ELI5: What is OpenStack? How to get started?
Well to be precise?...
Existing back in time where the general temperature of space was 0 celsius?
If we copied/moved our planet and us as we are now back in time that far away, what would happen?...
How much would a person need to weigh so they would start sinking when they stand in grass?
Trying to measure my roleplaying (non-human) character's weight, lol
farcaller, Confused about VLANs. If my eth0's MTU is 1500, and eth0.200 VLAN's MTU is 1500, how can I icmp ping over vlan 200 with 1472 bytes of payload? That sums up to the VLAN MTU nicely, but that'd be over the parent interface limit, no? What's happening in here?
Edit: I do have "don't fragment" bit set, too.
Tipping your landlord?
I’ve seen some posts about tipping landlords. I don’t understand, is that really a thing? And if yes, how is it justified?...
What are some good reasons a person might want to host their own Lemmy server?
Grab a teaspoon of neutron star core. Teleport it into Earth's atmosphere. What would happen?
I believe the density chances quickly to match Earth's pressure....
The atmosphere has stuff to do with gas. If the temperature was low enough though, would the gas fall down as liquid?
Would the atmosphere cease to exist?
Can light be changed into (solid) material?
I have a feeling that this would be sci-fi but here it goes!
What are we meant to be remembering on the fifth of November?
Are we celebrating the defeat of terrorists or are we remembering why Guy Fawkes and company wanted ro blow up Parliament in the first place? I’m American and, frankly, I’m confused by the whole thing.
How do we have so many dinosaur bones?
As someone who believes whole-heartedly in evolution, there’s something I’ve never fully understood:...
ELI5: How do we see entropy and it rising at Earth?
Land turning into desert/wasteland?
ELI5: What happens if you squeeze electrons too close to an atom?
I’ve understood that electrons move in a 3D field outside the nucleus and that they are quite far away from the nucleus itself (in relation to the atom scale)....
Schrank, @1password sent a newsletter about "You can disable passkeys in your organisation" - can someone explain like I'm 5 to me, why I (don't) want this?
#ELI5 #passkey
tobsen, @Schrank Heard about Passkeys in multiple podcasts. The only issue the had was exporting them to other managers. Apple and 1Password support this. Apple also via system API.
(Recovery is an other issue, but it means more security)
timwolla, @Schrank @Flyingmana “PassKey” is the marketing name for WebAuthn discoverable credentials (formerly known as resident keys). Any modern YubiKey supports (a limited amount of) discoverable credentials. There is also software based support for PassKeys that use your operating system’s keyring, e.g. you Android screen lock or Apple’s fingerprint reader.
Why does text add other colors to itself when displayed on a computer? Example image is a screenshot of text set to black on a webpage
ELI5: Google DRM bad
Non-techy here, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Google DRM shenanigans, but don’t really understand it, and what’s ‘bad’ about it....
secbox, Can anyone #ELI5 why #Google Play Services updates aren't included in the #Android system updates? Along that same line, why am I never notified that there are system, Play Services, or even app updates, and only by manually checking can I see/install them? Apple used to have a similar issue, but they seem to have gotten their shit together now, at least on my work phone and my friends' devices. #Pixel #GooglePixel #cybersecurity
Stark9837, #GooglePlay services are separate from the #Ansroid install. Android is an #opensource operating system that you can actually download and extend. This base version doesn't include GooglePlay services.
Imagine it like clean #Linux and then versions of Linux made for a specific service like a #Mastodon server. The base layer is the same. The Mastodon image just has some stuff pre-installed.
So, the Linux and Mastodon code will be updated separately.
As for why you need to manually check for updates. Well, that's easy. That's just bad design and implementation by #Google, as we've come to expect from them by now.
ELI5: What is a "Server Load"?
I’ve heard of this concept multiple times throughout my time on the internet, but I never understood what causes a “server load”. Now that I’m in one of the biggest instances on Lemmy, this is one of the significant issues that we face. So what is a “server load”, why does it slow down websites instead of stopping...
ELI5: How does an icemaker work??
So I've looked at like three different articles and videos about it, but I still don't get how a fridge/freezer-based icemaker works. I want this mystery out of my life. :(
ELI5: How does electricity actually transfer energy?
.
coolbutuseless,
davidbraze, My entirely uninformed guess is that they got a new VC sugar daddy, who is now steering the ship
mccarthymg, Honestly, @Posit should have prepared a public statement prior to laying off so many wonderful members of our community, in line with their own values and standards as a public benefit corporation.
They certainly aren’t meeting the highest standards of social performance, transparency, and accountability to stakeholders with their ongoing silence on the issue.
Eli5 what is going on with Red Hat and RHEL?

ELI5 - What is happening with reddit?
Why did so many subreddits go private?
Fizix, ELI5 Why do companies put sucralose in products that already have sugar?
leds, The first ingredient on the label is what a product it mostly made off, by using different types of sugars it will no have to be the first ingredient.
zoe, off topic: popular subs of reddit coming together in the fediverse after using sync:eli5@kbin.social;antiwork@lemmy.world…so on and so forth
connect could have achieved the same result but somehow can’t allow subbing to kbin communities
hope future apps make this a no-brainer
