Yes, it's a valid option, but it's opaque closed source, and dumbed down with GUI crap for the clueless.

Most assuredly you indeed don't need X and that other crap, and with linux you needn't install it. I think everybody with half a clue knows that.

Confusing "router" with "router + WiFi access point" is a pet peeve a mine. To me a router has absolutely nothing to do with WiFi, yet almost every discussion of routers presumes WiFi. I don't use WiFi much, but whe

Or, rather than going through all that rigmarole, just use an SSD. If you want to save money, get a really cheap one. You can easily get a 60 GB SSD for $30.

Popular or unpopular, you know why you've taken a hit? Because you offer no rationale whatsoever for your opinion.

Sniff, sniff ... in the absence of specification of any cause, I smell political axe-grinding. I am always perplexed by conflation of political views with professional proficiency.

Plain un-customized Debian is what it comes with. Debian and Ubuntu are both popular, but you can run almost any distro.

Very expensive rack mounted enterprise equipment exists, and there are also these guys: https://www.css-timemachines.com/product/time-machines-preci... They have anything you need. Simplest is their WiFi clock which ju

IMHO there are plenty of evil corporations and CEOs to abhor. That Musk's drives, priorities, and business practices appear mostly admirable seems to me to be one of the least controversial viewpoints imaginable.

There is one thing which simple characterizations like this miss. That is the effect of fuel not lying level, given that at any instant the car may be accelerating longitudinally and laterally, not to mention driving on an inclined surface.

I habitually for a long time used to wait until the needle was all the way on E. I virtually always ran it way below 1/4. I am now at 190,000 miles, and have never had the slightest problem with the fuel system. My distance record was

My car happens to have no in-tank fuel pump. In fact it has no pump per se at all. The injection pump mounted on the engine sucks fuel all the way from the tank.

Yes, it has an alternator, and as I already explained, if you push-start the car and jam the fuel cutoff solenoid, you don't even need the alternator (or the battery). OK, you need them at night, for the headlights. Those windings and

Not reputable. Does the author have any conception of diesel engine theory? I do. Prior to computer controls (circa 1990s), the only active electrical component involved in keeping a diesel like the one in my Audi 5000 running, once start

Another of Apple's core tenets is "milk those cows [customers] for all they've got". They couldn't care less about any other market segment than the pure luxury status-seeker segment.

Do you have a reputable source for any of that? EMP effect is measured by field strength in volts per meter. If you don't have an antenna, or something to act like an antenna (telegraph/telephone/electric power lines) conne

Forgive me; your statement does not make sense. First you're implying that all you have to do is get more RAM; then you're admitting that you only have a certain amount, so you should stop using so much. In actuality, very few non

I favor precision in language. One may develop a cannabis psychic dependency or habit, but addiction means physical dependence including a real physical withdrawal syndrome.

ZFS does have a hard limit of about 280 trillion files in a single directory. It's actually just about the most confining limit it does have.

That's 6.53%, not 0.0653%. Bit of a difference.

You could have also tuned ext4 when you created it with mke2fs. You can specify with -N the max # of inodes desired. Granted, it's not something very many people consider when creating their filesystems; for one thing it's hard to

ZFS, which is known for having crazy high limits, will fit somewhat over 280 trillion entries in a single directory. Curiously, though, you can have over 18 million trillion file systems in a single storage pool.

It doesn't have to be a child in the sense of being young. No parent should have to outlive their offspring, especially when they are very close daily. I witnessed the effect on a 90+ year old mother of the sudden unexpected death duri

The prognosis depends on the circumstances leading to the vfib. If it is a response to a sudden 100% blockage in the left anterior descending coronary artery, that is a widowmaker. No amount of defib will "fix" that until the bloc

Excuse me; I don't think so. TNT is trinitrotoluene. Dynamite is a mixture of nitroglycerin, absorbents, and stabilizers.
