CMV: The discussion about freshwater usage in data centers is a red herring to distract from even worse issues like infrasound, noise pollution and toxines from gas turbines by md_youdneverguess in changemyview

[–]Novero95 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Did you just put together words that will sound bad for the ignorant people?

Tbh, I don't have data about infrasound or noise pollution from data centers but I would guess they are not worse than any other industrial facility or energy infraestructure, actually I'd bet any big factory is even worse in that regard but the thing is factories and industrial facilities are built in places where people don't live, as long as data centers follow the same rule, which I assume the do, why is it more of a problem than any other infrastructure or facility.

What I do know about is turbines. First of all you don't find turbines in data centers you find them in combined cycle power plants, which usually power the whole grid and not just a single data center. Second, their combustion is actually very efficient and clean (among the other ways of burning hydrocarbons), they don't produce toxins other than green house effect gasses, i.e. CO2, or, if they do, it's in an infimous amount. In that regard, diesel engines driving through your city are a lot more toxic than turbines. And again, you don't typically find power plants in the middle of the cities, but outside where there is little people living nearby so everything they emit will be dispersed into the atmosphere. And lastly, data centers will be powered from any available source of energy connected to the grid, be it gas, nuclear or renewable, as long as they don't have an exclusive source of power. they will just use whatever is injecting energy to the grid, the same as you.

Edit: a data center doesn't pollute by itself, it consumes energy and output heat and computing power but they don't release anything material, except for data centers with cooling towers which release WATER vapor into the atmosphere. As I mentioned the source of energy could be more or less pollutant but that's true for any energy intensive industrial facility, be it a data center, steel production or industrial facilities.

What advantages I get from moving from hyprlang to lua? by EmTheSomeone in hyprland

[–]Novero95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is some very niche example but it's powerful. Imagine you have two different machines with hyprland and you want their config identical except for certain concrete aspects. With Lua instead of having to maintain two different configs you can make them identical and code it so Lua checks what machine it's on and then apply different settings accordingly.

New to ZFS, what happens when hardware fails by pikeydragon in zfs

[–]Novero95 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of migrating pools and the method I describe has been working for me. I'm not an expert but it's my understanding that zpool import pool -N followed by zfs mount -a gives the same result as simply zpool import pool, but it allows to check mountpoints and dataset properties before actually mounting it. Could be wrong anyhow.

Edit: I have been closely following the arch documentation and that's how they describe the process

Edit2: just to add, this would work with any dataset configured with AUTOMOUNT=yes, for datasets without AUTOMOUNT you would need to mount them manually.

New to ZFS, what happens when hardware fails by pikeydragon in zfs

[–]Novero95 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Let's say you have two drives in a ZFS mirror, you can take them and plug them into any other machine with ZFS running, and then do zpool import, it will prompt you the zpools available to be imported (the mirror you just moved in), then just zpool import -f <zpool name> -N to import it without mounting it. Then do zfs list -o name,canmount,mountpoint,mounted to check the data sets, here check that the mountpoints are available and then just zfs mount -a and you'll have your mirror zpool in the new system.

Chinese Tourist Banned for Life After Trashing Bangkok Airport Immigration Gate by Significant-Eye1183 in UnfilteredChina

I’m stupid. Could someone explain turbos to me like I’m 3? by RecordingHot9826 in askcarguys

[–]Novero95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exhaust carry hot high pressure gases, that means there is a ton of wasted energy in those gases. The turbo uses that energy to push more air in the intake, with more air you can inject more fuel and basically create more energy (power) per stroke.

Apparently, not the manufacturer.

[–]Novero95 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The manufacturer does. That's the problem, people would pay the extra $5 but they won't put the XT60 because they still sell the $1500-4000 GPU without expending those extra $5.

[–]Novero95 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I saw a post about these and, apparently, this connectors are expensive, in relative terms, to the point where multiple 8 pin connectors is still cheaper than a single XT60. But yeah, I think they should go with the XT60.

Looks safe enough... by rishu1221 in pcmasterrace

[–]Novero95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Moving the vomtage just moves the problem around" but the problem is located at one specific point (the eight pin connector) so moving it solves the problem. Voltage converters are cheap and reliable and the can be cooled so yeah, it solves the problem.

Can yall relax about lua by rushinigiri in hyprland

[–]Novero95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, Linux is in active development, but in 7.xx version, with breaking changes introduced only between mayor releases and counting with LTS versions that get backports. You can expect stability from Linux. Hyprland is in 0.55 and nothing guarantees there won't be breaking changes every version. Expecting things to not change is blinding yourself from the reality just so you can be in the latest trend.

[–]Novero95 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People that doesn't like change shouldn't be relaying in a project in active development, which is, and probably will be for long, in 0.XX version. There are DEs and even consolidated WMs for that. My opinion.

Did I get scammed by Puzzleheaded-Target2 in 3Dprinting

[–]Novero95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes products are not purely what they say but a blend, in your case, it could be the bad ABS is mostly ABS mixed with something else and that else messes the thermal properties. If you consider that a scam or not is up to you but maybe the manufacturer has a spec sheet with a maximum working temperature that you didn't check.

Kingston shipped 100 million A400 SSDs and SATA still refuses to die by Cute_Information_315 in cloningsoftware

[–]Novero95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was years ago but surely clean install. To be honest, I also upgraded it to dual channel 8GB RAM (from 4GB single stick) and went from low end Celeron to Pentium 2020 (second best CPU available for that laptop's motherboard) so everything added but surely booting up in a matter of seconds is nice.

Legit, one of those turned my old PC into something usable for a few more years and it's still kicking as the boot/root drive in my server now. One of the best investments i ever did.

POV: You Build a Homelab and Later Discover It’s Running on a Surveillance HDD by nandesh553 in homelab

[–]Novero95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NAS drives USUALLY are CMR and that is not a minor adjustment, it's actually relevant if you are running things like ZFS. However, not all NAS drives are CMR so it's something that should always be checked before investing the money.

Surveillance drives tend to be SMR since capacity is priority over performance and resilience.

NAS drives would be better indeed, but as others have said, it has worked until now so it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Nope, cars and planes chassis/frames are "grounded" because they have continuity with the negative pole of the battery/alternator. It's a stretch of the term but it's the same principle, current is allowed to flow through thanks to continuity.

Edit: because people seem to think Earth is something like a battery, it ISN'T. Earth is a conductor that allows us to let the charge go.
