I don't want to sound snarky, but since you mentioned that Redis does not document if/that "multiple key expiry is guaranteed to occur at the same time if keys have the same EXPIREAT setting", I am tempted to ask - why d

My advice: On eBay (or any other platform that makes it easy to buy used hardware components), go look for "sas2008 4e", and check out the offers. You should be able to get a decent HBA driven by mpt2sas/mpt3sas for around 40

I recently started looking into using an LTO-7 tape drive that I got handed down, along with a few dozens of pristine LOT-6 tapes, for archiving purposes. I got to play around a bit with SAS HBAs, and was kinda shocked how much of a differe

Sure, most software projects and products have their share of flaws and bugs :) I do not claim ZNC or our whole IRC setup was perfect, but for me and many others, it did a very decent job of providing effective, no-frills, getting-things-do

We had an internal instance of ZNC for human users to connect their clients to (at their option - but that was the documented and preferred way of getting onto the IRC network). Creating ZNC user profiles was part of the semi-automated onbo

Maybe that wasn't possible/enabled for our particular deployment (that was in the IT dept. of a big European bank), as we had what I've been told was a strange bastardization of O365 and other MSFT services - a mix of on-prem

I guess one can work around the lack of dynamic linking in a language like Go on the package manager and/or distro level (though some established distros and package management ecosystems, which I very much hope will not go away, wil

You are right, this change makes the drop-in snippet more robust: If one issues `set -u` before trying or deciding whether to redefine `:` (which would also be the effect of invoking the interpreter with the `-u` option), the variant presen

Interesting find! Apparently, also in POSIX sh programming, all problems can be overcome by introducing another layer of indirection ;) Would it be OK for you if I added that information/workaround to the article (crediting you, of cou

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read and commenting! :) Problem #1 (at least for the "advanced" part of the article's suggestion) is unfixable unless you boil the ocean and change the POSIX spec. I tried to make that clear

We had great wuzzler culture there (with a former semi-pro on the tech team back then), which eventually prompted me to ask them to introduce that "requirement"/nice-to-have to the job ads. Nice to see they still list it! ;)

My RPi 3B+ turned out to be fast enough to decode most any 1080p H.265 content in unaccelerated software on LE 9.2 without problems. Sure, at high bitrates you'll see more than 300% CPU consumed - but that's when having four cores
