You hear all the time about how there's thousands of tons of high level radioactive waste and that sounds scary and huge but really when you're talking about the scale of an entire country that's absolutely peanuts. I do thin

Cable modems actually never allow you to change the MAC address. You're thinking of consumer routers which commonly allowed cloning a MAC because old internet services would hardcode a single MAC address per account in order to prevent

And how exactly would you even attempt to do that when you can't even log in to see what you're working with, let alone test anything. Testing web apps with something like Selenium is hard enough as it is, trying to only work on i

Eh... Delivering multiple cars over a short distance by loading them up on a flatbed or car hauler just doesn't make any sense. Tow trucks will always be more expensive than calling a taxi. Especially given that this is basically a tex

Heat pumps all have defrost cycles where it'll run like a regular air conditioner to heat up the outdoor coils temporarily to melt off ice build up. It turns on auxiliary electric heating inside in order to maintain heating while it do

It is. What's neat is that while other vehicles like the Chevy Bolt have an electric heating element to warm up the battery a Model S actually just uses the inverter for the motor to generate heat. It can essentially intentionally wast

He's spot on. Tesla vehicles heat up a cold battery pack when charging and IIRC Tesla suggests an upper charge limit of 80% for daily driving to minimize any additional wear from keeping it at a high state of charge all the time. The b

It's based on Vyatta, they've had it going since before the split into Vyos but as I understand it there was some collaboration between projects as they are both forks of Vyatta.

The edgerouter lite is quite old at this point and if the purpose is to use QoS to manage buffer bloat then the EdgeRouter X which is only like $50 would be faster. The edgerouter lite is of limited use for new installations nowadays.

None of this is about trying to prevent the user from using resources. The user is the one who is logging out in the first place. If the user wants to terminate all of their processes except for one daemon they can do that. The security ben

But this just isn't the case. If something stays around after receiving SIGHUP, it was probably because that application intended to do so but it could also just be a hung up application that one way or another is going to stay around

There's a couple ways to work around the issue, you can just configure systemd to not kill processes that were in the user scope when the user scope is closed in which case it behaves exactly as it did before. Or if you want to keep sy

If a process doesn't set its own SIGHUP handler it dies. If it does in order to gracefully handle shutting down but it's deadlocked then there's no feedback as to whether or not the process actually finished handling the sign

That comes down entirely to how systemd is configured. If you don't like what your chosen distro has picked as the default then complain to them. systemd didn't force anyone's hand on the subject, they just added the feature.

It sounds like that would be a very trivial way to reveal their identity. Get locked up for something minor but now the agent has to go through booking and post bail. I don't think the local police would look too kindly on someone prov

Pocket listings still pay both halves but are often discounted down to e.g. 5% instead of 6%. The agent tries to spin the situation as a discount to the buyer and seller as they "save" 1% on commission. One of the main justificati
