It's not that crazy ;-) I actually emulated your approach for release testing. Except I was using qemu VMs.

Yeah, I remember the copying. At some parties we spent a lot of time doing that. Some CDNs use HTTP with post-download verification (I hope). I suppose local caching is the reason for that decision; think big LAN parties with a "only&q

The recent discussion of Kentons LAN party house[0] reminded me to share this - since for some reason it seems this was never posted? This acts a simple to setup HTTP cache for several gaming services like Steam. Just start two docker conta

One thing I notice is the assumption of unlimited exponential growth by 2% per year. That's a huge fallacy. Quick check, yeah, 1.02^1031 = 735,829,316. I'm pretty sure we will be using magnitudes more energy than today because we&

Updates? Installing games? For our last LAN I brought a machine with LanCache[0] installed and mildly warmed up. I convinced the host to finally unpack his new switch with SFP+, connected a DAC and had the host point the DNS to that machine

As much as I like the L10su (recommended it to a friend and put Valtudo on it for him), caveat emptor: The ultrasonic sensor used for carpet detection is prone to fail. Most detect no carpet anymore (and proceed to mop it), others detect it

Yes and beyond: You can also use it for full software development. After all that's what it's intended to do. It's no accident 6 out of 8 screenshots show source code. I know/knew some pretty skilled devs using it for th

My key takeaway: GP is right, going PV+HP is a safe default; at least around here(!!). Unless you don't get money for selling excess power to the grid (batteries have become massively cheaper though) AND you have a gigantic roof. Even

Thanks for digging this detail out! I'm a bit disappointed since I was looking forward to playing this with friends again (fond memories), but I can totally understand how the dev might not have the necessary time to implement this.

Natural gas stoves are unhealthy[1]. Poor people already have worse health than rich people for a multitude of reasons [2]. So if more poor people get access to places with electrical stoves, their health improves. I only looked at walmart.

The Bitburger NA with the blue branding is good. Don't be fooled if you don't like the normal Bitburger, imho their NA is much better :P OTOH, if you happen to like Bitburger, they also have a newer "dry NA" variant with

If that's an option then that's the right way to go. There is a reason some MTAs have been doing something like this for decades now (I'm thinking of qmail). To be honest, I'm not sure if it's even possible to run t

Most (I hope all) distributions already run nginx as a separate user. It's best practice. But that won't help if you alias to "/foo/bar/www" and the the application has a SQLite database at "/foo

Ah, yes, that's an excellent point. Because someone else talked about 5% performance I looked at it with my performance hat on, not the security hat. OTOH we have BPFilter with its VM.

The general optimization is actually not that novel: A DBMS might do that for parts of a query. At least in a high performance database lecture this was taught as a possible optimization. Edit: I'd intuitively expect the improvements t

Thanks for pointing this quirk/difference out! I'll keep it in mind. Regarding the expected behaviour: I believe this is largely a matter of preference/philosophy. I have previously used trap handlers in bash scripts explicit

The forces are immense and act all the time. In your daily life, you don't usually have that kind of system, so this feels counterintuitive. Press against a solid object gently with one hand on each side, then suddenly yank away one ha

`sudo -k` is your friend ;-) But for an attacker that convinced you to run some malicious shell commands (e.g. `curl ...| sh` or copy/pasting more than you bargained for) that's only a minor inconvenience; next time you sudo, they

They say just before that: "Then we can say that 1 < n < e." Since e = 2.71..., there are not too many options for n. The sentence is a bit overconvoluted, but it's correct. Of course if the search space is bigger, you
