menschmanfred··on Bard is now Gemini, and we’re rolling out a mobile app and Gemini Advanced
Mh weird that they bundle it with storage.

Makes downgrading hard if you don't track your usage and get used to it

menschmanfred··on The EU proposes slashing pollution 90% by 2040
You believe so and criticize it.

To do what? If nothing happens it wasn't worth it to point it it.

So apparently you care enough about this topic to complain were is your solutions than to add something useful to it?

menschmanfred··on The EU proposes slashing pollution 90% by 2040
Sooo your solution is to just do nothing at all?
menschmanfred··on You Don't Hate Polyamory, You Hate People Who Write Books
I don't hate poly.

I actually don't even care?

My wife is plenty. I even take pictures or videos of things I experience and share it with her later because I want her to do the same.

And I thought about poly and I discovered that I wouldn't want to have a group chat to share this type of experience just to share it with all my partners equally.

Do people really hate others just because they life their lives different?

menschmanfred··on Learnings from our years of Kubernetes in production
Yes. But the article describes years of usage and it just isn't a problem if you start with k8s today
menschmanfred··on Learnings from our years of Kubernetes in production
K8s introduced Auto rotation surprisingly late.

Even we run into that issue 5 years ago.

But k8s is still very young and the problem is solved for 5-6 years

menschmanfred··on Learnings from our years of Kubernetes in production
Our setup works very very well.

And in smaller setups you would have a shared cluster or fully managed like gke etc.

menschmanfred··on Learnings from our years of Kubernetes in production
It's not.

The control plane is ha and you can upgrade one after the other independent of your workers.

With workers you can do that too.

That feels much less like a snowflake and more like snow.

menschmanfred··on Crypto mining company loses bid to force B.C. Hydro to provide power
Bitcoin miners want to run as often as possible.in Texas they got paid when they don't run.

And this takes away any motivation to solve problems and invest in storage etc.

It would make more sense for the energy company itself to do this but never with some other company.

Nonetheless it's a myth that we constantly have so much unplanned overproduction.

Don't forget: Bitcoin market is disconnected with the energy market.

menschmanfred··on Crypto mining company loses bid to force B.C. Hydro to provide power
Crypto would first need to catch up with all the features our banking system has like account recovery.

Besides that, the banking system is already optimized due to the capitalism behind it.

Btw. The crypto bros tell you that this doesn't matter because you should use lightning anyway (what an irony)

menschmanfred··on Crypto mining company loses bid to force B.C. Hydro to provide power
And those locations should either attract good use cases like data centers or should be incentive to solve this issue in a way that we can use it.

Like building more power lines or converting it into transportable energy like H2.

Bitcoin plays in a different market and does the opposite to this .

menschmanfred··on The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids
Those are not self aware and can't think about the implications
menschmanfred··on The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids
Yes and I like the point in general.

But we know in which world we bring humans in.

Climate change, rassism, bulling etc.

menschmanfred··on The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids
And have you ever spend time on thinking about your conclusion?
menschmanfred··on The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids
That's not a good reason for the new human it's only a good and easy reason for the existing humans.

To create their future workers/slaves.

menschmanfred··on The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids
You could have asked my why I think it is selfish.

I believe creating new life is playing 'god'.

It's easier to never exist than life life.

This has nothing to do what you thought

menschmanfred··on The New Work-Life Balance: Don't Have Kids
It's a selfish thing to do.

Nonetheless nothing I condemn.

At the end of the day it's harder not to have kids and stop this cycle than not, thanks to evolution.

menschmanfred··on macOS Sonoma 14.4 removes critical functions from the fileproviderctl command
I'm not sure on what basis you came to your conclusion but I do not have my issues with OneDrive on Mac and gdrive on Windows for ages.
menschmanfred··on Why Postgres RDS didn't work for us
Large? With 20 million?

I'm lost on the article. Sounds to me they had someone doing this without any DB experience at all.

I would not have written a blog post about an obvious choice of having some cheap nvme based 'warehouse' server.

But I do wanna see there explain statement tbh and how they store the data in their columns.
