if elon gets rid of 33% of the data centres, that solves the api issue right

he should pick a data center to keep open, and then his infra guy turns off one of the other two.

he should then switch his choice of data center to keep open to increase his chances of solving the problem, even if it doesn't make any sense intuitively

since it looks like ol lonny boy wants print outs (so you can't use git blame, not that he'd know what that is), i'd just find the most obscure and opaque code buried in a repo somewhere and go full rockwell turbo encabulator during my explanation

Surely twitter has a central git repo that people could just shoot him links to their golden code exemplars from instead of sending him screenshots or literal paper printouts.

Finally I get to school Sagebrush instead of the other way round!

actually it's a krak grenade in the current cannon and thus;

quote:

The Krak Grenade is a type of explosive device used by the military forces of the Imperium of Man. Krak Grenades use a shaped explosive charge capable of punching holes in armoured targets such as vehicles or bunkers, and its charge can even rip armour plating apart. Typically Krak Grenades are attached directly onto vehicles or fortifications with magnetic, adhesive or physical clamps, maximising their effect on the target. They can also be used against monstrous creatures (such as the larger Tyranid bioforms), when they are attached to the creature's carapace before detonation.

These munitions are often used for attacking fortified defensive positions and vehicles, and provide Imperial infantry with a means of harming heavy targets that their primary anti-personnel weaponry may not be able to affect. However, the focused detonation lacks a blast radius, therefore making them impractical for use against enemy infantry.

u r welcome

aw, boring. we've had shaped charge grenades since before ww2. they suck, because they have to be right on the surface of the thing you want to destroy and facing the right direction when they go off, and it's really hard to throw a grenade that way.

i thought it would be a grenade filled with crack.

If federated protocols actually take off widely, I kinda expect big tech to spin up instances that resolve most of the issues. gStadon and faceStadon and so on. If not, it'll still be a sufficient bridge along with other social networks to keep connected until something settles out. Lord knows it's not the first time the internet had a social network go toes up, and it won't be last, but some how folks re-congeal into the same sets.

Yeah, but when Tumblr died and they all fled to twitter, those posters didn't recreate Tumblr there. The community changed to fit the place

i'm aware that i have given away my real identity through my posts over the years, if anyone bothers to put the pieces together. a couple of goons in the past have done so for some reason, and have contacted me uninvited through channels other than the forums. it's creepy.

there are also several goons who know my real name and address by my choice, as i suspect is true for many of us in here.

i appreciate that we all keep up the kayfabe of anonymity despite our decade-plus association and the amount of personal, if not directly identifying, information we share.

also re shaped charge grenades -- i had to quit paying attention to ukraine because it was burning my brain into a cinder, but before i stopped, i saw that the ukrainians were taking those old 1950s shaped charge grenades that sucked rear end, 3d printing plastic fins for them, and mounting them on quadcopter drones with a little servo catch to release them. fly over a tank and drop the grenade and it self-orients and blasts through the thin armor on top. far more effective than throwing them. that is cyberpunk as hell.

I still go through weird mental gymnastics about posting something on real life social media vs anonymous forums and keeping them seperate, even though no one cares and I mostly post nonsense anyway.
