I have a C2 with them, and find that whenever I try to reboot it from within the VPS, it kernel panics rather than reboots. This makes automated security updates requiring reboot problematic (this is a small personal server for running next

Definitely used to be a thing in New Zealand AM broadcast stations. For example, here's an old antenna sign: https://photos.app.goo.gl/tzbJYT3nGpHELPWk6 I think the FM callsigns for the same station were different (fou

It is quite possible. I used to use packet radio on 144.45MHz, and when the conditions were right I could reach a BBS ~200km away. That's not terribly exciting, but both stations were pretty low to the ground, not very powerful or dire

Think of it like this instead: if more applications support wayland, then more people can switch to it, some of those will be developers who are then more willing to build/port DEs and WMs for it.

A local news site uses it, however as that's in a (distant) second language for me, and I discovered their app doesn't let me select to copy-paste words into a translator, it wasn't useful. Probably just an issue with their a

I run a small forum, and it was getting flooded with fake and spam accounts, the moderators were struggling to keep up and the users were finding it annoying. So I put a captcha on the registration page. The problem went to zero, new users

Most of mine lately have been traffic features also. This is a little tricky in some cases, e.g. with crossings, as it sometimes gives me things that I don't think are crossings but it insists I select, perhaps they are in the US, or t

That's the point of the article: If you're using "obsolete" or at least older stuff, all the potential unknowns have long been known so everything is much more predictable. That they succeed despite using older tech sugg

By commercial, I mean commercial users using hobbyist spectrum. These would interfere with the hobbyist use. Instead, if you're a commercial user you go to your RSM or whatever and licence a bit of spectrum. If you want to design and b

I think the catch is that people only notice when they're opposites. If making something more secure also improved the usability (or didn't harm it), then things would (generally) be done the better way. It's only when there&

It's being bashed because these are real problems that real people are encountering when using it. Just because there are worse options doesn't mean there aren't/can't be better options.

Ubuntu's backup thing (duplicity?) does something like this too. I can right-click in a directory and restore deleted files, or on a file and view previous versions. One suggestion for the author of that webpage, and a common complaint

Similar in the Netherlands with the train network, they've cut the train frequency way back and most intercity trains are no longer running, being replaced with sprinters (which stop at every station.) As is annoyingly common with them
