It’s not “what if we decide he’s super cool later” but instead “what if we decide later the new name is also bad, so we end up repeatedly changing something that we’ve deemed shouldn’t be changing”.

Somethings in the scientific community should not change — I.e. what we consider as 1 gram should always stay the same so experiments can be reproduced consistently. I’m not sure I agree with them that names should be one of them… but I’m not a scientist studying plants, so the heck do I know?

I’m not refuting that the price is ridiculous, but shat you have there is just one VPS with single point of presence and single point of failure. Hopefully (seeing the provider wants to charge absurd amount of money for 2TB) there’s a much more robust infrastructure distributed globally for better performance and uptime than a single VPS.

You really should have separate services for registration, DNS and hosting. That way you’re not held hostage by a single provider.

You guys have cubicles? I thought we’ve done away with that and mandated all offices to be deprived of walls and dividers since the 2010s in favor of open office floor plans? Someone get the office manager on the line.

Lemmy is bad with money, economics and business, also anti corporate/work, so anything positive towards corporate tends to be slammed with ignorance. I try my best to just ignore those replies / votes and move on.

Google reported to have earned 305B in 2023. Finland had an estimate of 300B GDP, while consuming 79.8 TWh of electricity.

So, in comparison, Google is massively more efficient than Finland?

What’s that joke? Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that?

Same idea here.

You’d find about half of people whose creativity level being lower than the “average” (technically, mean). If Gen AI is learnt from the totality of our collective knowledge, it should help those on the lower half of the curve much more than those above the curve. However, since Gen AI itself is not able to create new concepts, the collective end up creating more of the same stuff that Gen AI is regurgitating from its training material.

I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing. This doesn’t apply only to creativity but all spectrum of general knowledge, and should help with raising equity and equality for the humanity at large.

Are you by chance using something like Cloudflare? It may be possible that during the reboot the static IP changed, so your “gateway” cannot reach your router on your old IP no more?

In other words : it’s always the DNS?

The code check needs to have some time value associated with it. I taped the link via app, which loaded it in an in-app browser. After getting by the code challenge, I have to back out from the in-app browser to receive the message. Upon returning, the site sends a new code invalidating the old one, which prevents me from logging in. Codes should be valid for X minutes, such that users can fumble around their apps.
