My experience with a NUC that died about 18 months into a two-year warranty was pretty good. It took a while to do all the tests they wanted, but the responses were usually same-day from Intel's side. In the end I got a replacement, wh

This (SELinux) is why I started using RH-family OSs more and more, and one of a few reasons why I stick with it, even though Debian's minimalism is incredibly nice. I have a book (as yet unopened) on my desk about SELinux administratio

My understanding is that the methane decomposes into CO2 and water, so it ends up doing the same damage as CO2 in addition, anyway.

If I recall correctly, the removal is the ZFS Event Daemon from Ubuntu, not ZFS itself. Which is pretty much fine; it was never finished anyway. Ambitious project with which Canonical seems to have bitten off more than it can chew... Howeve

I'm not sure what you mean -- are you referring to at the end of the combustion cycle during the exhaust phase? If so, then because the exhaust channel is open, the gases in the combustion chamber won't be exerting appreciable for

Ahh, this reminds me of Toaster Strudel, of which I ate more as a child than I did Pop Tarts.

No, the risk of losing an SSH host key is less this (because of forward secrecy), rather impersonation of the server.

I also was sad to see this. I'm guessing it has to do with the legal requirements for warranty length...? Last I heard, Spain was one of few countries requiring three years (I think EU requires two). I could be wrong though, as StarLab

Huh? Signal uses P2P call routing by default. The "always relay" option is available for users who do not want to reveal their IP to anyone but the OWS service, and is found (defaulted to off) in Settings>Privacy>Advanced&gt

But...VirtualBox is a hypervisor, too. It says so in their documentation. I'm sure using the built-in hypervisor framework in MacOS bring performance improvements, but they're changing one hypervisor for the other. Anyway, taking

by KAMSPioneer 4y ago
I'm also confused as to what you mean. The hypervisor is what's running the VMs, no? So I don't understand your original comment where you say "hypervisors so faster than VMs" either. I don't think misnome is t

So a diceware-style passphrase of six random words is around 80 bits, and for 128 I would need about ten words in my passphrase, right? I tend to have a significantly easier time recalling a six-word passphrase than ten. So by your logic, k

I'm not an astrophysicist, but I asked one. She mostly talked about the galaxy's potential well, the galactic spin (which is higher at the center), and kinematic interactions between baryons (gas and stars, principally). I mention

Two very closely-related exceptions, and a host of very closely-related copycats. Essentially, one problem space which makes up a small (I would say) percentage of the use of cryptography. In terms of daily impact on the lives of random fol

I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. In case it isn't, I'm not a cryptography engineer but those who are generally recommend against using secp256k1 in greenfield deployments, and it doesn't seem (to me at le

I'm shocked that you didn't mention caffeine -- caffeine addiction, in my opinion, is rampant, especially among office workers. No judgment, either; I struggle without coffee.

Synology uses mdadm to create the array, then formats the resultant block device as btrfs. Btrfs's RAID code never touches your data.

Sure, and I use Bitwarden. I just don't use the web UI, specifically to avoid issues like malicious extensions, Firefox exploits, etc. I'm aware that web-based email and credential managers exist, but GP asked "...why would i

Not OP, but...my email and password managers are not websites. I have a local app that does email, I have a local app that does password management. So the extension could certainly access passwords I put into my browser, but I don't s

I agree that verification is easy. I think they have softened the warnings and behavior surrounding key changes to accommodate their users that have virtually no understanding of crypto (i.e. the majority of people). It's an understand

Oh wow, I've been working with ansible for a few years now, how have I not seen this before? I've even searched for it, but I didn't know what it was called, so... Do you know if this behavior can be enabled per-role, or even

Just passed two years into a job I got from a Who's Hiring thread. Emailed the given address and ended up in interviews a week or two later. It's worked out well so far.

ZFS still gives benefits with one disk. Ignoring the data integrity stuff (which is better with ZFS even if you have no ECC), you also get snapshotting, potentially boot environments, you can backup your data to another machine using zfs-se

That's basically how SmartOS does it, as long as you're doing SMB or Samba. And boy, is it ephemeral: the entire OS is loaded into RAM from a USB stick (usually) on boot, and everything gets loaded from the zpool, as OC said, and

No worries, I believe you. I was blue-eyed until I changed to blue-green around 6 and have had 100%(-ish) green irises since about 7 or 8. I've had people not believe me either, which is a little bizarre. Why would I make something lik

Speak for yourself, I enjoy using idiomatic phrases because I like conveying nuance and expressing myself using a common phrases. :)

Glad I'm not the only one! I visited with my girlfriend recently (she lived there a few years ago) and I immediately hated that recording. She seemed somewhere between indifference and endeared. I actually really liked CDMX, but I also
