I think the big motivation for the Omnia is the Turris project, not open source per se. Security threat analysis and automatic updates from the nonprofit organization that runs the Czech DNS registrar. LXC, Wireguard, and the customization

I feel it’s really pervasively good marketing, and maybe the performance was better back when the WiFi link was not usually the bottleneck. (Ref: Bufferbloat, hard to verify because Ubiquiti flouts open-source licenses.)

No, it’s a plain CRT. Monochrome CRTs can use any color for the phosphor, and cheap displays usually used some variant of green or orange.

Not just any lobbyist, but a fossil fuel lobbyist. He even dragged the CEO and a SVP of the California Medical Association to the dinner. Along with his veto of SB-127 (2019), Newsom’s just killing people left and right through casual negle

I lived in San Francisco through Newsom’s terms as supervisor and mayor, and heard about Villaraigosa, too. My choice was Delaine Eastin.

This seems correct. RC vs GC might explain how a Mac full of NSObjects needs less memory than a Windows full of .NET runtimes, but it doesn’t explain how M1 Mac with 16GB of RAM is faster than x86 Mac with 16GB or more of RAM. Besides, a lo

The 6-pin DIN connector is the same protocol as PS/2. It just needs a physical adapter.

And this is why I find the idea of Powershell to be intriguing.

It turns out that APC intentionally overcharges the batteries to maximize runtime during the 2-year target battery lifetime, at the cost of killing the batteries relatively young. And the overcharged voltage drifts upwards over time. I foun

No. There’s no way around IPv6 addresses being 4 times as long as IPv4 addresses. I mean, Google DNS is 2001:4860:4860::8888, and in the IPv4 style it would have been: 32.1.72.96.72.96.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.136.136 I’m sure if IPv6 were formatted

Not essentially what we have with IPv4. IPv4 is from the old days of 1 device, 1 IP address. RFC 4193 addresses are in addition to the globally routable IP addresses. Your laptop could have both classes of addresses. Your printer could have

For web services, one sad way to handle it is to proxy through Cloudflare. IPv4, IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS at the cost of selling your users out to a budding monopoly.

Yes, you should throw out a lot of what you know about networking. Port scanning _should_ be difficult in IPv6. Instead, you should be using DNS and/or multicasting. Having multiple ways to configure IP addresses _isn’t_ a problem. Mod

I previously used Hurricane Electric, too, but Netflix blocked it. A more practical challenge, Hurricane Electric is a 6in4 tunnel, not layered over TCP nor UDP. Some ISP-provided residential gateway devices (AT&T) don’t support 6in4, n

I don’t trust most journalists today to pump out accurate prose around the facts.

Hopefully they are too socially responsible to be “thrilled” with that. American gas prices and vehicle fees are scandalously low, too low to pay for upkeep of car infrastructure, let alone to pay for the externalities of driving and of bur

The 256 MB number came from the ggp post. At the beginning of the Pentium II era, that was very expensive, but it was not the only issue with running multiple programs at the same time. But clearly you want to have the last word, so I guess

I think we’re losing the plot. The ggp post was about doing all sorts of Internet programs at the same time on Pentium II era computers, and now you’re talking about developer tools on a Pentium 4. Maybe it’s simultaneously true, that you c

And if it weren’t for all that rest of the OS, the small fraction wouldn’t get the funding to survive to today.

Maybe it’s possible for opposite things to be true if they happen to different people. I wasn’t a developer back then. Windows NT required a multiple more RAM to run than the consumer versions of Windows (oh no, bloat!), and was much more p

IRC, SMTP, IMAP are protocols from back when desktop operating systems didn’t even come with TCP/IP. They would use a single connection for unlimited messages. I was using a “modern” chat program, AOL Instant Messenger. Alright, the mi

You are looking back at the past with rosy goggles. What I remember from the time was how you couldn’t run that many things simultaneously. Back when the Pentium II was first released, I even had to close applications, not because the compu

Xorg has definitely become easier to configure. Back in the old days, you had to write the XF86Config file, either manually or automatically during installation, or else it wouldn’t do anything. These days, Xorg auto-detects everything and

Prop 13 also contributes to the limited supply because existing property owners don’t pay their fair share toward transportation and infrastructure. The property taxes rise slower than inflation, while the cost of living (important for payi

Another reason to forgo rent is in hope of a higher payoff. Especially in California with Prop 13 of 1978, if the property owner has had a property for a long time, they can be paying taxes as if it were a depression while charging rents (o

It absolutely is easier to build offices than apartments. And I don’t have a lot of physical needs; I would live in the office if it were legal. As it is, at my previous job the company allocated a room to be the nap room, but instead turne

Hinge in particular isn’t giving me especially good matches anyway. And if I don’t swipe right, it keeps giving me the same people over and over again. I think it might be “designed to be deleted” by being too annoying to use.

NIMBYs also win in local votes. Most voters turn out for presidential elections. Far fewer turn out for state elections. And the voter turnout for local elections is frankly pathetic. The votes where San Francisco set a cap on new office sp
