Similar structure works for things like mowing the lawn, cleaning, etc. Nothing I've found so far is able to manage this sort of recurrence.

It's only the big initial import that really brings machines to their knees.It'd only run again on the newly added assets, which a smaller server should be able to handle.

Comment on Unpopular opinion: Capitalism is a better ideology than socialism or communism because greed is a more tolerable emotion than fear/envy in ~talk
bo0tzz LinkI disagree. I am not a communist because I'm envious of "rich capitalists" who have more than me.

The envy is that the "rich capitalist" has a lot more resources than I have, and/or the fear is that the wealth inequality may increase even more due to inflation and my resources will naturally decline over the due course of time.
I disagree. I am not a communist because I'm envious of "rich capitalists" who have more than me. I'm a communist because in this capitalist system, those "rich capitalists" being rich is built on other people being poor and oppressed, and because I think that everybody should be able to enjoy the best standard of living that we can give them, rather than a few people taking all the good things for themselves.

If you steal your Tildes session cookie from your browser and add it to your feed reader, that should work regardless of 2FA until the session expires (which looks to be after a year?). That is assuming Tildes doesn't do fancy stuff like binding the session to your browser, but I think that's probably not the case.

I'm with you on this, but I think that's exactly the trick fascism plays - promising good things to the "good people". I think the above-mentioned "majority of enfranchised Americans who wanted to cast a ballot cast their ballot for fascism" doesn't refer to those who the fascist image directly appealed to, but to those who were willing to ignore that clearly fascist image for their own gain.
