Overclocking isn't just limited by heat dissipation, and dealing with the additional heat generation is one of the easier issues to overcome. Much more limiting is the fact that the electronic components in the hardware (everything fro

Doing a quick search of reported issues around git repos, basically the trouble is that a git repo folder does not expect to be sync'ed at a file level, because repos are expected to be in different states on different devices, and the

As someone who has been developing websites for 15+ years and who stumbled across HTMX a year or two ago, I want to add a couple things here: One really really nice thing about HTMX is how easy it is to "spruce up" a UI. You say

If you're like me and you think xtrlock sounds really useful, it's worth taking a moment to google how to unlock your computer again before running it.

We had also had a power outage, which I suspect caused it to lose it's routing tables for some reason. Power was out for about a week, internet was out for about three weeks. When power came back, the Google WiFi was essentially a fanc

Same with Google Wifi and Google Home Nest. Also, fun fact, during an internet outage some time ago I learned that your Google Wifi can't even route locally if you don't have a live connection to the internet. That is, my Deskto

It was meant to be 6×10^6 -- as a quick soundness check, the sun's radius is significantly more than 75 km (636 / 8.5) -- though I agree it would probably have been more reasonable to just write "6 million km"

I think the thing that bothers me most about using "crypto" to mean "cryptocurrency" is when people write articles deriding the "nothingburger of crypto", I feel conflicted. Part of me wonders how many non-tech

For what it's worth, Andrew Gallant ("BurntSushi", the author of that post) is probably the voice I most trust on the Internet today. For a long time now, he has demonstrated that he is extremely judicious, level-headed, and

Yup. Both of those options were bad enough that I found a really janky [0] workaround to buy me the time in which to rewrite the entire image generation stack. I ended up writing it in Rust, and it's worked beautifully ever since. M

Doing so myself is the antithesis of depending on stable software. As someone who maintains a PHP website in my spare time, no, I'm not going to go backport a patch to a C library -- a language I have a passing familiarity with -- whic

Technically you're not wrong, though I will point out that it'd still be running the bleeding-edge unstable ImageMagick by definition. But even so, in practice, building ImageMagick it yourself, along with all configuration and in

Because sometimes "stable" software has bugs. A true story about one of my websites: It runs on Debian Stable, because I like stability and at the time, Debian was the OS I was most familiar with. It also does a lot of image manip

I think the difference is: With a game that supports Linux, you get people who have chosen to run Linux instead of Windows because they prefer it. They have also worked enough with their system to get their Linux system capable of running g

Not yet they don't. Currently the only internal parts actually for sale are RAM, a subset of the SSDs, and the heatsink. I can't wait until I can buy some replacement parts for my framework laptop from their marketplace, but that
