> changing the page size to be the same size as Postgresql uses (8kb) Mind, you shouldn't really change the record size without knowing your use-case. Make a PostgreSQL file system, set it's recordsize to 8k. That's a good

Block cloning happened to expose this bug easier, but it seems like this bug might actually date back to the very beginning of ZFS with Sun, with the opportunities to trigger it being so rare, that nobody had noticed until now. I suppose it

The ball in the lower window only bounces off the browser's chrome and not the title bar. This is making the game harder than it could be (and possibly an unfixable problem?). Also I have wobbly windows and that makes the game hard too

Unreal Tournament didn't exist yet, and both Quake 1 and 2 were very much single-player focused games.

I tend to install coreutils on FreeBSD. Besides some minor annoyance with every command being prefixed with "g", some of the programs work a bit nicer than the FreeBSD-shipped versions (or some Linux-centric programs just want the

It's even possible that Nintendo evaluates the harm of these projects to be rather lower compared to distributing the complete games themselves. Even though it's not based in any legal reality, the projects' firewall of &quot

It's nearly trivial to get a file copy of the game disc if you own a Wii and the game. No copyright infringement needed to get the assets. Even still, the reverse engineering part to put the executable code into C++ is definitely copyr

That's probably a heck of a lot more difficult than just running a s390x container via QEMU user mode emulation. Even regardless of difficulty, building and running on real hardware is desirable to make sure that you've actually g

This article is about PostgreSQL's own official binaries. Debian-provided packages have likewise existed for s390x for years (and continue for i386 too, which the article mentions they don't do anymore).

Between Xen, KVM, BHyve, Hyper-V, the use cases for VMware vanished well over a decade ago. They'll bleed out their remaining customers until there is no one left.

Micro-USB is a variant of the USB-B connector. The whole point of A and B was that A ports were used on the "host" system, and B were used on the peripheral. If you remember USB On-the-Go, that was an attempt to reverse the trend

I don't even have any devices that use USB-C. Not a single one. The only USB-C cables I have are for charging phones.

The Jews have been keeping track of 7-day weeks consistently for the past 4 millennia. If anything, it proves that trying to break the cadence gets ugly fast.

Your own link says that they may decline cash payments. United States currency is legal for all debts public and private (it says so on the notes), but that doesn't mean it's required to be accepted for all debts.

Probably. File systems are hard to make sure to get just right. ZFS took just about 5 years to mature into a production release. From its inception in 2000 to production release in 2005. Oracle's btrfs (their attempt at competing with

They canceled those plans long before Oracle was even thinking of buying Sun. It's more a classic case of Apple's "not invented here"

VVVVVV holds up perfectly. Good level design, good physics, good gimmick at the core of its game play. The graphics were designed to be evocative of the Commodore 64 era. It's hard for that to really age when that was the intent in the

It helps to make a decision about whether it's worth buying. Of course opinions can vary wildly, which is why looking up multiple reviews and/or videos might be a wise idea. As an example, I've struggled to get people to ful

That seems like an awfully petty reason. (and does the forum censor the word "Russia" or something?)
