I would indeed be interested. I have a few from my orthopedic doctor but they’re a bit limited.

Currently waiting on the appointment. Just impatient.

I recommend the edX CS50x course. It’s a bit more general about computer science than your ask but, it’s free, an actual Harvard/MIT course, and covers algos, data structures, and programming in C, Python, and JS (last I checked).

Oh that makes more sense. I probably took you too literally.

Without the chroot, that’s how shared webhosting works but it can be hundreds or thousands of sites, depending on resource usage and server capacity.

I intend to. I refuse to die in old age, wasting my life working to support shareholders. Have a good few decades left to even be close to that though and I hate it.

I maintained a CEPH cluster a few years back. I can verify that speeds under 10GbE will cause a lot of weird issues. Ideally, you’ll even want a dedicated 10GbE purely for CEPH to do its automatic maintenance stuff and not impact storage clients.

The PGs is a separate issue. Each PG is like a disk partition. There’s some funky math and guidelines to calculate the ideal number for each pool, based upon disks, OSDs, capacity, replicas, etc. Basically, more PGs means that there are more (but smaller) places for CEPH to store data. This means that balancing over a larger number of nodes and drives is easier. It also means that there’s more metadata to track. So, really, it’s a bit of a balancing act.

could be used for social welfare systems

For needy billionaires, maybe.

I’d say that despair is also common for those of us who have been painfully aware of the causes.

Just want to say: Thanks for your perennial civility as well as continuing to offer learning resources for people interested in any “sect” of leftist ideology.

None. I don’t appreciate games with mechanics that are intended to mess with my already fucked dopamine signaling.

And there’s also resilience against natural disasters. Having processor manufacturing limited to one place is just a bad idea.

Natively install RPM packages? Really, there’s not much. Find a setup that you like.

Progressive relaxation. Seriously.

Communities or “comms”. Reddit would be quick to legal action if someone started using their trademarks.

I’m so used to tech and Linux stuff that I first thought that it was a special interest instance for shell scripting and TUIs. Now, it’s a toss up between “shit just works” and “sh! It just works”.

…I’m left with a strong inconclusive as to whether it’s possible :(

Possible, yes. Possible with current technology and understanding, no.

The methylation of DNA and other ways that its functionality is modified is something that is studied in epigenetics. Such modifications can also be carriers of heritable traits (ex. a study on Icelandic families found that experiencing famine could change the likelihood of diabetes two generations later). Modifying methylation has also been investigated for treatment of genetic diseases.

Conceivably, epigenome editing could be used to modify the sperm/egg methylation to make them compatible. But, that’s probably a ways a way from being practical.

That’s all that one needs to know. Once those leeches are involved as investors, it’s over. They demand enshitification from our destroy everything that they touch for a quick buck.

Finland was no NATO and not even the USSR touch it.

If you omit the middle of the 20th century, sure. The Finns declared independence from the Russian Empire in 1917, under the approval of the Bolsheviks’ Declaration of the Rights of the Peoples of Russia. In 1934, Finland and the USSR reaffirmed a non-aggression pact for 10 years. In 1939, after penning a deal with Hitler to carve up Europe between the Nazis and the USSR, Stalin demanded that Finland, who had maintained a stance of neutrality, cede territory for military use and, when they refused, ordered shelling and invasion.

Neutrality or even open trade did not prevent the USSR from invading then, not did handing over nukes save Ukraine from invasion in 2014.
