Standardised is a funny word, a car manufacturer doesn’t standardise. Laws and 3rd parties like ANCAP do.

When they need to do it to sell it with certain safety requirements, they will.

However, even if those happen, and car makers today start building them with that, it’ll take a decade or longer before you’ll start seeing them in majority on the road. So even if you lobby for it, expect time since I’d say less than half of all people buy new cars, so it’s not until the second hand market sees it will it be commonplace.

Right now the second hand market is starting to see things like collision avoidance systems and they will often flash brake lights when emergency braking on behalf of the driver.

You’re the straight man in a comedy duo. :)

But this isn’t how you read that?

Your family is in our neighbourhood and in this domestic dispute I’m just wondering if I need to call the police or the abundance.

Coming from a decade of vmware esxi and then a few years certified Nutanix, I was almost instantly at home clustering proxmox then added ceph across my hosts and went ‘wtf did I sell Nutanix for’. I was already running FreeNAS later truenas by then so I was already converted to hosting on Linux but seriously I was impressed.

Business case: With what you save on licensing for Nutanix or vsan, you can place all nvme ssd and run ceph.

Unlike the other commenter, I’ve never seen it and it looks good and easy enough! Thank you for sharing.

I’ve been in MSP for 15 years now and honestly it’s so love hate. The variety and change is awesome but the cowboyism keeps me up at night in sweats.

I’d never be able to learn so much anywhere else, but because it’s msp I’ve got no proof I know it (no training or non expired certs).

Not sure where you’re from, but I’m from Australia and so my experience in the 8 times I’ve been in Japan and 6 times in Taiwan, you don’t need a car. A car can be pleasure. You can use a car, but to move millions of people a day, really good public transport is needed. Being able to walk to a interconnected grid of transport, that can link buses, trains and underground rail allows for better night life, better work balance with being able to study or watch entertainment in transit, and everything is open and accessible. Getting back to Australia with hundreds of in-build multi storey mixed commercial residential complexes but primarily cars to travel makes no sense. We have a housing crisis but no infrastructure to support the density needed where the people work and live. But a culture who remembers 30 years ago when the population density was lower, labour was more common at warehouses not as much knowledge work and were more disperse over space, everyone had backyards with hills hoists, and two car garage and a shed. Those days are gone but nobody wants the infrastructure noise or density, but it’s too late. We have all that but without transport options.

Our trains are so bad that they need to be on 15 minute at rush hour intervals because schedules are hard and they’d crash otherwise. Japan has them coming every 2-3 minutes. Imagine going to the station not knowing the time table because at most it’s 3 minutes to wait after work for the next one, if it’s too packed, wait 2 more.

Your mileage my vary where you are, but in 10 years I can’t see this population growth and density growth being solved with cars.

I’ll bite, I miss the sysadmin and msp communities. I didn’t post much ever and won’t ever, but I learned a lot there over years. I’m not getting that here, and it’s pretty much why I was on reddit.

As a sysadmin, I handle windows, cloud, Linux, networks, BSD, and more daily. But the “Linux desktop is best” crew are more cult than community & my personal desktop is Linux, which I like, but it’s not the answer for my parents, my partner or most of my friends or clients.

I gloss over American politics since I’m not American.

I don’t hate cars. But I’m an advocate for walkable cities. I love cars in fact. I would quit my job if I could earn enough just restoring cars slowly all day.

But I’m still here. So that’s also a statement.

Yep. I am absolutely fascinated by it. Totally agree with you, you couldn’t be more right. I’m a heavy AI user and I love seeing those 2 minute papers about what clever people are doing with it, like creating a swarm of AIs to create a game using giving AIs roles and responsibilities and reporting hierarchy, code review, and more. On the other side I literally made copyright infringing material by accident.

While public ones might get some safe guards to help prevent people from doing bad things easily and intentionally, there’s plenty of unrestricted ones coming in, scraping the internet, training and offering a moral free AI. The arms wars have begun on all kinds of fronts. I can’t predict where we will be in 5 years from now.

Id be betting pessimistically though

I’m trying to get you to validate your point.

Risk 1: identity theft. Doesn’t apply, travel cards aren’t a form of identity. If stolen they can not be used as identity.

Risk 2: money theft. Largely mitigated to minimal amounts trivial if not returned.

I get it, you don’t like this conversation, you’d rather I do my own research than discuss alternatives any further. I won’t reply after this.

Explain the risk of fraud with a travel card.

What I was just advocating for, is taking ownership and control of the risk. If it’s your own entire bank account perhaps with a few thousand dollars, that risk is thousands of dollars. By segmenting that you can reduce it to dozens of dollars in which case, no matter the coin flip of bank fraud and money return, you’re never putting your eggs all in one basket.

Risk management is more than good insurance.

The fraud prevention page for my mastercard debit card is the same page as the credit card page.

However, what I really recommend is you can get travel cards that you load with minimal money and are entirely disposable. You don’t need to only use them overseas. I have used them for online payments and in person payments and they’re disposable. That is I can get two more unique cards with unique numbers at any time. Minimising my personal risk since they can’t be used as ID and I limit the money on the card to just what’s needed. If it’s stolen skimmed or tried to be used fraudulently I might at most lose 50 dollars but I also probably know who within a margin of error skimmed it since I rotate them with new cards every so often.

I’m also in a place where losing 50 Australian dollars won’t financially bankrupt me if it was stolen. Because I’m pretty sure there is lots less fraud protection on those travel cards.

Anyway there’s alternatives for those who can’t or morally object to credit cards. Like me. Mine is I’m bad with money, I morally don’t trust myself since I went into 10k debt at 18.

A slow running clock is still broken but technically right even less often. I use that metaphor at work to describe bad co-workers.

I seriously wonder how some of you read comics as kids, and if that explains who you are as adults.
