It's on https://www.thefarside.com/ today as one of the "Selections of classic The Far Side comics." Comic says ©1984, but doesn't give a specific date (an image on reddit suggests 4/6/84).

Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser!
Note that it's not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.
I've been super happy with it. Knock on wood it's been super reliable. I have a single ZFS drive, take snapshots with various retention policies, nothing fancy.
Another fun thing is to set up a reverse proxy on it as an endpoint for services on your local (home) network which can only be accessed by VPN. For example, my Jellyfin service isn't public facing, but I didn't want e.g. my parents to need to set up WireGuard. So instead they can point their TV to a raspberry pi on their network to access the service
even a first gen RPI can handle Jellyfin reverse proxy over WireGuard for moderate bitrates!
"Necessary, but not sufficient" sums up the role of a degree for a lot of jobs.
Ah, right, that's why it looked familiar
pretty sure I've seen articles from there posted in one of The Onion communities in lemmy.
I'm not mad at the huge amount I pay in taxes. I'm mad about what I get in return.
Only disagreement from me (in California, USA) is that I wouldn't diminish the actions of our neighbors to the north by calling them "petty" in this instance. Nothing petty about standing up to a bully in whatever capacity you can. 🫡
WireGuard, and an external HDD. Run at a remote location for off-site backup.
I do this with a raspberry pi 3 at the in-laws. I copied the data over locally before setting it up, and after that it's just nightly incremental rsync, which is fine even over my slow (35Mbps) upload.
In undergrad I took a class on sleep, and it really stuck with me. I previously had some FOMO-esque aversion to going to bed early, but after that class if I was done with the day and I was tired, I just went to sleep.
It's been a good mentality for us now that we have a small kid, too. No shame in going to bed at 8...
I'd like to know more.
In all seriousness though, I thought it had some aspects of good, which was odd given that it's satirical commentary on fascism. For instance, gender didn't really matter and women were promoted, and while the shower scene was meant to show how fascism castrates the masses (or something like that, iirc), I thought it was a relatively wholesome scene, all things considered.
And over twice the GDP.
Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon seems like it's trying to compete with the Air.
