  • To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

  • I'm a dev manager... I have 3x4k monitors. I watch server loads, I watch the build pipeline and watch the commit logs etc.

    Overkill these days, but I'm also a gamer sooooo....

  • Uber to pay Australian taxi operators $272 million in class action settlement

  • I once got a taxi from Sydney airport when I was there for work. The guy tried to go through the boom gate by tailgating the car in front. Broke the boom gate and just kept driving.

    Lots of taxi drivers here are completely terrible. Try to rip people off and have had a lot of friends file sexual harassment complaints too.

  • Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’

  • Australia is the most expensive place in the world for cigarettes so... The latter. But they won't ban it because it makes the govt. so much money.

  • I actually wanted to look this up. This is an interesting article - https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-evolution-of-alexey-navalnys-nationalism

    "He has never apologized for his earliest xenophobic videos or his decision to attend the Russian March. At the same time, he has adopted increasingly left-leaning economic positions and has come out in support of the right to same-sex marriage. This strategy of adopting new positions—without ever explicitly denouncing old ones—is probably the reason the suspicion of ethno-nationalism continues to shadow Navalny."

    I personally don't have really have opinion either way but was curious.

  • Which OS do you use for your homeserver?

  • Same here for the same reasons (although I started with FreeBSD 4.x) and have adapted to ZFS and Jails over the years.

    The POLA (Principle Of Least Astonishment) when it comes to changes is awesome too.

  • Australia. We seem to be doing OK-ish vs. Right Wingers, but we still have our own issues...

  • Problem is I imagine a lot of their hardware is under NDA so they're unable to. I appreciate what they're trying to do but a lot of hardware companies sadly won't allow them to publish a lot of things. I do wish there was more open-source hardware (and I say that as a huge open-source advocate)

  • Toshiba exec claims hard drives are 7X cheaper than SSDs and will continually evolve for large datacenters

    Jump

  • This is my thing. I have about 122TB of spinning metal (with the same as an offsite backup) with SSDs as ZIL and L2ARC. And it's awesome. HDDs I think will genuinely be important for for the foreseeable future.

  • Canada mulling ‘game plan’ if U.S. takes far-right, authoritarian shift.

  • Yeah our last PM here in Australia was very religious and a useless prick (who had to hire an 'empathy coach' I shit you not) and thankfully people realised he was an idiot. Sadly most of our parties have drifted right over the last 50-odd years so even our Labour is further right than a lot of people are happy with, and the Liberals (with a big L, they're fiscal liberals but social conservatives) got their arses kicked last election. Greens have some support at least and some teeth to fight where they can but they're not terribly well organised.

    But we do have issues with far-right groups popping up and the importing of terrible US ideology. There are SovCits, Neo-Nazi groups and very open racism from groups too. I've even heard a protest group chanting "Let's Go Brandon" because something something
