Storm drains, aqueducts, and swimming pools are typically made out of concrete because it has the right properties to deal with lots of water. Roads are typically paved with asphalt. Unlike concrete, asphalt is far more subject to damage from water.

One of the main purposes of crowned roads is to ensure that water flows off the asphalt quickly in thin sheets that don’t cause erosion. A heavy flow of water on asphalt causes too much erosion. Also, pooling or standing water seeps into asphalt and causes damage and structural problems. Especially in areas where the temperature gets low enough to freeze.

There are also other problems with V shaped roads, but avoiding water damage from pooling and erosion is the big one.

Slightly V shaped roads are used where cars don’t go, like in pedestrian shopping centers with outside walkways.

I use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

Wait I don’t have a reverse proxy because I don’t need one. I just installed the jellyfin for windows version and then you just connect to it.

I didn’t. I don’t need remote access. We don’t watch TV outside the house.

Right on that’s great to hear

Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

It truly is!

Popular conception of the “Turing Test” is pretty inaccurate. What Turing proposed was a way of determining if a computer is thinking or doing something equivalent to thinking.

His test was not for consciousness and it was not simply chatting with a computer to see if it could convince you that it is a person.

What Turing proposed was called the Imitation Game.

I’ve modernized it a little but the premise is the same. Think of a game show where there are 3 people all claiming to be a brain surgeon but only one of them really is. You get to ask all three people questions and if one can trick you into thinking they are the real brain surgeon when they are not, they win.

Turing basically said that if a computer could play this game as well as any of the humans pretending to the brain surgeon, it must be doing something equivalent to thinking.

Wow, is your entire website AI generated slop?

You don’t like the one you posted to the Jellyfin comm labout 30min ago? If not then why share it?

Well its not wrong. Simply learning desktop linux will not get you a job as an SRE.

One of my daily faves is Olive Tree

I love normal software!

I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way

That’s not a hacker that’s a media pirate. It’s the same today. Get a VPN, a torrent client and go to piratebay. You’re there.

So what is a Hacker? Simply someone who is deeply curious about how things work and has a high aptitude for visual reasoning, making them able to figure out how to get things to do stuff the designer never intended. Such a person cannot be stopped from exploring how things work. Its in their blood. As such they will deeply learn anything they study.

Pro Tip: When you are wanting to ask a Why question, its a good practice to make sure the What part is accurate. Especially when it includes a broad generalization. Have a blessed day!

Thanks!

It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data. For the thinkpad, I’ll look into the options when I have a bit more time. For now I took the battery out. Thanks for the tip!

If you are creative enough anything can be dangerous, friend.

Thanks!

Oh, I’m fine with it. I gave up on the big name theaters a while back. I just wanted to make sure my kids weren’t doing anything there than management was against. I’m actually glad they have a place to hangout with their friends.
