By gaccha they likely mean gacha as in gachapon. The Japanese capsule toy machines. Many loot box video games are sometimes referred to as skinner boxes[0] or gacha games. I definitely agree with your assessment that most crypto/web3 s

It sounds like it depends on your board’s manufacture providing it for your system but it looks like AMD is releasing the BIOS firmware to allow x370, b350, and a320 boards to support all the new cpus just announced today. In some cases you

It reduces potential e-waste but depending on the board there certainly will be issues getting the best performance out of the newer zen 3 cpus. No pcie 4.0 support being a big one.

Largely those style names do exist in the current product names. Since Intel styled the Core i-series 3, 5, and 7 (and the later 9) over 12 years ago, AMD is following their lead with Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and 9. The first digit is the generation

It looks like AM3+ went from 2011 to the first generation of Ryzen launch in 2017. Still you are right, socket 7 takes the crown for longevity and performance boost. Anecdotally, the increase in performance from my Ryzen 5 1600 to the Ryzen

The biggest part of this announcement is the bios updates for 300 series motherboards in my opinion. People who bought into the AM4 ecosystem 5 years ago should be able to update to these brand new zen3 cpus. Have we ever had such a long li

As someone who works in IT, I know first hand how much things break in Windows everyday. If Windows was as perfect as people on the internet claimed, I would be out of a very well paying job. With Linux, anything that goes wrong is almost c

I would say that I am not pro-advertisements but I understand things need to be paid for. Software worth using is worth paying for. But I would prefer to pay in currency and not time and attention. Additionally, a paid Operating System push

That is good to know. Far too many guides I have read for home networks are for single vendor network stacks and despite that never being the case at any of my jobs.

Like the ability for the ap to understand how the vlans the router setup work. I’m still quite the network novice but it seems like if I wanted a bsd firewall -> managed switch -> wireless ap I would need to confirm some level of inte

I would agree that it can be difficult to find quality hardware that supports the open source software stack. For example, what wireless access points are compatible with an openbsd router/firewall? I’ll admit that my initial searches

The current model Mac Pro at least supports add-in PCIe cards. So you are only 1 sound card away from having as many headphone and other audio jacks that you want.

What if labor rights and regulations provided nearly all the same benefits as unions but across the board to everyone, union member or not? Union membership could still be something you could choose to do, but the better working conditions

If crypto replaces fiat can you really say it is voluntary still if you need to pay your taxes in bitcoin or whatever currency your government wants to collect to pay for things?

Well randomized as in not your daughter’s name and her birthday as a password. But I get what you mean. Diceware passwords can provide “sufficiently random” passphrases that, if the end user chooses, does not have to have any numbers or spe

Never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing.

Using a password manager password generation tool or a diceware word list would be sufficiently random in my eyes but I get what you mean.

I mean do not require passwords to be reset every 30,60,90 days etc. Ideally you would only force a password reset if they fell for a phishing attack or there was a breach of the hashed password database/auth system.

by kemotep 5y ago
There does need to be some rules or else people would set their password to be blank or a few characters. I would be happy with consistent password rules. 1. No password that was included in a breach a la the “haveibeenpwned” hash check sys

If your location is assigned a /48 you can then set up over 65,000 subnets with 2^64 possible endpoints in each. My iPhone spoofs the MAC address each time it connects to WiFi, so support for changing your /64 is not going to be a

Theoretically yes but if your ISP assigns your home a /64 you can use 2^64 different addresses to access the internet. This still doesn’t protect your privacy because your ISP knows what prefix they gave you and will likely provide tha

If you count all the people whose 2nd or 3rd ISP options are Hughesnet and Frontier dsl (or mobile broadband hotspots with abysmally low data caps) those options barely count. If only 1 option can provide me with greater than 25 Mbps bandwi

Yes but in doing things differently with the new one people will defend systemd the same way people defend sysvinit was my point. They will claim the new way is too complicated or tries to replace too much. I might not be getting the point

Whenever these discussions of systemd come up, I am reminded of this talk[0]. It will be interesting to see if one day a replacement for systemd comes along and people who once championed systemd will begin to use the arguments the people w

If anyone is interested, Visa reports that their payments network (and supporting infrastructure) uses 740,000 Gigajoules[0] in a year. Can’t quite find a one for one measurement for Bitcoin, but due note this is the energy needs of all of
