TACO Tuesday! Amazing his handlers even let him out of bed on Tuesdays anymore.

I respect your perspective and personal experience, and I’m not trying to convince you (I’m not even downvoting you, as it’s not a disagreement button). I’m trying to convince whoever might come along and read this that the small extra price is worth it if their computer is going to hold data dear to them and be running 24x7.

ECC is extremely good at covering cosmic ray bitflips, which happen with extreme regularity on software that runs and modifies data on the fly- server software. Yes, even home run stuff. That’s just playing Russian roulette, it probably won’t break anything, but why take the risk at least 10 times every day?

It’s also great at catching failing RAM sticks and preventing them from doing horrible things to every bit of data running through them. This is the failure ECC caught for me at home twice.

I have only 2.5 decades in the enterprise server and software space, I won’t claim to your 4. But I know I wouldn’t take that risk at work, and I value my home data more rather than less.

I’m not a researcher or even a particularly well practiced rhetorician, so here’s probably a much more convincing argument.

Or this perhaps.

I’ll strongly disagree. Anyone who cares about the data they store in their server should care about ECC. There’s a specific reason it’s used so widely by servers, not just financial databases or whatever.

There’s also a ton of misinformation on the Internet about it, so don’t buy into the “ZFS write hole” or whatever. But ECC is very important in my experience. It’s saved my bacon in a material way twice now, and in ways that normal RAM would have just silently continued breaking things. Really that’s not much of a price premium if you’re willing to buy used, so it’s more a question of why not?

There are many computers (especially business line computers including low power SFF) that will take ECC or even ship with it from ebay or whatever. Or you can build rigs with ECC, I’ve done this route twice and had good results.

Such a loud picture.

The education in those places is a huge part of the problem. They have probably never heard the ideas of these uprisings and massacres, and they were never taught to be intellectually curious enough to look into it themselves. It might’ve had a paragraph in the textbook about “labor rights” movement.

Gotta remember that the textbooks for basically the entire US are determined by an extremely conservative group based in Texas.

Still funnier than “comedian” Joe Rogan.

The Roman Praetorian Guard reborn. Hopefully less bribery.

More importantly, cares enough to not vote ‘R’ up and down ballot.

Yeah huge red flag when the only spending they’re highlighting is social security, Medicare, and wages.

I understand where you are coming from, but I think that recalls would be much more effective.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Matrix is the communication protocol between clients and servers. It can’t dictate how a client displays those communications. It would be like TCP demanding that webpages be laid out a certain way.

Correct. The Dens / Units inside the Troop need to be gendered and have separate adults according to the rules, but actual applications of the rules vary in my experience.

My apologies, my information is out of date. Gendered splits only happen in 5th grade for cub scouts now.

Don’t hide in ignorance. Those treaties were theft.

Because they sent their socialists into gulags?

My secret is that I haven’t been settled in years.

Nah, he’s getting into politics now and he’s a complete shithead goosestepper. Don’t feel bad.

I see what you did there

Sadly I doubt they have the self awareness for shame or humiliation.

I know you meant vlan, but I love the idea of a loyal tightly knit band of cameras and doorbells.
