On a synchronous grid? Unless the capacity of the nuclear plant is tiny (which means the economy of scale is lost - who is building a nuclear plant in the area of 10s of MW?), you instantly have voltage instability if you lose supply, and y

It’s easier to mentally map that the default behaviour undo/redo for Emacs (which is not unreasonable, just complex). The source for undo-tree contains documentation which very effectively describes the way the library works with examp

It’s nice. I used to get an endless barrage of anxiety-inducing news, now all I see are posts from old friends and groups I’m interested in. I would be very happy to relegate news to daily chatter and the 7PM bulletin. I wonder if Facebook

Whether it sounds fake or not, there is next to zero chance it is fake. Imagine the consequences if it wasn’t.

Many people just see the mostly dishonest by-lines on Google Search talking about how the Australian government is threatening media in Australia and formulate their decision based on that. Honestly, if I had to choose to support either a t

I think dropbear is what sits under earlyssh. I'll look into dropbear-initramfs, if it's easier to work with than earlyssh that is a big plus in my book. edit: early-ssh is hosted at https://github.com/gheja/e

At the end of the day, all this really demonstrates is that the business model of producing open source software for free and charging for support or hosted solutions either does not work or does not scale. Part of the point of open source

Yup, earlyssh - I found it a massive pain to set up, but it works.

After a bit of reading, it sounds like he has some very nasty personal views. At least he respected the Mozilla community enough to step down when they came to light. His views do not impart themselves onto Brave of course, but I will stay

This is really a relief. I knew the two communities existed on a similar kind of plane, and was worried that cat-v and by extension 9front were just as bad as suckless. But I did not know how to interpret the connection between cat-v and 9f

In the early-2000s like many other people I was attracted to the Crystal[1] theme/icon pack, but it did not take long for it to start looking tacky to me. I feel like KDE never really abandoned this kind of look-and-feel until Plasma w

Some of the `su` restrictions and sandboxing could be useful, but most of this list is overly pedantic and honestly for my part I would not recommend it, it would be hell to maintain and is unnecessary for a desktop user. Just operate a fir

This was not tribalism. The vote was on a knife’s edge, and only after many years of anti-European sentiment stirred up by conservative and other Euro-skeptic sections of the media. We can squarely blame Rupert Murdoch for this, even if he

Utter nonsense. The community of Voat, as well as other far right/alt-right online communities, are hateful and wrong. If a group is intolerant of an unchangeable characteristic of another group (esp. race, socio-religious background,

bbatsov has done so much to develop Emacs into a modern IDE. CIDER, Projectile, Prelude, multiple themes which are easy-on-the-eyes ... his work is truly invaluable.

Yes and my toaster can run NetBSD - but who knows if it'll actually cook my bread. Who knows if the new Macbooks will even support WiFi with Linux.

Timescale isn't exactly huge yet, but their potential is enormous - but so is the potential in building a competing product offered as a service. Unless Amazon want to put at least 8 zeros in their offer, I can't see it happening,

RMS does not own the GNU Project. Period. Many have said that this action is about removing him from his own project - it is not, it is a statement that he should not lead a collective project which he founded. He is a founder and a leader,

GNU is bigger than RMS. Consider the fact that he’s getting on in his years - do you think that GNU will just fold when he’s no longer with us? Of course not, he’s the founder but it doesn’t stand and fall on his name. You’re suggesting the

Appreciate the effort and a very interesting write-up, but this is one of those pieces not well suited to a 280 character limit.

If you're willing to use Windows, honestly one of the better solutions today is to just run Windows 10 in a VM. It's even feasible to do this for video games with VFIO.

WireGuard is growing in popularity but I’m not aware of any router firmwares which have a WireGuard client built-in (maybe the popular open source firmwares). Many routers have OpenVPN clients built in.
