The Pi is a good testbed for validating the technology, but I expect this to be more focused on much, much beefier boards meant for datacenters. May as well start getting the bugs out now.

a /8 is actually 16M addresses, not 1M.

I'm actually OK with Microsoft being in control of security patching cadence. Too many people are simply unable, unqualified or unwilling to do the job themselves, and when there's millions of them, you get botnets. I don't l

It was still attempting to load images, which probably caused the slowness - there is an option in the cached page header to request a text-only version which will load immediately.

Getting audio out on a pi0 requires a little bit of hardware hacking, but it's not at all impossible - the signal is there, you need a handful of components and some device tree settings: https://learn.adafruit.com/intr

Lasers+Adaptive optics compensate for the blurriness induced by the atmosphere, but not for the light pollution. The whole sky glows because of it, and items significantly fainter than the glow baseline are lost, even in long exposures.

BTRFS at this point feels a lot like a sunk cost fallacy - it proved its unreliability too many times over the years, and working on it feels like throwing good money after bad. Understandably some people may be more interested in not losin

Also it features a Pi 4 so it can't be older than June 2019. (but yes, I do share your frustration and sometimes spend more time looking for ANY date than reading an article...)

Shooting down another country's satellites is an incredibly bad idea. First, it's one of extremely few actions actually likely to get you nuked or "liberated" - you just threatened one of the most valuable strategic adva

Many people seem very keen on looking at the entire pipeline of EV, including mining the lithium and any other material, purifying the brine, etc, and also accounting how electricity is produced, making worst case assumption and so on. Whic

Snapshots are something you control - they don't happen by themselves. Furthermore, you only "pay" their storage cost for data which actually changes. On a 2TB volume, last snapshotted 1 week ago, if only 5GB have changed sin

You are not going to produce a tear in the fabric of space-time by running a similar comparison, you'd simply be wrong, and life will go on as usual. GDP is an aggregated annual "earning", a market capitalization is the value

I concur, it’s quite insane. All their initiatives brought back tiny, tiny figures compared to the google search deal. And that deal is so profitable because Firefox still has a decent market share. Torpedoing the technological future of th

Any Pi with just one USB port (zero, A, A+, 3A) is capable of USB gadget mode because there is no hub between the SOC and the port. Those with multiple ports have a hub in between and are not capable of gadget mode. The pi 4 is an exception

I'm aware of it - even talked some people out of attempting ecommerce without SSL about 20 years ago (not all successfully). But the linked article specifically mentions an HTTPS link.

No, not at all? SSL had been around for 6 years already, credit card transactions were quite common, especially with known, reputable hosts (Network Solutions can be safely be assumed to have qualified at the time)

To be honest, a train leaving early SUCKS. You show up on time, and you find out you missed it. Maybe the next one is in 40 minutes, maybe it's the next day. (I realize 20 seconds early isn't that bad, but still, leaving early b

Intel is quite unconvincing on a lot of key aspects (10nm, 7nm, performance after spectre family mitigations, etc) but to me the biggest danger is their inability to commit and persist on pretty much any topic which isn't their mainstr
