  • UPS systems are generally configured for 90 minutes of operation, depending on the criticality of the system they're connected to. The best ones are programable and will actually send graceful shutdown signals (when configured to do so) to your server cluster to prevent data loss that occurs during system blackouts. You can emulate this behavior on your laptop with a script that checks battery% every 10-15 minutes, sending a shutdown signal if it falls below a treshhold you set.

  • You're mistaken. Laptop cells do not behave in this way or use LiPo chemistries. They're Lion chems and behave entirely different.

  • Some won't boot without a detectable battery cell. Depends entirely on the laptop in question what the best course of action is. Most newer bios handle charge profiles automatically and will prevent ac related damage but it's all dependant on how they were designed/made.

  • Laptops run on "burst" computing profiles in a lot of engineering situations, occasionally this applies to both the thermal design (runaway heatsoak if used at full tilt) but also battery design. I've seen several machines that will dip into their battery in addition to the charger to boost performance and dump wattage into the chips beyond what would be available from the adapter alone. I don't necessarily think it's good design, but modern battery chems don't really give a shit about up/down momentary charge cycles. Also the Chem they're using is not LiPo based as that chemistry while allowing for significant amperage to be drawn, is not stable enough for a laptop that is generally expected not to ignite.

  • Had a guy do that in one of the food trucks I worked in as a teen. Most of us made it out in time, the guy himself was young and tried to fish it out with tongs... I think he made it through, but nobody I know saw him around at school since then.

  • What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses?

    Jump

  • You can run a service on the same port with less processing overhead than a reverse proxy. Additionally it provides you some benefit in domain separation. For $25 I'd pick up one or two, couldn't hurt to have in the pocket and there are only so many of them afterall.

  • Let us not forget that there is not a single employer on the planet who would willingly hire and pay someone more for their time than that person's time is worth. Each employee of a company is making that company money. They deserve comfort because they are the company.

  • 😂 fair enough. I've been /mostly/ enjoying the 1-connector for everything revolution myself. It is kind of annoying that I have to specifically search for cable brands that print what parts of the usb c standard they support on them though.

    One connector to rule them all,

    A maze of specs to blind them,

    The consortium that forged them all,

    in tangled cords will bind them.

  • [Admiral Wonderboat] Physical Media Forever

  • It depends on the drive and the type of drive, but generally they actually start to suffer bit rot after 6-12 months if they're left without power at all. DVDs also suffer from bit-rot on short time scales, especially if stored improperly. Also migrating data or having a copy of it on a hard drive is easy, copying DVDs is legally gray, difficult, and they really only make sense as a delivery vehicle for the file to a drive or tape (if you prefer something genuinely long-term storage ready).

  • [Admiral Wonderboat] Physical Media Forever

    Jump

  • Something that people are missing with the whole physical media situation is that it being physical does not preclude it from internet connected DRM, server requirements, etc. It just so happens that around the turn of this century DVDs came along and lacked sophisticated/connected DRM implementations, but it is not inherent to their physical nature. Physical media also decays. DVDs generally have around 20-25 years before bitrot starts to set in. I love the concept, but you're better served by a hard drive than a DVD.

  • As someone who does understand the business negotiations and software implementations, you have some of the issue correctly diagnosed but you're placing the responsibility on the wrong person lol.
