Is it really necessary to add this header to each and every response?! I feel like it might be sufficent to add this header just to documents like *.html.

True, but I do not consider nearline archiving to be a workload that requires lots of IOPS.

If I understood it correctly, then they are using simple physical disk mirrors for redundancy. To me that seems like a huge waste of disk space. Parity based redundancy schemes like RAID-Z3 are way more space efficient. I do understand that

In case one is using LineageOS, what keyboard is used then? Is it the vanilla AOSP keyboard? How does the LineageOS keyboard compare to privacy conscious keyboards like this one or the AnysoftKeyboard?

I'm sorry, if I wasn't making this clear enough. I'm not proposing to remove DIMMs. I'm merely suggesting to run the Java VM with the same amount of memory/heap for all the platforms. That is purely a software setti

I have a little doubt about the results of the Java benchmarks. I think the JVM tests should have been executed with the same amount of heap allocated for each platform in order to get the internal dynamics/heuristics of the JVM to be

Great article! I acknowledge that this is an honest mistake that might happen to me anytime. I guess human error is the likeliest cause of data loss nowadays... :( Anyways for my ext4 ubuntu desktop I immediately made some changes in respon

Using ZFS is no replacement for backups. Still, this would have been a non-issue on a ZFS system: /var/recordings $ ll .zfs/snapshot/ total 72 drwxr-x---+ 7 root root 7 Apr 9 2019 0003/ drwxr-x---+ 7 r

I do not play 3D games in the browser. If that is a usecase, then webGL has to be enabled of curse. If browser games were a usecase of mine, then I'd keep my safe "daily driver" Firefox for surfing the WWW with the mentioned

I'd suggest to disable webRTC and webGL (unrelated to this particular issue but still) in the browser for fingerprinting reasons alone. e.g. firefox > about:config: * media.peerconnection.enabled false * webgl.disabled true

Seems plausible to me. I guess it would be pretty hard to maintain a TPD of about 200W for 80 3GHz ARM cores [1]. The bus traffic to synchronize 80 CPU caches can probably be significant. [1] https://www.anandtech.com/show&#

TBH I think so, too. I guess this is just a glorified global network drive to put all the different, country-specific documents like Excel sheets, Word docs, PDFs and some such. https://youtu.be/GI5kwSap9Ug?t=63

Yep, workload matters. Generational garbage collectors are fundamentally at odds with caching/pooling of objects. They are based on the assumption that objects die young. Typically that is not the case for internal caches, though. Cac

One can improve the JAVA result by allowing the JIT compiler to inline the recursive calls. -XX:MaxRecursiveInlineLevel=1 (default): 6.667 s -XX:MaxRecursiveInlineLevel=2: 6.141 s -XX:MaxRecursiveInlineLevel=3:

The fact that there is no native JAVA encoder for Brotli is an obstacle for the adoption in the enterprise segment.
