leading to all out war and global catastrophe.

I doubt it.

Unlike your typical nice bar brawl, not everybody is actually that eager to get involved in an exchange of nukes, and alliances get sometimes weaker when the risks get higher.

I wasn’t getting into the literal size of bomb impact areas vs global surface area.

Of course you are free to build your opinion on whatever speculation you like the most.

Did you know that a good share of all American nukes are mounted on short range missiles that can travel only 100 km or so? Some people were considering funny scenarios there…

The truth is stored on their harddisks. But the truth may become very illegal very soon.

They better move the whole thing out of Usa now.

I’ve always had my robot vacuum in HA since the day I started using it.

He’s been saying “fully autonomous” by next year for literally like 10 years, lol. Short memories indeed.

I just never heard that he announced it like 3 months from now! 🤣

Isn’t it the same with the Jehovah’s witnesses announcing the end of the world in 3 years, then in 2, then in 1, and then… silence?

But of course he will never be able to do that:

Silence.

I suggest to read about Hiroshima, and what really happened there, and afterwards.

Here’s a good book: Hibakusha: Survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki https://a.co/d/8KS4RXC

One bomb kills people in a circle of 10 or 50 km (I forgot), and injures people maybe 100km around. Then it does damage to nature maybe even 1000 km around. I live 2000km from Chernobyl, and we had some warnings regarding vegetables for a year or so.

But the planet has a circumference of 40.000 km. Now let your thoughts run around the planet.

an effective deterrent to war

Do not fool yourself. Nukes have NOT achieved that on their own.

It has always been humans who were somewhat responsible and willing to communicate (diplomacy) instead of shooting blindly.

Top 100 means about half of all countries.

So many people having their fingers at the triggers. There would be many unreasonable and evil ones among them.

We would have nuclear war every year.

Not in these next 4 years.

Afterwards, if judges still exist, you can try to force Tesla (with the help of judges) to allow your right to repair.

miniPC cluster

Thank you! You got me thinking here. Maybe several minis are better than one fat new ryzen with so many cores on an ATX board? But the mini’s fans are usually ugly loud when doing some real work.

I need to read actual benchmarks and then compare…

I am looking for the same right now. So if you find it, tell me please.

8 SATA is quite a lot. I would rather like to have even more :) because here’s my old raidz gang of disks and there comes my new…

I have seen some offers on Aliexpress with ITX boards but I don’t trust them.

Maybe it is better with a normal board and an expansion adapter?

The world outside my doorstep is a really complex net of chaos

You are right. Another word to describe it: it is lacking structures. That’s where man comes into the picture: You. You can create structure.

Having that wonderful and powerful ADHD brain too, I found that I need to find and create structures within myself first. Then I can go on and give structures to the world outside.

One important step is to describe structures in explicit words. Often write them down or draw them on real paper, in order not to forget on the next day, or after an eventful weekend (for me it’s always the weekend - Monday morning I am so empty and I need to start with reading all that I have done at the end of last week).

Another good approach is to describe and define goals and strategies. A goal is where I want to get. A strategy is the order of steps needed to get to the goal.

Somebody explained it to me like climbing the mountains. You can’t just wander around there and hope to find a way sooner or later because you would get lost inevitably, and your force is limited and your day runs out etc. So you have to look at a specific point and say “There it is where I want to go!”. Then you look and think and decide and say “This is the way, and these are the steps to get there!”. And you cannot start before you know the way. But when you know it, you can go and start your climbing.

This is great advice.

should I do

Read. For example the tutorials in the openwrt wiki. I found them quite helpful.

before flashing Openwrt

Nothing… except the exact prerequisites for the flashing itself.

Your network config comes afterwards.

when I could have just bought SSDs.

…for 5x the money

Paywall :-(

Tesla really has cracked autonomous driving by summer, as Elon claims

He really says that??

He must be sooo desperate LMAO

Wouldn’t the bot simply limit the depth of it’s seek?

tech could leak to US

No fear. There is a strong wall…

Anyone using Google’s DNS servers is already going out of their way to use an alternate DNS

But I have heard that Chrome is already bypassing classic DNS and uses Google by default …

…which is derived from SGML.
