I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • Any Klingon speakers around who play Arc Raiders by chance?

    Jump

  • I can't even do "vacation" Klingon lol. All I know is Qapla' means "success!" and you call someone a petaQ when you want to insult them.

  • Do you think you’d be able to identify a given Gatorade’s color just by taste?

    Jump

  • Considering I can't even identify the flavor by the label, I'm gonna say, no, probably not.

  • What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch?

    Jump

  • An unmanaged switch is just a single plane where all ports are equal. All ports share OSI layers 1 and 2. Anything you plug into port 24 can always reach anything you have plugged into port 3.

    Managed switches (also sometimes known as "smart" switches) provide additional features on top of that. The most useful is VLANs (virtual LANs) which let you segregate traffic. Two ports on different VLANs share the same physical layer (layer 1) but are separated at the data link layer (layer 2). This lets you create up to 4096 different networks on the same switch; each network is isolated from the other. If port 24 and port 3 are on different VLANs, then they will not be able to communicate unless they can reach a common router at layer 3.

    Additionally, managed switches let you do things like disable/enable ports (for security, power savings, etc), enable port mirroring, and combine multiple ports into an aggregation group (e.g. bond four 1 Gb links into one 4 Gb link).

    The available features on a managed/smart switch vary by manufacturer and, often, by the license level (sadly common in enterprise gear). VLANs, port control, mirroring, and LAGs are usually common "baseline" features, though.

  • Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?

    Jump

  • Which begs the question why not magnets at the top of the building to help pull the electricity up?

  • Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?

    Jump

  • Guess it depends on the height, but yeah. Otherwise, we manage to pump a town's worth of water to the top of a tower well enough. From there, gravity can do the rest.

    But there's probably a point where cost for that vs height becomes prohibitive.

  • Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?

    Jump

  • If the costs of engineering a tower is more than just buying more land, then why build taller?

    Figured it'd be something like that. Explains why they get built out in the middle of nowhere since land is cheap.

  • Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward?

    Jump

  • Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive.

    Probably a bit of "hiding in plain sight" that way, too. There are a few big datacenters relatively near me, and they're massive compounds in the middle of even more massive corn fields. Kind of stick out like a sore thumb when you're driving by.

  • Jellyfin Dongle

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't know about pre-installed with Android that aren't ad platforms masquerading as consumer hardware. I'd never use one unless it was supported by LineageOS or something. My comment was more "roll your own" in nature.

  • In a public park, you can absolutely ask random people to leave your party area. Not the park, but the space you are using. Double so if you've gone through the official channels to reserve that section.

    And that goes both ways: If someone is having an event and one inserts themselves where they're clearly not invited, then that person very much has issues respecting others' boundaries.

    It all boils down to people respecting each other.

  • I'll take your word for it, though I assume it is the case. Like I said....it's just the internet doing what it does (for better or worse).

    "As an American" (though speaking only for myself) when I see those, I don't even go into them because my opinion wasn't solicited. I also don't throw out my opinions in non-American news/politics communities for the same reason. Also, I wish that was a two-way street.

    Go into the various "Ask" communities, and you'll see things like this constantly:

    Women of Lemmy, what's something that...?

    As a man, I .....

    Americans of Lemmy, what is your favorite...?

    As a European, I....

    Definitely mildly infuriating when people just butt in when they're explicitly not the target audience of the question. If I'm somehow doing that with this reply, lol, I apologetically appreciate the irony.

  • Jellyfin Dongle

    Jump

  • Maybe one of those HDMI "stick" PCs you can get? There's x86 Android builds you can run or you can do like I did with my media PCs and boot into Openbox and just launch a fullscreen browser right to Jellyfin and control it from your phone. (My main setup uses Emby but should be able to do the same with JF).

    I've actually got a portable Jellyfin server I take with me. Built on the OrangePi Zero 2W with a USB->NVMe acting as media storage (as well as the Jellyfin DB). It's got several other services running as well as a second Wifi adapter so it can also act as a travel router.

    For playback, I pretty much just use my laptop or phone but have thought about adding one of the "stick" PCs as a client for it.

  • Shut up and take my money: A working Bluetooth TNG Combadge

    Jump

  • Laptop-style speakers may be just enough. It would be tight and maybe the badge would have to be enlarged slightly to accommodate it, though.

    I did a deep clean of my laptop not long ago and was surprised at how tiny and flat the speakers actually were. They won't fill a room, but they're enough for light music or a Teams call at arm's length. Granted, it might not be good in a noisy area, but that would be a problem for the mic as well (not to mention public speakerphone use is kind of frowned on lol).

  • Shut up and take my money: A working Bluetooth TNG Combadge

  • Would love to have one of those. Guess I'll have to settle for 3D printing one and hacking up a Bluetooth headset/speaker to make it work.
