Do you want to upgrade now or later? Will you upgrade now or do I need to nag you to death?

I'm gonna steal "Klaus Kode", that one really got me.

Assuming that the person pulling the disk doesn't have the passphrase, what's the difference?

Oh wow, that never occurred to me! TIL.

What's the benefit of using the TPM compared to a simple passphrase at boot, in that scenario?

I hold on to my precious few mini-Bs. They also seem to have a tendency to break.

In German media, they always have a little "X (formerly Twitter)" thing. The rebrand is completely ridiculous.

The hubris of the courts can be stunning. Sorry from Germany. And thanks for the great DNS service, I'm using it everywhere!

It's a chicken-and-egg problem. Server hardware comes with VGA, because everything in the server room (think KVM switches, external remote KVM, local 19" consoles) is built with VGA. And that will be the case as long as server har

A Fujitsu ARM Server for normal people that I can buy through a normal retail channel and boot a freakin' generic Linux ISO... that would be great! (Yes, I'm aware of Ampere Altra. The space desperately needs competition and commo

At least back in the day, there was talk about Nvidia + ppc64le. Wasn't there even a supercomputer with that setup? But I guess that has fallen by the wayside.

by avhception 1mo ago
Huh. ARM instead of ppc64le?

I would probably suck at marketing, and my personal preferences and convictions have no bearing here, I guess. With that out of the way, I hate this kind of vague messaging. Yeah, the product will... somehow enable me to achieve some vague

In a way, that was my point. There is a market gap for a simple and robust 20 to 50 mbit, IP capable tech.

It really doesn't help that a part of our attention-economy has hopped on the "what (the government/big tech/car company) doesn't want you to know!11" bandwagon and constantly feeds into this notion that there

That sounds really interesting! Any concrete products for end users? Seems mostly chips and specs so far

I have already limited the "warehouse" SSID to 2.4GHz, 20MHz channel size and made an optimized channel plan that keeps the neighboring APs on channels manually chosen for minimum overlap. Anything else? Speed stepping? Reducing t

I'm no RF expert, and we're not a big company. I wear many hats, from DBA to local WiFi expert. And while there are certainly limits to what can be achieved without dedicated experts, I want to stress how DECT in the very same sce

We have about 20 client devices, I would very much prefer to throw a bunch of APs into the warehouse and it just works - DECT can do it, so wifi should, too. I'd settle for 10mbit/s!
21.
by avhception 1mo ago
One of many, yes!
22.
by avhception 1mo ago
On paper, yes. In the real world, that random Android client is clinging to an AP that can barely hear it while a better one would be available.

by avhception 1mo ago
Yeah, I guess I draw the line at the workplace. Some of these "Internet kaputt" cases turned out to be a rejected login to our bespoke ERP website.

by avhception 1mo ago
We need reliable, real-world ~20mbit/s for our warehouse scanners, not 382722 theoretical Gbit/s 5cm from the access point. And roaming that works instead of stupid clients clinging to somewhere or being thrown into a reconnect lo

My family doesn't know that the WiFi AP is not the DECT base. They understand when I tell them, but that's gone after a week. They use the words WiFi (or, as we say in Germany, WLAN) and "Internet" almost interchangeably

For me, it was Gentoo. I was a little bit lost after a bad time in the public school system, and not sure what to do with my life after that. I was fascinated by Linux, but never really got the hang of it. Used SuSE, which was fine, but I n

Anecdote time re: Over-regulation: We had a side-hustle, automatic sorting machines. Mostly nuts and bolts, but other stuff, too. About 10 employees. By some miracle, it managed to survive the loss of it's biggest customer (the aforeme

Sidenote: "AMD Drivers", in the sense of "something you have to download and install manually", are not a thing any more, fortunately. It's just nvidia now.

I guess it depends on where you would draw the line with respect to what still constitutes "Mittelstand", but in the small-town circles where my family operated our company, outsourcing wasn't really a thing. Most of the comp

My original Minecraft account got lost in all these shenanigans as well.
