I don’t think overprovisioning is a thing that is realistically is a problem in the U.S. or in Germany. I know that modern homes tend to have 300amp mains. Older homes 100amps. You would have to have a house that was wired in 1920 in order to have a 20amp mains available. In that case you have bigger issues safety wise.

Ohh! I spent some time in the U.S. and there are 230v mains available. They just have special plugs. All homes have 230v. It’s just not available through the shocked face plug.

The way that it works in most countries is that the breakers are per circuit in your wall. The breakers trip in order to prevent that single circuit from overheating and starting a fire in your walls.

Let’s say you have a wire that’s rated for 16amps. More than that and it becomes a fire risk just threw overheating. @230v that gives you 3680w per circuit.

If you have your industrial microwave, water heater, and car charger all going at the same time on that same circuit. This will draw way more than 3680w and thus would go over that 16a limit.

The breakers trips once you go over that 16a limit for safety. It’s a good thing. This all being said no sane electrician would put those three things on the same circuit. lol.

Circuit breakers are actually what enable you to safely over provision. Without them fires would just be a matter of time.

I know it works this way in the U.S. and Germany at least.

Is this copy pasta?

Exactly.

No problem. I just thought I had covered that when I said:

That’s some incredible stuff. Now days you can use things like XCP-ng to do the same but VMware was ahead of the pack for a decade.

They started dying when they were squeezed between cloud hyper scalars and the cheaper alternative hypervisors that finally had caught up.

This being said I don’t think even in 2025 proxmox and things like vsphere are comparable. XCP-ng I do think is though. It’s open source and matches features.

You’re not wrong in 2025. But VMware was able do it in 2003.

There is a major difference between running a vm on your desktop and orchestrating a fleet of highly available virtual machines. Just one example might be vmotion. You can move a virtual machine from one physical host to another in real time with 0 interruption to services running on that host.

Then the corpse was bought by Broadcom who is currently trying to milk it before the body completely rots.

That makes sense. Lol.

What? Windows 7 was probably the best version of windows ever just ahead of 2000.

Windows 8 was where the cliff was.

People look back at XP through rose tinted glasses. It was incredibly insecure in every way. Vista made the security architecture changes needed. Windows 7 was polish on top.

Windows 8 was where metro, start menu ads, auto installing unwanted apps, and ruining Windows control panel / settings happened.

I mean if you use the Marxist/Leninist definition of left then obviously not. But I mean left leaning in terms of the societal understanding.

But the fact that the majority (or perhaps less than half now) of the responses literally prove the point I am trying to make proves my point downvotes or not.

You have to remember the people who would literally unironically make such a post that proves my post are the densest of the dense.

Most sexists, while dense, are less dense than a black hole and would not prove my point for me under such a post.

You are extremely dense. It is 100% you in that picture because that is the way your bumbling, rambling posts read like.

Alas I have been shown to be wrong! If not for my womanly ways I would have been the wiser!

Stttooooppp you’re giving me old school internet sexism nostalgia. 😂 That 2008 energy.

Do you miss halo 3 lobbies too?

THIS. EXACTY THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.

Me: talks about issue disproportionately affecting women.

Lemmy User: It’s not really about women. Everyone suffers from this.

EDIT: Look at the responses to this comment for the proof.

100%

It’s really bad and lemmy is really in denial.

Sexism here is much worse than it was on Reddit.

It feels like 2008 Reddit here sexism wise, except instead of Ron Paul libertarians tooting their horns everywhere we have heavy tracked vehicle enthusiasts.

I did hope lemmy having a left leaning culture would help but it does not.

Try making any post that focuses on situations uniquely or disproportionally experienced by women and you get mostly “everyone has that why think about women” or “what about men” or “men have it worst” responses.

Sadly no. Licenses like MIT or BSD are free as in freedom but don’t stop others from taking that freedom away in future releases.

Did you respond to the wrong post? I’m not gate keeping or attacking at all.

No one is holding anyone back or stopping anyone from participating here. No one wants to limit who can use Linux. I want everyone to use Linux actually. That would be amazing.

All copy left software is foss but not all foss is copy left.

If gnu utils where MIT licensed instead of GPL we wouldn’t have the free routers that we have today.

Cisco fought against opening things up tooth and nail but was forced to because of their use of community GPL code. If the code was MIT the community would have nothing back.

MIT lets companies use community work to enrich themselves without giving back.

GPL forces companies to give back if they want to or not.

Why let companies enrich themselves at the cost of society if we don’t have to?
