  • last year when Serinus changed the moderation policy that the “narrative” that trans people are not real or are mentally ill or whatever to not be considered hate speech and thus not to be removed automatically, following the similar change at Facebook.

    wow, that’s wild. they do have quite a few highly questionable decisions, to put it gently. maybe we should treat them like we do .ml, and encourage people to move to other instances, while generally not participating in their communities



  • this shit stirrer ex-googler really does not understand the signals people are giving… apparently the community response is “hilarious”, the moderators removing their toots at both instances are “overzealous” for acting upon multiple reports and giving a proper hilarious removal reason.

    “everyone is dumb but me!” lol… (not a quote)

    this person is really butthurt that people are telling them they have acted very irresponsibly.






  • It seems you don’t understand the idea, which wouldn’t be that people would be forced to disclose their identity on social media. Instead, social media would be required to check that users are who they say they are.

    that makes no sense whatsoever. you are saying your name is “Hapankaali”. do you have any documents proving that you are actually “Hapankaali”? if you don’t, how are you planning to prove you are who you claim to be?







  • or didn’t have a defense against a 0 day.

    firewalls are not for defending against 0 days. it is about access control, and reducing, sometimes even minimizing access to potentially vulnerable services. firewalls are not an infallible security tool, but there is no such thing either. the reason to use it is to restrict access such that fewer attackers can take advantage of a potential vulnerability.

    there are intrusion detection/prevention systems that could do more, but it’s unlikely they will protect against 0 days, because 0 days are undiscovered and unknown issues.

    So the vlan doesn’t do anything either way.

    it does. its useful to force traffic through a firewall. its for limiting what has access to what. if you wouldn’t use vlans, hosts on the network would not care about your firewall because they can just go straight to the destination.

    I’m not sure I understand your argument, but I think what you say is, firewalls are not infallible so they are useless


  • Then I was not sure what you meant by this:

    I don’t actually know if this is the right way to calculate it, but if for each disk you count the time separately, and add it together for a combined MTBF, then that is 20 out of the 136 MTBF years.

    5 years of drive runtime for one drive. 20 “years” for 4 drives, 40 “years” for 8 drives. I say “years” because the way I mean it is like this: running 4 drives for 10 minutes is 40 minutes of combined drive runtime. running 4 drives for 5 years is 20 years of drive runtime. I think calculating it like this can be compared to MTBF. but again, I’m not totally confident that it really works this way.

    All in all, I am at this point only trying to track down and relay what I’m seeing about SAS vs SATA.

    I think it might be because SATA drives you normally run across, especially in laptops, are not the enterprise kind, but consumer drives built from cheaper components and simpler designs. and those are lower quality. while SAS drives are always enterprise grade.

    but still, in my experience SATA drives can have a long life too. but it may be more unpredictable than enterprise SATA/SAS drives

    HP says that SAS is more reliable

    could be controller chips and cable quality. but also, SFF-8644 type SAS connector can be used to attach a drive to multiple HBA cards as I heard, maybe even multiple machines, for redundancy
