Companies claiming 99.9999 uptime is an absurd goal for a SLA, and wouldn’t even survive a small internet outage like a DDoS attack or Akamai outage. I remember in the 90s selling the idea of 5 9’s - 99.999% on my resume until some manager who Interviewed me asked me to state the expected downtime. I stopped claiming that number because it’s impossible without full active redundancy in different locations and not dependent on external providers like cloudflare ever going down.

And please don’t argue maintenance windows “cover it” because that’s not how they work in the real world today.

Downtime per year:

• 99% ~3.65 days (5,256 min)
• 99.9% ~8.77 hours (526 min)
• 99.99% ~52.6 min
• 99.999% ~5.26 min
• 99.9999% ~31.5 seconds

For my home lab I’m happy my stuff is online and content I hardly lose access when there’s a power outage thanks to my ups. But if I tracked I’d be closer to 95%. Good enough but I can’t wait till I just don’t care to run anything.

Uhh. No we are not. But we play dumb to also enjoy clearly fake things.

I have this device that can tell, please step into the steam over there. Yes yes, ignore the pot and lid.

Or you know, just don’t make a big deal, don’t stare, just keep moving up. If you need to look somewhere else because you see ass of the opposite sex…

The amount of immaturity nonsense in this thread is crazy.

I will repeat this over and over. AI is not for you or for me, we are users of the byproduct which is money exchange. Look at search engines, google is perfect example. AI just makes it so that we users can make simple queries and get answers, Google did that too and then became this monster which makes absolutely nothing, but searching the internet is easier and billions in ad revenue.

Some may argue there are some of us power users find beneficial use of AI, but we are small subset of users who in many cases were already smart enough to do the work. I love cowork for that reason, I share code I’ve written, projects with epics and work items and cowork makes the next project just like I did. What took a week, takes hours. Time which I now spend learning the next actual thing, quantum computing.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has been “inundated” with more than 200 calls across dozens of military installations, including 110 complaints filed between Saturday morning and Monday evening, from service members reporting their commanders have invoked similar extremist rhetoric of Christian Zionist messianism when justifying the unprovoked war on Iran.

This is the signs of the start of a civil war right here. Someone, will push back one day and kill a leader.

Yes, but you can’t resell it for a profit elsewhere easily. You want us to switch to sky energy, we need a way to make the output portable so someone can make money on it. I really hate capitalism and hope this is the fall at a global level. Though if anyone was watching, China has been making the right moves towards solar and transport. If they stop oppressing their people i’ll move all my soon to be worthless USD to YUAN.

Look, you’re not thinking about the shareholders. I NEED YOU to think about the shareholders! How will they ever make their billions? You selfish bastard!

/s just in case.

If you saw some of the unfiltered news, you would agree. I have quite a few Iranian friends that are watching their fellow citizens be murdered. but we know that’s not why the USA is doing this.

Also, change Iranian to American and I’m on board. Fuck ICE.

look, lets just agree to recycle the billionaires. It’s probably the best thing we can do to make small amends for the damage they have done.

More like passengers recognizing there’s another ship that offers more to life as long as you’re ok with lower salary and higher taxes. Life seems to be better and it is.

I want people to realize that new housing today has a clause that limits the expected useful age of new builds to around 65-75 years. I just read one a few months ago from keller Williams, before a family member signed. It stated the house had an expected lifespan of 65 years. I get it, proper care and updating will keep it going for decades but a house should not have an expected lifespan of less than the average human lifespan.

Capitalism is not good for humans or the planet.

Fuck ICE and the little dick Donald Trump. Arrest everyone with proven ties to epstine, and destroy the checkbooks of every single billionaire by taxing them.

Signed pretty much EVERY FUCKING MENTALLY SANE AMERICAN.

Maybe, just maybe, Comcast should have spent all those government subsidies to update its infrastructure to full fiber and not bullshit like packet shaping, inspection and throttling to improve its bottom line and stop customers from using to the fullest extent the very thing we were paying for.

Before I moved, the local government subsidized fiber came into my neighborhood in 6 months (I was pretty far out there in the burbs) and I had 4gbit fiber for $80 a month compared to the forced triple play package I was locked into so I could have the fastest speed from Comcast (800mbit/30mbit) for astounding $350 a month. Top that off, I had a data cap I nearly exceeded monthly of 1tb and that cost and additional $50 for “unlimited“.

So good riddance Comcast/xfinity.

Though i’m the very tail end of genX and a “computer expert”, I pretty much think that the millennial generation being the only generation was all part of a solid de-education plan. At the rate we’re going Its only a matter of time where the tech we have today is forced to be only approved OS, controlled, monitored and IT capable people who know how to bypass will be arrested for violating the law.

The water is starting to get warm…

It shouldn’t be all that difficult to get this done, but it was. As a male in my 30s living in Texass, you would have thought I was asking them to murder someone. I had my 3 children, which was 3 more than I ever wanted. I love them, but I never wanted kids. And my doctor tells me I’m too young to stop. Legit 60 days I had to wait to “prove” I was still intending to get unreversible (at the time) surgery.

I have a sister like this, so i feel this lesson here is choose what you share. For me, tell her when you want people to know, but tell her its a secret so she stews on it then posts it to facebook for the world to see. I’ve been strategic about it, helps the process.

Hellmo, making sure that the kid knows this is peak life right here. Someone feeds you, someone wipes your ass. But tomorrow, well tomorrow you’re on your own. Hellmo welcomes you.

We Americans do occasionally get the dollar coin redesigned. Sometimes our leaders are forward thinking and recognize important historical figures. I have a few with Sacajawea on it.
