For a couple of years I had a Linux NAS box under my desk with like 8 Samsung 850 pros in a big array connected to my desktop over 40GbE. Then NVMe became a common thing and the complexity wasn't worthwhile.

You should see the book requests posted to communities like r/printsf now. We have genre readers that have evolved into "I only read material containing this exact set of tropes" it's straight up weird.

Meanwhile I'm over here jamming Micron 7450 pros into my work laptop for better sync write performance. I have very little trust in consumer flash these days after seeing the firmware shortcuts and stealth hardware replacements manufac

Now that Intel's on the chiplet train too I think we're going to see a significant reduction of AMD's lead there. IME Intel is a bit better at the whole power optimization thing when their chip designs aren't gobbling wa

Hey, it's the Ian knot guy! I taught myself the Ian knot like 20y ago and it's one of the best small life skills I've learned. My shoes haven't come untied since. I think I tried to tie a traditional shoelace knot a few

I spent a year reading on my 10.5in amoled tablet, it worked really well for night time reading at low brightness with the night filter on and KOReader in dark mode. In some ways that setup actually worked better for me than KOReader on an

The multi-gen LRU swap patchset helped a lot with this issue but didn't entirely resolve it. I think it was merged a year ago or so and it's worth checking out if you haven't yet—it makes a pretty significant usability impact

For some time now I've been spawning intensive multicore jobs with nproc-1 or even nproc-2 workers on my Linux laptops. It's too easy to end up with an unresponsive machine when you spawn an all core test/build/compute j

My favourite plot twist in the entire series is our friend wih a need for speed in Excession. That book is one of my all time favourite reads.

I do most of my reading on a high end eink device these days and I still get excited when I can buy sub press epubs. Even their digital releases are great quality.

My 200+ fps quake 2 config sure did. If you weren't running 200+ fps for online quake 2 you were in for a bad time. Between a Celeron 333A running at 550MHz and a dual voodoo2 you could drive games at pretty ridiculous frame rates.

Yes but also no. If you have an exact string query that'll turn up the topic you want then, sure, you can find a topic easily. If your question is more tangential, say you kind of know what topic you're looking for but don't
