There are many open bare places on Earth where solar panels are useless because there are no electricity users nearby: any desert. If all it takes is to truck the ceramic panels around and dump them to the ground, then it's probably no

OTOH, this automatic cancellation is very useful if one wants to obtain another citizenship. When I went through a process of relinquishing my previous citizenship, it included: - 11 documents, - 10 apostilles, - many authorized translation

Author here. Have you got it working with PCI or PCIe? PCI devices attached to the top-level bus do not request I/O ports unless they need to, and if they do, they request only small slice. QEMU also allows one to put 8 static PCIe dev

Author here. Your guess is right. A lot of hardware has migrated from using I/O ports to memory-mapped I/O, and instead of fixed I/O addresses ACPI or a similar mechanism provides the OS with the directory of memory addresses

Author here. Thanks, I'll give it a whirl! Not sure it will work though: I need to add an option to a `pcie-root-port` command-line argument managed by libvirt. I can try skipping creating `pcie-root-port`s by libvirt completely, and a

My father was a school gym coach and then a flight attendant. My mother was a sales clerk. Neither of them were into computers. I have no idea about none of their areas either. So I guess this only applies to a prestigious occupations.

Than all other _niche_ distributions. But that's not a very high baseline. I'd say it's abysmally low baseline. When I was using NixOS I regularely saw software that was tested on Ubuntu and Fedora and had installation instru
