  • The way that it works in most countries is that the breakers are per circuit in your wall. The breakers trip in order to prevent that single circuit from overheating and starting a fire in your walls.

    Let’s say you have a wire that’s rated for 16amps. More than that and it becomes a fire risk just threw overheating. @230v that gives you 3680w per circuit.

    If you have your industrial microwave, water heater, and car charger all going at the same time on that same circuit. This will draw way more than 3680w and thus would go over that 16a limit.

    The breakers trips once you go over that 16a limit for safety. It’s a good thing. This all being said no sane electrician would put those three things on the same circuit. lol.

    Circuit breakers are actually what enable you to safely over provision. Without them fires would just be a matter of time.

    I know it works this way in the U.S. and Germany at least.







  • There is a major difference between running a vm on your desktop and orchestrating a fleet of highly available virtual machines. Just one example might be vmotion. You can move a virtual machine from one physical host to another in real time with 0 interruption to services running on that host.

    That’s some incredible stuff. Now days you can use things like XCP-ng to do the same but VMware was ahead of the pack for a decade.

    They started dying when they were squeezed between cloud hyper scalars and the cheaper alternative hypervisors that finally had caught up.

    Then the corpse was bought by Broadcom who is currently trying to milk it before the body completely rots.






  • But the fact that the majority (or perhaps less than half now) of the responses literally prove the point I am trying to make proves my point downvotes or not.

    You have to remember the people who would literally unironically make such a post that proves my post are the densest of the dense.

    Most sexists, while dense, are less dense than a black hole and would not prove my point for me under such a post.
