If you have an original Framework (from memory, 11th gen intel 13 inch), there were hardware issues that I don't thing could be resolved via software updates. I believe they worked in them for the intel 12th gen and later.

I run a fedora derivative on an original framework, and I used a command to disable sleep and go to a deeper state (hibernate maybe?) so it doesn't lose battery while asleep. And if you take out your HDMI, display port, etc cards and just use USB (or none) that resolves another power drain issue.

But basically, it's usable but not perfect. I'm waiting to see if there's another gen of AMD card coming then might update my mainboard.

I dunno, I like it as a laptop but I'm also seldom far from a charger.

It seems the RSA-155 (512 bit) encryption commonly used in the 90s was broken in 1999, no quantum needed (due to it being based on primes).

Though from what I can search up, reddit users from 10 years ago were confident a 128 bit modern algorithm (e.g. AES) would never be able to be brute forced, even by quantum computers.

I dunno, sometimes I wonder if not everyone on the internet is an expert.

But isn't the point that we just need to stay ahead of it. Surely encryption used in the 90s could be broken by a quantum computer today?

I get how it's possible, but this is Google. Surely they have decades of experience at keeping a website up no matter what happens!

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 7 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

But how does this happen? Surely Google has the ability to make highly available systems that are resistant to power going out at one of the three locations (as per the article).

I like to read the bad reviews. I know everyone has different tastes. A constructive bad review can sell me a game if the things that person didn't like aren't a deal breaker for me.

Possibly related to the whole mental load thing: https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/05/20/you-shouldve-asked/

When you have two jobs you don't really want a third.

It's hard to know overall for Lemmy, but I know that both Lemmy.ca and Lemmy.nz have surveyed their members.

Both were around 87% men, where as this selfhosting one is like 96% men.

I would guess it's explained by society. Women are less likely to be in STEM which seems to almost be a prerequisite for Lemmy and possibly self-hosting, and of those women in STEM, and ( despite what you might think about your own house) there is still a societal expectation of them running the household and doing most of the household chores, even when they work full time. A third job, selfhosting, may be too much.

Damn, and I thought the gender ratio on Lemmy was bad.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly. Not the over a million that it looks like at a glance.

The user count isn't helpful anyway, active users is a much better measure.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 135 points 1 month ago (21 children)

That graph is so misleading. Makes it look like almost all the users disappeared but the Y axis only covers a small range at the top.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 month ago

Ah right, I get you. I wonder if they have considered this. Pretty sure their free/demo tier is 100 searches not confined to a time period so presumably the platform could handle that model.
