It will get worse when the manufacturers of the best performing hardware will be the cloud providers themselves :) I am afraid Amazon will slowly drown out independent CPU (and eventually other gear, but with CPUs the playbook is most evide

Doesn't really matter - the pre-sales checkbox mumbling something about "encrpytion" was ticked, so Compliance, Legal, and SecOps are OK with it. Nothing to see here, move along :-)

System firmware can (but not always does) include a mapping between DIMM identifiers as exported by the Linux EDAC subsystem, and DIMM sockets on the mainboard. In absence of such a mapping, you can provide on yourself via `edac-ctl --regis

Anyone who uses ECC DIMMs definitely MUST monitor what the memory controllers report to make optimal use of it. However, you can also set a policy what the Linux kernel will/should do on its own when an ECC error condition has been det

Back when the stack had been introduced to the game rules, and combat damage still used the stack to resolve/apply, is when the rules were the most fun to me.

I've been using Gadgetbridge, installed via F-Droid, to interface with my Xiaomi Mi Band 4 for years now and can only recommend it. For my device, it's 100% feature-complete, it's VERY polished design- and UX-wise, and it com

I disagree. All of our effort should go towards all (relatively) easily attainable reductions of emissions in parallel. Substituting consuming meat with consuming plants is such a thing for me, so I readily do it.

Since we had grasped the implications of this graph[0] a few months back, the wife and I finally managed to actually make the jump to drastically reduce our meat consumption, and also mostly replaced dairy products with soy- and oats-based

It does exactly as much as using `sysupgrade` with any other suitable image will or would do :) So yes, limitations apply - but for most users with a bunch of custom installed packages, this is enough of a game changer regardless.

With 80MHz channels configured (160Mhz are possible, but I do not need/want that) on the 5GHz band, I can get about 480Mbps TCP bandwidth over the air using iperf3. Client is a laptop with Intel Wireless 8260 running GNU/Linux. Re

There is a VERY elegant solution to this problem, called "attended sysupgrade", that is not as widely known as it should be. It's probably best explained in a video on what may be the best youtube channel on OpenWrt-related t

Since you specify US$, I'm assuming you are based in the US. Walmart had special offers of the at the moment probably best-suited OpenWrt device there is only a few days ago, where they sold the Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450 for 60U

This is a pretty significant release - it marks the end of iptables in the main distribution; the OpenWrt-specific translation layer (previously firewall3, now firewall4) for netfilter-related configuration now targets nftables. Also, yet m
