  • It sounds like they are inspecting the oil pan for signs of metal shavings indicative of possible metal loss from engine bearings.

    It should be progressive because if you shave off enough metal, the bearing will completely fail.

    If there are no metal shavings in your oil, then the issue should not progress because it is not present.

    You should replace the bearings if faulty and there is no other damage. Otherwise, you should replace the engine.

    Interestingly, the recall report states that the ECM of the 3L engine will be reprogrammed but the 4L will only have the oil replaced if they are found to be good engines?

    Are they decreasing performance on 3L engines to match the lower than expected performance of the bad bearings so the engine doesn’t fail?

  • This depends entirely on your prescribed system of ethics.

    Duty-based ethical systems would say yes, because you have a duty to speak out.

    Point utilitarianism would say no, because the good outweighs the bad for that scenario.

    The other utilitarianism of which I can’t remember the umbrella term would say yes, because it’s better for everyone if people speak out.

    My understanding of Kant is that the unethical act is being performed by the government and that it is not morally wrong to keep a low profile.

    TLDR: If you’re asking, the answer is no. If you’re being pedantic, the answer is “it depends”

  • Docker: it’s a container used as a sort of sandbox environment for running various tools

    Federated: uses the activitypub protocol

    Self host: Don’t use services in the cloud. Build your own

    Fork: Derived from existing project (or process)

    Container: Sandboxed part of your OS

    Instance: There are multiple definitions but the one probably most relevant to you is a node of a federated network

    Flatpak: No idea. I think this is Ubuntu’s containerized deliverable

    Tailscale: I think this is a reverse proxy?

    Distro: A flavor of Linux

    Wayland: Succesor to X11. Gives you graphics on Linux

    Nginx: Web server software. Alternative to Apache

  • That’s setting up a fight with the federal government since, to my recollection from high school, federal takes precedence over states in pretty much everything they have rights to.

    Also, will local cops actually work against federal cops? Hard to say.
