Can't confirm.

For your and any other readers' benefit: On Android, you might try using the app "reddit is fun". It requires no permissions and its style is delightfully basic and compact. It's my preferred way of redditing these days.
Absolutely seconded. Decent support for ZFS in general, especially during installation already. Ideally, ZFS root filesystem support (snapshot before upgrade, yay!). I've been using ZFS for six(?) years now, on both…
I agree. This is why I prefer bouldering these days.
In 2016, Germany was a net exporter of electrical energy: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/153533/umfrag... However you're right that Germany was a net importer from (among others) France:…

Reddit as a whole, sure. The front page itself though? I don't know how others use it, but my frontpage is populated by my favourite subreddits, which are luckily mostly free of politics. TBH I have no idea how the…

There is a bit of a misunderstanding in this thread I think. I (and others, I believe) were arguing when a car we would want to buy could forgo a steering wheel. You're right that e.g. Uber could have a…
I wasn't replying to the person, I was replying to /you/. The impression I got from your statement was that you consider fully autonomous vehicles not far off. I disagree. The point I was making was that the vehicles…
How often does it snow in Mountain View?
Embedded would be a field with longer-lived software, yes. I used to work on helicopter avionics. I'd be surprised if the projected service life of the software was less than 30 years. Downside: everything is amazingly…
Thanks for taking the time to reply :-) Very interesting.
I've been working with German OEMs for years. It was a well-known secret that the regulatory emission tests were a sham and would routinely be circumvented. I personally wasn't aware they actively tried to cheat on the…
While your reply is genuinely amusing (thank you), how is it actually true? What do we gain from having NUL everywhere, as opposed to having it in only one specific location, e.g. root? Also, as an aside, I thought it…
As a side note to your side node, rpi clusters are a terrible idea in any case :-)
100W idle is quite a lot in absolute terms, and more than I'd like because my boxes tend to run 24/7 (as do yours, I assume), but I suppose for the sheer amount of hardware you're running it's actually pretty…
Nice build. I've been considering something similar every now and then. The argument that makes me pull back though is my fear that its power draw would be considerable. How much power does your system draw? Idle,…
