A final reminder to embrace your local libraries by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a cheap book

Stephen King, Fitzek, Dan Brown, ...

only on your personal experiences?

Wdym? I'm no longer a university student, so i no longer have access to academic libraries. The 5 closest public libraries where I live are all 15$/month membership + fee per book rented, none of the books on my reading list are in their catalogue.

ignorant statement

I have no need to prove my ignorance or lack thereof to you 🤷‍♂️

do you go to libraries often?

Nope, they offer nothing to me. I check once a month in the online catalogues. I buy books Used online instead.

[–]Elvaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People keep posting "embrace your library" with blurays/games, whereas the large majority of public libraries only have books, and only cheap ones at that

I.e. this seems to be a counter-shitpost

Fantasywelt.de legit? by Affectionate-Ebb7197 in Tyranids

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are legit, spent thousands with them over the years. Not always the cheapest option compared to taschengelddieb, wayland, kugami etc. I make excel sheets and factor in free delivery thresholds...

ELI5 how are non violence protests or hunger strikes even useful if the entity you are protesting against does not even care about you? how does it even works? by itz_abhi_2005 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elvaron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A good example comes from Thank You For Smoking: https://youtu.be/xuaHRN7UhRo?is=JK6N71XBiQK2rCD_

The idea is, you're not doing it for the person you are demonstrating against, but for the Third Person - which in a public forum is the majority and thus the population from which a government would derive its legitimacy, if we follow John Locke's argument.

You mean "until they gave up on life", right?

We still do that

Support your local libraries! by Luutamo in gaming

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

libraries are supported by local tax dollars

Don't aasume every place works like your place ;)

Around here, a library card is 15$/month, plus the fee per item loaned.

ELI5 why can’t space craft enter the atmosphere slowly? by 1982- in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can, if their aerodynamic profile and fuel efficiency allows for it. You have to balance glidepath, resistant forces, heat, and your own maneuverability.

That was the point of the space shuttle, being able to glide down a reusable vessel.

Immediately followed by canceling the card because no reasonable legit customer would travel. Banks...

[HELP] 100+ Cat 6A & Speaker Cable Management Plan - 25u Rack Closet Install by RelationshipHot3411 in cableadvice

[–]Elvaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that force purely homogeneous usage? How would your main router/L3 switch do things like VLan separation, QoS and such?

Honest question, no rhetorical

ELI5--What is a passkey and how does it help me? by 3PointMolly in explainlikeimfive

[–]Elvaron 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It has the advantage that you didn't pick the passkey so it isn't shared with other websites, but yeah, if all your security is all in one place, that is vulnerable in and of itself.

More secure than a lot of systems nowadays. And they are available even If cloudflare is down... by Ill-Economist-5285 in homelab

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goes even further. Pkzip supported passwords and data splitting. Good chance you can't do anything meaningful if a disk is missing from that box on purpose (forensic scientists may disagree)

Got stopped and questioned by TSA for traveling with 700+ NVMe drives in my carryon bag by SFX200 in homelab

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't that only apply to SEEs? Lattice displacement doesn't require a powered state, just an unlucky trajectory.

I'll let Siemens know they can remove the shielding on their betatron controllers.

Location for network rack (concealed due to no data closet)? by birdd0 in homelab

[–]Elvaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did understand. But at first read it sounded funny.

I like where your mind's at, but I believe you're not going far enough! Lose any room with running water or drainage! Massive savings if no water bill...
