Scroll_Swe··on Choosing a Public DNS Resolver
Was about to comment this. I actually don't like advert or malware blocking on my public DNS resolvers. It sounds cool but annoying when it misfires.

Once Quad9 blocked Halo MCC XBOX Live -> Steam achievements, several fileshare services (probably used for malware somewhere but not my usage) etc...

1.1.1.1 blocked archive.is or got blocked by them or something...

Gone back to Google DNS (gasp) for now, yes as a European... no blocking, fast, never goes down.

So you can take advantage of the money but cry when ROI comes?

Alright. Here in Sweden I had 27C MAX.

Totally doable

Looks like it will top out at that.

We have had plenty 30C+ weather.

Costal helps. The elite.

Normal people will not know what Steam even is.

They will buy a PS5, Switch or Xbox.

If you know PC gaming you will just get a gaming desktop. With newer hardware.

Because a console is a console.

Look at the PS2. Incredible games on bespoke custom harware.

We didnt know how good we had it.

You frame "not bothering" as if its a checkbox with "enable IPv6" to check and all done...

Put all work into reorg, for what? Some numbers to change? Why when IPv4 works?

Scroll_Swe··on Swiss parliament lifts ban on new nuclear power plants
Nice bait

Okay so we turn off all nuclear like Germany?

Now what?

Scroll_Swe··on Swiss parliament lifts ban on new nuclear power plants
Base load generation.

Yes, we have hydro.

Wind is way too unpredictable, solar is too.

So, we can only have 2 powers to provide base load in Sweden.

Fellow Swede here, what is crazy is I also learned this from this thread.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_France

The electricity sector in France is dominated by its nuclear power, which accounted for 71.7% of total production in 2018, while renewables and fossil fuels accounted for 21.3% and 7.1%, respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France

SVT or SR has never shown me this, wonder why...

And what is crazy is we, in Europe, act and talk as if we cannot do anything without sucking up to USA or China.

We also have massive Hydro in Sweden. We can see what is currently giving us electricity.

https://www.svk.se/om-kraftsystemet/kontrollrummet/

oh and dont get us started on the electricity zones and germany...

Turn on Barsebäck again... absolute asenine they shut it down. Will never happen, been too long, also owned by Uniper... (Germans)

And sadly S+MP+V will win this election it looks like. Say goodbye to any new nuclear power. Also it will be 2015 all over again but that is off topic...

>A pleasant dose of humanity in decidedly inhuman times.

As opposed to when?

Do tell.

I see this crap so much online. You just want an excuse to give up and be a victim. I hear it online and irl. You young people are broken, broken yet you have everything.

How old are you, and where do you live?

Life is better now than ever. I in Sweden can buy everything, access everything, and I own my apartment. Problem?

As opposed to what?

WW1? WW2? Vietnam war and corrupt nixon? The cold war when Russians accidentally invaded Sweden? Nuclear bomb fear? the 90s debt crisis? 90s balkan war? And refugee crisis? 9/11 and all that? 2015 refugee crisis?

When?

What do you compare to?

The truth is, life is getting better. All the time. We had 10% unemployment in 2016 and even worse in 2008 when I graduated. Grow up.

Answer the question. My ego? I am not Steve Jobs or Gates.

I live in Sweden but I worry about my country due to online freaks like you. Fair?

I am Swedish so I know.

BankID I like as it is now for authority stuff and I understand its need. The alternative would be everyone rolling their own auth and MFA, would be bad.

Now imagine all social media tied to your BankID. This is their wet dream.

Scroll_Swe··on OneDrive data now has an expiry date
I am talking about companies to be precise.

Office 365 was and is a godsend compare to running Exchange and massive SANs on-prem...

They knew this so Office 365 at first was literally only email at first so people could stop having OWA on prem open to the web.

I get the irony lmao

But Big Data was just a large SQL set for companies internally. Usually. The sinister part would be adverts and tracking I guess if that is what you are fishing for.
