He won the award for his excellent ability of not being George W. Bush. In fairness, he really is quite good at this. I haven't really followed his career post-presidency, but reportedly he continues to not be George W. Bush to this da

I just use sshfs for most things today. It's by far the simplest to set up (just run sshd), has good authentication and encryption (works over the internet), and when I measured performance vs. NFS and Samba some years ago it seemed ro

mmap is POSIX, so it's not going anywhere and you can rely on it until POSIX systems are phased out or the heat death of the universe, whichever comes sooner.

I use a eGPU via USB4/Thunderbolt (I think it's the same? Not entirely clear). Works out of the box on Linux. No real setup needed. Main downside is that removing it tends to make the system somewhat unstable and lock up (sometime

I mean, that's kind of how the political system works in both the UK and US, and is not exactly a new thing. Often the "real" opposition are the backbenchers of your own party, rather than the opposition party.

Starmer seems to be under the impression that Labour needs to focus on immigration to stave of Reform. This is a mistake because most people don't really care about immigration as such, they care about cost of living, health care, an

This sounds useful in case you're the only survivor of a nuclear war and finally have time enough at last to read all the books you want, but end up breaking your glasses. While I would not be surprised at all there's something to

You can't seriously claim that this is good UX. And that's what this is about: not that it's impossible but that the UX is not good, especially for the casual user only interested in the occasional thread.

Sorry, I meant "roughly identical [to my Go program]", not "roughly identical [to the version without OpenSSL]". The ~/verify binary is my little Go program that is ~4 times faster on my Void system, but is of rough

Cheers; I guess I should have checked the coreutils implementation; I kind of just assumed it has one implementation instead of being a compile option :embarrassed-emoji: I also have an Arch machine where it does link to libcrypto, and it s

Can't vouch for every model, but on all the ThinkPads I've owned every single LED can be disabled, including on the X13 I got last year.[1] This is actually one reason I buy ThinkPads. Other models I've had were T61, X270, E5

Who? When? Writing bugs in Rust is trivial and happens all the time. "do_stuff(sysv[1], sysv[2])" is a bug if you reversed the sysv arguments by accident. You can easily create a more complex version of that with a few "if&qu

Prove me wrong. Find someone saying that Rust will prevent all bugs.

This is on Void. It doesn't have --with-openssl configure args in the package, although the binary also doesn't link to lib{ssl,crypto}. It probably gets auto-detected to "no"(?)

As an aside on the GNU *sum tools, I found they're quite slow. A few months ago I wrote a simple replacement in Go for UX reasons and somewhat to my surprise, the Go implementation of most hash algorithms seems about 2 to 4 times as fa

No one has ever claimed Rust prevents all bugs. This is such a tired strawman trope.
