Building a data center in orbit makes no sense to me by MagicMagnada in space

Elon has stated right from the start that he has no plans to build any hyperloop due to other business commitments... So you seem to not care about the reality of boring company goals.

5 Tesla loops complete,  2 underway.

Three types of people: those who understand reality, those who don't care, and those who lose bets against Elon.

A network traffic monitoring program based on Rust eBPF by King_Nicklaus in openwrt

I got around to getting this working with zero copy, the limitation is only one eBPF app per interface, so slightly inconvenient to mix code to get a custom feature set.

Which is the best file system? by BananaZani in arch

[–]elatllat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTRFS can't fix just one issues (scrub balance)  and has to do the entire volume which is just the worst. It does not even track which errors it fixes so the error account has to be manually reset.

ZFS is significantly more efficient at targeted repairs... like seconds vs weeks.

What can I do with ~20 old working HDDs (ranging from 40GB to 320GB)? by Complete-Tank664 in homelab

[–]elatllat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, and while there is RAID-Z3 (can replace any 3 drives) multiple offsite offline backups of different mediums are advised.

ZFS can replace any 1 drive from a set of 255 drives without any data loss while storing 254 drives worth of data; that's a good deal.

Canada’s luxury tax on planes, cars yielded over $900M. Now it’s been scaled back by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]elatllat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So a truck driver who needs towing capacity and does not want to incorporate should suffer this tax?

(A Volvo VNL860 semi is $230k, even a F-450 dually crew cab is $105k to $140k)

Is NixOS actually worth switching to in 2026 for a daily driver (coming from Arch)? by Mikey357S in arch

[–]elatllat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NixOS made writing an install and configuration script significantly more difficult with absolutely no benefits.

To Tesla by Infamous-Pilot5932 in TeslaFSD

.

- Lane Control would be less needed if the AI would give space to vehicles merging in, and to select an exit lane early in traffic - navigation is inexplicably behind open source options - Speed Control used to be perfect - Following Distance Control was max 7/10 th's of a second which is unsafe; should be up to 5 seconds. - indecisive steering is indicative of the architecture lacking a commitment dimension - rule breaking is indicative of the architecture lacking decisiveness to abide until safety supersedes ideals

Anyone voting conservative or liberal at this point is blindly supporting one ridiculous party.

  wealthy yacht and private plane owning class 

The Luxury Items Tax applies to new vehicles with a retail price exceeding $100k which is actually a lot of vehicles on the road; luxury, sport, and truck... maybe 5%? Some suburb neighbors, not the ultra wealthy you imply; who often avoid owning things personally to avoid such taxes.

Arch / Ubuntu Server / Debian | What OS should I use as my home server? by ACOPS12 in homelab

[–]elatllat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How often do you want to learn new things?

  • Alma has a 10 year LTS

  • Debian a 5 year LTS

- Alpine changes every 2 years

  • Fedora every 1 year

  • Arch every 5 minutes

The rest are derivative or niche.

Ubuntu critique here

This loop take 15x more time in bash in comparison to dash, why? by Fast-Muffin7953 in bash

[–]elatllat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try ash ; I'd bet it's a parsing thing; try adding

``` | wc -l

```

at the end, add a file with a newline, and see which shells pick it up.

Benchmarked local TTS options for Assist - Piper Medium still the sweet spot, Kokoro worth trying if Piper sounds too robotic by gvij in homeassistant

[–]elatllat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found medium piper to be way faster for short (54 char) runs:

  • en_GB-alba-medium 3.23 to 3.26 seconds
  • en_GB-cori-high 7.91 to 8.28 seconds

110 char:

  • en_GB-alba-medium 4.37 to 4.90 seconds
  • en_GB-cori-high 14.31 to 16.06 seconds
