This is one of those rare comments that needs to end up with (-1, Funny)

Is there a guideline somewhere on how these groups run fully anonymous infra?
Do they get IP blocks lent by someone? Wouldn't they need a real name and card to pay for hosting, DNS, etc?

Opening a French video out of the blue and hearing some weird English translation no one asked for instead of simply adding subtitles is such an awful example of American exceptionalism...
I'm not necessarily going to set my browser to every language I want to hear with subtitles, but auto-voice translation is just wrong.
If you managed to get to Youtube, you can read and choose to activate it if you want, but stop with this English-centric view.

Yeah sweet, fits great on all those 40 bit architectures or chunks nicely into four 10 bit chunks for all those 10 bit ones.......

It's the generic all purpose business plan these days:

1. Announce in media you have signed up purchase order to buy a giant pile of nvidia jank.
2. ???
3. Profit!

Our network operations room has a debian 12 box with a pair of radeon cards that drives six 4k tv's and an ancient old 1080p monitor to display network graphs and video surveillance feeds. We run a different DPI on the 1080p one.

I don't recall it being hard to get running. The worst thing for us was figuring out the wacky KDE system of each permutation of monitors having it's own physical layout config. Drove us crazy as we got each additional TV connected.

Yes they fucked up, but also there is nothing else left, Google is worse for the reasons mentioned against Firefox and... Here we are

There's always been a section of borderline mentally ill crazies on slashdot.

I wonder sometimes what sort of lives those guys ended up living from the mid 2000s that were posting the netcraft copypasta, enraged rants about open sores and Lunix etc.

Perhaps trolling a technical community was the least harmful thing they could have been doing with their unreleased anger.

Pretty well every major server vendor still uses VGA for the video output. A few months ago I built yet another rig for my lab desks with a multiport VGA / USB KVM and a pikvm because all the stuff that is important still uses VGA. Pretty sad really.

They should have changed it to an E as in their new defacto slogan, "Be Evil".

Bruce Simpson from my country of New Zealand did a great video earlier on in the week on this.

There's some comparisons of some of the images and other common objects in the sky.

Nah, I didn't. I'll be charitable and say perhaps you misunderstand the situation. You can replace peak time generation capacity with a battery charged up with quiet time capacity.

I'd love it if I could do the same thing with internet capacity that we provision in my day job.

Power usage has a daily pattern something like this:

The battery lets you take some usage from a period of low usage ( like approximately 5am on that image ) to charge up your battery array and then discharge it back into the grid at the highest usage point ( like 6pm on that image ).

A whole lot of engineering is worrying about the worst case of your metrics, so taking some usage from your best case and using it to make your worst case better is a great improvement.
