  • Depends on the workload, really. 120 users using small services? probably. 120 users sharing large files or bandwidth heavy stuff? Doubt it. Also a lot of enterprise hardware is about reliability. Multiple PSUs, NICs, more robust hardware for constant load/network traffic, etc.

    Sure, a gaming rig can handle it until it can't. Another question is what happens when the box crashes? Is the business down until a new PC is built and restored from backups?

    A small business can probably afford two PCs, but scaling up and up eventually becomes a lot of trouble and space.

  • I guess my point is: By the time we'd be able to travel that far, we'd have the ability to make all such observations without showing up on the planet.

    Though on the other side of the coin, if interstellar travel were so ubiquitous, who's to say all aliens would behave in such hands-off ways? Maybe any aliens that would visit Earth would be the equivalent to rednecks driving out in to the woods to shoot squirrels. Or in a more innocuous analogy, bird watching without binoculars.

  • You seem to have a more nuanced take than the icon guide provides room for. No one in their right mind is going to complain about having legitimate safe spaces to grow, but it is by very definition segregation to grow public communities with engrained exclusion.

  • I think people are saying such extreme things because it IS that far for some this day and age. We ARE at the last option in some cases,

    I would hope anyone saying as much keeps it at a case by case basis, but it is purely ignorance that drives you to think it is not true for anyone.

  • Yea, it's a big reason I don't display much. I tend to like the bad examples as warnings or otherwise weird/niche stuff in general, and I don't like to peacock much anyways. So putting up something I'd have to explain is just not happening.

    I just dislike very much people who jump to conclusions, at least in more nuanced cases than the OP comic, like your examples of the kissing lesbians and Clockwork Orange.

  • Yea, the Heath Ledger joker is better, though that's a damn high bar. I just wish the sequel would've properly developed the new Joker, because they could've made it glaringly obvious how idolizing or immitating him in any way is a bad, dumb idea. Instead they made the lamest movie of 2024.

  • DuckDuckGo doesn't hide your IP. Your IP is a fundamental networking number used to route traffic to your computer. It can also change for many home internet service providers over time, so it's a bit stupid of Reddit to use them, though they might be using more advanced fingerprinting mechanisms and merely saying IP.
