Yeah, in which case you wouldn’t accept the downtime and would drop the cash on redundant systems.

I mean disaster planning is about finding ways to mitigate things like power or internet going down to minimize or eliminate their impact. That said, accepting the risk of downtime because alternatives are too expensive is a perfectly valid decision as long as it’s an intentional one.

What you’re asking for is a CI/CD pipeline that deploys a set of OS updates as a set revision. I don’t the details on how to do it but that’s the concept you’re asking for.

Use a CI/CD pipeline with a one box and preprod and run service integration tests after the update.

I don’t think we have those in the US at all.

Anyways it’s probably like that because it’s eye-catching. Eg it’s an ad

I’m sure it’ll be airgapped and completely separate from the rest of AWS.

That’s why you build it in Australia and only give Australian citizens with appropriate security clearances direct operational access.

They’ll move to another platform

Yeah, I’m thinking of circa 2000 MP3s. 128k was the good stuff and lower was still common.

Conversely low res audio clearly sounds like trash.

You’re just irrationally disliking it based on the name “AI” and nothing factual.

I think that sounds like a cool use case. If it runs locally what’s not to like?

Yep, no one claimed otherwise.

“single party state”

“Be yourself” is terrible advice. What they really mean is “Be the best version of yourself that makes you a great friendly person that people want to hang out with”. This might mean trying to change yourself to be whatever you think the coolest version of you is. This is fine because it’s a form of self-improvement.

I’ve written a post that I’d like to distribute as anonymously as possible while still reaching a large audience

Sounds like spam.

IMHO, worthless though it is, I don’t get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG’s. They have lots of A and no RP. (They are Gs tho.)

Because in 1996 experience points, leveling up, character attributes, and magical loot were all closely associated with RPGs. Over the intervening roughly 30 years those mechanics have been adopted by games all over the spectrum. However the genre-name for Diablo-like games stuck due to convention.

Also Diablo being called an ARPG predates Dark Souls by 10 to 15 years.

Arch-install had me create a user iirc. Most of the rest of that page was done by installing the KDE meta package for me.

A lot of the things on that page are FYIs, not things you need to do. I still don’t know what you mean by detonate or disarm .

Disarm? I don’t remember having to do anything like that…
