Outside of shows I watch or music I listen to, I have been this way for ages.

Because he’s basically announcing what the administration will try to do.

I’m certain there’s a reference here I am missing.

Now that’s a feature I can get behind.

As a former sysadmin, I approve this message.

Well a lot of people choose to watch vapid things instead of learning things. These are the people I am talking about. It’s not some conspiracy, it’s a choice or a flaw in their character.

If only the people that believed this BS were swayed by facts or made any attempt whatsoever to live in reality.

Yeah I find them quite useful for “explain to me how this works” kind of stuff whereas for “how do I do this” kind of stuff I try to find a primary source to verify against just to be sure.

LLM’s have provided me pretty good info where a Google search didn’t, but there’s always that concern that the info isn’t right.

I’m not sure you can call them liberals, but maybe the tankies on .ml is who he’s referring to?

Burn it!!!

Wait, I just did some research and it turns out I’m partially wrong about this.

While I am correct that you can’t cool in the way we do on earth by bringing cool air to carry away the heat, there is another way to cool things as used by space stations and satellites.

That is you can take the heat and radiate it into space as Infrared radiation. IR radiation is able to travel through space as it is made of photons.

Indeed now that I think about it, that’s why how our FLIR detectors work on earth too. They can measure the infrared radiation that is one of the 2 ways things vent heat even on earth (the second being by exchanging heat with another fluid such as air or water or something more exotic). It turns out that about ~1/3 of radiation from a radiator is actually infrared light while the other ~2/3 is fluid heat exchange, usually with air.

So I am wrong. I’m not sure how effective this would be for the amount of heat generated by servers, but it’s not actually fully disqualified as I thought it would be.

It’s a vacuum. Which means that there aren’t atoms to get hot or cold. Which means there is no medium with which to exchange heat to cool something down, unless you are willing to bring a bunch of your own air to blow over the servers and then vent into space. Which means bringing an awful lot of air with you.

A server sitting in the vacuum of space would quickly over heat for lack of ventilation (if it didn’t get destroyed because it wasn’t structurally engineered to run in a vacuum).

*Switch 1, not Switch 2

Leopard, meet face.

Good catch. Fixed.

Yeah I would never buy one that wasn’t plug in. And the size of my city, Prague, is a lot more conducive to the range of a plug in hybrid than the average American city might be.

She’s gunning for a run at the presidency, mark my words.

It’s all “traffic”, “new users”, and “engagement”. I’m sure Spez is over the moon telling his handlers about all the growth.

Leave it fucking shut. Nothing good will come out of this government.
