Oh these are nice , I didn't realise they'd updated them with 2.5Gbit ports :) For something a bit more affordable, the Turris Omnia or Mox are nice options too - https://www.turris.com/ I'm not the biggest

In the UK we actually only have one provider that does - EE. They do native v6 and 464xlat for v4 connectivity where handsets support it. Every other major provider is doing a horrible mess of IPv4 CGNAT with no native v6 still.

https://malwaretech.com/2024/08/exploiting-CVE-2024-38063.ht... is very worthwhile reading as a write on up this - it's nothing inherent in IPv6 and was a bug in Windows's packet processing of reassemble

I'd agree - IPv6 is only going to get more important from now. Especially with ISPs doing rollouts paired with moving v4 to address conserving mechanisms like CGNAT. The short list looks pretty sensible to me with those two exceptions.

I think you've missed the point: > I wonder, if you were to script all the commands you ran back in the day, and ran that same script on your old 386 and on a modern system with a top-of-the-line AMD Epyc or Intel Xeon, how much fas

I really enjoyed PvP and PvE shooters with my friend group in secondary school (that's 11 to 18 or so), but I don't get the same feeling with people I don't know. I do some occasionally with other friends but it's just n

Ah, I was meaning "indefinitely" in the sense of "an unspecified period of time" :) Practically, it's very rare for games to disappear from a Steam library once purchased. It happens for stolen/fraudulently pur

This is from a gamer's PoV, not someone in the industry: AAA Games are too expensive. Pricing for a retail product is not solely based on the cost to produce it, you have to price in what the market will bear and I think the games in

Steam doesn’t really compare to Netflix and Spotify - it’s not a subscription service where you can play whatever is currently available and titles appear and disappear with no notice. You buy individual games on Steam and it stays on your

I've been doing colocation in the UK for my personal hosting for 15+ years now, and it has worked fantastically well for me. There are three things I'd recommend though that the articles kind of gloss over: * get reasonable OOB ac

For me the problem with Electron is the “uncanny valley” effect - every app implements its own UI elements, and nothing is quite the same as the OS’s native behaviour. Different apps have different unique quirks/odd behaviour, almost n

The article slipstreams drivers rather than any updates - but yes, you could slipstream updates, and there are unofficial pre-updated ISOs available. I've tried ones for 98, 2000 and XP and I've found that most of those unofficial

It's behind my normal router/firewall so not directly internet accessible, but yes, I have it on my normal home network. Most network traffic to it is via a samba server on Linux configured to be accessible to SMBv1 still for use

If you have a need to install older Windows now, there are some great resources for installing updates: - https://legacyupdate.net/ - great for Windows 2000 and XP in particular - https://windowsupdaterestored.co

I'd second this comment. The best sync is one you don't do at all! If you're doing devops, I can't imagine you have a particular performance constraint that is tying you to a big desktop - like a requirement for a GPU, e

Hey, thanks for looking into this so fast. I checked this and it doesn't seem to be working for me - I can select it as a GM synth in the settings and select the right MIDI port, but it's not actually playing out via WebMIDI - it

Fantastic! Sadly it’s quite hard (and expensive!) to get a real SC-55 in the UK :/ The 8820 is the same architecture etc as the SC-55/88/88 Pro, so the simulation is basically swapping out the sample sets. I can’t tell the di

Do you have any plans to let people download the music collection in bulk? eg a direct download or via archive.org? You mention in your FAQ that preservation is a big goal of this for you, and this is a very impressive collection that I&#x2

I'd love to see WebMIDI support similar to https://chiptune.app/ I have a SC-8820 - it can simulate a SC-55/SC-88/SC-88 Pro (the SC-55 in particular is what a lot of VGM MIDIs were made using) and I'd

13th and 14th gen desktop parts are nearly identical - so lumping them together makes sense. Edit: 14th gen top end parts are basically 13th gen parts with different binning and higher clocks.

I’m very surprised re “docker works better on windows” - at work we do web dev and we use mostly macs. We’ve tried windows machines for docker and hit a ton of performance problems that just aren’t there on modern docker for mac.

I have a physical whiteboard. I write each task as one line on it (if I need bigger notes I keep those electronically - typically in Apple Notes). There's something very satisfying about getting to wipe tasks off as they get done :)

You’re right - I should have clarified that in my comment! The Wii GPU is very much the GameCube one with some tweaks and faster clock speeds. The 360 one is absolutely an ATI custom Radeon part.

by fourfour3 2y ago
It’s a bit tricky even to say that ATI developed them - they were designed by ArtX (mostly ex SGI staffers who had also worked on the N64), who were bought by ATI.

I agree with this a lot. I miss 1Password Mini in particular still (and no, Quick Access is not a replacement).

Ah, I find mixed DPI/resolutions is a disaster on Windows too - apps break when moved between monitors quite a lot. The trick for me was going all in - 4K monitors at 150% only on both Windows and Linux - on Mac I have a 4K portrait

I'm really surprised by this - I use Arch (btw) with KDE Plasma (5 and 6) and I've been using 150% on a 4K monitor for a long time and it has worked very well. Modern Qt apps work fine, browsers too. I find the GTK side of things
