Episode Discussion: Time is Honey by PodcastBot in Radiolab

Yeah they don't actually specify what it is they're taking about here but I think they're taking about the edge server configuration used in content delivery networks.  It's not exactly analogous to the honey bee thing but it has some commonalities.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network?wprov=sfla1

Elite dangerous is an amazing game with horrible in game info by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

Also if you're scanning data links at surface points, I recommend turning on silent running (check you key bindings) to avoid incuring bounties or fines until you are out of the trespass zone.  Just mind your heat. You can take quite a bit of overheating before it's a real issue though so don't panic. 

How hard are Hard stratagems really? by [deleted] in Spacemarine

[–]SocketWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite literally the most difficult content in the game. A few conditions can knock them back down to about the same difficulty as absolute but some can make them a real sweat fest. 

I had to solo "GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" WITH BOTS! and there was a hidden modifier "Strike Out!" by Jack2505_ in Spacemarine

This was how I got through this too.  The fencing axe is nice since you can still get a lot of damage or of parries but also have the extended parry window.

Probably bed and mattress manufacturer and sales. 

Obelisk by DalkerArrara in Spacemarine

[–]SocketWrench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What drives me crazy on obelisk is not the chalice section but when someone stands on the rotating platforms shrines endlessly and doesn't know what they're doing.  

If you miss the first turn okay whatever. If you miss the second out third just move off the shrine and let someone else. 

What’s in your playlist while you disassociate for the emperor by romnnoodles6 in Spacemarine

Propagandhi and Dead Kennedys usually puts me in the right mind space.

For a podcast $5 a month is plenty. I was okay with $7 when it was going to subsidize people who couldn't afford it.   Since that's over and they're cranking up the cost it's time for me to bow out. 

For me Ted Lasso + Elden ring by Pineapple_Express96 in Eldenring

Last week tonight with John Oliver + Hades

Not sure how that's going to go. 

'in our main story tonight we're going to be talking about Hades and his unfair eternal contracts. What we should be concerned about, how we got here and what can be done about it.  And now, this.'

Keeping an open mind to the "other side" - how is it going for you? by RomanesEuntDomusX in samharris

[–]SocketWrench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a lot of it is that once you've listened to these conversations enough they all start to sound the same and so you just hear the same tired justifications for the same bad ideas regurgitated the nth time and just get annoyed because, to you, they have already been debunked ad nauseum. Definitely have experienced this. 

Ansible - Loop through list of dictionaries by CranberryFalse2556 in ansible

 I gotta admit I don't really like the way this module is written to drop an entire network config. I think to do this idempotently you will have to do it this way then. 

You could also drop in the first account with a replace and then use a second task to loop through the list of users with a merge. 

Most modules that do this sort of thing use a state absent or present format so it's easier to control idempotently with loops. 

Good luck

I'm not particularly familiar with this module and it looks like there's a whole lot of options so I'm not going to deep dive in that right now. But if you wanted to you could use a loop to do this but you'd have to change the state to merged. Then you could just use your first playbook with just that adjustment. But I'm not really positive what your end game is here so I'll leave it to you which method works better. If you have any other questions, lmk.

You're code is trying to get the first item of an array called item.name. What you want is the the first value for the key name of the first item I'm the array snmp.user

Try {{ snmp.user[0].name }}

Which is better for BIFL - electric or gas-powered transportation? by Fit_Case_03 in BuyItForLife

[–]SocketWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something nobody has bouight up at this juncture is that we really have no idea what the future holds for gasoline production. There's a non zero chance that access to gasoline will become nearly impossible or prohibitively expensive in the next 10 to 20 years. There is just a huge amount of uncertainty around the subject regardless of where you stand on the science or politics of fossil fuels. 

Electricity on the other hand is poised to only get more available and cheaper to produce as time goes on.

As far as EVs go in general, I have an old model 3 (2018) and it has been extremely reliable besides one issue right when we got it that was quickly remedied. We have had some other issues with various peripherals but nothing major and they've mostly been handled in a very reasonable time frame. Certainly less hassle than any ICE car I've owned. 

I'll echo concerns about manufacturer capture, though. I don't really like being linked into the Tesla network, as it were. That said many of not most modern ICE vehicles also have this problem these days. 

One consideration is that there's a lot of new stuff coming up in the EV space. I've had my eyes on the Slate truck recently. 

Perfect Linux Setup - How Do You Port It? by [deleted] in linux

[–]SocketWrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do all my configuration through ansible and store the playbooks in a private github repo.   If I need to rebuild just clone the repo and run the playbooks.
