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.

Me too, over 1400 hours. I use a lot of mods. I take a break for a year or more at a time and then get hooked again. I’m trying to wait for the NPC update until I do again

Especially factorio with mods. I play with bob and angels mod which massively increases the complexity. I use infinite ore as well because anything on a timeline stresses me. I have over 2000 hrs in it.

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

Another happy Connect user here and you can enable the beta branch from the play store. I ran into a bug a few months ago and made a post, the Dev had it fixed hours later.

Connect was also one of the very few apps that was very early to doing instance and other flexible filtering options. It’s so good I can browse All without getting upset.

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.

We’re up to 8 billion now, it’s crazy

I owned this tape 😁

You can’t choose what other people are allowed to think.

There are always going to be evil people. Things that lead to evil people doing more damage then good is what regulation is for, like workplace safety, etc.

These are good points.

Success to me is health, friends and family, video games, and being able to do something I love while making enough money to maximize those things as best as I can. It’s always a balance.

I think everyone should define success on thier own terms. I feel lucky that none of the typical western desires of status or shiny objects interest me at all.

Success is where luck meets opportunity.

If you don’t give yourself the opportunity you can never be lucky. The better you can set yourself up for opportunities the better you can make luck work for you when it arrives, both good and bad.
