It's a good practice to use LVM there between disk partitions and volumes. It has negligible performance implications but makes things very flexible when you need to resize volumes or add space. You also gain reliable snapshotting from

I think the possibility of fixing existing hardware in bufferbloat project was always limited at best. What can happen, though, is that good research results would find their way to vendors. Then, slowly, the issues would be fixed in new fi

Biomass, according to IEA [1], is 10% of global primary energy production. It might not contribute lot in the US, but for example here in Finland, wood biomass accounts for one quarter of all the primary energy production. 1: https:/&

Ah, that's interesting to know. Was the development system also RISC/OS, or did some UNIX variant do this as well? I thought in UNIX, tape was always used with utilities such as tar, not mounted as a part of filesystem. That shoul

To my understanding, the idea was to actually type 'sync' thrice, pressing return in between. The time it took to type it in again supposedly allowed previous sync to finish. There's more about it in this old usenet thread:

That might be true, but the number of transmitted packets per unit of time betray the bitrate of the video being watched. When an attacker is monitoring a transmission coming from Netflix CDN, the nature traffic is a given. edit: clarity

That might be true for net flows, but it seems that German production does not meet demand at nights very often, as per these statistics: https://www.energy-charts.de/power.htm . I do think that situation will get worse wit

Pretty remarkable growth in PV! I do remember that Germany already had quite a bit of wind generators in the early 2000s, yet they seemed to have generated around the same amount of energy as the PV capacity of today. And that's been m

They really are adding renewable production at quite an aggressive pace: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c... Myself I'd prefer they would use that extra production to phase out coal fir

Indeed :). The background of the term is said to be in some university, which had a rubber duck near the CS teacher rooms. It was mandatory there to first ask help from the rubber duck, before bothering the real teachers. According to the t

This technique is also useful for software development, and is referred to as rubber duck debugging ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging ). Verbalizing your problem lends you another point of view to you

My guess is that it should help with performance on full SSD drives and when there's a lot of small writes that burn through the pooled erased blocks.

by Maakuth 10y ago
You can only write once to every block, then you have to erase it completely before reusing. This causes so-called write amplification, in the extreme meaning that changing one bit requires erasure and rewrite for the whole 4K block. See he

In many if not most vehicles, not replacing belts after their specified age is risking serious damage to the engine. Still I agree that the official branded service is often a ripoff.

I've even heard of a technology for pushing compressed air in abandoned mines with surplus electricity, to be let out through turbines when there's need for power. We do all of the above (except the compressed air thing and superc

This article paints it as if we're replacing it all with wind power. Actually we have quite big nuclear power plant projects underway. Still, sunsetting coal power is a great target and can't come fast enough.

You might want to consider replacing ABP with µBlock Origin. It does the blocking more cleverly so it performs a lot better.
