Technically every JSON file is a single line, with line break characters here and there

I haven’t used Google Search in years (DuckDuckGo ftw). I do use Copilot from time to time, and it’s alright.

When I interned in a NOC I referred to bandwidth in GiB/s once or twice. The looks on the senior engineers’ faces were priceless.

You’re also misunderstanding. I won’t deny that US companies seek profit wherever they can, even from unethical sources. I also don’t doubt their involvement with law enforcement and intelligence agencies. But a company seeking profit through a partnership with the United States federal government is not the same as the totalitarian Chinese government requiring oversight of Chinese companies.

It might not seem like a big difference to you, but it’s an important one to me.

US companies != US federal government

Latter-day Saints were some of the earliest white settlers of Las Vegas, if you can believe it.

I wonder how bad the reputational damage all these layoffs is? I wouldn’t be surprised if those big tech companies have a bit of trouble when they start hiring again.

While The Church of Jesus Christ does pay for use of Ancestry.com licenses at FamilySearch centers, it was not involved in creating the company. The Church has it’s own genealogy company: FamilySearch.org.

Another thing the world ought to know is that the folks who are identified by “red” and “right” in America are in the minority.

Significantly so.

This isn’t accurate. In 2020, 29% of voters identified as Republican, 33% as Democrat, and 34% as independent. There certainly were more Democrats, but only by a 5% margin.

Playing up exaggerated differences between the number of Democrats and Republicans and emphasizing the “we outnumber you” rhetoric is extremist and should be avoided. It makes you a part of the problem.

You know you’re from the Midwest when you think never leaving your hometown is automatically a bad thing.

Sacrifice 1000 programmers, got it

It’s definitely an interesting hypothetical. Some homelabs that I’ve seen run crazy enterprise gear and are certainly capable of running thousands of very small containers, while others are running repurposed consumer equipment or SBCs like Raspberry Pis with less computing power and RAM.

Of course, in a self-hosted or homelab environment, there would be little utility to running that many network or web services. It would be a neat experiment, though. Seems like the kind of thing that Linus Tech Tips would attempt.

I mean, if you have around 17 million containers running services, maybe.

There aren’t many benefits from using IPv6 on LAN, as far as I can tell, unless you need more addresses than are available in the private address ranges.
