As long as they are within 1/4" diameter variance this is true, otherwise you FUBAR the viscous coupling over time. Which is why most mechanics default to 'just replace all of them'.

Subarus are actually one of the worst-case vehicles for this. I really don't understand the love for those things.
My partner has one and with the 'need to replace every tire if you replace one' thing, ads showing up in the infotainment center, the battery dying if the key fob is stored too close to the car (real stuff, it's legit written in the manual not to store the key near the car because of this, ask me how we know), she's so fed up with it.
Edit: To clarify the 'one of the worst case', other AWD/4WD vehicles have higher tolerances for size mismatch than Subarus. Like, I think literally every other major manufacturer is better about this.

It's more like 50-60% and it depends on who's doing the breathing - the vast majority of O2 generated by phytoplankton doesn't become atmospheric O2 - it stays in the ocean. So yeah, us terrestrials would see terrestrial 02 producers as our glam rock stars.

Scientist says RAM pricing has risen to normalized 2007 levels, AI shortage undid 20 years of progress in a matter of months — memory prices had been falling exponentially for decades
Reply in thread
RAM manufacturers were colluding to keep prices high, as I recall. There were convictions.
Edit: Back when governments actually did anything about all this bullshit. Ah those were the days.
Edit edit: Hooooly cripes. This should just about tell you all you need to know about how shitty corpos are: On 5 April 2006, Sun Woo Lee, Senior Manager of DRAM at Samsung Electronics, entered into a plea bargain with the US Government for his involvement in the price fixing conspiracy. Following the plea agreement he was sentenced to 8 months in prison and fined US$250,000. Lee was subsequently promoted to President of Samsung Germany in 2009, and then President of Samsung Europe in 2014.
Conviction = promotion if you made the company money

If phytoplankton didn't exist, the things removing pure 02 from the ocean through respiration would die. In which case, the ocean would reach O2 solubility equilibrium at a fraction of a percent of atmospheric O2 and would stop uptaking it because there's nothing left to continue converting it to CO2.

SteamOS 3.8 is supported for *all* PCs with discrete AMD GPUs
Reply in thread
Wellll... yes, but actually maybe. Nvidia support on Linux is there, but it's essentially black box drivers and therefore hard to address issues around them when they arise, and they do. It's a lot more finicky.
Edit: Plus, Nvidia drops Linux support for older video cards that still work (like the 10 series), so the distros effectively need to drop support as well.

My gf doesn't really notice she plays on Linux or she just does not care.

I've also had a great experience with Nobara. I did try Bazzite, but the immutable nature of it stopped me from doing the things I'm used on Linux. However, I've got my partner on Nobara as well, and she's verrry much not techy and still having a great experience.

Or that even if you order directly from their site, the order is still fulfilled by Amazon. My partner actually don't try any more because we've recently given up after trying for too long, paying more, and still ending up giving money to Amazon.
Don't fucking blame us for billionaires rigging the system.

Yuuup. At the data centers I've been to in VA, there are smaller buildings peppered in which house small businesses. Bet your ass all it takes is a little gyro shop to qualify as sharing the infrastructure.

Centralized SSL certificate management?

Depends on your config, I'm just doing DNS (proxied). So you hit my nginx and that's where the cert is provided.

The only way we change things is fewer billionaires - which can be done. The power imbalance is too shot at this point.

Why not handle certs on your end and just use CF for proxy? I use NPM for cert automation with CF proxying. It's honestly ridiculous easy and I've had no issues.

There's a bit of this in the ffxiv community as well. Especially in the RP community, you'll have people who use incel language also looking for 'F+' interactions. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around that worldview.
