Well when you realize we treat school as glorified babysitting and not just education, part of the reason becomes more obvious. Parents work 40 hours so we need kids in school roughly that length of time. Especially when both parents have to work to afford to live.

We need to uplift a lot about the entire system for it to work.

Personally I would strongly recommend learning how to do all of this. And then abandoning it for tailscale or something similar once you know what they're doing behind the scenes. It's incredibly useful knowledge but it's also nice to have so much of the process automated and best practices like key rotation done for you. Plus unless your network is hugely crazy or enterprise, you can manage for the really great price of $0.

And if you really really want to self host (which I understand) there's headscale for a lot of the features.

They can return to the same spot, we promise!

The difference shouldn't be miniscule, though. If you've never been able to see a difference, my money's on not setting the refresh rate in Windows. It's not automatic.

Even without VRR there are noticeable improvements on the LCD deck from running at 60hz even when frame rates dip heavily, just because the frame timing is shorter so the new frames can be showed sooner.

My company uses a rather large tech support vendor called SHI.

Honestly I'd forgotten that this moment was so bad.

It last ran a week ago and we technically haven't tested it. Just our hot replicas which also just deleted all that data.

Fortunately not really, in my case. I stay out of the pipelines game as much as possible and focus on systems that enable better and more obvious pipelines. And then sometimes go tune some pipelines but mostly I find them to be pretty atrocious UI and much too snowflakey.

Aw man I've been making this joke thinking I'm clever for years but I read xkcd pretty frequently. I must have inadvertently stolen the joke from Randall.

I assume you're joking because that's not really how Lemmy works, for anyone who may not know. My instance is my own, for example. I'm replying to you via Lemmy running on a server I own.

Yeah that's fair. But also it's realistically vastly more complicated and almost incomparable because with $156B you can actually manipulate markets to improve your returns. People will buy your house at a premium to say they own Jeff Bezos' previous property. Etc. Beyond the direct ratio comparison, there are so many fundamentally inequal parts about wealth at that scale.

Say he earns less than a high yield savings account for a year (~4.5% currently), he can retire on only that year's income with over 7 billion in the bank and this purchase would be more like someone with 100k saved spending 1k (on a house).
