Wait, so all the '.io' domains are actually registered by people operating in the British Indian Ocean Territory? Seriously, .lan is just a convention. For all I care they could come up with any three-letter thingy, as long as the

You are not alone. Typing matters, 'internal' is just too long. I'd much prefer if they for instance would reserve '.lan' for internal usage.
363.
by deng 3y ago
Yes, but who would want .test, .example or .invalid as an internal domain? Also, they are too long (yes, that matters). What I've seen lately is '.int' for internal usage. While this is a valid TLD, it is only for internation

Nothing to see here. The Linux Doom version was re-licensed to GPLv2 in 1999.

Yes, and I think their chances are not bad at all. RHEL is the safe&boring choice for your run-of-the-mill web/file/DB server, I don't think there's any doubt about that. I think however Ubuntu is much better positio

Ubuntu Pro is of course aimed at enterprise users, and here it makes perfect sense to use it. ISO27001 compliance, CIS-Level evaluation with the Ubuntu Security Guide, 10 year security maintenance, live kernel updates for less downtime, bet

Exactly this. Lynch would be the first to say that his "Dune" is a failure. The movie is pretty much incomprehensible if you don't know the book. Famously, the first cut was 5 hours long, and he never had a plan how to get th

That is really worrying. He worked there for over 10 years, doing incredible work for the R community, and then just being laid off with 2 weeks notice, over Christmas no less... Of course we don't know the other side, but he at least

That might very well be, but I have touched 240V AC accidentally, and I'm fine. Don't think that would still be the case for 400V DC, whether it counts as "low-voltage" or not. EDIT: After reading a bit, it seems that th

Yes, but this is not what this article is about, which is to avoid the loss of efficiency by converting low-voltage DC solar power to AC through an inverter, only to convert it back to low-voltage DC again for most devices. If we are talkin

by deng 3y ago
Yes, you cannot reasonably run these high-power devices on low-voltage DC (12-48V), this is also said in the article. But the reason is not that these devices cannot run on DC in principle, the problem is cable loss. For running devices whi

As usual on Twitter, this lacks nuance. Copyright allows creators to decide how their works can be used. See for instance the GPL as an example for creative use of copyright, and RMS has always stressed that the GPL is a moral issue. It has

And again with the drama... The maintainer already said: he thought it was a clear improvement, so it landed on master. Now that it has landed and people use it, people react to it, and it turns out the old behavior was well beloved and it&

Maybe let's keep the drama down a bit? There was a change committed which made using registers more friendly to use for newbies. IMHO, working on making Emacs' features more accessible is a good thing. And yes, this of course anno

Parental control. Spotify has basically no QC on uploaded podcasts, and it is filled with video podcasts with stupid TikToks, porn disguised as "ASMR", and lots of garbage used for money laundering.

Very witty. Yes, the same applies to Deezer. What I'm saying is: it's a race to the bottom, and in the end, musicians will suffer (they already do).

Spotify is a completely mistery to me. I'm asking: What does Spotify really have ? They don't own the music. They don't own podcasts (OK, they may have some exclusives like Rogan). All they have is a license, a bit of softwa

This is very sad. It understand that everyone needs to put food on the table and probably Tibor got an offer he couldn't refuse, maybe combined with burnout working on these apps for so long. So I can understand that. That being said,

Audi usually scores pretty well (but again, it'll cost you, the Audi A1 is extremely reliable, but you don't get much car for your money...).

What a disaster for VW and Mercedes, but it pretty much confirms what everyone here in Germany is saying: reliability has gone downhill, with exception of BMW and Porsche (but it'll cost you), whereas Japan is at the top for ages, with
