snorrah··on Impressions from a first-time Mac user
What a useless comment. The post is from someone new to Macs. You have completely failed to grasp the context and got immediately defensive.
snorrah··on Using Ansible and Nomad for a homelab (part 1)
it’s an entirely usable system that can be used as shell script replacements to full virtual machine provisioning.

it does not matter if the language is a “kludge” if it suits the purpose. Ansible suits a lot of purposes and is worth exploring as a free technology.

snorrah··on Using Ansible and Nomad for a homelab (part 1)
Nothing about this makes sense. You have misinterpreted the comment you are replying to.
snorrah··on Using Ansible and Nomad for a homelab (part 1)
I think the point was avoiding exposing things to the public outside of your lab. If everything has an ipv6 address, you need to concern yourself with firewalling things off yourself.
snorrah··on Intel gets worse, but Power11 might get better
"Pluton will also prevent people from running software that has been modified without the permission of developers."

I don’t understand, why is this a downside?

iPhone, sure. Tesla? Not a chance. Their build quality is abysmal.
snorrah··on Apple Joins Blender Development Fund
Check out the Blender Secrets ebook. A fantastic resource of tips and techniques for working in Blender.
snorrah··on The Tesla Dojo Chip Is Impressive, but There Are Some Major Technical Issues
I would argue it’s always useful to see their tech deconstructed and explained. If nothing else, so we get an idea what the reality is to counter possible outlandish claims from overly-enthusiastic followers of the company (and its CEO)
snorrah··on One-Shot Free-View Neural Talking-Head Synthesis for Video Conferencing
Nothing about this is nice.

snorrah··on Robinhood is automatically initiating GME sell orders on users' behalf
How bad for RH is this exactly, if some people affected weren’t margin trading?

oh god /etc as ‘etsy’? no way. never heard it called that, don’t want to (british)
snorrah··on Skynet – Build a Free Internet
hey don’t call yourself Skynet.

names tainted.

snorrah··on Cyberpunk 2077 has involved months of crunch, despite past promises
They said crunch was happening in October. Why is it news again now?
snorrah··on California Voters Exempt Uber, Lyft, DoorDash from Having to Reclassify Drivers
Apparently some drivers did not want this.

“Drivers and labor groups opposed Prop 22, saying it would allow companies to sidestep their obligations to provide benefits and standard minimum wages to their workers even as they make billions.” From https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/04/california-e...

snorrah··on Shapez.io: open-source base building game inspired by Factorio
Have you considered using —depth to reduce the size of your clone?
snorrah··on Facebook abandons broken drilling equipment under Oregon coast seafloor
No, seriously, just go set a reminder to catch up on this story in 6 months. Let’s come discuss this again then.
snorrah··on Facebook abandons broken drilling equipment under Oregon coast seafloor
They won’t
snorrah··on I've worn Alexa-enabled glasses for two weeks. They're driving me bananas
Take them off.
snorrah··on New ‘Meow’ attack has deleted almost 4k unsecured databases
It’s 2020, where security should be at the forefront of almost any tech endeavour. It’s not something to think about afterwards, not any more.

If, given the frequent and public attention to hacked data, you aren’t thinking about how to make sure your data is safe, there really can’t be any sympathy when you get hit by an attack that relies on zero security applied to your database.

C’mon, do we as an industry really learn NOTHING from all the hacks we’ve lived through ?

snorrah··on New ‘Meow’ attack has deleted almost 4k unsecured databases
Because some people just want to watch the world burn.
snorrah··on New ‘Meow’ attack has deleted almost 4k unsecured databases
Yes, so that you always keep security in mind.
snorrah··on Apparent absence of covid transmission at hair salon with face covering policy
As I understand it, asymptomatic carriers can still be tested and found positive just fine. It’s not the symptoms developing that lets you get a positive result, it’s the virus being found in the samples.
snorrah··on Apparent absence of covid transmission at hair salon with face covering policy
That sounds like an unethical control test and would therefore not be considered.
snorrah··on A Facebook crawler was making 7M requests per day to my stupid website
Surprise, Facebook not caring about playing nice with others!

Anyway, what reason would they have for so many requests? Why would they need to do 300 per second?

snorrah··on How Much Is a Human Life Worth?
$10 million is the current value of life, with the article ending by suggesting it’s probably worth less by now.
snorrah··on Homelab: Intel NUC with the ESXi Hypervisor
That was quite a thorough and interesting post, I was pleasantly surprised! :)
snorrah··on Show HN: DNS over Wikipedia
Does this comply with the terms of service? I know this won’t be a popular reply and that’s fine, but I just want to know whether your admittedly intriguing concept isn’t taking the piss :)
snorrah··on We’re working on 1M Covid-19 testing capacity per day
Your site states you use a “proprietary machine learning algorithm”. As someone who has seen a gamut of companies use the machine learning phrase to justify almost any conceivable product, could you share any non-confidential information about what you achieve using ML?
