  • Civilisation is ending, probably the whole of humanity and we will likely take much of the other animals with us. Humanity is an extinction event. Its all over but for dying now, just carry on living your life and just know this is it, we failed the great filter. We could have done something about this once we understood the problem from any point from the 19th century onwards but the failure of Kyoto agreement in the 1990s marked the point where we were always going to fail, it was the last moment where correction could save us. The last tipping point will happen in the next year or two and then a whole bunch more of unknown events will occur that we didn’t even predict. The temperature growth will continue to accelerate.



  • I use a 5600g on b450 ITX board and 4x 8GB Seagate drives and see about 35W idle and about 40W average. It used to be 45W because I was forced to use a GPU in addition to a 3600 to boot (even though its headless, just a bad bios setup that I can’t fix) and getting a CPU with graphics dropped my idle consumption quite a bit. I suspect the extra wattage for your machine is probably the bigger motherboard and the less efficient CPU.

    It is possible to get the machine part down into single digits wattage and then about 5W a drive is the floor without spinning them down, so the minimum you could likely see with a much less powerful CPU is about 30-35W.



  • There is no end to the greed of those with millions and especially billions and they aren’t content to just keep running a profitable business, they have to get all the money.

    This is just the history of humanity and finances forever, the one saving grace in all this is every big business gets complacent in its money making and seeks ever increasing profit (and becomes management heavy) until a young upstart finds a way to do it a lot better and cheaper and disrupts the market. Google has become the big lumbering unable to change organisation seeking maximum profit now, its become IBM.

    Make sure none of the exceptions are ticked and the Minimum number of articles to keep per feed is also 25 or below. Then its up to the cron when that runs so you might have to manually purge it and optimise the database to see what it will actually keep.

    I can’t say I have ever worried about it, been running FreshRSS for years and it seems to keep its database size in check fairly well and the defaults have worked fine for me and it rarely gets above 100MB. So I know it “loosely” works in that old articles are absolutely getting purged in time but have no idea how strictly it follows these rules.



  • The main thing we learned from the Germans was almost anime could do unspeakable things with enough propaganda and authority pressure. Most countries did not learn and change enough to stop such an event from occuring again, they assumed it was just a fault in German culture and most of the attempt to pursue and convict Nazis ceased with most getting away with their crimes against humanity. We determined no way to deprogram Nazism.

    Maybe this spin of Nazism across the globe and the horrors if is unleashing will put in place the right reaction when popularist start lying to the public to gain votes and stop it before it becomes a movement.









  • I don’t think this affects anything other than some really ancient machines from the 1990s which would struggle to have enough RAM to run modern Linux anyway. But the problem is I could be wrong about that and there could be embedded systems that do need modern updates due to internet exposure about or other systems running apparently old instruction sets all over the world. I don’t know so I would want to see a feedback site set up for people to say if they need this support and to estimate how many exist.
