one thing to consider is that some cheap SSDs don’t have power management, so they’ll consume way more power than others at idle.
For a server setup that’s always running you should consider if the slightly lower cost is worth the cost of electricity
organic maps ftw!
The impression that I got from Andreas was that he just didn’t want the repo being flooded by politics because it ultimately is cruft in that doesn’t advance the project technically.
He obviously didn’t foresee the harm it would cause to the project by controversy and boycotts, how do you think he would’ve acted if he had?
I think we’re all generally left leaning as people on fedi and tend to get in our echo chambers and think that we’re closer to the global centre of political spectrums than we actually are, but I think it’s important to understand where the majority of people stand so we don’t get out of touch.
You have to remember that over half the voters of the US election voted for Trump. It is true that they’re American, but I think we should be trying to understand why they did so rather than screaming at their face every time they deviate from our views of the ideal.
Also, can we stop disparaging the opposition with names? From my point of view the left seemingly calling every Republican a “Nazi” sounds just as stupid as the right calling everyone on the left “woke”, and I think this applies to anyone outside this bubble of politics. My belief is that we should be organically introducing that meaning to the name “republican”, rather than diluting a historical term.
that just depends on how comfortable the instance owner is, if i was hosting I’d ip block the UK
tbh if the government demanded fediverse servers do this then they’ll probably comply as well, I really don’t think this is apple’s fault as much as i hate them and every similar tech megacorps
if this is a sata drive “SATA link power management” might work?
ik tomshardware reviews of SSDs have information on power consumption
