Recommendations for running VMs on a headless server? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 24 minutes ago

It uses some form of VNC (forget the name). Performance is fine for the VMs for non-video stuff.

You can run whatever you want inside a VM too.

You posted this just so you could make that comment.

I'll accept it. Have my upvote. Lol

Works for me, but damn it's dog snot slow. Like typing takes 1-2 seconds for each character to show up

They also had water wheels which could do work, like lifting.

Also, I've found power cycling stuff is when it fails.

I've had machines and many drives running for 10 years, only rebooting as necessary, and never powering off.

HaLow Wi-Fi has now been tested at 9.9 miles — new Wi-Fi world record is a near 5X increase over previous best in c/[email protected]

Yea, for simple sensors and switches, LoRa seems to be the solution.

This looks good for video, since it has wifi bandwidth capability.

If course then you'll need a real battery (NiMH?) and some solar. But if the power consumption is good, that won't be too bad.

Serious question, why not use current wifi for that kind of distance?

I know, it's probably not really easy to make the comparison at this point - power usage is definitely part of that equation. Though the lower bandwidth of this doesn't seem quite enough for video?

Edit: I misread the bandwidth as 347kbit, not Mbit. So yea, this looks very promising for video, especially given the limitations of Wifi, plus using less power.

Everyone one of my finds aged out from lack of OS updates, not because the hardware failed or was too slow.

I have a box of them.

From their About page:

Project Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a people-powered internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".

It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).

Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.

I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.

They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.

I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?

Healthcare Social Graph Scoring - Talk About Dystopian. (www.symplur.com)
 

I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.

I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.

While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
