Wow! pgbackrest was definitely the premier backup solution for postgres when I last looked at the ecosystem properly. It was the only solution that seemed to take restoring and validating as seriously as “taking a backup” which lead to an

Wish there was someone willing to make custom mainboards and panel upgrades for old laptops. I’d still be using an x201s. Best laptop I ever owned, everything else has been a downgrade build-wise. But I need the battery and performance.

Sure, and those exist. MNT Reform for example; https://mntre.com/ The laptops I mentioned are also very different from Macbooks, but they are increasingly poor quality. I maintain that its a valid choice, maybe once they ha

Thanks for checking! I am on my phone and I just remembered that the connectivity was somehow less. :)

Why? If for software: thats the point. If for hardware (because its not serviceable): then thats what the framework is fixing. It is no secret that Apple hardware is superior right now. If you don’t like that as a fact then convince Dell&#x

if I understood right, the AMD chip is more power hungry due to not having the ultra-low-energy cores, and doesn’t support the new USB-4 standard. Benchmarks have to wait until the actual Intel chip is out.

Because realistically in the laptop computer space Apple is obliterating everything else right now. You can usually name a laptop that has some feature better than a macbook, but the overall package is so strong in so many avenues. Sound qu

AWS likes to redefine things. Air gapped means... there is nothing except air in the gap between systems. A physical tether would defeat it. Now, I pedant could start talking about wifi, but air-gapping is a concept older than the internet.

Lets put KDE as the default for Ubuntu and have GNOME available on Gnubuntu instead. :)

by dijit 6mo ago
Yeah. Just because it negotiates, doesn’t mean it can utilise.

where exactly did I say anything contrary to what you said. Are you implying that GNOME is the only thing that should be considered graphical? That everything else has to be an alternative? That GNOME, by virtue of existing has infinite rep

Something can probably be learned from Sweden, where nearly all information is public by default. Here's my home address btw, super easy to find if you know my name. DoB is on there too, who I live with, which door in the building, if

Why are you talking about compile times in a thread about supply chain security. 326 packages is approximately 326 more packages than I will ever fully audit to a point where my employer would be comfortable with me making that decision (I

by dijit 6mo ago
Preferences don't form in a vacuum though. There's a perception that GNOME is the "good environment" which means its decisions get treated as more important than other DEs' when things change: and that's somewh

Depends how integrated those features are. A service's availability is capped by its critical dependencies; this is textbook SRE stuff (see Treynor et al., The Calculus of Service Availability ). Copilot may well be on the side of it

Sure. The challenge is convincing people that "golden images" and containers share a history, and that kubernetes didn't invent containers: they just solved load balancing and storage abstraction for stateless message archite

Honestly, I’m not sure either. I can’t find anybody who actually went through the trouble of testing port/cable durability over many cycles. I can personally speak to the seeming reliability of the springs on lightening, but thats anec

The same way that the legislation that abolished slavery was bad because it didn’t account for the prison systems leasing out unpaid workers leading to even worse conditions for black folk in the US? People talk as if the EU should have don

I agree, and it preceeded USB-C. It came out in a market that was almost overwhelmingly USB Micro B; which was an extremely terrible connector. Apple really fucked up by keeping the connector proprietary. Sure it helped them slim some phone

Cookie banners is malicious compliance. The ultimate goal being for you yo think it was bad legislation instead of how every company is fucking you for your privacy. They’re winning.

most of the time I replace my phone because the battery degraded so badly and a replacement is expensive. Its not enough by itself that the phone has amassed scratches and is 20% slower or has a 30% worse camera optic than the current gen

The headline makes it sound as if it could have been useful for terrorism or something. Like "how bombs affect airplanes". But the actual article is much more haunting.

I think its incredibly ironic actually. The place where IPs are burned through rapidly (internal) is forced to use v4. (and, potentially even a subset of it, RFC1918; likely conflicting with some large company or service if they decide to p

By using a cloud provider, obviously. Local networks are too dangerous to be trusted. If its not going through Azure you shouldn’t be allowed to connect to your peer devices. (/s. if that is needed).
