- ELI5: What is OpenStack? How to get started?
Well to be precise?
- How does one install it?
- What is the difference between a hypervisor/openstack/a container service (podman,docker)?
- Should I go with Proxmox/Debian/some other distro?
- I already installed Flatcar Linux, is this also suitable?
- Existing back in time where the general temperature of space was 0 celsius?
If we copied/moved our planet and us as we are now back in time that far away, what would happen?
Could we survive, or are we bombarded to death by something, or something else?
- How much would a person need to weigh so they would start sinking when they stand in grass?
Trying to measure my roleplaying (non-human) character's weight, lol
- Tipping your landlord?
I've seen some posts about tipping landlords. I don't understand, is that really a thing? And if yes, how is it justified?
Thank you in advance.
- Grab a teaspoon of neutron star core. Teleport it into Earth's atmosphere. What would happen?
I believe the density chances quickly to match Earth's pressure.
But what else? Will it release energy enough to blow Earth up? Will its mass create some kind of an apocalyptical event?
- The atmosphere has stuff to do with gas. If the temperature was low enough though, would the gas fall down as liquid?
Would the atmosphere cease to exist?
- Can light be changed into (solid) material?
I have a feeling that this would be sci-fi but here it goes!
- What are we meant to be remembering on the fifth of November?
Are we celebrating the defeat of terrorists or are we remembering why Guy Fawkes and company wanted ro blow up Parliament in the first place? I'm American and, frankly, I'm confused by the whole thing.
- How do we have so many dinosaur bones?
As someone who believes whole-heartedly in evolution, there's something I've never fully understood:
When animals die, their bones decompose. If they didn't, the woods would be absolutely full of deer skeletons, and our streets and rooftops would be covered in dead birds. This makes sense, right?
So then how do we have so many dinosaur skeletons? Do dinosaur bones not decompose?
Or, conversely, if the answer is "A very small number of dinosaur bones were preserved through unique circumstances" then how were we so lucky to find so many examples from that small number? Isn't that a hell of a needle in the haystack?
And, not quite the same question, but related: Many ancient civilizations have myths about dragons, which are essentially dinosaurs (except for the fire thing). But we didn't discover dinosaur bones until the 1800s. So how is it that we imagined these creatures and then discovered they were real?
Can someone explain this to me? Thank you.
- ELI5: How do we see entropy and it rising at Earth?
Land turning into desert/wasteland?
- ELI5: What happens if you squeeze electrons too close to an atom?
I've understood that electrons move in a 3D field outside the nucleus and that they are quite far away from the nucleus itself (in relation to the atom scale).
What would happen if you pushed them out of this moving field of theirs, closer to the nucleus?
- ELI5: Google DRM bad
Non-techy here, I've been seeing a lot of posts about Google DRM shenanigans, but don't really understand it, and what's 'bad' about it.
ELI5 please thank you

- ELI5: What is a "Server Load"?
I've heard of this concept multiple times throughout my time on the internet, but I never understood what causes a "server load". Now that I'm in one of the biggest instances on Lemmy, this is one of the significant issues that we face. So what is a "server load", why does it slow down websites instead of stopping them? Does the load on a server increase by the amount of information in it, the browsing of information, or both? Does upvoting and downvoting cause a load too? Does saving posts and comments to your profile also cause a server load?
- ELI5: How does an icemaker work??
So I've looked at like three different articles and videos about it, but I still don't get how a fridge/freezer-based icemaker works. I want this mystery out of my life. :(

- ELI5 the Fediverse
I get it's like an aggregate of sites, but is it like it's own network kind of thing, where each site pulls from each other, or more like each site is a home, with windows to see into the other homes? and is it exclusive to just social media, or are there other uses for it?
