Well, it requires almost an order of magnitude more energy to serve HTTP/3 than HTTP/1, so maybe? Why do I say this? Because it breaks nearly every optimization that's been made to serve content efficiently over the last 25

Is ARC really non-reclaimable on Linux? At least on FreeBSD, there is a kmem_cache_reap() that is called from the core kernel VM system's low memory handlers. Looking at the linux code in openzfs, it looks like there is an "spl_km

I used to run a Linux workstation in the late 00's (sorry FreeBSD folks, I know, the shame...), and I ran a closed source PVR application on it. The memory access pattern was pretty much pessimal for my use of the box as a workstation.

DEC was a big part of my life in the 90s. My first internship was working on a SCADA system on Vaxstations running VMS. My mom had to help me learn FORTRAN for this. (we were all unix/c at school). My first job was as a sysadmin start

If its an iPhone, have your son add you as an emergency contact and enable overrides for text and phone. I had the same problem with my son running his phone 24/7 in DND, and this helped a lot.

One of the things I hated about moving to iOS from Android is that the Garmin iOS app doesn't give you per-app controls over what notifications are pushed to the watch. At least on Android, I could easily control watch notifications

I've taken to just disabling all notifications from food delivery apps when I don't have an order pending.

Degrees can be overrated. I've worked with somebody about that age who also doesn't have a degree, and who also started working at AT&T. He worked his way up to programming, & he learned UNIX systems programming and netw

Yes, it is basically a prosumer version of the Epyc server CPUS, limit to a single socket, and with higher clocks. What frustrates me is that in the last 2 or so generations, you cannot simply buy a CPU. One has to buy an entire system fro

I have an "old" 32c/64t threadripper 2990-WX as my primary dev machine. I'm really looking forward to a consumer grade Zen5 with 32c/64t as an upgrade, as threadripper is now locked to high costs OEMs.. In fact, I

And if you're using FreeBSD with a fast NIC, look into the pfilctl command and use a "head" input hook into your NIC driver's ethernet input handling routine. Doing this allows the firewall input checks to happen early,

What happened to upload speeds? I remember ~10 years ago, LTE speeds on my carrier (T-Mobile) were in excess of 75Mb/s. Now we're down to about 1/3 of that. Is there some channels tradeoff in 5G, like DOCIS, where there ar

Thank you! This has been running for several hours now. If this allows me to fix it, I'll be very grateful. I've been delaying re-rooting all those worktrees for 6mo or more.. :)

This is more or less what I've been trying to do for quite a while. How do I grep for it? And once I do that, how can I "point it at a commit/object that does exist ?"

by drewg123 3y ago
Thank you. I've tried git fsck in the past, and it complains about the missing object as well. And I just tried "git gc —prune=now", and sadly it still fails the same way. I'm afraid I'm going to have to bite the b

Is an 80% discount typical for a foreclosure auction? I guess there must be immense risks involved, otherwise they would go for more money. Either that, or I'd have to assume that the auction was not properly publicized, and the HOA i

The irony is that while the HOA was great at delaying needed repairs for cosmetic reasons, they were terrible at keeping out the "undesirables" my ex-neighbors constantly lived in fear of. Somebody managed to open a half-way house

My first house was in a neighborhood where the builder set up an HOA mainly to care for the clubhouse/pool. Before I moved in, the neighborhood voted to disband the HOA and sell the pool. I think it was sold to a private entity.. i

Did you turn off the HP "DIRECT" wifi AP that screams at the top of its lungs and hogs valuable wifi spectrum? I live in a fairly low density townhouse, and 3 of my neighbors' printers are visible..

Since we have a road-trip problem, we should have a road-trip focused solution. Mandate that EVs allow DC 'fast' charging while driving, and then encourage companies with national car/truck/trailer rental networks like
