From what I understand, got works more like svn and cvs in that you have shallow checkouts, so this would match the current workflows better even if it uses git represenation on disk, which would allow people to replicate got repos with git

But being 95% performant compared to native speed is not worth a lot if the "only 85% performant" alternative costs millions less, since you can often spend half of those millions on more or better hw and still come out with a dec

According to radio news, there was information about a ship leaving a Swedish harbor right before the incident, so they probably had to figure out all they could about that and if that would mean it was a matter for Sweden or not. They seem

Also, lots of places and software are "stuck" at HTTP/1.1 when HTTP/2 and 3 are already out. Why are they stuck at something that came out in 1997? Presumably it would be far easier to upgrade/replace your webserver

Well, in the 90s, you would be able to get a /24 by just filling out some paperwork. How is it today, how easy and cheap can I get a /24 now? Is it two forms and an email? The simple reason people have to start paying AWS for them

If you try "ping" and "ping6" towards a multi-protocol host, you see both send 64 bytes each, so while v6 source and destination addresses take up lots of extra space, the v6 IP packets have less of the "this part c

This is the same as if you get a /24 from your ISP, but the ISP has the .1 address on their router. In this case, you can't (easily) subnet the v4 range either, since the ISP router expects to be able to arp for all the 254 ips, m

My guess is that it is a sort of knee-jerk reaction. Just like the xkcd about CorrectBatteryHorseStaple, where there is a huge difference if the attacker knows for certain that everyones password is Four English Words From The Dictionary, o

I just love SOMA.FMs "Mission Control" in the background when I don't want any particular kind of music, just some nice sounds to keep the quiet away.

You can't mean it in a way where someone wants to play a game and you need to DL 30 or 100 GB before it will let you play today. I sort of get it if this was some unimportant background download being done, but for a game you actually

If you store stuff on xfs or ext4, it will cause more writes due to the journal, and since ceph is a DB in some sense, it also keeps a journal/WAL so doubling that is a waste.

CEPH would be one of those, which is more like a database using raw devices, and no linux filesystem (nor VFS calls) in between. It used to run on top of xfs, but now storage nodes (OSDs) talks directly to a raw device (or an lvm on top of

I used to use it until a year ago or two, via a fido->usenet gw and then reading the groups in Thunderbird. It is alive, but dwindling and is (sorry to say) very little like what it was in the middle of the 90s.
