That really is one hell of a hot take 😀

I for one really love the zoomed out preview on the right that has become popular in recent years.

Really hard to do in a terminal. If you have errors you can see very fast where they are located/clustered in the file and can already tell just by the shape of the program where it is.

Another example: GUI color picker directly in my editor as a tooltip above color values in css/html templates.

Another example: inline preview of latex or Template fragments.

But it’s a gigantic waste of energy and time when you could just download a 2mb package and be done with it.

That’s why you do regular restore tests on separate systems. That should be standard procedure for any company. A fully encrypted disk should be noticable immediately.

If your backups are online and not in a warehouse, you are doing it wrong. Even my own personal backups are on disconnected disks. What a bunch of amateurs.

The model looks awesome!

Would you share the blender file? I’d like to play around with the render settings/lighting. It feels like the light transport is off somewhere. The shadows and highlights look a bit artificial still.

I get what you mean but please read the study: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41347-023-00304-7

They themselves note that the very small sample size would be an issue. They say they would need 78 people for even remotely confident results, then they initially targeted 74 people, of which 20 dropped out.

Let me be clear that I too want to believe that social networks are bad for people, but studies like this one do very very little to provide any meaningful data to base my opinion on.

Sample size, 50 students. Lol nothing to see here. This has no value whatsoever.

For a handful of servers, try zabbix. Every distribution has a packaged zabbix agent. It has everything: web ui, a way to Auto discover things with a bit of setup, nice graphs, alerting, LDAP User Management if you need it, a way to define per person/group alerting/notification schedules. And the community is big enough that many common services (fail2ban/postfix/MySQL/etc.) have premade custom monitoring scripts. Adding your own metrics is also very easy.

That’s in no way a rich people thing. Polluting less often means that stuff people are used to will cost more or will be less available.

The greens in Germany suggested that maybe meat is too cheap and people should eat it less and maybe also don’t drive your car so much. And a good chunk of the population lost their fucking mind at the audacity to suggest doing something in two sectors that massively contribute to climate change.

The reality is that effective action against climate change is hugely unpopular and politicians realize that it’s often political suicide because people hate change and there is no way to combat climate change without lifestyle changes for every single citizen.

I don’t know where you take that from but the super rich are a tiny tiny fraction of the problem. They don’t buy containerships full of stuff, they don’t eat millions of animals per day, they don’t constitute the vast majority of travel.

Yes, on a per person basis they have an extremely large footprint, but it’s still a drop in the bucket compared to the industries that feed the consumption of the average citizens.

Honestly by far the best subscription I have.

13€/month to never see ads on any device, give a lot more money to creators and free access to YouTube music so I don’t need Spotify anymore. It’s amazing how much you get for comparatively little money.

For personal use, I don’t bother with databases on k8s. They are waaay easier to manage if you just let your host distribution run it as a regular service and Upgrade it through that

Good first attempt!

My recommendation would be to work on the lighting or render settings some more because for a night scene, many surface look to bright or not illuminated currently.

If you upload a blender file, we could take a look.
