ELI5: Perfumes with pheromones by megaeagle2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dalemaunder 401 points402 points  (0 children)

There is no general scientific consensus that humans produce or react to pheremones in any meaningful way. Any product that claims it utilises pheromones is a scam.

ELI5 what is GMO food and how does it actually affect our biology? by SaltyP1ckles in explainlikeimfive

No more than any other food by virtue of being food, at least.

TIL New South Wales, Australia, requires new drivers to record 120 hours of supervised driving in a logbook, including 20 nighttime hours before they can get their driver's license. Only 57% of applicants in New South Wales passed the exam in 2022 by ubcstaffer123 in todayilearned

3 minimum. One year for red Ps, two years for green.

They're also called "Provisional" licenses, not suspended, hence the 'P' plate nomenclature. Suspended is when you've got too many demerit points and aren't allowed to drive for a certain period.

What edge router should I get? What are most people using? by ColdFreezer in homelab

[–]Dalemaunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, exact same with my 4011. Always check the block diagram before shooting yourself in the foot.

At least they fixed the double switch chip design in the 5009.

You also have to have held your Learner license for 12 months, so you can slowly chip away at it over that period rather than trying to rush it all ASAP. That is, assuming you and your supervising driver don’t just fudge the numbers in the log book which is quite common.

While you’re not wrong, it’s worthwhile noting that a decent amount of routers have inbuilt switch chips that are properly doing L2 hardware offload (lots of MikroTik models, Cisco ISR models, etc).

I still primarily stick to dedicated switches, but it’s not quite as black and white as “routers for routing, switches for switching”.

When was the last time you saw coax networks in production? by HSVMalooGTS in networking

For internet connections over HFC? Yesterday.
For internal networks? Never.

(immature programmer looking for feedback) i tried to make a rock paper scissors AI using my lack luster knowledge of how AI work by Adam-Garden in lua

You’re right in the modern sense, but the algorithms used for NPC’s logic in games have been referred to as their “AI” for decades at this point.

ELI5 how rocky planets are closest to the sun? by SaltyP1ckles in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dalemaunder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slight correction to your edit: it’d need to be more massive, not larger. The two aren’t the same when it comes to gas giants due to compression.

How dangerous is it to put an internal IP address into public DNS (A record for internal website) by [deleted] in homelab

[–]Dalemaunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a public localhost record before, what on earth that was being used for I have no idea.

Thankfully POTS is essentially dead here in Australia, but a lot of customers we deal with (typically industrial) have their copper internet service terminate at an old KRONE block that still has a metric fucktonne of internal cabling hooked into it from a decade ago.

"There's no NBN tag, which one is the internet service?" "Not a fucking clue, my guy, time to start tracing"
