We get these in the Australian bushfire season, the weather systems they create can flip a 10 tonne fire appliance. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/dec/31/volun...

Jensen Huang delivers the absolute worst keynotes - I wasnt ready for that level of cringe and stupidity.
If you deleted all your social media and AI platform accounts today you would wake up tomorrow and be no worse off.
Re:Ferrari Luce – Designed with Jony Ive on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @09:20PM (#48288258)
That interior is perfect and suggests Ferrari DNA. Externally with those wheels I'm looking at the proportions of a Pontiac Aztek. Would have loved to see Pininfarina involved instead.
It just shows how degenerate the indoctrination really is, its just out in the open now.
Re:Decided to fly to the US to buy some hard drives on Monday February 23, 2026 @08:17PM (#47131583)
For some weird reason this story reminded me of Johnny Mnemonic.
The feed in tariff you refer to was 52c in the beginning and was limited to a 5kW inverter. I installed 6.25kW worth of panels with a 5kW inverter in 2011 and haven't paid a single power bill since. There's no slap in the face, sure I have to give up the FIT if I want the battery subsidy but I haven't paid a cent for power in 13 years (beyond initial investment).

You're not using DAC's ?
Re:Ubiquiti SFP Wizard on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @09:29PM (#45741541)
What nics are you using on the server end? Im looking at moving from 10Gbe copper to 25Gbe/100Gbe between Mikrotik switches and 14/15th gen Dell servers
Re:Ubiquiti SFP Wizard on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @09:17PM (#45741467)
Whats the best solution for short runs (rack) between Mikrotik switches and Dell servers. Will a DAC still work between different vendors or is it always best to buy individual transceivers?
Re:Ask HN: How to stop an AWS bot sending 2B requests/month on Sunday October 19, 2025 @06:11AM (#45633202)
If you run Google Ads for your customers or yourself and you through whatever means block the Google Adsbot it will come up as a "site unreachable" error and Google will suspend all your ads running. If you dig down further it will state some kind of DNS error as the problem. This is why blocking entire countries is problematic.

I am dealing with a similar situation and kinda screwed up as I managed to get Google Ads suspended due to blocking Singapore. I see a mix of traffic from AWS, Tencent and Huawei cloud at the moment. Currently Im just scanning server logs and blocking ip ranges.
Re:Framework Laptop 16. Upgraded! on Wednesday August 27, 2025 @12:04AM (#45035344)
Any plan to bring 10Gb ethernet modules to market?
Pretty sure if firefighters got there in time they could break the glass, unless they meant the battery fire was so fierce they couldn’t approach the vehicle.
Exactly my thinking too with my FW16.
Maybe you were an Intel user and couldn't be bothered upgrading to a new motherboard every CPU release?
It’s far better in the Seal and Sea Lion.
Re:Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @04:30AM (#43760130)
Synology have excellent backup apps for O365 / Google Suite - Ill have to see what latest Truenas has to offer.
Re:Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @02:41AM (#43759612)
The only moat Synology have is their software. How far is Truenas from catching up?
That headline makes it sound like he had to flee under the cover of darkness.

A 12 month warranty for a $3000 AUD motherboard is a bit rough.
