Hard agree...

¯(ツ)/¯ been daily driving Linux for at least a decade now...

But I haven't found a way to run my HTC Vive on my nvidia gpu and the updater software for my car on Linux... So I still have a dual boot for those

I'm sorry to say, but this has been going on for much much longer than 30 days, but it's true that most people didn't notice

The reader I used to get the page count from, is set up to use the same font, font size, and margins for all ebooks. So the page count should be comparable between the two books.

But since you mentioned word count...

• My edition of The Hobbit has 96,923 words.
• My edition of The Fellowship of the Ring has 192,625 words.

So by word count, The Fellowship of the Ring is almost twice as long as The Hobbit.

Adding in the other books of the Lord of the Rings:

• The Two Towers: 157,065 words.
• The Return of the King: 210,618 words.

That brings the whole Lord of the Rings Trilogy to a total of 560,308 words. Meaning that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is 5.8 times longer than The Hobbit...

Looking at the extended edition run times of the movies, The Lord of the Rings trilogy runs for 10 hours and 26 minutes. The Hobbit trilogy runs for 7 hours and 52 minutes. So in movie form The Lord of the Rings in only 32% longer than The Hobbit.

So there's 67 milliseconds of Lord of the Rings movie, per word from the books, where as there's 292 milliseconds of The Hobbit movie, per word from the book. That's 4.4 times as much movie runtime per word in The Hobbit, than in the Lord of the Rings... Which is quite thinly stretched...

My ebook of The Hobbit is 217 pages. My ebook of The Fellowship of the Ring is 377 pages.

So the first book of the LOTR trilogy is 73% longer than the whole Hobbit book.

According to the whois data, the site is registered to someone in Reykjavik, Iceland... Not that that necessarily is correct.

You are correct. And yes that is kinda the whole point of the distilled models.

32b is still distilled. The full one is 671b.

Agreed, Talos or k3s are great for home clusters

This would imply that you have at least two machines. In that case they could just install Linux in the other machine to try it out.

Foa people dabbling in Linux for the first time, with the anxiety of losing their data, it certainly sound like they don't have 2 machines to run syncthing. Otherwise, why wouldn't they just copy all their important data to the other machine to avoid the data loss risk?

And sure if that is the case Syncthing is a good solution, but it doesn't sound applicable in this situation.

A LOT of toothpaste...

Yeah, it demotivated me too with the limited lives... If you still want Duolingo, I can mention that it has regional pricing, so you only need a VPN server in India to get it much much cheaper.

But it's understandable if you don't want to support those kinds of business practices in any way.

Quite a lot of young women jumped on the grey hair trend where I live. But of course it might not have been a trend where you live.

Here's a bunch of examples: https://www.latest-hairstyles.com/color/silver.html

You are aware that there were an almost global trend in 2024 of dying your hair grey, even for young women, right?

My home Kubernetes cluster started out on a Core i7-920 with 8 GB of memory.

Upgraded to 16 GB memory

Upgraded to a Core i5-2400S

Upgraded to a Core i7-3770

Upgraded to 32 GB memory

Recently Upgraded to a Core i5-7600K

I think I'll stay with that for rather long...

I did however add 2 Intel NUCs (gen 6 and gen 8) to the cluster to have a distributed control plane and some distributed storage.

Agnosticism and gnosticism are actually not so much about doubt, but whether it is possible to know.

An Agnostic says it's not possible to know whether there is a god or not.

A Gnostic says it's possible to know whether there is a god or not

An Atheist says they don't believe a god exists

A Theist says they believe a god exists.

You can be an Agnostic Atheist. "I don't believe in god, but I don't think it can be proven god doesn't exist."

Or a Gnostic Atheist. "I don't believe in a god, and I think we can prove God doesn't exist."

Or an Agnostic Theist. "I think God exists, but I don't think we can prove it. You just have to believe"

Or a Gnostic Theist. "I think God exists, and I think we can find proof."

Systemd?

My team is constantly looking for new technologies to make sure we're not turning ourselves into dinosaurs. We all know that Kubernetes won't last forever, something better will come along some day.

That being said I don't really see the full value of Triton or Xen with unikernels... They might have a bit less performance overhead if used correctly, but then again Kubernetes on bare metal also has very little overhead.

Kubernetes is certainly comes with a learning curve, and you need to know how to manage it, but once you have Kubernetes there's a ton of nifty benefits that appear due to the thriving community.

Need to autoscale based on some kind of queue? Just install the Keda helm chart

Running in the cloud and want the cluster to autoscale the nodes? Just install cluster-autoscaler helm chart

Want to pick up all of your logs and ship them somewhere? Just install the promtail helm chart

Need a deployment tool? Just install the ArgoCD helm chart

Need your secrets injected from some secret management solution? Just install the external-secrets helm chart

Need to vulnerability scan all the images you are using in your cluster? Just install the trivy-operator helm chart

Need a full monitoring stack? Just install the kube-prometheus-stack helm chart

Need a logging solution? Just install the loki helm chart

Need certificates? Just install the cert-manager helm chart

The true benefit of Kubernetes isn't Kubernetes itself, but all the it's and pieces the community has made to add value to Kubernetes.
