Yeah, probably won't even dismantle it, just bulldoze this 10 billion dollars into a pit and bury the lot. Then go spend another 10 billion on a shiny new tent+compute
If you're not creating more than 800GB a day of new data you can just let it run with a faster drive as a buffer in front of it.
Or get 10 of them and run them in parallel. Maybe get 11 and throw in a bit of parity, just in case bitrot surfaces after the first 1000 years or something.
It's often not possible on other operating systems. Especially the consumer versions of a certain operating system starting with "W", that system will refuse to have duplicate IPs.
But essentially it's always been possible (but, probably not preferred these days) to have redundant routes/paths on Unix systems. The way you have it now is more of a side effect of being able to do more complex network setups, like using different interfaces to talk to different subnets, or using a slow link as a backup to a fast link.
With your current setup you should get a slow failover ability, for example if you ping some other device and then unplug your Ethernet cable, you'll have a bit of a pause in replies and then they will start again as the stack switches to the other link.
I don't get it? The water doesn't disappear it just goes back into the air again as it evaporates
Water in the air is useless. Water on the ground, in storage, is useful. That's the hard part, it doesn't fall out of the sky on demand.
If the government is running out of water then they should build more desalination plants, in terms of energy
The "government" isn't the one running out of water. It's the population, and desal plants a) aren't cheap b) use more power than what the bare minimum of renewable energy a data center install will provide after it's own usage and c) has environmental issues as well with excess salinity getting put back in the oceans, and - oh yeah - you have to put it next to the ocean.
If companies want to build datacenters, they need to provide cooling methods that don't use prodigious amounts of water, or they can fuck off.
Those alternative methods are entirely possible, it's just that they're not the cheapest option available, so of course nobody wants to do it .
The "metric 600" on your Wi-Fi adapter indicates to the system that it is a higher cost route than your Ethernet one. So the IP stack will prefer sending packets out via the Ethernet port.
Local devices who haven't heard from you lately will send to whatever device gives them a response to their ARP ("who has IP address X?") request first, and seeing as Ethernet is lower latency than WiFi, they will mostly use your Ethernet adapter as their target when sending data to you.
Devices that have received data from you already will have the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter in their ARP table, so they'll just send packets to that without bothering to issue an ARP request.
Devices off your subnet talk to your router, so they don't care about your MAC address, they'll just use IP to talk to your router, who will then do the ARP request and hand the packets on to your computer via whatever interface answers first.
Orrrr - and hear me out - maybe that rag-tag collection of state and federal governments you've got going on over there in the US should have a way of online filing that's free?
You know, like how most civilised countries have been doing for the last decade or so.
Yes, they artificially limit the reach of your posts, and then you pay them to get more exposure. You can also pay to have your posts more visible to particular demographics.
And of course that payment is on a sliding scale, and no amount of money is enough to reach all of your target audience, and it's also for a limited time window.
There’s a cost to maintaining the grid and it was easy to just charge a delivery or grid fee per kWh but with battery that doesn’t work, not unlike fuel taxes supporting roads (in theory).
In Australia, there is a split between generation and sales. You have generation-and-electrical-distribution companies, and then you have retailers who purchase MWh in bulk from those companies to resell to consumers. There is a market for electricity where the spot price varies wildly depending on what supply dominates at any particular time.
For the consumer this boils down to an infrastructure fee of approximately AUD 1.10 to 1.50 a day, and then metering is usually anywhere between 0 to 50 cents per kWh, both depending on your plan and the time of day.
So I can get plans where electricity costs me nothing at certain times of the day, but then costs me 60c/kWh from 4-9pm, so I set my EV to charge during the day and stop during that peak period. I can go and buy a battery and hand over control of it to the retailer, who can use it to balance their MWh purchases from generation. Then sometimes you can get $30 in a few hours during peak evening time from your retailer when "cheap bulk electricity" is absent and they can sell your battery energy on the spot market for $$$.
The whole system gives a lot of options, and while it's no doubt not the best solution, it's something workable for the future.
Best I can do is a single t-intersection on a 80km/hr road with no traffic lights to gain access to the whole suburb and roads so winding and narrow inside the suburb that you couldn't fit a bus in there even if you wanted to.
But I will throw in a bus stop (sign) on the other side of that entrance for that bus that only runs three times a day to the CBD at 9.15am, 12.25pm and 6.25pm, how about that?
The beamwidth of Voyager 1's antenna is about 0.5 degrees. In practical terms, that's very narrow, about an 8 metre wide beam at a kilometre distance.
At its current distance, by the time the beam reaches Earth it is 224 million kilometres wide, 1.5x the distance from the Earth to the sun.
Now imagine the light from a car's taillights lighting up the back wall of a garage as it reverses in. Then spread that same amount of light out over that 224 million km wide beamwidth. That's what Voyager is putting out and what the Deep Space Network dishes have to listen for.
Don't dump a truckload of unsolicited information in my inbox/workflow/field of view.
Otherwise you're as bad as door to door religious folks. Oh yes, I've heard about Jesus, thanks. Now let me get back to what I was actually doing a few minutes ago before you begged for my attention.
Works great because it's got a lightweight desktop, and it has a tool (a GUI tool even!) that seamlessly merges the last available Nvidia 340 drivers for my GPU into the latest kernel. Parked at the desktop with no desktop apps running, it uses about 800MB of ram, leaving 15 GB left for whatever I need to run. Which I have found is plenty for my use case, I've never seen swap in use.
The MX tools are good, like everyone else has been saying here. They take away a lot of the fiddly business associated with the average "sysadmin" things that an end user needs to do.
That's a phase change triggered by a seed crystal (generated from a physical shock from the 'clicker') where the transition from liquid to solid phases returns the latent heat that was previously added to turn it from solid to liquid.
There is no phase change in this material, it remains a solid and changes temperature depending on how much pressure is applied to it.
