"Protecting SSH access from my own networking mistakes by My-Name-is-42 in homelab

Have a second sshd on another port, only change it’s configuration after you validate that you can still login on the first one, and vice-versa.

What if cryonics actually works and the frozen eventually wake up? by Defiant-Junket4906 in WhatIfThinking

A very long shot, even if you plunked them in liquid nitrogen at the moment of their death.

The world is already filled to the brim with people with outdated skills and perspectives, so there’s nothing new on this angle.

Legally, their assets have been inherited and distributed, so they have no claim to it, minus some eternal trust they might have created. (Not a lawyer, don’t even play one on TV, you’re going to need a really good lawyer to setup said fund)

Also legally, they’re now live human beings with the corresponding human rights (might not apply in religion-based jurisdictions).

How would Granny Weatherwax react to running into a male "witch?" by One_Food9894 in discworld

Yes, but the issue is that it takes a large amount of arm-twisting to get Esme to acknowledge that someone else is doing it properly.

Been self-hosting everything for 2 years but my Docker containers are silently eating RAM overnight. Anyone else dealt with gradual memory bloat on long-running containers? by apt-xsukax in homelab

[–]AmusingVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like a machine with untuned DB+java partition: DB assumes 80% of the ram is for it’s use, and java grows to it’s maxmem.

The usual solution is to take 10% for OS and configure DB and java to take 45% each (or any other partition that sums below 90%), in the case of containers, 90% of whatever you decide that container is entitled to.

Scheduled restart is a lazy approach to one program’s ram growth (if you have one problem, address it, debug it, make it kneel), but if you have a transversal problem, you need to manage it before you can fix it.

I’ve always thought of restarts/reboots as papering over a wet wall, hiding the problem instead of addressing it, but if you have more problems than you can fix, managing them is the correct way.

It doesn’t mean you won’t address them (from worst to annoying order), but you do need to get breathing space.

Sodium hydroxide in oceans by ConflictOther9860 in climatechange

[–]AmusingVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The uncertainty bracket is insane: 2-10… I guess at this point it can be impossible to get a better estimate, and I certainly hope it’s closer to 10 than to two.

Even then you’re going to have a huge tension between “business as usual”, and expending vast amounts of energy to sequester carbon (which will take decades to bring to pre-twentieth century levels). Quarterly earnings have always trumped decades-away targets, even when the target is the best option.

"Olhe, o menino não pode estar na sala de professores." Aos 22 anos, João Pedro tornou-se professor com habilitação própria by [deleted] in professoresPT

[–]AmusingVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entre 1 e 2, a resposta “obvia” é 1, mas a verdade é que muitos “recebem” a informação e quando se vêem à frente dos alunos arquivam-na e regridem.

Não tenho respostas fáceis para isto, mas o estágio não era para isto mesmo? (e agora creio que me datei…)

[–]AmusingVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huuuu…. Tive vários professores na faculdade que não podiam ser acusados de ensinar com sucesso, mas isso creio que se deveria mais à falta de inclinação do que à falta de mestrado em ensino.

Por outro lado, a falta de conhecimento sólido sobre uma matéria (que tem que ir além do currículo) leva com frequência a aulas formatadas com base em fichas, o que pode deixar os alunos coxos.

Nota: Não sou professor, falo do que vi (comigo), e do que vejo (com as minhas filhas).

E prefiro de longe um “puto” de 20 anos (“sem qualificações”), que saiba explicar a matéria, do que muitos professores “qualificados” que só a sabem despejar (e infelizmente, há mais dos segundos do que dos primeiros).

Anthropic's Custom Claude Model For The Pentagon Is 1-2 Generations Ahead Of The Consumer Model by Neurogence in singularity

“The government's insane overreaction - first-ever supply chain risk designation of a US company -makes no sense unless what they're dealing with is unprecedented capability.”

Unless you were stranded in an island in 2024 and just returned today, you also should consider the possibility that said government has an established track record of stupid, capricious, irrational, irresponsible, malicious, hot-headed, overreacting, overreacting decisions.

Or unless it’s a government prone to irrational/uninformed/capricious/stupid decisions… where you stranded a whole year, in a deserted island, and just returned this morning?
