Client -> Reverse Proxy -> Upstream Server

It's quite rare these days for a client (eg web browser, video game, phone app... anything that needs an internet connection, really) to directly connect to the server that is actually serving the request.

It often goes through a reverse proxy which can direct the request to the "best" server (reverse proxies can have multiple upstream servers, either as a cluster that can share the load all dealing with the same service, as a bunch of different services, or both).

This has a lot of benefits for service admins (at the cost of mild complexity), and has near-zero cost for clients.

Plasma 7 is being renamed Desktop For Plasma365 2027 edition.
Everything is electron apps. Native apps are ran as web assembly inside an electron app.
There will be no UI, only a shitty AI chatbox that is always suggesting results from askjeeves (and takes 5 seconds before it suggests anything from your local machine).
Oh, and it's a monthly licence now.
And it's actually just a laggy local UI of the actual desktop that is ran in the cloud on a container with 512mb ram and 1 CPU.

Oh wait, this isn't microslop.
Good things on Linux (generally) stay the same or get better, not different so "line goes up".
I think I'm still getting over the windows PTSD

I read it as "pick up support for the FOSS projects" as opposed to user IT support.
So, contributing to the FOSS.
Even sponsorship would be awesome, in a "we can't do the tech stuff, but here is 10% of what we saved" kinda way

Probably not even mentioned by reform.
They will be anti-immigrant pro-taxcuts "make everything better (without having to explain how)" kinda deal

Does "9GW data center" not mean "a data center that consumes 9GW of power"?
Or is it "9GW of computers + 5GW of cooling + something"?

Yup. It's not giving an example so "e.g." doesn't make sense

For example fake bible verse

Or, the bill fails.
But all of its objectives get packaged attached to other bills that are actually required to be passed.
So you get some random bill about the shape of car exhausts which suddenly requires OS providers to verify users ages

Well, no. But then it gets rejected, and further PRs that also fail the check will likely get you banned from contributing.

The human is responsible.
If the code or PR fails, the human has to own that.
If the human fails to own that, the human gets banned

As a non-american, the speed with which trump has dismantled international relations and the lethargic (even non-existant) reaction of the "checks and balances" that should prevent such things says to me:
If America has done it once, America can do it again.
It can spend 30-50 years building strong relationships, or it can devastated them in 1-2 years.
Seems better to work without America, and let America do it's own thing.
If America wants to join in, fine. But it's gonna be on the world's terms, not Americas.

Yeh, AI as an assistant/tool. Not as a replacement

2026 Debian Vs 2001 windows?
Or 2001 Debian Vs 2001 windows?

Cause 2001 Debian 2.2 was like 4MB ram, maybe 16 if you are really going for it!

So yeh, let's continue comparing apples and oranges.
FreeRTOS is bloatware cause we were able to orbit a sphere that could reflect radio waves with a bunch of tubes and a handful of germanium.

What the fuck is this "windows xp Vs modern Debian" shit?

It's the "wall and make them pay for it" it's the "tarrifs and make them pay for it" now its "war and make them pay for it".
