I actually have a couple of old PCI ethernet cards that have both standard RJ45 connectors and BNC coax connectors. Does that mean I actually have something rare?

I think this can apply for some things and not others. I mean, imagine replacing GCC. Obviously, it'd be better to do. I've heard it's one of the worst code bases to contribute to. Or look at OpenSSL even. For some things you

I know they're not the same, or even the same target market and demographic.. but can anyone explain why a VPS host like linode can manage to keep my VPS up for >6 months without reboot, while AWS or Azure can barely manage 1 month?

I wish they would've named the ISPs, but I'm sure they'd probably get in trouble for that heh

Thus far a lot of what he says seems smart... until I got to this: "Make variables as GLOBAL as possible. Why not? You can save some space and clarify your requirements. For instance, how many Is, Js and Ks do you need? In most cases a

The really sad thing is that Arch Linux use to pride itself on being BSD-like. It used a similar rc.conf system. Each service had exactly one init script, not the weird multiple file init script system Debian has. Before systemd, Arch was t

Stuff like this deeply fascinates me. However, I can't help but feel like a lot of it could be improved with the help of some automation tooling. Is there anything out there for like a "language" of sorts (or API, etc) that c

I code-review altcoins[1] as a hobby and stuff like this is why I give a ding to coins using floating point operations in, say, reward code, especially when it's something relatively complicated like multiplication or division. I'

This would be awesome. The one problem I've had with Spotify's radio service is only being able to pick up on genres and such. Many times I might like only 1 or 2 bands from a more obscure genre, but spotify radio does not underst

My first immediate complaint. Why FASM? yasm is basically the de factor assembler these days (really nasm is still really popular, but it's practically dead). The only things I see fasm used more than gas or yasm for are for wierd nich

This article is spot on. I've had countless reps try to sell me on U-Verse "It's fiber to your neighborhood, so it's faster"! My next question is of course "How fast?" "Well, you can get up to 18mbit&

When I moved out on my own in 2010, I didn't get any kind of TV service. I didn't need it, had rather my money go to other things, and traditionally it only functioned as background noise since I was usually on the computer or gam

I got into Doge when it was about a week old, stupidly bought like 1000 DOGE for 0.001BTC (there wasn't yet an exchange), which was way overvalued at the time. Then I setup cpuminer on my computer and let it run for a week and watched

I recently found a forum I had started in 2004 was still "alive" (but empty). I'm incredibly surprised that the host didn't dry up and die. I was even able to get back into the admin account. For the curious(and with muc

I tried blocking some of the relevant IP ranges, but it seemed like it wouldn't fallback or something. Instead of getting perfect streaming quality, I would not be able to load the youtube video at all

I am using different nameservers, but I've tried switching to the default nameservers and nothing appeared to change at the time, maybe I'll have to try it again

Interestingly, this also puts ISPs at a severe disadvantage for ratings if they decide to do net neutrality violating throttling on youtube or netflix. I hope every bandwidth-heavy service starts publishing reports like this

I'm in Cleveland, OH. Like I said, never have problems with other services like Netflix or even streaming videos by vimeo or skydrive, just Youtube. It's so frustrating I've considered setting up a network-wide VPN for my hom

Good. I swear youtube is throttled by Time Warner Cable for me. I stream Netflix, Hulu, etc and never have problems with them. I can confirm that I'm getting my speeds of 20MBit/s down, and yet almost every video on YouTube buffer

Interesting. Reminds me of the hack I did on a (mandatory) modem/router forced on AT&T users. They had a bunch of problems with it, so one day I got fed up after the millionth disconnect and cracked it open. Got a serial root shell
