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.

I owned this tape 😁

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…

Yeah it happens because you are getting proper REM sleep and I know exactly what you mean about the intensity.

The same that they are not nightmares but are just intense to the point of exhausting some nights. Its like having to live two lives… I just want to sleep haha.

We are always one negative vote away from oblivion

Not only that, but it’s no longer your problem when its in the cloud. You can blame the cloud for everything!
