We even have McAfee on our Linux machines... And yes, doing a build is impacted by this...

A few examples of such deaths: - An older man was found dead in his flooded basement. Presumably he went to check the status but exact circumstances and cause of death are not clear yet. - Another older man tried to remove some branches fro

Can concur here in Western Europe. For more than a decade we've had a regulation where you have to run your plans for a new building through a tool that calculates a score reflecting the projected energy consumption in a broad sense. T

I worked on an OpenWrt-derived product for some years and I found their build system quite good. If I remember correctly it's based on buildroot but they went separate ways somewhere in the past? In any case, I found it quite easy to a

Can confirm this is a nice introduction to network programming; it's how I got started. Once you know the basics you can switch to the man pages for more details.

With a household of 4 and doing everything electrical (cooking, heating, hot water but no electric car) we use on average about 9-10 kWh per day. A bit more in the winter, a bit less in summer. This is a well-insulated, relatively recent ho

I use https://blokada.org/index.html on Android. But you have to keep an eye on it because it can get killed when Android(?) thinks it needs the resources for something else. The app has some options to help prevent this bu

Here in Belgium kindergarten and primary schools were reopened in June for about 3 weeks until summer holiday started. The kids didn't have to wear masks, nor the teachers while in front of their class. Teaching was more or less like b

Same thing here. I'm in Flemish Brabant, very close to the Antwerp border. Google Maps geoip puts me even more north. I have an English browser and OS (granted, with some Belgian regional settings). Yet a lot of web sites choose to sho

I work with (consumer) internet gateways and the like. In Broadcom's SoCs the main chip is ARM. They have been moving away from MIPS for a number of years. I'm less familiar with other vendors but I briefly worked with a Qualcomm-

I've done something similar. At the side of the house I had a patch of around 50m^2 (I think...). Last year in spring I sowed a bunch of wildflower seeds bought from a local garden supplies store. It already bloomed quite nicely last s

It doesn't necessarily have to be the case. I've contributed a few small patches to some well-known open-source projects. In the months after that I've received a few automated mails from some CI systems informing me about so

At work we also cache all 3rd party dependencies locally. Not because the 3rd party servers might be down but to be sure that one/two/... years from now we can still recreate the same software we delivered at that time to a custom

I work in that area. All consumer-grade router/gateway SoCs from Broadcom have been exclusively ARM for several years now. They were MIPS before.

Here in Belgium it is mandatory (for quite some years) with every new building development to install a tank capturing rain water from the roof. This water must be used for flushing toilets and you typically also use it to water the garden,

Air is a pretty bad transport agent for heat compared to water. To heat a house (and especially poorly insulated ones) the air either has to be rather hot or flow pretty fast. The former is not very comfortable because of the large temperat

In our case it's something like five tons of cellulose. It's supposedly a good buffer against summer heat getting into the house but it doesn't really store heat to release it slowly when the temperature goes down again. I ca

I'm currently living in a passive house (in Belgium, Europe). We've only moved in two months ago so we haven't experienced a winter yet but even in the current summer climate it has already been an order of magnitude more com
