Unfortunately, I've pulled and built the PR branches and have only seen about a 5% speed increase on a modern zen4 EPYC system. Hardly front-page worthy news. Its too bad there doesn't seem to be anyone else in this thread trying

The movie Katsuben or “Talking the Movies” is a very funny and overall entertaining dramatized love-letter to Benshi era culture https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11147106/

Maybe I've been at this for too long and can't see the pitfalls of a normal user, but how is that easier than using an oobabooga one-click installer (an option that's been around "forever")? I guess ooba one-click d

I love repurposing thin clients. There were a few gens of HP thin clients that always seemed to have their mass storage devices die, and end up on eBay for peanuts. I picked up a handful of the 64-bit CPU ones and set them up to boot diskle

For a great, under appreciated (in the west) Miyazaki series pre-Ghibli, check out “Future Boy Conan”[0]. It’s my personal favourite, and all 3 of my boys (and my wife) have watched it multiple times. It’s the source of a lot of Ghibli trop

Over the last 20 years I’ve used each revision of the PC Engines hardware for all my headless firewall and network appliance needs, both at home and professionally. I have never had a single one die, even if the occasional flash storage kic

I'm an OG OpenBSD user (literal 386 firewall) so I've been using it at home since before CARP was released. When the first CARP release hit I immediately set it up on a pair of SUN Ultra1 pizza boxes I had gotten on eBay after the

I love gping, but wish there was more of an in-depth info/manpage. The one it ships with doesn't explain much (What's t/o, for example? How are things calculated?), and the github page doesn't help much either.

As nice as that is for a quick overview, the whole story was told rather well by Gibbon in his "History of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire". If that has whet your appetite and you'd like a more in-depth telling of ju

This is also something I’m quite interested in. I have sun Ray I bought just as sun stopped offering the server side software for free, and it’s spent it’s entire life sitting unloved in my crawl space. One of my tech regrets is that I’ve n

Logging trucks have this as well in some regions. The conditions for hauling can make it a requirement to just get in and out of the bush, and save wear and tear so the roads don’t get as rutted and need less maintenance in wet seasons

Neat! Thanks for the tip. I might integrate this in some of my auth, but I'll probably keep using simple auth at the very front due to its old age and absolute simplicity making exploits unlikely

Protecting the less tech savvy in countries with oppressive or corrupt government is a noble goal. I'm hoping major net neutrality efforts will be the lever for this. There isn't enough information on either the linked site or the

I was disappointed that there wasn't a clear successor to drywall coming. I'm not a huge drywall fan, but not for only the listed reasons. I hate that it gives you limited-to-no options to easily maintain, repair, upgrade or retro

unfortunately sweat equity (ie fixing a place up) doesn't add anything to your down payment from the bank's perspective. Cash poor is cash poor. Most people start off as young people or young couples with little to no cash and hav

A lot of people are cash-poor and need to make up the difference with "sweat equity". That puts them in direct competition with professional flippers, since its the same unrealized value that is being leveraged. The difference is

The economics of sawmilling are absolutely brutal, and everything is done for profit maximization on every tree harvested. Sometimes perverse incentives will drive things like eg the price of 7' studs surges so all the 14' 2x4 or

It’s a “coproduct”, the value of which is roughly inverse to the price of lumber and other finished manufactured end products. It goes into things pulp and paper, pellet stove fuel, cogen plants and if useless for anything else, the “hog”
