  • As someone managing KnowBe4 for our Clients, I'd actually let you pass with it... ;D

  • [Mega thread] - Biden ends bid for presidency
  • Well, that's probably a pretty good argument. I wish it would be different...

    Personally, I think we need space to solve climate change faster (or rather, the effects it has on us - climate change is a pretty intricate factor of the climate itself, but we need to be better prepared for those changes and mitigate some of them), U.S. politics are very influential around the world and that pick would hopefully influence ESA and their funding more...

  • [Mega thread] - Biden ends bid for presidency
  • From my European point of view, i just hope she picks Kelly as her VP. A progressive Astronaut, Ambassador for UNITED24 and someone that knows that we should save us from the ultimate climate collapse...maybe we can get Alexander Gerst here in Germany to do some politics :D

  • [Mega thread] - Biden ends bid for presidency
  • Not American either, i just hope she chooses Kelly as her VP...a progressive Astronaut in politics is more important than ever.

  • Fossil fuel extraction compatible with climate action, says COP29 host Azerbaijan
  • I simply do not understand those people. You want to keep driving, selling and making internal combustion? Then do it with synthetic fuels, ffs. It's already roughly the same cost when considering everything. Efficiency doesn't matter for those clowns anyway.

  • Sen. Tom Cotton introduces bill to block anti-Israel protesters from getting Biden student loan bailouts
  • Do they care? And from my European perspective, it looks like your Executive and Judiciary is completely broken..

  • Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changes
  • That's also something I absolutely do not understand...yes, being disappointed is pretty normal in a democracy, it's always a compromise. But not hammering down the facts what Democrats did this period to actually help every American is just Mind boggling.

    Especially 6 Months before an election, here in Germany you can't stop any politician yapping away with what they have done. (Although, positive or negative always depends on one self...)

  • World passes 30% renewables milestone for the first time, decline of fossil inevitable
  • Been driving Synthetic Fuels for a year now. Doesn't have to be EV - there are more ways to curb Fossile Fuels. Funny enough, the Synthetic Fuels are going to be cheaper in 1-2 years, because of CO2 Taxes...maybe, just maybe, things turn out okay-ish.

  • I've been, too. Even though I'm neither in the US, nor a US citizen... It's scary right now...

  • Julian Assange's sexual assault accuser is "happy" he's free
  • I like to think I can keep the artist separate from their art, but it’s hard.

    You can't, but in some cases the art stands for itself without the artist. Basically, you can separate the Art from an Artist, but not the Artist from the Art. (if that makes any sense...)

  • I hate Clouds - a personal perspective on why I think Clouds suck
  • Why on another continent? Except maybe VDI, some direct calls to some LLM or some insane scales, there's nothing really that needs those round trip times.

  • I hate Clouds - a personal perspective on why I think Clouds suck
  • I would say it’s a very bad metric though in this context.

    Full-ACK.

  • Russia launches "social rating" platform to determine a person’s comparative “social status”
  • Luckily "the West" isn't just the U.S. - it's also France, the U.K., Mexico and even Australia...

  • I hate Clouds - a personal perspective on why I think Clouds suck
  • the storage is built so it doesn’t break so easily. I trust AWS engineers more than Mike, no matter how cool Mike is to hang out with. Additionally, if the storage breaks while Mike is on vacation we’re screwed, with the cloud you get a whole team 24/7 on it.

    That's easily mitigated just following established standards. Redundancy is cheaper than anything else in the aftermath and documentation can be done easy with automation.

    you can prevent data loss with backups or multi-region setups with a few clicks/terraform lines. Try telling the PO that you need to rent datacenter space in Helsinki and Singapore for redundancy…

    You don't, you rent rack space in a location far enough away but close enough to get the data in a few hours.

    It's neither superior, easier or less risky, it's just a shift in responsibility. And in most cases, it's so expensive that a second or third on site engineer is payed for.

  • Russia launches "social rating" platform to determine a person’s comparative “social status”
  • The west does not have a monopoly on innovation.

    Nope - but it does look like we have the "monopoly" of being able to call out bullshit openly and not fear falling out of a window. Or being stabbed.

  • French election 2024 live: exit poll shows shock win for left-green alliance as far right falls to third
  • I disagree - the Working Class want's a mix between the original SPD and the original FDP. Those that want more right for the workers and those that are self employed. Because everyone thinking straight knows, we need immigration. However, we need a new set of rules. The AfD pretty much does play the role of "Bauernfänger" (the literal translation of "Scam" doesn't work), as we say. All of those AfD Politicians that have actual seats have done shit over the years.

  • First time correlating a crash to a CME (probably Bit-Flip/SEU)

    I've been running my most recent Server built for quite some time now. I think Uptime was somewhere around 5 Months. Absolutely flawless. A few Days ago i started to have issues. Hard-Locks, Freezing...but absolutely zero log entries. Nothing. The Server was built with "off the shelf" Hardware and no ECC (even though the Ryzen CPU technically supports it, at the time ECC 3200 MHz Memory was still a lot more expensive than it is now) and is running a ZFS. Risky business, but it's "just" a home server. Would never built a server running mission critical stuff like that (and I've been doing that for over 10 years now as my main job). Over the last few weeks, i've been trying some stuff and had a pretty high memory load.

    In any case, i also like Astrophysics and have some newsletters about Auroras and so on. They are extremely rare, here in southern Germany to occur. Yesterday we had one of the biggest and brightest I've ever seen.

    But it got me thinking about my hard locks and crashes and i remembered, i had an account for ESA's SSCC (SSA Space Weather Coordination Centre). They have something called "Post-Event Analysis", where you can correlate certain timestamps to real time data, for example from DSCOVR ("THE" Space Weather Satellite).

    For Auroras to occur, the so called "Bz-Value" is important. Basically, it tells the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field. If it's direction is towards the sun and towards the charged particles the sun throws at us, they get deflected. If it's with the direction of the solar wind, the particles "come in" and produce auroras...because the charged particles charge other parts - they generally charge oxygen, which results in green auroras - they also can do all sorts of stuff (and that's why spaceships, sats and other stuff floating around in space need shielding). The Value is measured in nanoTesla(nT).

    There's also the Kp-Index...which was 7-8, out of 9.

    So yeah - i'm pretty sure, i experienced a Single-Event Upset/Bit-Flip. Amazing stuff!

    PiHole local DNS Config understanding issues

    Hi,

    been running PiHole with my FritzBox as DHCP Server for a while now. Just got Fibre and the new router doesn't support "only" setting an upstream DNS (neither does it support setting a domain suffix/local domain). I've switched the DHCP off and now PiHole does DHCP as well.

    The FritzBox and the new Router added the domain suffix to recognized hostnames automatically, so even if i set up a fixed IP-Address on some device or machine, i could always use the hostname.local.domain without having to set a reservation.

    Can PiHole/AdGuard/Technitium even do this? Do they need some extra configuration? PiHole does recognize the Hostnames correctly for some devices, but most are missing: For example, my Proxmox host was reachable with "pve.domain.local", it isn't with PiHole, even though PiHole identified the hostname. My Homeassistant isn't recognized at all, even though the IP-Address is showing up in PiHole. The Domain under "Advanced DHCP Settings" is set up.

    Am i misunderstanding something or did i configure something wrong?

    Thanks!

    Als Jeremiah Thoronka, 23, am 14. Juni 2023 die Bühne des Greentech Festivals auf dem stillgelegten Flughafen Tegel in Berlin bestieg, gekleidet mit einer schwarz-weiß gestreiften Tunika, um seinen Preis als Erfinder eines revolutionären Energieerzeugungssystems in Empfang zu nehmen – einen goldenen...

    > Der Umstand, dass die Recherche keinerlei technische Daten zu den beiden Anlagen in Sierra Leone zutage fördert, steigert die Neugierde noch ein bisschen. Vor allem aber gibt es ein Problem technischer Natur: Sollten Thoronkas Angaben auch nur halbwegs zutreffen, er könnte mit zwei Anlagen dieser Art 1500 Menschen und 15 Schulen mit Strom versorgen, dann müsste ihm eine Entdeckung gelungen sein, die das gesamte Fachgebiet der Piezoelektrik völlig auf den Kopf stellt. Was erst recht die Frage aufwirft, warum kein Fachmann und kein Fachartikel davon weiß.

    Mag jemand noch ein paar Globulis?

    Two routers - one exit point?

    Hi,

    for various reasons i have two routers. (In fact, one is a FritzBox hosting various SmartHome stuff, another is a Speedport from Telekom Germany, that also does the Internet Connection) The WiFi on the FritzBox is also a lot better and right now i don't have any need to get anything better (all that matters has Rj45 anyway).

    This however also is an issue, because i can't easily host something. I have however a Hetzern Server as well and i have tried some zerotier, but i have failed to set it up correctly. Is there an easier way or has anyone something like an How-To for this that works?

    Thanks :)
