A bit of a weird question: Can modern medicine be a threat to humanity long-term by greatly reducing effects of natural selection?
  • Plenty of answers already.

    I'd like to point out that it's not medicine alone, but empathy that changes natural selection. We have evidence of our ancestors caring for members of their tribe that would have been unable to survive otherwise.

    But while in some edge cases (some diseases) you could make an argument that it's bad for future humanity for some reason, it's overall good, because it enables a larger population. And a larger population has a better chance of mutating to fit changing environments. Or to phrase it differently: diversification comes first, selection can wait.

  • 120TB hard drives are coming, thanks to new Seagate tech
  • The info graphic suggests that they use the different cooling rate of the first and second layer to lock in the applied magnetic field of heat assisted magnetic recording.

    They beat both layers

    They apply a magnetic field to save a "1" bit

    Both layers are magnetized to a "1" bit

    The first layer cools down and locks that bit into place permanently.

    They apply the magnetic field to save a "0" bit

    While the second layer is still hot and accepts the "0" orientation of the magnetic field, the first layer is already too cold and will not change its magnetization.

    The second layer cools down and locks that bit into place.

    Neat!

  • With Sweden now in, us Euros need a wake-up call to INCREASE SPENDING NOW 📈📈📈💪
  • Are the budgets calculated the same way in all countries? Or at least comparable?

    I've heard that e.g. in Germany pensions for soldiers are not calculated as defence spending, because it's just a regular pension, the same civilians also get. However in the US the department of defense is directly responsible for that so it counts as defense spending. However I have no idea if that is true or if that is already considered in the 2% figure.

  • Hmmm...
  • He's using it though.

    I can imagine having a tutorial on how to hold and move your hands floating in space right next to the grip could be pretty nice for beginners. Or just make the boring exercise more interesting by watching some form of entertainment.

  • 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
  • Ok I thought it common knowledge but maybe I should specify.

    Datum is the singular form of data. Data is a collection of many single datums. If you have ten thousand anecdotes they do in fact become statistically significant.

  • What's the point of a reverse proxy and does cloudflare give all the benefits of one?
  • How do you get certs for internal applications?

    I use caddy and it does everything for me, but my limited understanding is that the dns entry for which the certs are requested must point to the ip address at which caddy is listening. So if I have a DNS entry like internal.domain.com which resolves to 10.0.0.123 and caddy is listening on that address I can get a http connection, but not an https connection, because letsencrypt can't verify that 10.0.0.123 is actually under my control.

  • What's the point of a reverse proxy and does cloudflare give all the benefits of one?
  • Edit: whoops, got a little bit sidetracked and didn't talk about cloudflare at all. I'll leave it up nonetheless as it contains info.

    The reverse proxy only listens on port 80 and 443, so yes, all your services will be accessible through just one/two ports.

    The reverse proxy will parse the http request headers and ask the appropriate upstream service (e.g. jellyfin) on localhost:12345 what it should send as a reply. Yes, this means that you need to have a http header so that the reverse proxy can differentiate the services. You don't need to buy a domain for that, you can use iPhone to make your made up domain map to a local IP address, but you need to call the reverse proxy as sub.domain.com. 192.168.0.123:80 won't work, because the proxy has no idea which service you want to reach.

    I found it really easy to set up with docker compose and caddy as a reverse proxy. Docker services on the same network automatically resolve their names so the configuration file for caddy (the reverse proxy) is literally just sub.mydomain.com { reverse_proxy jellyfin:12345 }. This will expose the jellyfin docker, which is listening on port 12345, as sub.mydomain.com on port 80.
