  • Not within the computer’s lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server’s root filesystem.

    I’m pretty sure their arguments boil down to “big company bad” as systemd is developed by Red Hat. Putting a single entity’s products in charge of several basic functions of the computer (like booting, init, daemons, networking) is seen as a bad idea, especially Red Hat which disgraced itself by making the RHEL source code available only to customers (which does not violate the license), but so far I don’t know of any solid evidence of security holes caused by either incompetence or malice.

    Apparently, that specific conversation was in Mandarin, and Steve was the only member of the media present who spoke Mandarin. I’m pretty sure that appending a simple “thank you Steve from Gamers Nexus for translating” would’ve been sufficient, especially since Linus wants to look like they’re such good buddies.

    I think that link does the same as the direct link icon with the fediverse icon on Lemmy. I can’t figure out the mechanism it uses, though. The HTTP request is just empty and sh.itjust.works is displayed immediately. I expected at least a 301 redirect or a script to execute location.replace() but I can’t see anything.

    As for the image, the embed mechanism is probably different on Mastodon and doesn’t translate at the moment. (I don’t even know if they support standard Markdown let alone the Lemmy flavor)

    Let me see…

    Looks like that would be a mixed result. Still, I commend the team behind the interface for getting federation to work.

    Let’s not pass judgment on an entire nationality based on the crimes of their head of state and his hand-picked government officials. Otherwise I’d have to ask you if you’re ok with Americans, Chinese, Koreans, et cetera flooding in, by the same standard. Double edged sword and all.

    If you mean “Russians” as in “Russian-speaking monolingual”… that would be a valid point. I’d like to keep the community as primarily English, but might not be able to keep foreign language posts and comments out. I’ll have to think about it, and I’m open to input regarding languages.
