IPFS (at least initially) was designed to be a BitTorrent replacement, a new version of it, which you can use not only with a special software, but also via HTTP and also directly inside the browser. It basically works as BitTorrent, but al

I use it for about 5 years, to publish javascript file (proxy auto-configuration) and serve the contents over different gateways. It is a huge server traffic saver. Used to use it to host different static websites on custom domains while Cl

For HDD, it also needs to be tuned. In its default configuration, MGLRU 'just' manages multiple generations of working sets, but there's a min_ttl_ms tunable which tries hard to prevent file cache from being reclaimed, which

And not a word about MGLRU and its settings. It has the biggest impact on performance on lower-end PCs, especially with low amount of RAM and slow HDD. Here's a post from "le9" patch user which was created by ChromeOS develop

In the dark ages, when printers were PostScript and more powerful (and expensive) than the computers which printed on them, you added fonts by installing additional hardware modules, similar to a game console cartridge.

It is not exactly well documented, dpkg-buildpackage (debhelper) has cross-compilation wrappers for autoconf, cmake, qmake, meson, ninja, ant, perl/python, maven, gradle, bmake, golang, probably others. Here'a s quick start for a

Wow, no cross-compilation as a feature?! Architecture emulation with qemu-userspace is 5-10x slower than running a native build. The only 'proper' no-friction cross-compilation system I know is Debian/Ubuntu, because it allow

It still is a problem in general, that's why fonts now have webassembly in it. This repository has a good outlook: https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz-wasm-examples

This is true for the majority of open-source projects, but the most serious ones, on which a lot of software/businesses/infrastructure depends, are controlled by foundations or some kind of other management entity. cURL also offer

You can read why people prefer 24 fps movies instead of high-fps ones. I'm quite puzzled by the article. Animations in software are transitions, it should not be perfect in UI sense, because it might look weird to the human eye in this

That's right, it's easier to setup such MiTM using an intermediate server, because only getting the private key of the certificate won't get you the user's traffic due to PFS. You either need to disable PFS on the server
