Xi Jinping is visiting the European Union for the first time in five years. Trade tensions and China’s position on Russia’s war in Ukraine are set to be the main sticking points....
I see this womans face all over right now, all commenting on her book and shit she said.
Ya'll know that posting this shit and responding to it beyond calling out the blatant attention whoring through deliberately inflammatory and controversial statements is just giving them what they want, right?
That's why, although I'm in no way a fan of Macron, I love that he has put the idea out of at the very least starting to put boots on the ground.
At the end of that war, we can not permit it to be in the form of Ukraine losing even an inch of landmass. Because then in 5-10 years, Putin will just do the same thing again, maybe not in Ukraine, but elsewhere.
The only way to stop Putins madness is by making every thing he does cost him dearly.
My work often takes me to the Antwerp diamond quarter (especially the vault buildings) and the sentiment I see there is that your general Jewish person facepalms every time they hear Israel is in the news again and they aren't happy this makes life more difficult for them by simple association. Most of these people just want to live their lives and have no association, fealty or favor for the country of Israel, beyond the area it resides in hosting holy sites.
Dunno about the traditionally dressed Hasidic Jews in Antwerp though, I've been in and around the Diamond Quarter for 25 years now and I don't think I've ever even got as much as a hello or acknowledgement of existence from any of them walking down the street. They seem to be a rather insular bunch.
YouTube first spoke about pause ads last year when it started trialing them in select regions. At the time, the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it....
I tend to have videos playing on a secondary screen all day long, only to pause them when I get a phonecall or need to talk to someone on Discord or real life.
This is just one more perfectly valid reason to install adblockers.
I pause videos for 1 reason and 1 reason only and that's to speak to people IRL or online, because I can't concentrate on a conversation when there's background noise.
This is just another entry for the list of reason it's 1001% valid to use adblockers.
It's incredible how delusional some of these people are, like Twitch Moderator being 100% convinced Amouranth is going to bang them if they spend enough in her Onlyfans tier delusional.
They are entirely convinced he shits gold and everything he touches is Star Trek tier tech.
On linux, where the config file for a specific program is, can vary annoyingly greatly depending on what distro you're using and sometimes the same config file exists in several places and somehow certain parts of the configuration parameters get taken from several of those files, so if you think you've found what the actual config file should be and remove the duplicates, suddenly the program uses defaults or doesn't even work at all.
You should replace that thing with something more modern. I had a 5000p chipset system someone gave me with dual quad cores and an assload of ram.
The shitty box idled over 400W. I went as far as getting low power ram and the newest CPU it would support that also supported frequency and power scaling and it still used over 400W on idle.
This while I had a Xeon E5 box that was only a few years younger that uses more in the neighborhood of 50W on idle and utterly decimates the 5000 series box in CPU performance.
You're probably better of fetching some old Ryzen 1800x system of ebay for higher performance and leagues lower power consumption.
As for the raid, don't use it. Hardware raid has always been shit and in modern Linux and Windows is as good as completely depricated.
Oh, I get it. But a baseline HP Proliant from that era is just an x86 system barely different from a desktop today but worse/slower/more power hungry in every respect.
For history and "how things changed", go for something like a Sun Fire system from the mid 2000's (280R or V240 are relatively easy and cheap to get and are actually different) or a Proliant from the mid to late 90's (I have a functioning Compaq Proliant 7000 which is HUGE and a puzzlebox inside).
x86 computers haven't changed much at all in the past 20 years and you need to go into the rarer models (like blade systems) to see an actual deviation from the basic PC alike form factor we've been using for the past 20 years and unique approaches to storage and performance.
For self hosting, just use something more recent that falls within your priceclass (usually 5-6 years old becomes highly affordable). Even a Pi is going to trounce a system that old and actually has a different form factor.
They have a secondary motherboard that hosts the Slot CPUs, 4 single core P3 Xeons. I also have the Dell equivalent model but it has a bum mainboard.
With those 90's systems, to get Windows NT to use more than 1 core, you have to get the appropriate Windows version that actually supports them.
Now you can simply upgrade from a 1 to a 32 core CPU and Windows and Linux will pick up the difference and run with it.
In the NT 3.5 and 4 days, you actually had to either do a full reinstall or swap out several parts of the Kernel to get it to work.
Downgrading took the same effort as a multicore windows Kernel ran really badly on a single core system.
As for the Sun Fires, the two models I mentioned tend to be highly available on Ebay in the 100-200 range and are very different inside than an X86 system. You can go for 400 or higher series to get even more difference, but getting a complete one of those can be a challenge.
And yes, the software used on some of these older systems was a challenge in itself, but they aren't really special, they are pretty much like having different vendors RGB controller softwares on your system, a nuisance that you should try to get past.
For instance, the IBM 5000 series raid cards were simply LSI cards with an IBM branded firmware.
The first thing most people do is put the actual LSI firmware on them so they run decently.
Some people won't ever hear anything about the issues until they see some weird kid do these stunts or see that someone their age can have a word in the discussion too.
Others are more likely to pay attention to scientists, the type that read more intellectual literature.
And then there's those who won't ever change their mind because they've been spoonfed corporate propaganda and thanks to religion and just generally being dumbasses, are perfectly primed to be managed in this way.
Even in porn I haven't seen anyone take so many loads with that much gusto as the Republican, NRA and everything related to the right wing has for the past several decades.
