For Windows it absolutely is in order of listing however. Typical behaviour is no reply after a second against the primary DNS results in it moving down the list.

Redundancy aside, this is more important when you span multiple datacenters and always want lookups going to the completely local or most local DC available.

TIL about the Linux/BSD not having preference though. Good to know.

For me it’s because I’m hungry AF and just don’t want to wait for them to fix it. Not being that picky helps.

Ahh OK my bad. I’ve only worked with NTP for a long time and wasn’t aware of the earlier stuff.

Latency is accounted for in the sync process

Seconding Connect for filters, it was early to the game on this. I use keyword filters like ‘elon’ and ‘trump’ as well as instance filters and it’s been great for curating a non rage inducing Lemmy experience.

Dead Kennedy’s

I owned this tape 😁

I haven’t either. Maybe it’s because I don’t use any social media but Lemmy

Same for the mouse. My ratio is ridiculous as I just leave everything seeding. I also use a VPN that allows port forwarding even though its not a big deal in my country I still do it anyway.

It’s actually the number of brain cells lost every time someone reads stupid shit like this on the internet

I’ve worked with POS systems my whole career and I still can’t help think Piece Of Shit whenever I see it

He chose… Poorly

If you’ve ever been to a casino in the last 15 years you are already in at least one

Thanks for the post, super appreciate the posting of other communties. I think this is a great way to grow Lemmy and create discoverability for niche communities, I’ll keep that in mind myself on future opportunities.

Exactly the same here too. As a teenager we also all pitched in on a CD burner when they first came out and kept it at the BBS’s owners place, I just remember a single CD took forever back then when it was 1x and 2x recording speed. That allowed us to share a ton more without everyone having to get together on the LAN.

I got my first job with AIX in the early 2000’s after the previous admin did a reinstall of the OS vs an upgrade on prod, with unverified backups. It was a resume generating event.

They lost over 3 months of data and barely survived it.

Especially if its a system that you have told management needs to be replaced but they aren’t interested in spending the money…

Thats really interesting. I wonder how much the culture and expectations of norms in corporations makes a difference with this.

Have you worked in several all female crews as well? Its hard to judge when you don’t have a baseline to consider.
