This is not what whot meant. He meant "bare metal" in that Xorg is the display server talking to your input (evdev) and output devices (drm/kms), rather than running as a rootful or rootless child of another display server as

Fair point, but I imagine disconnecting is mainly to avoid live HV wiring throughout the vehicle, and thus reducing risk of catastrophic shorts or arcing. If the aux supply is near or in the battery, leaving that connected would while the r

24V is common in trucks, and yet never made it to regular cars because there was never sufficient reason. Using a higher voltage is not an innovation (it's an obvious change, and we've gone from 6V to 12V to, in some cases, 24V

This ruling seems to be decent: The judge concludes that the current legislation is valid and stands up to legal challenge, but points out that the legislation may be worth reconsidering as the world has moved in the past 50 years. The venu

At this point, the only type A cables I use are bundled cables that have type C at the other end because I don't have enough type C ports for all C-C cables. In other words, I actually need zero USB type A ports - I'm just without

Funny you say that, I can tell from family experience that USB type A ports are quite fragile to a vertical tug as it breaks the internal plastic bar at its base so you're left with a hole full of floating copper pins. It of course req

Bypassing composition is a key feature in Wayland. The protocols are all written with zero-copy in mind. The X11 tricks are already there, forwarding one clients buffers straight to hardware, while the end-game with libliftoff is offloadi

Flatpak itself is not enforcing this. You can ship a statically linked binary with no dependencies if you want. The runtime thing that flatpak supports is, ironically, to minimize and deduplicate common dependencies, and to be fair they are

8GB is not enough for even "regular users" - it just limps along with swap to SSD, but video memory from those same 8GB cannot be swapped out. 8GB is what you put in a phone nowadays. This is also not about cost - if it was, the

This is honestly so incredibly backwards: The big companies cannot lose anything that matters to them, as they're too big and powerful, brushing off even the worst publicity. A small company collapses under pressure, and can be kille

1/4th was merely an example for one resource type, and a suitable limit may be much lower depending on the cluster and workloads. The point is that a limit set to 1/workloads guarantees wasted resources, and should be set signific

Sure, then don't use any earbuds that contain batteries. We're dealing with tiny batteries in the 100mWh range here, which is less than 1/100th of phones famous for their... combustibility. Ejection of hot gas requires there

The energy of such fire is directly correlated to the battery capacity - airpods would probably just get hot and smoke a bit. The case could do more, but still limited in comparison to, say, a phone. So I'd say the main risk of putting

If you have wall strong enough to block a missile, there is no value in putting a paper wall in front of it. "And" only wastes and confuses. Attack surface is defined by the service, not by which malicious actors you expose it to.

It does not matter how strong the auth is. As long as people can authenticate - regardless of how - there's a hole in the perimeter, and your security reduces to the capabilities of what is behind. Attacks do not even have to be target

Auth before accessing a network - perimeter-based security - is the old-fashioned corporate security model. It is generally considered a broken band-aid, as you end up with vulnerable or outright unprotected services behind a wall that many

In most hotels you can just drop the keycard at the front desk and leave. They know what to do. There’s also a lot of people that set the A/C to 18 degrees and leave, which is terrible.

I wish the R2 access control was similar to S3 - able to issue keys with specific accesses to particular prefixes, and ability to delegate ability to create keys. It currently feels a little limited and… bolted on to the Cloudflare UI.
