I don’t think overprovisioning is a thing that is realistically is a problem in the U.S. or in Germany. I know that modern homes tend to have 300amp mains. Older homes 100amps. You would have to have a house that was wired in 1920 in order to have a 20amp mains available. In that case you have bigger issues safety wise.

Ohh! I spent some time in the U.S. and there are 230v mains available. They just have special plugs. All homes have 230v. It’s just not available through the shocked face plug.

The way that it works in most countries is that the breakers are per circuit in your wall. The breakers trip in order to prevent that single circuit from overheating and starting a fire in your walls.

Let’s say you have a wire that’s rated for 16amps. More than that and it becomes a fire risk just threw overheating. @230v that gives you 3680w per circuit.

If you have your industrial microwave, water heater, and car charger all going at the same time on that same circuit. This will draw way more than 3680w and thus would go over that 16a limit.

The breakers trips once you go over that 16a limit for safety. It’s a good thing. This all being said no sane electrician would put those three things on the same circuit. lol.

Circuit breakers are actually what enable you to safely over provision. Without them fires would just be a matter of time.

I know it works this way in the U.S. and Germany at least.

Out of curiosity how is life without systemd better? What does it taste like?

The reason I wouldn’t give advice if you didn’t want it because unwanted unsolicited advice tends to be useless and annoying for most people. If you didn’t want the advice I wouldn’t waste my time.

My advice is to focus on being able to organize your thoughts and write them out in a cohesive structured way.

This helps you:

1. Express yourself in a clear, understandable, and perhaps persuasive way.
2. Organize your own personal wants, needs, and desires introspectively.

Both of these are important life skills that are extremely beneficial. Using a LLM to organize and clarify positions is like using a crutch when you should be in physical therapy. On top of this using a LLM completely erases any personality in your writing and replaces it with corpo style speak.

Practicing organizing and expressing your ideas (like physical therapy) can be hard and sometimes painful. But you get better.

Using a LLM is like refusing to go to physical therapy and using crutches for the rest of your life by choice. Easier in the short term but bad for your own quality of life long term.

Places like lemmy are great for writing practice. Rambling nonsense is pretty universally downloaded. Lemmy forces you to organize and classify what you are thinking and why.

If you want to get started I would recommend the basic “5 Paragraph Essay” structure. In the case of a basic lemmy comment take those principles and make it a 5 sentence structure.

I hope this helps.

Would you want a piece of good faith, sincere advice? If not I can drop things.

Do you always have ideas in the middle of the night and want to post them only to have an RSI flare up and no laptop nearby and decide to use ChatGPT to write your posts?

It’s not just this response. All of your posts read the same way.

Like using AI as a writing assistant is fine and all. But the posts you copy paste over are mostly LLM structured arguments.

Why are you using ChapGPT to make comments on lemmy? What’s the point?

Exactly.

No problem. I just thought I had covered that when I said:

That’s some incredible stuff. Now days you can use things like XCP-ng to do the same but VMware was ahead of the pack for a decade.

They started dying when they were squeezed between cloud hyper scalars and the cheaper alternative hypervisors that finally had caught up.

This being said I don’t think even in 2025 proxmox and things like vsphere are comparable. XCP-ng I do think is though. It’s open source and matches features.

You’re not wrong in 2025. But VMware was able do it in 2003.

There is a major difference between running a vm on your desktop and orchestrating a fleet of highly available virtual machines. Just one example might be vmotion. You can move a virtual machine from one physical host to another in real time with 0 interruption to services running on that host.

That’s some incredible stuff. Now days you can use things like XCP-ng to do the same but VMware was ahead of the pack for a decade.

Then the corpse was bought by Broadcom who is currently trying to milk it before the body completely rots.

Small note. Opensuse Leap is EXTREMELY stable. Just as stable as RHEL and more stable than non-LTS Ubuntu. It’s just less well marketed in the English speaking world.

This article is from 2024. Hopefully it worked out. 😆

Yah. Like I said. Lack of prudence with plenty of unpredictability on top.

That was more than a day ago though. Trump’s lack of prudence ensures that companies can’t plan ahead. That includes the Taiwan based framework.

Very much so.

They are paying for the service and expect appropriate treatment.

Companies generally frown upon their data being taken. It’s only consumers who use “free” services that really suffer from this. After all, if you’re not paying you are the product.

It’s only weird because it’s not CarPlay or Android Auto. As soon as you have one of those it suddenly becomes nice and useful.

Then it’s a nice big touch screen that has everything you need from your phone.

It doesn’t work that way. I dislike Elon as much as the next sane person but we don’t need to invent new reasons to dislike him on top of all of the bad reasons that exist.

Kessler syndrome doesn’t really apply for purely LEO satellites. They all burn up in a single digit amount of years.

It’s not something to worry about yet.
